#Canada is having a general #election on April 28, so do vote: either at the poll stations on the day of, or during advanced voting. Or if you can't make it, register to vote by mail as early as possible.

We (some members of our household) will not be able to vote in person, so for the first time ever, we will vote by mail.

If like us you are out of town on election day and are unable to go to the polls, you can register to vote by mail here:

@silverwizard you were probably thinking of the Amdahl coffee mug?

@silverwizard
Bwahaha!

I remember being asked to migrate the Linux documentation for the Windows-centric MSP that had acquired a former employers.

I spent a fair amount of time making sure all was correct, well formatted and had plenty of examples.

It came back to me with the comment that there were no screenshots.

So you want terminal screenshots as documentation of command-based processes?

Of course I maliciously complied :D

@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

@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?
