For anyone interested, this video give a good overview of some of the issues.

Hopefully this spurs more rail in the rest of the country.

I was just watching city talk yesterday about Switzerland’s rail network and how interconnect it is.

What shocked me the most was this overlay of Switzerland over Quebec and how inexistent rail is Canada.

Worth a watch for anyone interested:

Map of the rail network not including buses or light rail, meanwhile we in Canada are debating if high-speed rail should exist between Quebec and Montreal.

My recommendation, look for smart locks that work locally with no need for online connectivity. Also choose something that does not replace the deadbolt but only replaces the latch on the inside of the house.

This means if you need to change deadbolts you can always replace it without getting a whole new smartlock, and if the smart lock fails you can always open the lock with a regular key.

As for local control, loom for something that works on ZigBee, matter, or zwave and something that you can potentially hardwire, batteries can sometimes last six months on some smart locks but it was a hassle for me, and rechargable batteries only last about 2-3 months.

As for me I choose the August Smart Lock Pro, 3rd Gen with Z-Wave, Silver (AUG-SL03-M03-S03).

I chose this as it had z-wave and is able to connect with homeassistant without the need for online connectivity. One item to note, this locks zwave function is reported to drop by many users, I personally have had no issues, but I run everything through HomeAssistant.

There is also integrated bluetooth which can resolve those issues with bluetooth relays noted on some places online.

As for hardwiring these locks, if they use batteries you can use something called "battery eliminators” which are basically power supplies connected to an equivalent number of dummy batteries, so in this case a 6V supply and 4 AA batteries, one of which connects to the supply. Just make sure to get your voltage correct, you can use a voltage regulator to do this.

The lake was never renamed, at least on the Canadian side.

No worries, not sure how I misunderstood the question, but hopefully it helps someone else out who’s getting into self-hosting.

When you host something on LAN only you are not exposing the service to the wider internet directly.

This means someone would need access to your LAN or local area network first (such as your WiFi password) before being able to reach said service.

Now when you expose something directly to the internet, in a way that for example it displays a publicly accessible webpage, it makes it easier for anyone to reach that webpage, and potentially figure out your login and password information through brute force. Or some other type of exploit that allows full bypass of the login credentials.

Some self-hoster’s choose to keep their “more sensitive” services on the LAN only, and then use a VPN (that’s hosted privately) to access their LAN remotely from anywhere in the world.

With a VPN hosted on your LAN it provides a good layer of security as someone would first need to have access to your VPN to then potentially try and get access into your services.

Only the healthcare?

The answer is yes, saved you a click

Honestly this dudes got to go

Even without the tariff I certainly won’t buy it, hell they can even mark it 50% off.

Honestly I never understood why the product was removed/put in storage in the first place?

Would it not have been substantially cheaper for businesses not to purchase any more stock instead?

People then could have choosen not to buy what’s left on the shelfs. And governments would not have to pay storage fees using taxpayer funds.

Glad I could help!

Correct. Your manual added torrents only.

But to be clear your downloads folder should ideally have subdirectories in it, or at least that’s what I have.

*Completed Downloads", with subdirectories for movies, series, audio, books, blackhole_movies, blackhole_series, and any other category you have.

In your download client you then make sure to set it up that all downloads get a category that then dumps the completed download into the corresponding folder.

So when a movie gets added by radarr its assigned a category of movies in your download client, and when it finishes downloading it goes to the completed/movies folder. And similar if a series gets added by sonarr a category of series gets assigned and moved to the completed/series folder.

Any torrent you add manually you would then assign either blackhole movies or series and your download client would then move it to that completed folder. Radarr would then see new files appear and try and import them as it regularly will now scan that blackhole folder.

What you are looking for is under Settings > Download Clients > Torrent Blackhole

This helps create a “blackhole” folder that is now monitored for any completed files. Radar or Sonarr will then try and import these files if the naming matches anything in your library that’s missing.

So in theory you can manually add torrents to your client which you can categorize in such a way that they move to this blackhole folder on completion.

Obviously the folder or category can be called anything, but I just call them blackhole_movies, blackhole_series.

I can take some of those off your hands arrh

I have been saying the same thing about these four wheeled death contraptions.

You have people that have no place or understanding in how to operate a motor vehicle safely, or should have stopped operating said motor vehicles ages ago for one reason or a other.

How is it that everyone in Canada does not already have access to clean and safe drinking water? And im not talking about buying single use waterbottles.

A Android TV box (preferably degoogled), Kodi installed with plugins.

And maybe a VPN just in case.

I guess the sea it is… arrr
