It's very reminiscent of when the Canadian Alliance and the progressive conservatives joined forces to make the CPC.

The whole thing has been a bit of a mess imo... The MLA in my region seems to know his audience though... They just sent me a newsletter talking about seniors resources and I'm not even old enough for a midlife crisis yet 😅

Plex, Jellyfin, Emby... They're all great options. Heck... CBC gem is a good option too

I had no idea that interac was Canadian. Learn something new every day

It's only chompagne if it comes from the chompagne region of Fronce

Which is interesting to say... If they did seperate, I highly doubt that they'd be keeping any of the existing healthcare infrastructure.

I don't think the US wants Albertans anyway. I think they just want what they're standing on.

Their peat moss imports primarily come from Canada. Some 80 - 90% from what I could find.

There are a few other suppliers that might be able to step up, but the USA seems to be feeling pretty independent these days... I'm not sure how that would go for them

We're trying to come closer in all those ways. The "don't buy US made products" has spread everywhere and I hear it's starting to make an impact.

I'm worried about our southern neighbours... I see the news and it feels like they might have a civil war on their hands.

I remember learning about manifest destiny when I was in school. Kinda made me distrusting of people south of the border. I would agree with the sentiment of "language matters" and that we need to really drive home our sovereignty into the US psyche.

Sharing a border with them might make this especially difficult. Even American culture has gotten to us North of the border... Thankfully it seems like a big part of our identity is just "we're not American" so when the nasty T word came around most people I knew were actively boycotting ( and still are) US made products. Here's hoping that if it comes down to a civil war, it's quick and painless...

I'm with OP on this one. I enjoy reading quality content, not just the act of reading. I think the idea is that by using an LLM to help sort through the drivel you have more time to do the reading of the quality content.

And really, I'm always suspicious of the why when an algorithm suggests me an article... Having something less tied directly to a companies bottom line might help me trust the content more.

Hahaha. I see you're being down arrowed a bit... But I was thinking the same thing.

Reason I was thinking nixos was because op was talking about " flipping switches" they couldn't flip back. Nixos has that sorted out.

Plus... It sounds like op isn't afraid of trying new and possibly difficult things on a new server they've acquired

The truth is that proxmox is likely the best option here. But nixos could be a fun ( type2 fun) challenge if they're into that kind of thing

To add to the idea of using tailscale. I've been using tsdproxy for a while now and it's outrageously easy to set up.

The reason I've gone this route is that I feel like it gives me a bit more control over who is in my network and what they can get to.

Each service gets a funny name address and I get to share that specific service with other people who also have tailscale. Then if they get on my nerves or something, I can stop sharing that specific service and they can figure it out on their own.
