    I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba where it is quite cold for a big majority of the year. I have dabbled with supplements because I get a couple of major colds every year. I've heard thi…

    That's what I thought too when they touted this meteoric rise to 100M in the early days of Threads. If it's tied to Instagram, and these users aren't using Instagram while they're …

    mpv is a key part of my home theatre automation I wrote in PHP. It runs on a Pi 4. PHP assembles playlists with a Dolby ad, a vintage dancing hot dog ad, trailers, and the feature.…

    Not sure why I got downvoted— for context to non-Canadians, a core policy of the Conservatives is to defund the CBC.

    I mean, they'll probably shut down if Pierre Poilievre assumes power, though.

    I really enjoyed Flexbox Froggy and felt like it helped me a lot better than Grid Garden. Maybe my brain just isn't a grid-oriented brain— CSS Grid never seems to stick.

    I'm getting a 502 error with a robot graphic. EDIT: It's up for my partner beside me, and it's up for my mom in Calgary, but still down for me.

    Thank you for this— I was equally frustrated I couldn't look up Canada too!

    Can't send any messages on Messenger on my phone, but facebook.com appears to be working fine.

    Hi, I wanted to share my MVP for Screenploy, a cloud-based editor for generating two-column audio/video scripts. You can format all of the text in your shots, organize them in scen…

    That's fair. I learnt my lesson and have a shock-absorbing case now.

    Yeah, I'm not holding out much hope, but I'm an AIO guy and I have zero interest in putting a tall Mac Mini on my desk. I ended up adding a 32" TV as a second monitor and it's good…

    No, sorry, I meant it was so fragile, it no longer exists— I bumped it off my coffee table and the screen shattered (fell 18" to a hardwood floor). I balked at spending over $700 t…

    I had a 13" M1 MacBook Air. It was an OK machine to move to from my 2012 MacBook Air, but the thing was super fragile. Let's just say it's been retired while my 2012 is still going…

    I hesitate to post this here because I probably can't handle a rush of traffic if it gets attention, but I've been working on this at prezince.com. Just launched an MVP on February…

    I'm a small user— only about 250,000 objects in storage and a lot of those cold storage behind Cloudflare, but I've been using SeaweedFS for years. I think since v0.7— I was always…

    I only have a half dozen web servers, but I used CentOS for everything so I'm sad it's the end of the line. That being said, I've recently completed moving entirely over to Debian …

    My partner and I decided to buy a Wii together for our first Christmas in 2009. We had a lot of fun playing online with our friends and strangers until the services went offline. I…

    We've had these in Winnipeg for as long as I can remember, but this is Canada where 5-pin is king. I first saw them in the late 90's at Uptown Alley which was located on two levels…
