I always sing this when I'm snacking on cheese at night.
To my knowledge it's not supposed to differ.
If you trust that the client (which is open source) is doing what it's supposed to do, security-wise I don't think there's a difference between self-hosting and using Bitwarden's service.
No, you don't need to trust the VPS provider. The VaultaWarden password storage is encrypted, and the master password is never transmitted to the server. The passwords are decrypted only locally on your device.
Esterházy-torta, looks great!
My family of three finished this cake in less than four days
I could finish it by myself in less than one day.
What if you're married to a women's shoe salesman?
I read it in my head in his voice.
For files I just use WebDAV that's built in to Apache. It's really not fancy, but does all I need.
This might be a good compromise: https://www.fairvote.ca/rural-urban-proportional/
Here in downtown Toronto, ridings are tiny (in terms of area) and the borders are pretty arbitrary, with people on the same street sometimes represented by different MPs and MPPs. It's honestly a bit ridiculous, myself and two friends who live within a couple of minutes walk have two MPPs and three MPs! (Federal and provincial borders are different this year) I'd really be much happier if the whole city becomes one multi-member riding. With Rural-Urban Proportional, rural areas keep local representation kinda like now (FPTP) but get the benefits of proportionality from the regional top-up. I think it's a reasonable, if not perfect.
It's a pretty interesting video actually.
I use RoundCube, I think it's one of the oldest solutions out there, and is pretty good (and not ugly as of a few years ago).
My thoughts exactly 😂
Canadians not so nice after all 😜 (I also think it was added in post though)
I know what you're getting at 😆
Decilitre is actually the common unit for drinks in Hungary (and possibly in other countries). Hungarians also use dekagramm, which is 10 grams. But the cool thing about metric is that to convert, you just move the decimal around!
The French actually tried it, here's the Wikipedia article.
A more reasonable thing to do is something like Swatch Internet Time, you get 1000 ".beats" in a day with no time zones. Beyond a day it might not be too helpful to keep decimal, there will be 365+fraction days a year no matter how you measure it.
Time to double down on the metric system
In the spirit of rapprochement with Europe and reorientation away from the United States, it's time to complete the Metrication process in Canada that was stopped prematurely by the Mulroney government.
I had the opposite problem, I brought a soldering iron from Europe to Canada, and despite using a step up transformer, it just couldn't get hot enough to melt the solder!
22 Minutes
Looks good! Bookmarked for future reference.
I wouldn't say pale in comparison. Enterprise was really good in my opinion. Lower Decks and Prodigy too, these are a bit different, but have the same spirit I think.
I also rewatch The Original Series episodes every once in a while. The show as a whole is not really good by modern standards, but it has gems and it's interesting to see where it all began.
Every show except Discovery has a balance of great episodes, filler episodes, and bad episodes. Discovery was bad from A to Z.
Split voting and spoiler candidates in Ontario 2025
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/39866020
In these 32 ridings the PC candidate won thanks to vote splitting. Results are as of this morning and may have changed slightly.
Thanks to all spoiler candidates listed below /s
26 spoiler candidates are New Democrats, 11 are Green, and 5 are Liberal. Only one NDP candidate, Natasha Doyle-Merrick, had the decency to step down in Eglinton-Lawrence, but that election was still spoiled by Green candidate Leah Tysoe 😡
First past the post 👎👎👎
York South-Weston: election spoiled by Faisal Hassan (NDP); Daniel Di Giorgio (Liberal) would have won by 7957 votes (25%)
Hamilton Mountain: election spoiled by Kojo Damptey (NDP); Dawn Danko (Liberal) would have won by 8021 votes (21%)
Peterborough-Kawartha: election spoiled by Jen Deck (NDP); Adam Hopkins (Liberal) would have won by 7232 votes (13%)
Sault Ste. Marie: election spoiled by Gurwinder Dusanjh (Liberal); Lisa Vezeau-Al
Tunnels under University Avenue?
There are apparently underground passages connecting the hospitals on University Avenue and all the way to Queen's Park TTC station. I couldn't find a map or even many references to its existence. This Instagram post is the most I could find, but it's unclear if it's open to the public, or how to get there.
Anybody here has experience with it?
Olivia Chow has a model starship in her office. It’s the USS Toronto, a Parliament-class vessel slightly bigger than her hand. An accompanying plaque features a quote from her husband, Jack Layton, who died in 2011. “Always have a dream that will outlast your lifetime,” it reads. Layton, the former ...
TIL that Inuvik, NWT is the largest town in Canada whose antipodal point lies within Antarctica
Inuvik, NWT, with a 2021 census population of 3,137 is the fifth largest settlement in Northern Canada (north of the 60th parallel). At "only" 68°22′ north, it doesn't even quite make it to Wikipedia's list of northernmost settlements. But that is the most populated town in Canada whose antipodal point lies within the continent of Antarctica. The antipodal point is the point you would get to if you could drill directly down through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side (also, it is the most distant point on the surface of the Earth, which is always approx. 20,000 km from the original point). Yellowknife and Iqaluit, the capitals of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, respectively, have antipodal points that lie at sea close to the Antarctic mainland, within a few hundred kilometres from shore.
I found that interesting because while Inuvik is certainly cold most of the time, it's still surrounded by a lu
Floor-to-ceiling vertical blinds
I'd like to hang vertical blinds on my floor-to-ceiling windows (272 cm in height). Ceiling is concrete and has a rail already mounted.
The off the shelf solutions I see have mounts that are fixed to a wall, not to the ceiling.
Question about interest calculation (mortgage)
I don't seem to understand something regarding how interest is paid on a mortgage. Say the loan is for $100,000 at a 5% rate for 10 years, paid monthly.
I would think that on the first month, the interest I have to pay $100,000 × (0.05 ÷ 12) = $416.67. However the mortgage calculator says that the first payment is actually $412.39. While it's not a huge difference, it's a difference nonetheless and I can't really figure out where it comes from.
My intuition is that it's somehow related to the fact that interest is compounded daily, but when I take r = 0.05 ÷ 365 and N = 365 × 10 payments (keeping leap years in mind for later), and calculate the first 30 days, I get $409.70, and the first 31 days give $423.32. I guess that the "actual" number is some kind of weighted average since the calculator doesn't ask at which month your loan starts.
So where is this $412.39 coming from? In reality when paying a mortgage, do
Shatner's "do over" of the Veridian III death scene on Kimmel
I recommend watching the whole interview, it's hilarious.
Anybody at CppNorth this week?
Pretty interesting talks, especially focusing on safety.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Toronto episode
The picture is from very early in the episode, I'm trying not to spoil it to anybody. The new Star Trek show "Strange New Worlds" just released an episode that mostly takes place in present-day (more-or-less) Toronto, with familiar city sites in almost every scene. It's a pretty good episode for Kurtzman-era Trek, although it's hard to concentrate on the plot as Torontonians.
