Ah very nice, good to hear they addressed that. It was the only real deciding factor last time I moved my mail around ~2 yrs ago

Fastmail. It’s been around forever and it just works. And they don’t do anything weird with SMTP/IMAP.
mailbox dot org is also pretty good, but I wasn’t a fan of their 2FA implementation.
Same, I miss my 03 Camry. That thing was a beast. Took hard hits from some wildlife, got backed into, had branches fall on it, and still made it to 300K km and never once broke down. It was so rusty my mechanic told me to get rid of it before it broke in half. When I donated it to the kidney foundation, it drove up into the tow truck under its own power.
Sadly, Toyota doesn’t have the sauce anymore. We looked at new Corollas and they felt way creakier than the “golden age” ones. Plus their CEO is a maga chud now :(

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Quebec Politician Sam Hamad : My top priority is getting rid of the $60 transit tax that drivers are required to pay. It's very simple. I get elected. You get $60 in your pockets English

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Plug-in hybrids pollute almost as much as petrol cars, report finds - Analysis of 800,000 European cars found real-world pollution from plug-in hybrids nearly five times greater than lab testsEnglish
22·2 months agoHybrids use regenerative braking for the majority of their deceleration. There are Priuses (Priui?) with 200K+ kilometres on original brakes. The dust that brake pads shed is fairly harmful, so it’s nice that they produce less.
My cat’s got the cone of shame because he kept blowing up his CVT’s.
OM-5 of Panasonic G100 would probably be great for what you need. Can also get used/older micro 3/4 gear for pretty cheap as the other commenter said.
I like to walk around with my GX-85 (sadly discontinued now) and a 14-150 zoom, it’s a very good combo. 12-100 is better, but more $. Even the kit 12-32 is a surprisingly good lens.
I run iptables on Debian, on a cheap aliexpress minipc with dual NICs. Been using more or less the same config for about five years. It’s simple, boring, and works great.

Canada•City of Hamilton orders resident to take down 10 security cameras from his homeEnglish
47·4 months agoLaws like this are enforced selectively, by design. If they were serious about privacy, they’d be issuing citations to everybody with a ring doorbell. Not just because the videos always face public areas, but because the recordings are stored insecurely on US datacentres.
I agree that we should be doing something to retaliate against the US regime, but to be honest they’re doing a fine enough job of that themselves. Best thing we can do is pivot our exports to Europe & Asia, become a new leader to developing nations and emerging markets, and stop being vassal for US foreign policy. That’s what really hurts them, not import taxes.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•What's your thoughts on this?English165·4 months agoA wireless router consumes single digit watts of power. A tablet or mobile phone consumes 1/10 or less of that. Making a slice of toast and a cup of tea uses more power than both of those devices all day combined. This is another silly attempt to shift blame from corporations and billionaires down to consumers and everyday people. Don’t buy it.

Canada•Path cleared for Canada to take part in Trump’s 'Golden Dome' missile shieldEnglish
27·5 months agoIt’s kind of pointless. Reagan blew billions in this crap in the 80s and the laws of physics haven’t changed since then. The kinds of missiles that can reach North America from overseas simply can’t be reliably intercepted using terminal stage defences.
It’s not hard to take out drones, cruise missiles, short range rockets etc. Those are going Mach 1 or less. Hypersonic glide missiles hit Mach 5. ICBMs come down at Mach 25.
It’s the difference between hitting a home run and shooting down a bullet with another bullet while blindfolded.
We’d be way better off spending our time and money on diplomacy and peace so that nobody feels the need to nuke us. There’s no winning in that situation.
Certain things are fairly easy to detect like wheel imbalance vibration or a bad muffler sounds. but there’s so many “vibes plus experience” things that I don’t think software will catch. The human brain is exceptionally good at picking signal out of noise, and “feeling” a bad set of tires or an old timer being able to “hear” how healthy your motor is, aren’t really things you can teach an algorithm.
I’m sure somebody will try to predict failures, but it might not go well. Surely it will be used to gouge consumers, and of course the owners of self-driving cars won’t know any better.
One more reason to never go there again. Lots of countries that actually want visitors out there.

2·7 months agoThese are amazing. I regularly use mine to shut off the “CP24” channel (news +ads +weather +ads +traffic +more ads, in the Toronto area) anywhere I go. I think nobody actually likes that shit but we all tolerate it because we think other people do.

The electric vehicles we should be subsidizing are trolley busses and trams. Or, if we want Future Technology Self Driving Hype we can invest in the original electric self driving vehicle, the electric metro train with ATC. Not some dentist-ass Lexus that’s still going to sit in traffic and make life miserable for everybody else.











That would work perfectly if he listened to music consisting of a single tone of different volumes…
Only way that could make any sense would be if he was trying to make sure the speakers were in phase. If you’ve ever had one wired backwards there’s an exact spot where you can get them to cancel out, it feels bizarre. But you don’t need to adjust the cones, just wire things the right way lol.
