Totally agree we should invest more in trains and other forms of transit. Especially in areas where it would relieve a lot of car traffic like the Toronto to Montreal route. I dream off a day where I could ditch my car and be easily able to travel between those cities without breaking the bank, or being stuck with freight rail traffic. Honestly I think I would settle for VIA having more priority on the rails. The travel time isn’t that bad when compared to driving. The costs and the uncontrolled delays are really killer.

With that being said, I think Canada would be better off aligning their tariffs on China with the EU. I don’t think we need to cut of China completely but we would be better off aligning with the EU and keeping our options open to have a diverse set of trading partners instead of relying on one big partner like we do now with the US.

Its a stretch but I’m hoping with a liberal minority there is chance the NDP could advocate for electoral reform as negotiation point. Its a stretch but I feel like its the only way it could happen.

I’m worried our multiple parties could disappear after this election :( I understand why it happened but I hope the trend doesn’t continue to a two party liberal vs conservative system in Canada

I actually lived for a short while in Hintonburg and though it was pretty walkable. Looking at availability right now its been hard to find anything in that area that has 2 or more bedrooms and is less than 3k a month. Glebe & Westboro also seems like they would be great but I’m not seeing a lot of availability :/

How long does it take you to walk to a grocery store? I’m looking on google maps and it only really looks like there are the stores on bank st you could walk to and it honestly doesn’t seem like that great of walk. Like most of the neighbourhood is > 30 minute walk to them. Are there any other stores nearby you can walk to < 20 minutes?

I’m not sure if you can do it without authenticating on the remote. Have you seen sshuttle? Maybe you can run that on the remote to connect to the local machine. If the issue is that the remote “can’t see” the local machine to ssh into it then you could try something like reverse tunnel the ssh port to the remote, and then use sshuttle to connect to the local port that is forwarding traffic.

Very exciting for another Blendo Game! Very much have been looking forward to skin deep releasing. Also very happy it will have steam deck / linux support 😁

Oh wow, this looks interesting! My friends and I started playing Valheim again recently and this looks like it might scratch the same itch!

off topic but I wonder where that radar picture came from that it has the canary islands on them 😅

Would be really happy if Canada was a future EU member 🤞 but this doesn’t instill much confidence https://www.politico.eu/article/canadians-want-join-european-union-will-never-happen-paula-pinho/ 😔

How do you search for games in different languages on Itch?

Are you talking about Freedesktop.org selfhosted gitlab instance? They have a week of planned maintenance. I don’t think gitlab’s main gitlab.com instance is going down for week.

100% agree, would like to see more stuff in this space. Do you have any links to more “enbryonic tools”. I recall seeing another tool awhile ago that I tested (can’t remember the name) that worked a bit like LingQ. It would run a webserver and you could read links through it and mark words you didn’t understand. I couldn’t really get into a flow using it as tool to learn languages.

Probably? I just have it setup to always be running in the background on my devices. So if it detects a file change to my sync folder that gets sent to all other devices currently connected. I use global sync so as long as the device has an internet connection or is on the same local network it should be able to sync.

There is an API to interface with syncthing daemon running on your computer https://docs.syncthing.net/dev/rest.html so if you wrote a program to track the nfc action and interface with that API I think you probably could.

No problem! I personally use syncthing to keep my password database synced between my phone, laptop, and desktop. As well as to keep some important files backed up between different devices that way if my hdd or something happens to one of the devices I have backup on the other ones.

So just sync over local wifi basically? I’m pretty sure you can do thing with syncthing if you just disable “global discovery”. You can read the local discovery protocol here https://docs.syncthing.net/specs/localdisco-v4.html but afaiu there is no cloud sync involved at that point and just device to device sync.

Do you mean sending patches by email? The author for the article also despises them as suggest alternatives for collaboration where you do “pull request” by people giving you a link to their repo and branch name (like literally asking you to try pulling from their git repo), or sending git bundle files which get around a lot of the problems of trying to send patch files around.

I agree that having all the commentary in private by default is not ideal for open source. the email verification idea is interesting since it gives you the benefits of not having to create an account.

To me the article was interesting because it points out ways that git “just works” that people might not realize. Like that you can just create a bare repo and upload to that.

There is movistar plus which is a bit like crave, so its 100% not cutting off the US as you can watch some american content on it. But it also has a lot of Spanish content which is fresh for us. We’re also looking at some UK streaming services that are available in Spain like BBC ITVX but we haven’t subscribed yet.

Also looking at the high seas for content we couldn’t get at either of those 😅

Last year I moved from Ontario to Spain so avoiding American products has been pretty easy at the grocery store. The main thing has been cancelling online American services like Netflix, Amazon, Google one, Youtube Premium, etc.
