I would love for the ad-supported model to die. I hate ads, and I hate having to serve ads. We get some subscription users but nowhere near enough to cover costs. Unfortunately, what I think will happen - and indeed already is - is that t

Fail2ban doesn't scale well to these volumes of traffic and request patterns. Just like fail2ban is not very useful against a DDOS attack where each unique IP only makes a few requests with a large (hour+) delay in between requests. T

AI companies and notably AI scrapers are a cancer that is destroying what's left of the WWW. I was hit with a pretty substantial botnet "distributed scraping" attack yesterday. - About 400,000 different IP addresses over abou

Yeah. Of all the Apple software piss-off's I've had over the last few years, I feel that Screen Time is a broken mess. So many things don't work, require newer versions of iOS than the device supports, etc. I've used it

CBC used to be so excellent. Now we've got a CBC that punishes those that go against their political ideology - funded by the Liberals, with people like David Cameron and Rosemary Barton choosing who gets to be on discussion panels.

Cost of living and the seemingly continuous drop in quality of life are playing a much bigger role than social media use. Trudeau's devastating policies may have done well for the pat-themselves-on-the-back-because-we're-so-great

Not even close compared to Google Play and their review and appeal process. Recently I had an app for a customer. Approved easily by Apple. Rejected by Google. The reason given by Google was completely meaningless in the context of the ap

It was a hell of a time to be on the internet, for sure. Security was basically non-existent or so badly implemented that it was a joke. Some fond memories of my early teenage years: - Causing net splits to steal ops / takeover IRC cha

Sounds good! I'm usually in Cranbrook a couple times a year.

If you mean Bell, they are near non-existent in these parts.

I love Canadians. And Americans. And I've lived in a few different countries in my life. No country is without faults, but, Canada right now is a mess.

Close enough though a bit more in the boonies. They wanted me to drive to the Rogers store in Cranbrook or Kelowna.

I (born and raised Canadian) moved my family to Canada 5 years ago. We've been on a waiting list for a doctor ever since. My only option to see a doctor here is to go the emergency room at the closest hospital.

Funny thing, I lived outside of Canada for many years though I am Canadian born and raised. I moved my family back for a "better quality of life". Jokes on me. ;) I love the land and the people, but, the country itself is a mess.

They did mail me SIM cards, three times, for three different numbers each time. Their system didn't work when setting them up, and I had two different support operators tell me that my only option was to drive to Cranbrook. In the mid

Networking 101 doesn't apply when you have collusion between the only two major telecom companies... and they both are bad. Why spend money on reliability when there are no consequences of not doing so?

Yep. Allowing Rogers to purchase Shaw was absurd. The Commissioner of Competition was very strongly opposed to the merger, the court ruled against him, and Canadians had to pay Rogers $13 million CAD because he opposed it. I was a Shaw Mobi

In Southeast Asia there are many markets selling used clothing like this. It provides a good business for the vendor and a great option for many locals to get much nicer clothes than they could otherwise obtain. Googling, it appears simi

Damn, you mean we can't just swap resistors to under/over volt anymore? I am getting old. (tongue in cheek, and yes, I am getting old) Shit, I remember just using a pencil to lower resistance values.

The numbers might be a bit bloated, but not by a lot. We had just moved to Canada from a country without a reciprocal drivers license exchange - no matter as she never had one. Where we had moved from, drivers licenses are largely consider

There are almost certainly aggregate sites that will share the new domains, messages boards, social media, instant messaging, etc. Word of the new domains will travel very quickly. Hell, they could setup their own public DNS outside of Fra

Or just footybite.cc will become footybite1.cc, then footybite2.cc... so on. The people writing these laws are seemingly clueless about the internet. Or perhaps, the lawyers just don't care as they are getting paid.

I haven't even thought of Berkeley DB in years. Used to use it quite a bit but most notably perhaps with apache mod_auth_db to handle authentication and subscriber information on a fairly high traffic site (yes, this was long long ago

Anecdotally, my wife's Magnum Premium 2 has held up well for 4 years of all weather use in west coast Canada. This includes pulling a cargo trailer or kids trailer year round - salty and sandy slushy snow, pouring rain, sun... For two

No, but Google will find and spider the URLs found from at least two sources: 1) Users may (inevitably will) share links to the URLs on social media / wherever, and Googlebot et al will find those links and spider them. 2) The URLs wil
