I heard about the Light Phone recently and I think it’s a decent bridge between the old brick phones and modern smartphones. It has navigation and music functionality that a brick phone wouldn’t, but doesn’t have all the rest of the attention thieving bloat of a smartphone.

It would be nice to have music streaming capability and alternative messaging apps (Signal) and perhaps a web browser, though.

Looks like that one isn’t maintained. That page links to this one instead.

Perhaps one should ask why there is so much trash to be thrown away in the first place.

Bins wouldn’t always be full if there was simply less trash to put in them.

I don’t know the details of these nuggets, but I’m guessing they used multiple sessions to use a coupon code multiple times or something of the sort. More just exploiting a poorly set up system than theft.

Stealing ATMs is significantly different and definitely more illegal in my mind.

Imagine if they took all that ‘piracy prevention’ effort (that doesn’t really work in the end anyway) and put it towards actually making enjoyable games.

Yeah, it’s nice to see a place that does a fairly extensive mostly burger-only menu well. I’m sure someone will correct me, but it seems like there aren’t a lot of those in Sask.

A fellow Saskatchewanian!? I’m going to have to check this place out next time I’m in NB!

That is promising, though it would be a good next step to the consumption sites rather than a replacement for them.

The consumption sites would be good first points of contact so users could be provided the treatment centre information.

It’s kind of amazing how people will continue to vote for people who create policy that is proven to be ineffective at best and directly harmful at worst.

Sad to see the news about tteck. His scripts really helped me get off the ground on my own self hosting journey.

This is quite important with Immich. They’re good at documenting their breaking changes, just gotta make sure you check the changelog before updating. Also best to avoid auto updating with Watchtower or similar to avoid surprises.

It’s not salting your water, nor the water volume to pasta ratio, nor if the water is boiling or not, nor oil in the water, but stirring early in the cooking process that will prevent sticking.

From the great Kenji Lopez-Alt:

Pasta is made up of flour, water, and sometimes eggs. Essentially, it’s composed of starch and protein, and not much else. Now starch molecules come aggregated into large granules that resemble little water balloons. As they get heated in a moist environment, they absorb more and more water until they finally burst, releasing the starch molecules into the water. That’s why pasta always seems to stick together at the beginning of cooking—it’s the starch molecules coming out and acting as a sort of glue, binding the pieces to each other, and to the pot.

…

The problem is that first stage of cooking—the one in which starch molecules first burst and release their starch. With such a high concentration of starch right on the surface of the pasta, sticking is inevitable. However, once the starch gets rinsed away in the water, the problem is completely gone.

So the key is to stir the pasta a few times during the critical first minute or two. After that, whether the pasta is swimming in a hot tub of water or just barely covered as it is here, absolutely no sticking occurs. I was able to clean this pot with a simple rinse.

+1 for Ubiquiti here too. My network is a fair bit smaller, but I have a regular Dream Machine for WiFi, router and firewall, and just an 8 port poe switch for two AP-AC-Pros and two cameras. The ecosystem is very expandable too, so I can easily add devices if I’m running out of capacity.

They’re a little pricier, but definitely worth it IMO for something that just works with minimal tinkering. Networking setup is quite easy as well, Mactelecom networks on YT has some great videos on that.
