A recall petition targeting B.C. Minister of Education Rachna Singh has been approved by Elections B.C., clearing the way for organizers to start collecting signatures starting Nov. 30, 2023 through to Jan. 29, 2024....
Geez really? I had no idea that pedestrians were so careless, what is it about larger trucks that makes people jump out in front of them.
I like to see things as an opportunity, and I think we can use this as a lesson to do things differently. Like, let’s make trucks louder so you hear them before you see them. More Turbo, and how about vertical tail pipe stack. Next we can increase the number of lights, and make them brighter so that everyone can see. Let’s add more cameras and computers so the driver can see their blind spots simply by looking at the command console screen. We can even make these features available for free for a small amount of non invasive advertising.
Do you remember how trains solved the problems of cows derailing trains. They put a guard on the front. So let’s make an even bigger steel bumper.
I have a server where I believe I have disabled root login via ssh. I think it is done correctly, as I cannot login with root myself via ssh, but I would’ve thought that it would be reflected in /var/log/auth.log. Instead, it shows up as failed password entry. Is this intended?...
Yes that’s the right way to block root login. An added filter you can use the ‘match’ config expression to filter logins even further.
If you’re on the open network, your connection will be heavily hit with login attempts. That is normal. But using another service like Fail2Ban will stop repeated hits to your host.
Ssh listens on port 22, as soon as a connection is made the host moves the connection to another port to free up 22 for other new connections.Btw: I wasn’t thinking clearly here. Out going connections won’t be using port 22, but the listening incoming port is always 22.
Match blocks allow you to restrict who/what is allowed or not allowed to connect to the server. There is a large number of options to utilize. Put this near the bottom of sshd_config. There should be an example there.

Now DULF gets their day in court. That’s good news. These laws are harming and killing Canadians who are seeking to ease their pain. DULF was non profit, and they proved that safe drug supply works. They are doing the hard work for us. Get your pocket books ready, we’re going to court.
According to DULF’s data, no one who is part of their program has overdosed using the drugs they’ve provided.
They also have claimed DULF has stopped $100,000 from going to gangs in BC by providing the drugs themselves.
DULF has worked with a variety of other organizations as well, and is a contractor with Vancouver Coastal Health providing overdose prevention training, harm reduction help, and drug checking. At the direction of the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Jennifer Whiteside, that $200,000 per year contract is ending Oct. 31.
Today, the Dell XPS-13 with Ubuntu Linux is easily the most well-known Linux laptop. Many users, especially developers – including Linus Torvalds – love it. As Torvalds recently said, “Normally, I wouldn’t name names, but I’m making an exception for the XPS 13 just because I liked it so much that I also ended up buying...
The XPS line was popular at work. Desk candy to compete with Mac books. However the engineering did not complete at all. The battery was the biggest fail point, we had a high percentage of battery issues under warranty, and they would take months to get replaced by the vendor.
We stopped buying them, if someone wants desk candy these days it’s mostly Mac book pro as expensive as your budget can handle.
Pierre Poilievre said the loss of British-owned HSBC's Canadian division will exacerbate issues in Canada's banking sector, which he said is already overly concentrated.
I can completely respect your perspective. Yes I was being short when I made this comment, no offense to the op was intended.
To patronize a service because its good does not imply loyalty.
Apple has a long history of being manipulative and exploitative of their customers. Being loyal to them (from my perspective) is like being loyal to an abusive person. You obey their commands not because of respect, but because you feel an emotional bond to them.
In a new poll, nearly half of Canadians say they support the notwithstanding clause to ensure that schools tell parents if their child wishes to use a different name or pronoun.
Rather than blaming the ignorant about these issues. I think this report shows we need to do more work too support schools and raise the level of education on these important, and life saving curriculums and services.
Pro tip, tell them you want to end your subscription immediately. Don’t say anything, awkward silence. When they ask an another question to goud you into staying repeat the first statement. If they ask rando questions, silence.
They give up in under a minute. Be polite but obstinate.
The people who have to face social issues like this are incredible humans. When faced with being an outcast from your family, or being the person you really are, the traumas that many transgendered people have risen above is inspiring....
After the install. Create admin and user accounts not tied to ms. Use the user account normally, and when you need admin you enter the second account details.

Yeah, I can understand how a group like the Sikh population in India, or the Quebecois in Quebec would like to be away from a government telling them how to do things.
I also agree, in Canada at least, that we are better together. Learning to live with our differences will make us stronger.
If donnie trump, lauren boebert, marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz, ron desantis and greg abbott were in Canada they would be running for the CPC. The people in Canada actually running for the CPC are exactly like this.
Fortunately, our parliamentary system of government gives the citizens more power over our elected officials.
We have had government’s be forced over to the opposition bench because a majority of house seats joined together to form a government.
We’ve also had recalls that have worked. So yes I agree the CPC represents a zany reality of govt. I don’t think they would be able to pull off the same hijinks.
An affordable housing crisis that is hurting the Canadian government's popularity will take years to resolve, even if construction hits an 80-year high, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Saturday.
The central feature of Poilievre’s plan is a policy that ties federal funding to housing starts.
Which creates more bureaucracy on to of an already bureaucratic system. Genius
Forcing cities to levels of growth whether they have infrastructure or not. If they don’t have the ability to meet that number they will be penalized seeing cities further back causing more problems.
Thank-you for bringing that up. I laughed when I saw it. I’m surprised he isn’t wearing a harness, hi vis, and a hard hat.
If you watch the video, you can see the platform in the executive parking lot lifts him up to use the Shaw workyard as a background. This way he doesn’t have to get his shoes dirty.
Typical G&M flame bait. Blaming immigrants and JT for the immigration policies. Let’s toss in the health care problems too. Why are the liberals doing this to us? Crocodile tears
No mention of speculative investment in housing, greedy landlords jacking up rents, corpo land holdings, foreign land holders, claw backs on infrastructure grants, complicated building laws, red tape and all that.
This tripe from the Postmedia network is more distraction from the real news.
November 2019, Postmedia announced[25] that 66% of its shares were now owned by Chatham Asset Management, an American media conglomerate which owns American Media, Inc., and is known for its close ties to the Republican party.[26] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmedia_Network
Update: Whoops. Here I’m talking shit about G&M and they are not owned by Postmedia. I’m not a fan, but I did misrepresent the paper, and this article. I suppose that I’m so used to conservative shit, that I might scan articles leaning to the right. I’ll do better.
Okay, you got me. The G&M, the conservative shill piece that it is, put out an article that leads the reader in a couple of circles to come around and ponders this thought…
What can be said about population growth is that it makes the costs of bad policy more apparent. If it means we are now beginning, at long last, to have a serious conversation about the barriers to investment and housing construction that have bedevilled this country for decades, then hallelujah for all those extra people, and let’s have lots more.
As you pointed out the article isn’t blaming increased immigration. But it also isn’t pointing fingers at property for profit. Instead the problem eludes to barriers to investment and housing construction.
I was sick, so I could tolerate the presentation which had high-end effects.
A UAV flys through the desert over the Apple building into the center garden, it approaches Tim Cook standing on à lawn. He starts speaking in his mechanical ceo way. A lot more effects like this.
The watch
new processor with cores dedicated to ml. Monitoring your bio markers for finger traps and other gestures. It also processes voice commands so you don’t need to be tethered to the internet to figure out what your saying.
a fear based marketing, the presentation opens with shiny people who have been assisted by the watches bio monitoring. Heart attack, hypothermia, car accident, etc. Apple watch is always watching you.
18 hrs battery life, so you have to remove it to charge it everyday. So while your sleeping? But put it back on before you wake up so you can snooze by tapping your fingers together. Also if you’re likely to have a heart attack at night, wear the watch so it can wake you up.
