I come to accept that it will very likely be Chinese made. No point for me to stress for months not buying one.

This is useful information though. Thanks! I often don’t mind buying directly from companies if I can, for example directly from a Chinese company – I guess Aliexpress might have something to compare price and service.

I love Nextcloud, but I have everything running in containers, and I have them auto updating on system boot.

Its a super powerful software. Its on my top list of self hosting software. But it breaks so often with auto updates. And there is the potential of having to reinstall it because of a broken install, and your personal service being down for weeks.

Borg backups work, but they are not intuitive to setup when using containers.

Auto setting up trusted domains is not intuitive.

My solution going forward, is to have secondary containers which I don’t update as frequently, that point to the same user files folder on the primary containers. Kind of like having my services load balanced. I plan on doing this for some of my other containers that are frequently down.

In my experience, services that require more than 1 container are the ones that crash the most. Especially when they connect to a database container.

I’m not looking for a VPS/VM. Just bucket storage for my local client to connect to its API.

Good to know that’s possible though!

These are apps to storing? I’m just looking for client software not server.

China, facing an air pollution 4 times higher than Canada

China’s government started to censor air quality data in the 2010s

Stop wasting everyone’s time.

If what you say is correct, China is doing something majorly correct around air pollution if they only produce 4 times the same. Even if their per-capita pollution was the same as ours, things would so much worse right now.

Wtf Scotty, this is a serious issue. Quit fucking around.

I learned Equifruit, the fair trade banana company you see at Costco and Sobeys, is Canadian owned

Haha. It might be worth looking to see what’s playing at your local venues, and see where they bring you if you simulate buying a ticket.

Boycott them, even it means resorting to smaller venues. You will likely save money and not feel guilty giving these guys any money.

For stuff that I cannot avoid, I have been doing a good job patiently waiting to buy them second hand. Plus it’s cheaper and better on the environment.

You mean like if it’s a product of Mexico or Morroco, but the company is still USA owned?

I like to just burn one wick at a time to save the candles life

Looks good — but uses GoDaddy domain

Interesting, I’ve never heard those points before. They’re both super fast for me, and give me really good results.

I was using DDG for many years, but the results were often super bad and I hadn’t noticed until I started using Google search again. Then I started using Ecosia and Qwant, and the results have been sometimes better and sometimes worse than Google – mainly only worse whenever I need Google Maps for its various features around businesses that OpenStreetMap is missing.

I’m preaching to the choir here, but for those who don’t know

Both of the above are currently in partnership as well.

Maybe I overreacted. I do see it as being optional. Thanks for commenting guys.

Worked! Thank you :)

Although Navidrome, if going legally, I’ve only found Bandcamp Fridays practical for buying music so far: https://isitbandcampfriday.com/
