  • While your boss may feel safe crossing the boarder you can tell your boss you do not feel safe crossing the boarder, your safety comes first. Under the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and the Labour Board of Canada (I am almost certain I am getting that agency’s name wrong) an employer cannot ask you to do something that you do not feel safe doing when there is risk to your life and safety. It may not statistically hurt you, but there is a non-0% chance that you will not be locked up in jail in the US or disappeared to Al Salvador.

    Yes there is a non-0% chance of that you just get picked up and arrested for some BS thing in Canada, but there has yet to be a case of a person disappeared in the past couple of years by the government.

    If you are being asked to leave the country for work I am guessing you have some seniority in your company, but you have not even left the province for the past 15 years leads me to believe that those with more seniority have all turned down the opportunity to gamble with a free trip to Al Salvador.

    If you do go to the US for work remember to always have your passport on you.

  • Pi-Hole

  • When the pi was setup it was using Quad9’s 9.9.9.9 as I did not know that there was a Canadian version 9.9.9.10, there could be apps that try to get past pihole by going to the pi’s original DNS resolve address so I changed that, and I updated unbound to get the information from CIRA first and then quad9 Canada second.

  • Pi-Hole

  • Being non profit in Canada does mean stuff about their income, Quad9 Canada is a US nonprofit so they are not into looking to sell your data but they are from the US. I do not like my data being seen by others as that is why CIRA is third in the list and Quad9 is forth in the list.

    Pi-Hole

    Once upon a time there was discussion about the DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and how we need to move to a Canadian one. The one passed around was 149.112.121.30, CIRA (protected).

    I had said something about going a step further and just using your own via Pi-Hole and Unbound. Someone I do not remember who as that is why I am posting here said yes but the pi still has the DNS server you set it up with, they said they would look into it further at a later date If they did look into it and post something I am truly sorry as I cannot find it.

    I have gotten into using less US internet things and I recently got to find out that I needed to figure out my VPN setup a little better. This lead me into a deep valley of infosec and I am trying my darndest to strip things away. Anywho I was looking into something and there was mention of apps possibly falling back to system DNS so I found /etc/resolv.conf where I changed my DNS system on my 3 currently operational pi’s to access DNS like th

  • I have moved all of my things off of US cloud things, minus my iPhone and iPad backups off of US servers only because I cannot easily move those backup settings. It would be moved if my phone’s usb port was working correctly but I think I broke it, and I have just not got around to moving my iPad onto my home server yet.

    I have unsubscribed from all of my other web services and have setup my home vpn to use pihole and ufw.

  • I use wireguard now, I decided to cut my subscription to a VPN for when I left my LAN. I tried setting up tailscale but had difficulties getting it to work with my homelab. I am thinking of spreading my homelab across to homes for cloud back up as I have also started using nextcloud rather than any third party clouds.

  • Fair point however I will counter with: do not be talking up Canada to a Canadian tourist, ask for a 20 and get grumpy when they pull out the head of the commonwealth rather then some dead white guy.

  • In the mid 2000’s I was down in Mexico I had my flag on something, I was talking to a person selling hats on the street. We got chatting and he says he would give me a hat for $20 because I am Canadian, when I pulled out a piece of paper with the queen on it the saler said no no $20 US. When I heard that I put the queen away and went to another person selling hats.

    I am guessing the person was used to US people putting on our flag to make them look good.

  • The fact that they chose Loblaws to run this study is tone deaf, the fact that they used Tim Hortons as an example is tone deaf!

    I personally have been saving money buying Canadian products, not that I have lots of money to spare but I can say, if it is not in season I just do not need to buy it.

  • I have 5 bins 1 in my front porch (I have a front and back that opens up to the world) 3 are used for compost 2 are used for planting things then I have a couple flower baskets a hanger thing and a few other pots. The bins I have are probably around 100L I do a lot of gardening, or at least I try my garlic and onions did not come up last season. My potatoes are always small, I can get lots of tomatoes hanging (they are little ones like tiny Tim’s) my lettuce is great, and my peas are beautiful, the few times I have done carrots they have not been that big but yummy. I am trying to think of what else I have grown but there has been a few things over the years.

    Getting Money Back

    So someone on here suggested calling Amazon and closing your prime account and getting your whole year back, $109 for me. So I got curious what other services have I just cancelled but maybe I could get money back, turns out if you call Disney+ they will cancel and refund your account I paid through Apple so they will have to do their thing first but hopefully I will get refunded for that. I saw that I was also paying for Trilogy+ but I have cancelled that and have asked Apple to refund that.

    Then I thought about what other services have I forgotten about, or are just set to not renew. I had transferred my domain to hosthero so that I could get a .ca address so I thought maybe I should check out wordpress, it has been cancelled but after getting past the dumb artificial intelligence I got a full refund!

    I just did a thing

    I just went on a big letter writing campaign to get politicians and the media to stop using X, I also made complaints with a few agencies to get the use of X by elected officials investigated by a few agencies. Hopefully with any luck we can see some change coming soon.

    If you would like to put pressure on the elected officials I strongly encourage you do it; a few tips try your hardest to keep it to one page or less, address it, attach a pdf to the email saying what you said, and send it to all the elected officials. I have all the MP and Senator emails, and all the Saskatchewan emails if you need them.

    I finnally deleted my Amazon account and email!

    Amazon is officially dead to me, I had uninstalled all the apps a little while ago and deleted my email address today. It however hit me that I had not signed out of the webpage, so instead of just signing out I deleted my account and wow did it feel good saying I have issues with amazon when deleting the account and being signed out.

    I am transferring all my email address

    I am transferring all of my email address; a few years back it took me months to figure out what was all going to my gmail account that was used signing up for stuff even though there was some web app I used, I was going to move away from the Google as much as possible, minus search and YouTube. Several months ago I moved away from Google search, and was stuck with YouTube as there is no real competition to it, that my favourite channels use, so I am stuck with it.

    So iCloud’s hide my email was the replacement for Gmail, it was a lot easier to cancel junk mail by being able to just turn off email addresses that started spamming me. Come now to the buy Canadian stuff I am turning off all my hide my email addresses and moving some to proton pass, most of the emails so far I can just delete but many I have to go to the webpage and change the address. It is hard work and I have given myself a deadline of the end of the month when my iCloud subscription is done and dusted. Only 152 email
