  • I’m equally upset at Canadian companies selling items that are not made in Canada, under a guise that it’s “all Canadian”.

    Example: I want a folding coffee table. Found a Canadian company in Windsor, Ontario. Looks legit… Looking closer, the tables are made in Poland…

    There DO exist companies that are through and through Canadian… too many are masking it though. It’s understandable for some things but it’s nuts for stuff like furniture, like above (QC has a lovely woodworking furniture industry)






  • What a weird thing to focus on, are you planning to go visit your VPS in person?

    GoCode is the parent company, and you can see they offer colo in an Equinox datacenter. I imagine this might be a one person contracting team that uses a PO Box for home address privacy (as I do myself for my business purposes)


  • They run a Tier 2 networking service, including peering with a lot of big exchanges. They’ll be around for a while… And have been so far…

    Hetzner does the same shit for ID verification/provisioning, it’s all related to anti spam and anti malicious use.

    I host at home but use Xenyth as a reverse proxy, that’s honestly what many people who are comfortable to run their own server should do; protect your home IP.
