Telus’ existing KIDC Kamloops data centre holds up to 12,500 GPUs and is capable of generating up to 25 megawatts of power. Its M3 Vancouver facility will be of similar scope, with 13,000 GPUs planned and an output of 26 megawatts. Its downtown location, however, will scale significantly higher, housing more than 50,000 GPUs at a facility capable of generating up to 100 megawatts of power.

This wording has to be a mistake. Datacentres don’t generate power. They consume it.

I tried SilverBullet and it was really good and really neat, but not for me. Now I’m using Obsidian, which is easy enough to self host, but the company that makes it is small and indie and I decided to support them with a subscription.

I also switched to Asahi Linux 5 months ago. After decades of being an Apple fan, they are most unappealing these days.

OpenProject is what you’re looking for.

I don’t have a big problem with CloudFlare (and use their service myself for some things). But so much of the internet infrastructure is already consolidated with them. There are so many good options for domain registrars. Let’s spread things around a bit.

I hope TransLink will send OneBC the invoice for chartering that bus that whisked them off campus.

I hope Americans visiting Las Vegas start changing their money to CAD to take advantage of this little arbitrage opportunity!

for personal use

A key part of his argument is that these laws should be repealed so that small companies could legally develop hacks and alternatives. For example a startup could develop (and support) an alternative firmware for John Deere tractors, which they sell to independent tractor repair shops around the world, creating more competition, more options, and cheaper/better services to end users. The “for personal use” version of that is fine for us hobbyists, but prevents similar freedoms from being accessible to regular people.

Have you used the Apple App Store recently? It’s a cesspool of apps using dark patterns, gaming the rankings, stuffing keywords, tricking users who meant to install something else. Everything is “free” but needs “in-app purchases” to unlock the functionality that is implied. Apple is no longer protecting the user here.

Use a credit union if you can. Invest in your community.

What if you rent a bare metal server in a data center? Or rent a VPS from a basic provider that expects you to do your own firewalling? Or run your home lab docker host on the same vlan as other less trusted hosts?

It would be nice if there was a reliable way to run a firewall on the same host that’s running docker.

You may say these are obscure use cases and that they are Wrong and Bad. Maybe you’re right, but personally I think it’s an unfortunate gap in expected functionality, if for no other reason than defense-in-depth.

I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.

Thanks for posting this. It’s such an obviously good idea. I’ve just emailed my MP to lodge my support.

I use Navidrome and highly recommend it. Nice Canadian developer.

I also use GitLab.

One option is for you to mirror Navidrome on GitLab. I will happily use your mirror instead of GitHub.

Another option is to reach out to the Navidrome dev and propose moving to GitLab. If you open an issue to that effect, I would add a comment with my support.
