Either Shaw was gouging, or the first couple generations of cable modems really were three times today’s cost. This was in the days where the DOCSIS standard capped out at 40Mb/s (which you only ever got close to when you happened to be downloading from a CDN hosted by shaw)

Sure, my experience was twenty years ago, but at the time my modem was roughly one month’s rent at a dive apartment.

Hey, everyone – Check out Mr. Moneybags here!

In all seriousness, I do the same. We’re pretty fortunate to win at the game of life and not get stuck in the living-paycheque-to-paycheque hole, aren’t we?

I run my own email server using mailcow-dockerized. Ironically, the problem is not enough volume.

I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

Of course, that’s less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

I’ll be checking back here hoping you’ll find a solution.

Just a reminder here about how strict these leagues’ social media policies are. My wife was reduced to tears when called by a furious board member (or some kind of management or head coach) over her tame comments online about being disappointed after a practice. My wife was told that we would be sent to tribunal over the matter.

I still don’t see where it says not to report crimes.

clergy must obey civil reporting requirements where they live, and that their obligation to report to the church in no way interferes with that.

About the PIN thing – I was confused too, because they never bother explaining to anyone. What actually happens is their system automatically e-mails you a new verification code (not a pin, if you ask me) while you’re on the phone, and you need to remember to check whichever e-mail account that is and continuously refresh until it comes up.

It doesn’t help that e-mail, like SMS text messaging, while being very fast is absolutely NOT an instant communication method. There can often be delays receiving a message with those technologies due to how they’re designed.

They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I’ve been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

I’m not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under “Various Artists”. As such, I’ve been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

Subsonic doesn’t work for me, I’m guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.

While this no doubt could have unforeseen legal consequences, I like the attitude of possibly recognizing the rich aboriginal history in at least parts of mother earth as a person as a means to practice good environmental stewardship.

There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

Subsonic begat libresonic

Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.

The provincial governments in charge of our single payor health care system made the conscious decision to keep the liquor marts open while banning in-person sales of tea kettles (and we call ourselves a commonwealth nation!) during a pandemic.

I think our single payor at least partially did this to themselves.

The headline said “could,” so I’m going to assume the headline is clickbait and the price hike will in fact make it cheaper, or dare I say, free.

I don’t think they’re suggesting taking it away from the rightful owner.

Emphasis on the ‘terribly’, then.

I eventually found what you were talking about after clicking on the suggested links in the article. The post here doesn’t mention anything about what you’re talking about but the links do here https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/bruxy-cavey-meeting-house-2022-sex-assault-charge-stayed-1.7271208 (near the end, when it mentions a “communications pastor”)

I’m sorry to hear about your experiences. Please report it to the police if you can.

Our satellite imagery of fires is pretty impressive. So impressive, that last week it told me that half my city was on fire when it turned out to be the off-gassing fire at the sewage treatment plant.

Did we read the same article?

I’m not so sure “dipped” is the right adjective from my “sporadic at best Cost of Living Adjustment less than the inflation rate” point of view.
