Thought that might be where you were headed with it. It's definitely on my mind, but I mentioned elsewhere that I have a pretty deep personal reason to be close-ish to Washington State.

If I had complete free-choice and the means to go anywhere, it'd be Finland, Norway or Iceland.

Looks like a WikiHow graphic on how to do it, that's crazy

As in, further north? east? Not CA at all?

Curious what makes you say it in a slightly cryptic way.

Haha, good distinction. There's "the king of dumping on you" and the "king of fun" kinda snow.

I know Whistler is pretty much THE ski spot in the entire world.

When a lot of Canadians say they hate the US (including myself) we are more so saying that we hate the government

I'm just so used to how the southern confederates act towards things like this. They'll vilify an entire country like China, and then practically tar and feather any Korean that walks by because of it. Crazy shit.

As for businesses, I have started to use co-op a lot more especially for gas.

Are you speaking of this? https://canada.coop/en/

Looks like they have stuff pretty much all over CA, and even possibly some jobs to look into as well. Thanks for that tip! Co-ops are something I really miss about the western states. They're practically illegal on the east.

The only issue with Ontario is that I have some personal reasons for wanting to be somewhat close-ish to Washington State. I have considered it, though. I used to work with some devs up there, but my company canned them before I could get transferred...

Which one is the snow king, Ontario or BC?

Yea, the rich folk thing is exactly why I would expect to have issues. They do that to places, New Zealand is another good example. I am definitely not rich, though. Kinda curious, are there "vanlife" type people up there? I live in a RAV4 right now, used to live in a skoolie. I won't take away any of your houses, I just need a water/food source and maybe a gym.

I like the sound of this Smithers town. And looking at the map, there are a bunch of peaks in the area, definitely my style. Zooming out a bit, it seems that whole general area right there is right up my alley and on a major road.

Thanks for the offer and the infos, I may just hit you up for some more insight at some point! Especially since you've sorta done what I want to do, although you had the benefit of being from CA originally.

I'll do my best to stand next to a crowd of them

Good idea on the fibre map!

I've experienced cold-as-shit, but I'm not sure I've experienced proper cold yet. Lowest was -8F (-22C) and even then it only lasted for the coldest part of that night and went just above 0F (-17C) as the sun came out.

I lived in Vermont at the time, house was heated by an oil furnace. The furnace died 2 days before this happened and didn't get replaced until a week after 🥲

oh shit, I did not even consider that could happen. I uh... need to go tear down an instance I don't really use anymore.

Excellent, I hadn't come across this yet, many thanks!

Just fyi, you typed the link to their main source code as github.org instead of .com :)

I don't think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.

It's not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.

IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.

The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.
