@silverwizard

Ya, it will pull the latest binary from rclone.org repo and overwrite the existing one

You may want to back up the original binary file beforehand

@silverwizard will the installed rclone binary self update?

@silverwizard

Have you tried with rclone?

@evan I am "a citizen of my country who lives abroad". I do vote in national, legislative and European elections (Euro election is next week, I'll drive to the polling station set up by the consulate in Toronto)

I am also a Canadian citizen, and I exercise my voting duty here too

@silverwizard
That's what I thought, but my kids seem to disagree, stating that while it does come from charisma, you don't use it in the same way

Unless they're pulling my leg

So... Basically a modern version of the Mechanical Turk, except it is 1000 Indians

@dolfsquare haha, c'est la première fois de ma vie que je vois l'expression "bite de sang". J'ai du faire une recherche pour trouver que c'est par opposition à "bite de chair" et que c'est l'équivalent de l'anglais grower vs. shower

Enfin bon, y'en a qui n'ont rien d'autre à débattre sur FB.

Ça sent la grosse insécurité.

Web sites that split the login process by making users enter their username and password separately in two different pages…

WHY?

This breaks both my human brain's workflow (username, tab, password, enter), and that of my password manager

I will block Threads, but it may not amount to much

When Threads starts to Meta-stasise the Fediverse, I'll pack my things and go

I'd rather find myself in a barren desert than in an ever growing field of cancerous tumours

@silverwizard on a slightly different topic (or a tangent if you prefer), but still very Canadian: today a customer created new servers for their in-house ERP. Customer is in the business of rubber hose manufacturing.

They called their servers HosERP and HosERP-DEV

All I can see is "Hoser Herp Derp".

@silverwizard eh

When two Franco-Ontarians meet…

They speak entirely in English because they have no idea the other one can speak French

This is what happened today when the tech came in to fix the furnace

He realised upon leaving, when he heard me say something in French to Mrs. Kicou

@silverwizard
Lead?

(don't listen to me)

@machei the famous suicide bike lanes of the Northfield overpass

@silverwizard that's a good site to bookmark in order to pass some free wifi captive portals that insist on hitting an http site to validate your connection

@silverwizard you'll love it when your kids receive a Chromebook and do everything in Google Classroom

(oh, and the phone app wants admin rights on your device)

@silverwizard this is how I remember them too, which may be part of the problem!
