Which distro do you use?

Do you typically believe everything you read in meme form?

I’ve been to Paris 3 times, I’m from BC in Canada. April, May and October I went. Had an amazing time every time, people, food, places. It’s one of my favorite cities.

I live in southern BC and heat with a newer Carrier heat pump. The outdoor unit is a 28 seer model paired with an indoor ducted unit. It works fairly well until a week or two when we have -25c and below which I switch to our baseboard. I’m a home builder and built the house and it’s definitely better than a 1990 or older home but nowhere near the efficiency we are building today.

Our electric rates are $0.142/kWh. I don’t know what gas is as I don’t have the option.

I do agree that heat pumps struggle with colder temps and northern homes, especially older ones, aren’t going to be able to heat consistently through the winter. Storms and outages also are an issue but gas won’t heat a house if there’s no power either.

Gas is cheap and it is fairly efficient (debatable) but the rest of your comment is silly. My wife and I and a child of 5 live in a 1000sqft house (two floors total 2k sqft) and heat and cool with a heat pump. Electric on demand water. Nothing crazy about the building as far as insulation and air sealing. 2012 build-to-code. Our electricity bills are NEVER over $200 a month and usually under $150 a month. We haven’t had a power outage in two years and the last one was scheduled for about 1 hour.

If you want to argue for gas make better points. Electricity is cheap and reliable. I don’t disagree that gas is cheap also and that we shouldn’t entirely abandon gas and I’m a realist in thinking we can’t eliminate it entirely and suddenly.

Ceramic/glass top electric is shit. I’ve used gas and induction a fair amount, but at home I have a mid range priced electric ceramic and it’s terrible compared to the other two options.

I think it’s to save them from sexual orientation education in schools? Some people think teaching our kids about gender fluidity and acceptance will somehow make them gay.

!kootenays@lemmy.ca (BC) is not growing much but could be added?

I’ve had this turned off for quite some time (maybe 2 years) and haven’t had it turn itself back on. Using Firefox.

I think the same thing about everything! Never believe anything that doesn’t align with my personal beliefs no matter how much evidence exists to the contrary!

You’re being downvoted but the amount of people I see in my work and personal life that barely make ends meet but are buying garbage on Amazon constantly is staggering. Prime days especially I was shaking my head at people bragging about the deals they got.

Keep one in your car as well. I’ve carried one over 15 years under my seat and had to use it last summer when a motorcycle attempted to overtake and hit a turning car. It wasn’t fun but I’m glad I had it.

I do use docker, I set up a docker account as well with selected permissions.

I do have a separate backup in a separate building that syncs the most important stuff.

It is backed up to a another drive that’s in a separate building. At least the most important stuff syncs.

You are also people :)

Thanks for the reply. I have used VLC forever and here and there for casting. Mostly it’s my parents using Plex that I’m trying to simplify for them. Not sure if jellyfin would help them lol

How’s the android app and casting to Chromecast? If you know… I struggle the most with casting and controlling casted material as well as scrubbing while casting.

What is it that you all are documenting? I’m just getting started and have so far just set up docker and several containers (Plex, the *arrs, qbittorrent, gluetun) and not sure if I should be writing something down?

I’m curious about this as well. The climate there can easily support efficient electric heat sources (heat pump) in the cold season. Gas ranges/hobs are nice but induction is pretty good now.
