I dunno, could just be someone having a laugh; doesn’t seem crazy for a bunch of numbers to be auto-suggested to create a unique username and then they added 420 at the end for fun. It’s relatively open gossip (and a bit of a leftist meme) that Nancy Pelosi has been insider trading for years.

That said, I guess it’s easy to astroturf these days. Just seems strange to waste $8 USD to verify a single user if you’re running a bot farm with tons of accounts. But maybe that’s what it takes to drive traffic to your posts now.

I mean, yeah, that’s literally the definition of anecdotal evidence. One happy couple doesn’t mean sweet fuck all.

It’s because whatever department store he went to didn’t have a shirt off the rack that fit both his neck and his belly.

I feel like the charges are important to note, especially given that the prosecutor wanted 25 years for this offence and that black Americans are handed very harsh sentences compared to white offenders.

It really does seem like black Americans and rappers are treated with a different set of standards and government data back me up on that.

https://www.ussc.gov/research/research-reports/mandatory-minimum-penalties-firearms-offenses-federal-system

Black offenders also generally received longer average sentences for firearms offenses carrying a mandatory minimum penalty than any other racial group. In fiscal year 2016, Black offenders convicted under section 924© received an average sentence of 165 months, compared to 140 months for White offenders and 130 months for Hispanic offenders. Only Other Race offenders received longer average sentences (170 months), but they accounted for only 2.2 percent of section 924© offenders.

Not really, this is basically punishing him for the thoughtcrime of talking about using guns.

They also ordered him to do 400 hours of community service, I guess for the “trouble” of having a hearing. If his songs are too spicy, they can revoke his right to supervised release (AKA send him back to prison).

How many times have you heard of a situation where there’s a man threatening to kill his girlfriend and the cops do nothing? Let the man write his lyrics, he was put in prison for illegal gun possession resulting from a traffic stop - he didn’t fucking kill anyone.

Is Regina at least better to live in? London is the armpit of Ontario. I hated it there, lol. But there is an excellent shawarma place near the college (Hadi’s).

Edit: Just found out Hadi’s is closed and there’s a new shawarma place there now. :( Hope Hadi is doing well.

Yeah, I was hoping my comment might prompt someone from Saskatchewan to chime in with their experience, but that didn’t happen. :b

Yeah, I could never get NPM to work right on my system either. I use the NGINX Docker image and set up my certs manually.

If I were to do it all over again today, I would probably go with Caddy since it now has a bunch of that stuff built in with automatic HTTPS by default and the basic reverse proxy setup is literally 2 lines of code.

You could try Logseq, it’s like Obsidian but open source. I use Obsidian for most notes and I also have a personal wiki built with Otterwiki.

I use NGINX for my reverse proxy, you could check out NGINX Proxy Manager which uses Certbot to automate the SSL certificates.

I’ve heard a lot of people also like Caddy and Traefik. Can’t remember which is easier to use, maybe Caddy.

It’s mostly my wife that buys fruity herbal teas and stuff, but my favourite tea is Twinnings Vanilla Earl Grey. Very rich and fragrant.

I’m basic though. I don’t even know the difference between different types of tea, like black, white, green, etc. I usually just go by smell.

I liked the Palia beta and the Chinese New Year event. The world seems a bit dead sometimes though, and the quests can be boring. I haven’t played in a while, I lost interest. I’ll have to revisit it sometime.

I started working at 14 (in Ontario). For my first job:

• No, there is a “student wage” that is less than minimum wage
• EI yes, CPP no
• No
• Only if there are promotions available at the part-time level (my “promotion” increased my pay by $0.50)

After 2 years of working there, I got a $0.05 raise. Yes, 5 cents. The biggest increase in my pay came when the minimum wage was increased in Ontario, which also increased the student wage.

If it’s occupied when you really need to go, decency goes out the window. Doesn’t matter who you are.

Earl Grey Pie, it’s really easy if you use frozen pie crusts.

Okay, then you don’t care. That’s fine. There’s no mass hacking of phones going on, that’s not the risk and whoever told you that it was is stupid.

It’s an individualized problem, which is why it doesn’t make the news and why you’re on your own when companies fail to keep your device up to date. It’s not as sensational as a massive fire so it’s hard to care about.

Anyway, hopefully you’ll never have to worry about being hacked. The odds are in your favour, after all. The issue is when you get unlucky.

If you want documented evidence that there is a nefarious cadre of organizations hacking phones en masse using high-profile exploits before you’ll believe that out of date phones are something to give a shit about, then you’ll never be “presented with an actual case.”

What you’re describing isn’t the reason why we should care about security. If you don’t care, whatever, but planning for bad things that could happen is just basic preparedness even outside of computing. If a fire started in my apartment and I didn’t have a fire extinguisher I’d be fucked regardless of how likely I think a fire would be.

I don’t really care enough to spend a lot of time searching, but I found this opinion article breaking down a severe Apple iOS vulnerability from 2019: https://www.tomsguide.com/opinion/your-iphone-is-less-safe-than-it-was-yesterday-and-thats-good

If a device isn’t getting security updates anymore, it’s vulnerable. And a lot of the time these things aren’t caught right away. This is the exact same reason why you should never put a computer running Windows XP or 7 on the internet - it’s no longer secure and your system can be accessed by any person motivated to do so.

If you don’t care, that’s another matter. But you’re inarguably at a higher level of risk when your system can be exploited in a greater number of ways than one with more recent security patches.

It’s a vulnerability that is actively able to be exploited on any compatible system that isn’t explicitly protecting against it (i.e., any outdated phone connected to the internet).

So a very big fucking deal in general, even if your specific phone may not be targeted. Your only defense is hoping that you’re not unlucky, which is a really shitty approach to security.
