Happy Canadian here too, but if I want to move I'd probably move to New Zealand, I've never been there but Peter Jackson made sure I can live there forever with beautiful memories. Even here in Canada when I hike with my dog I thi

I'm sure some can't. I didn't mean to say that, I was just telling how I perceived it. In fact, I warn my Hindu friends against using the Hindu swastika on their cars or on their houses here in the West, just so that they don

I hope this drug is safe for all the people consuming it. That said, as someone who prefers to stay fit the hard way (exercise, sleep and balanced diet) I would never take a drug to stay in shape or for that matter anything else that could

My first ever Linux distro (years ago) was Redhat 7.2. I LOVED it! Eventually working mostly in the corporate (Microsoft dominated) world I lost track of what was going on the Linux world. Few years ago, when I was trying to get out of Micr

I use pixel 3 with https://calyxos.org/ as a home phone to play music, record videos, pictures etc. Calyxos is still providing extended support for 4a, but microG doesn't work as well compared to sandboxed google play

I hear you, and I somewhat feel the same. However, a workaround would be to save the TOTP secret safely like a password. I have started treating all my TOTP secrets as my secondary passwords.

I agree with your comment. I have never been laid off, and I hope I don't ever do or at least I see the signs early on to be prepared. The way I see "work" is that you are going to spend 8hrs of your day doing it, so you bett

Already out of stock at aliexpress, is there any other place to buy it? BTW really love the industrial design look. Very retro, although I can see some people being turned off due to it. I am assuming it is metal case.
