How a newbie sees that tutorial for beginners you just wrote: https://anniemueller.com/posts/how-i-a-non-developer-read-the-tutorial-you-a-developer-wrote-for-me-a-beginner #prograaming #tutorials #justforfun

[Canadian Politics] A lot of hate for Carney bantered around lately, with no links or data. Fine to vent, byt include links and data where beeded. Seeing lots of blind “oh yeah, wow, I hate him!!!!!!!” Canada is going through some changes, some things will be upsetting or not what “you” want […]

We helped someone several months ago who was able to get to the Eastern Townships from the USA. In the end a helpful real-estate agent who knew the area was able to help. Perhaps worth a shot? #montreal #quebec https://438punk.house/@xyhhx/115224942104745505

Any Mediawiki extension devs here that use SublimeText3? I am struggling to get linting and fixing for css/js files working correctly. Could use some advise. #mediawiki #linting #eslint #jsprettier #stylelint

This is really bad for wyzecam owners. Read the thread for ways to migrate the firmware. Be sure to tell wyzecam what you think. #privacy #homesecurity #selfhost #homelab https://mstdn.ca/@chad/115210303120859445

A few products I’ve not heard of. PhotoPrism looks interesting. https://mastodon.social/@ryse/115208860900178752

With the tech going into iPhones, how can iOS Contacts be so stupid. Copy/Paste an address in and you need to manually cut and paste all the parts to the correct field. Adding an email to a business entry and it defaults to home. Copy paste an email from a website and it keeps the mailto […]

[Politics] Sorry Mastodon followers, but as a Canadian, when I see a representative of a state begging Canadians to visit, we need you they say, everything is good here they say, and then read articles like this in the guardian… hell no we won’t go. There are so many reasons now, that as a […]

A bit of an old list but holds merit for those learning. Safe to ignore the twitter list I think. 😬 https://mstdn.io/@dabiddo/115186631023447162

We had arranged all sorts of tasks and meetings around the day our new heat pump at the farm was being installed. They called today to move installation out 2 weeks. I’m going back to bed.

If you have pihole installed on a raspberry pi, DO NOT upgrade to v6 unless you have a backup, or a huge honkin’ Raspberry Pi. V6 uses significany more resources. You’ll most likely be downgrading back to v5 again until the devs figure out the issues. 😡 #pihole #adblocker

If you haven’t watched it yet, take some today “Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People" presented by Capt. Grace Hopper at NSA in 1982 https://youtu.be/si9iqF5uTFk #history #gracehopper #nsa #security https://infosec.exchange/@littlealex/115162215245843849

[ICE] Seems like we have some space in Canada for Hyundai to build their battery plant here. Perhaps to replace the abysmal failure of NorthVolt in Quebec? We promise not to detain their immigrants. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/05/immigration-ice-raid-hyundai-georgia #politics […]

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a pretty decent collection. #selfhosting #selfhost https://bsd.network/@gabeguz/115152144788410057

I've been poking around Plateau alleys for 20 years, still finding new stuff... #montreal #walking #art

One might think finding Canadian made sour cream was easy. We need to keep reminding ourselves of the difference between “Best - Product of Canada” “Meh - Made in Canada” “Crap - Prepared in Canada” Have I got that right? #boycottusa #elbowup #buycanadian

[Boycott USA tech] BoycottUSA included tech. Don’t forget! And yes, this is a bit tougher but I think we can find solutions like we have with merch and produce. #boycottusa #elbowsup https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/@BlackIkeEagle/115094523012078598

Canada Sauce condiments! https://canadasauce.ca/en yes, a truly Canadian company here in Quebec making ketchup, relish and mustard! Available at metro the site says #buycanadian #boycottusa #elbowsup

Was thrilled to be able to buy today, blueberries, strawberries and cherries, all from Canada. Was sad they had no truly Canadian ketchup or mustard. Just giant Heinz and French’s bottles with large maple leaf’s on them. Yes, made in Canada by a USA company. Tonight we are having blueberries […]

Tip for newbs: If you want a lively feed, be a follow back person. My criteria for NOT following back are extremely narrow. My default response to a follow is to follow back. You're not gaming any algorithms here or gaining any cred with your ratio.

We don’t have this in Quebec as far as I know. Mind you, we don’t have many ranches either. But I’m betting I’d love to go to a Peavey. https://mstdn.ca/@cass_m/115079687020603492

A chrome based browser (Vivaldi) is a gazillion times faster at navigating Google Cloud console, than my Safari browser. Same account, same machine, same internet. Odd that. #devops

Aujourd'hui, j'ai appris que M. Lucien Bouchard est toujours en vie… wow! #quebec #politics

Looking for a Jenkins/Google GCE DevOps person to help optimize our setup. Ideally looking for a review with optimization, and a report on what was done and best practices for us moving forward from a “how to keep it optimized" point of view. We are not using Kubernetes, and unless K8s can being […]

Never listened to Louis Rossman before. Good video and some nice layman explanations. #wtf #dataprivacy #privacy https://phpc.social/@nicoverbruggen/115044036529423388

[Elbows up rant - swearing] FUUUCCCKKKing stores. Wife and I thought our blueberries were from Canada. You REALLY can’t let your guard down for a second. I feel so stupid about this. In Montreal we were having troubles finding Quebec blueberries in any store […] [Original post on phpc.social]

I didn't even know this existed. It's a map showing Canadian air quality from different sources like purple air and government agencies. It does some converting to have the values comparable. https://aqmap.ca/

I should have read the site more carefully… preference is given to those that have money, and are willing to subscribe. Making the playing field advantage to those that can afford it. Very disappointing. And the rich get richer. #enshitification https://phpc.social/@outofcontrol/115033089998039048

Hey fellow Canadians, want gold? Here’s your chance to use your noggin for something fun… https://www.mining.com/1m-gold-up-for-grabs-as-canada-treasure-hunt-begins/ #gold #treasurehunt

Not a mention anywhere on CBC that I can see. Instead they fill their Canadian news headlines with Trump shit : https://mstdn.ca/@chad/115032138992666085

Currently shouting out all the sponsors for the project. I'm thrilled with how commerical folks have partnered with the university. Ad astra Starsailor!!!! 🇨🇦

Saw this posted as wee tiny text on a big image earlier. Now we all know what it says: “My wife and I began focusing on buying Canadian made grocery and pet food items on Jan. ist. We are now on track to have diverted $n,000 from the U.S. economy by the end of this year. And we are just one […]

Reminder: if you’re going to post images with text and not put text in your post, please take 30 seconds and add an image description. There are loads of folks that rely on this. Seeing a lot of images lately with the text being posted, you know who you are 🤨

I was looking at using Strongbox, a #password manager app recommendation from Mastodon to replace #1password. Just found out that Strongbox was bought by Applause in March 2025, and Applause is owned by Vista Equity. So, #enshittification of #strongbox is now under way. No thanks. No reason to […]

[Canadian Politics] A reminder that Canadian Conservatives are becoming more and more like the USA Republican Party https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/michel-rempel-garner-two-tier-justice-1.7608055 First step is to vote that vile snivelling little shit out of his seat in Alberta in a few days […]

A good soaking has commenced. Along with some strongish winds. Finally!

Looking stormy in Ottawa, coming to Montreal. The rain will be most welcome.

Someone asked about Canadian made charcoal, another brand is Xylo, from St Tite Quebec. Sold at Patrick Morin. #bbq #charcoal

My first terminal experience was on McGill University System for Interactive Computing (MUSIC). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSIC/SP Learning assembler on that was a hoot

🧵 Dear Republican lawmakers, Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet. An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1

Been 10 years or so since I last used Ubuntu as a daily driver. Getting back into it has mostly been a pleasure. Linux is occasionally flaky, unintuitive, lacking in fit and finish, etc. But it's the only major operating system not designed to take advantage of you.

Looking for nice Canadian made clothing, checkout Ethica. Ethical clothing made in Quebec https://boutiqueethica.com/en/about-us/ #buycanadian #boycottusa #elbowsup

Did a stupid thing. Hetzner rescue mode console is significantly nicer and more useful than the DigitalOcean equivalent. You can also side load your own flavour of Linux #hetzner

Great news! As a subscriber to this plugin for a couple years, it is definitely worth it. #laravel #php #phpstorm https://mastodon.social/@Kovah/114943901975497182
