Those folks were there to make a statement and have the best party since before covid.

Same thing happening for servers, gaming PC's, cell phones, so on.

Does not mean "easy". It means they can be overcome.

This is about more than just money though.

Politically the west is underrepresented and the cultural difference between the West and the rest of Canada is very significant - unless you ask folks from Ontario who have never been to AB. In my opinion, Canada is too geographically and culturally diverse for a central government to have so much power.

(Cue the "AB is nothing", "AB has no culture", folks that don't have a clue what they are talking about).

For currency, The Maldives, with a relatively small population and tiny GDP has their own currency. What is the difficulty in currency? Ignoring the fact that AB would probably just use the greenback.

All of these of these issues are surmountable.

Oil & gas fields, and wells, are distributed over much of Alberta.

The rate at which they were spidering and scraping was so far beyond what any other supposedly legit spider was doing, it seemed like the logical explanation.

I can put in a few Noctua fans and be confident they are going to last 5+ years of running 24x7. Or I can put in 25% cheaper fans and be pretty much guaranteed one or more is going to fail within the first couple years.

In my opinion, fans are never a place to cheap out when building a PC - server or desktop, whatever.

I'm a patient person, but it can be frustrating to have to endure 10 minutes of verbal diarrhea that eventually results in a "no" or "I don't know".

You'd get a real kick out some of the protests in Canada then.

The corporation has no feelings and I don't imagine the board members or shareholders are feeling bad about this.

I've lived in these families and communities on both sides. I clearly said it was anecdotal.

I think you missed the whole point of my comment.

1) In the poor countries, I find people are generally quite happy living their day to day lives but rate their happiness low - because they think people in wealthy countries have it so much better. I.e. they underrate their happiness because they think wealthy people must be so much happier.

2) Vice versa in the wealthier countries - so many miserable people, but, they feel that they can't complain because they see how bad things are in the poor countries.

I think these "happiness ratings" are a bunch of bullshit. Some of the happiest families and communities I've seen are in the poor countries while so many people are miserable and lonely in the wealthy countries.

I believe it is very very hard for a person to subjectively rate their own happiness. (Edit to add, especially when they are comparing their own happiness against cultures and people they have mostly only seen on TV).

> traceroute tracks the route packets taken from an IP network on their way to a given host. It utilizes the IP protocol's time to live (TTL) field and attempts to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to the host.

Obscurity is totally underrated. Attacker resources are limited.

I will not be buying any more SBC's at this price point. I wonder if Raspberry PI will survive.
