He might be gone in a few years, but the way they are setting things up the Republican regime may be here to stay. Better to seek independence for better security

It's why I moved out to BC. My son has a disability, in Ontario if I left him inheritance and he was on a disability program the Ontario government would take the inheritance. In BC they see disability and inheritance as separate items and leave it alone.

There are ways around it in Ontario by setting up a special trust fund, but a province that takes away what should belong to somebody is not a good province.

You could argue that he's getting disability funds, but that is based on income and leaving a person inheritance is not income. And if it generates income then you should get taxed like normal, and disability payment adjusted to suit

Are you from America where you have never heard other English colloquial terms? Not being a dick, just asking. Because took in is a common phrase I heard in the UK, like I took in a lodger. And caught doesn't always mean captured by surprise, it can be more subtle like a moment in time, like I caught a glimpse of him searching for food scraps. Shortened to I caught him eating scraps, etc. Meaning visually.

Every country is in overdrive to regain their independence away from relying on the USA, for their own security and sovereignty. Yes money has gone into military spending and there have been other initiatives, but that is not appeasing trump, that is a "hold up buddy, we got to get our foundation established so you can't wreck us"

Credit Union had a good deal last year, start moving money into savings and they'd give you bonus interest on top of regular for 6 months. Wasn't bad $125 interest a month as we build savings up

Its everywhere in Canada. Never been a place I couldn't use it, even out in the boonies.

OpenSUSE has OneClick install for RPMs. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:One_Click_Install

Edit: and if you happen to download an rpm, you just double click it in the filemanager (or single click if that is your setting) and it launces the install GUI.

Its similar to how MSI file install looks...just next next finish kind of thing

There was a mild travel warning, it said safety could not be guaranteed, but didn't say don't travel, just suggested making other arrangements, and that they couldn't interfere on your behalf. https://ctcnews.ca/2025/04/07/canada-us-travel-advisory-april-2025/

There was an announcement on the website, just a mild warning that safety could not be guaranteed. Around this time. https://ctcnews.ca/2025/04/07/canada-us-travel-advisory-april-2025/

Many thanks to all those that maintain FOSS. i had setup a pi4 running 32 bit Debian Buster years ago (pandemic days) with OpenMediaVault 5. With the OMV docker and portainer plugin I had various dockers running, but found some dockerhub images weren't supporting 32bit. I had thought ubout updating to 64 bit install but thought I might have headaches, so just blocked the pi from accessing the internet and sidelined the update. Since it is the holidays I figured I would tackle an update.

Scope:

  • update to 64 bit
  • move from Buster to Bullseye
  • move from OMV5 to OMV6
  • fix everything that failed including docker.

Step 1 add "arm_64bit=1" in the config.txt file of /boot and reboot. Took a while to boot with lots of drive activity but 64 kernel worked perfectly.

Step 2: run sudo omv-release-upgrade

That is it. Two commands and everything updated perfectly. Nothing to fix.

To me that is an amazing testament to the work put in by everyone for Linux kernel, the OS, OMV devs, and Applications maintainers. Amazing.

 

Hot day, Buddy wants some cool beans.
