FUBAR and The Delicate Art Of Parking! Though I haven't been able to find a copy of the latter.

Probably not. Most businesses moved their manufacturing to countries where local laws do not protect workers as well as Canada, that hasn't changed.

F. I thought it was tonight not last night and had a frantic "set up the telescope" a half hour before.

And we shouldn't waste our very limited health care treating a disease that was contracted due to an active and ignorant decision.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

would you deny cancer care for a smoker

It already happens. Friend of mine (Ontario) had to quit smoking and stay off before he could get treatment for his lungs. There was a women (also Ontario) who recently was denied liver treatment because she refused to quit drinking. Many surgeries are also be denied to overweight people until they get down to some target weight.

Climbing a tree, while not the safest activity, is a recreational risk that only harms youself. Refusing a vaccine that is meant to protect you and your community, because you did your research on Facebook, is a willfully ignorant act that poses a risk to you and MANY other people. People are too stupid to make their own decisions in regard to public health.

Care for an illness that for which a person refused (by choice, not for legitimate medical reason) the vaccine should not be covered by public healthcare.

This was taken at 6:32UTC in Burlington Ontario (I know, wrong /c/) so just a few min after the total eclipse began.

Your mom let me visit the clamzone last night. Tell her sorry about the curtains.

Heavy export fees on power would work more in our favour and prevent claims of military or terrorist action against the US.

But, yeah, there should be serious action that does not let up until there are signatures on a document that says the US will reverse all tariffs and will take no further economic action against Canada AND Mexico. This back and forth bullshit before getting results does nothing but hurt Canada and make our politicians look like the bottom dwelling invertebrate that they are.

Spoiler, it's nearly every time but pointing it out ruins the narrative that ALL guns are a problem.

Ford blew twice that to put beer in gas stations. Clearly we have the money to blow 🤡

Good. Canada is finally not just an economic appendage to the USA. Regardless of which party or president is running the show, Canadian politicians should remember how quickly they derailed us for their own gain.

Warning there are some tall-ass images in this post.

A few years ago I got mad enough at the temperature gradient in my town house that I designed and build a bunch of ESP8266 sensors to feed data into an RRD so that I could have some pretty graphs to be angry about as well. (As of this week I have also started logging stats from my UPS and server.) Using the minimum of HTML and CSS I threw those graphs, a map of the previous day's incoming network traffic, and some convenient links onto a homepage that I use on all of my devices. At a glance this tells me if the furnace/AC is working, if my server is having a fit for unknown reasons, and if the local power grid is playing it fast and loose with the voltage and frequency (which I suspect they do).

Clicking the temperature/humidity data leads to a long term data page covering 2 years of data in varying resolution. The gap last fall was when the garage sensor failed and I was waiting for Aliexpress.

There are also long term trends for the server load and UPS but they have only been logging for a few days so there is not much to look at.

Clicking the map on the home page leads to a text file containing a summary of all incoming traffic to apache and ssh. The ssh server is on a high port number and doesn't see much traffic but occasionally a persistent bot will find it.

Everything but my landing page (this animation in p5.js https://old.reddit.com/r/cellular_automata/comments/1djwjbu/waves_processingorg/ with the text "Hey this isn't where I parked my car" overlayed) is behind basic auth or better and I have push notifications set up for every ssh login (even my own), in 5 years I have never had a successful login from an attacker, this is not an invitation, have mercy.

All the data is gathered with python scripts and stored in RoundRobinDatabases or, in the case of network data, digested down into a CSV. The climate sensors respond to requests on port 80 with the temperature and humidity separated by a comma to allow for easy polling. The map is generated by looking up the IPs' information on Shodan then plotting the location data if it was present.

Absolutely none of this is the ideal solution, there are existing projects that cover literally every aspect plus a dozen extra features I could never hope to implement. I wrote as much as I could from scratch just to see if I could, it's more fun to drive a shitty car that you built than one you bought from the dealer.

Aaaand I accidentally made the UPS database only 24hrs instead of the 10years I had intended. Lucky for me rrdtool has a function to expand an rrd without wiping out the data!

 

Got lucky with a clear night.
