As the great Linus Torvald said:

It’s why I strongly want this to be that “just a tool”.

The problem I’ve seen is the lack of knowledge retention when AI feeds you stuff, buddy wouldn’t even bother to read nor memorize what it’s telling him and just copy-paste commands thinking it’ll fix whatever obscure issue he is encountering.

I’ve been using Debian for the last ~3ish years now relying on documentation from others so I’ve seen how fragile it can get.

Slightly off topic, buddy of mine decided to switch to Debian and A.i his way through everything, waiting for the day his system fails to boot because of some obscure command it tells him to run.

This comment here reminded me that I actually have cash in my wallet. Thank you!

i agree with this to some extent, the Restricted class of firearms is currently pointless, there are no restricted firearms on the market right now because they have all been prohibited.

I would argue and say they should fix the Restricted category before introducing another one or incorporate your idea into it.

I’m really starting to doubt Canada’s gun laws and their impact on gun elated crimes.

Regulations work, there is no doubt about that otherwise we would be looking a whole lot like the US right now.

I’m thinking maybe Canadians with guns might not be such a bad idea.

There are 2.3 Million of us! if you’re Canadian and never seen, heard, held or shot a firearm I highly suggest trying it once at a local firing range where you can be shown safe handling.

Something worth noting -

Since 2020 Ottawa has banned some 2,500 types of firearms. The government has argued the makes and models on its list are for warfare — not hunters and sport shooters.

If these are weapons of warfare then why aren’t we sending the CAF into battle with .22Lr semiautomatic rifles with magazines pinned to 10 rounds?

For those not familiar with the different types of firearm calibers see the image below, essentially a .22Lr is for plinking pop cans and teaching beginners on how firearms operate safely, no sane person will say a .22Lr is meant for warfare.

Anandasangaree maintained the pilot wasn’t about “quantitative” results.

Isn’t this the whole point of the program? To get “guns off our streets”?

Installed Dolphin on my work desktop which runs Win11, definitely not meant for Windows as certain functions like searching or dragging and dropping don’t work, at least it’s 1 step close to making windows slightly more bearable.

Apologies, I am going to assume this is a topic you’re not very well familiar with. This whole entire program is for Quebec, more specifically pushed by PolySeSouvient claiming all licensed firearm owners are the problem for the rise in gun related crime, not the firearms that are illegally sourced, yet 9 times out of 10 crime involving firearms involved illegal firearms.

Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Ontario (essentially) and the Yukon have all rejected the program knowing there is no public safety benefit.

The streets? They’re in people’s safes and gun cabinets until this situation is sorted. It’s been 5 years now, hundreds of thousands of legally purchased guns they intend to confiscate with little support from the provinces.

Yup, it works 90% of the time. Happens on all devices so I suspect Searx is just running into an error of some sort. Too lazy to investigate.

I host my own SearXNG via docker compose, reverse proxied it via Traefik, added a few security headers, restricted access to my country to help prevent abuse.

Use it daily, the only complaint I really have is it occasionally doesn’t search when you type in the address bar of a browser. What I mean is I’ll type a search query and instead of redirecting to the query (searx.yourdomain.tld/search?q=test) it’ll just redirect to the homepage of my SearXNG instance (searx.yourdomain.tld) forcing me to retype my query. Annoying but not the end of the world.

A company that handles pgp for you can be legally compelled to give up the keys.

Depends on the jurisdiction.

Chances are Colt Canada is involved given they’re the “secret” contractor/partner in the governments firearm “buyback” program.

Wouldn’t shock anyone if they worked up a defence deal at the same time.

Some specific drivers are a little fiddly if you have nvidia graphics

Nit-picking here but Nvidia drivers for Debian are ridiculously easy to install? Doc page

• Prerequisites

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security contrib non-free main non-free-firmware
sudo apt update

• Install the driver (Trixie)

sudo apt install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-driver

• Have an RTX capable GPU?

sudo apt install libnvoptix1

Edit: For an Nvidia Optimus Laptop just install envycontrol and set your Nvidia GPU as your primary GPU.

sudo envycontrol -s nvidia --force-comp --coolbits 24

Done, easy peasy.

You ”resurrect” at a spawn tower I guess would be the best way to put it.

Also not Linux dependent, I’m sure windows users spend hours tweaking their installs to how they want it.

I suppose you didn’t hear about the new EULA for Take-Two/2K/Rockstar games eh?

Long story short they have explicit permission to install a root kit on your system which is a popular type of malware. If the developers knowingly install a root kit on your system and someone who is savvy enough decides to abuse it, well… let’s just say the outcome isn’t pretty for the end-user.

I love BL1 & BL2 but this is justification to put those games to rest or run them offline or in LAN, having a back door to people’s systems on any online game will backfire.
