For voters in #Canada, how you feel about Trump being happy to see #Carney and now Trump continuing 51st state talk with Carney as PM? Trump said #Poilievre probably hates him more than Carney does. #canadaelection #pierrepoilievre

@nprofile…7sks One queation about your blog, do you ever try to write for people who have no experience, no skills in setting up servers, maintaining servers, or do you only write for people who work in IT and sysadmin, but for people who have no knowledge the blog is not for them will not try to teach them anything?

@nprofile…7sks I did not want for this to get so political. My intent was explaining the election results for Canada and how it is going to inflict a lot of financial damage and cause a lot more people to hurt badly. Nobody can help every single person, I was only trying to explain, but I've also encountered condescending and hypocritical attitudes from people trying to avoid personal accountability when it comes to someone trying to find resources for help so they put up a smokescreen of words and then turn their back on lesser people. I'm not interested in debating, I was trying to explain, and it grew from there when it shouldn't have

@nprofile…7sks For online resources, you've done a lot. I didn't kniw about snac2 before I saw it's service you. You do give away with your time maintaining all of the various services, keeping each BSD updated and configured correctly. You sacrifice personal time being so active and available on here. So you do already help a lot.
Giving of cash money is not the only way to improve someone's life. "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, but teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".
My point about how some people are not willing to get involved, my point was about how there are fishermen who have no interest in teaching anyone how to fish so that person can secure their own food but the fisherman pays by sharing knowledge and skill to provide for others, not money. Does that help to clarify my point? Nobody is capable of helping the world or saving the world. I was never saying you must give away your money, I was saying that when people have been beaten down by life and someone only says nice words but never willing to tolerate any inconvenience doesn't help people.
For example, maybe for you to give generously could be helping to teach someone to maintain BSD servers is all that person needs to be able to go make some real money to provide for themself and then that person can teach others their job skills so future people can grow and pass it on that way, but it did not cost money to help greatly improve and change other people's life for the better.

@nprofile…7sks I understand the sentiment, but nice words do not help broken and hungry people.
I'm not dismissing what you are expressing, but people say words like a band aid solution but don't want to give from their own personal resources to meet people where they are at.
Or said another way, never tell a hungry person that you will pray for them until you have given them a full meal to eat.

@nprofile…7sks Oh, it's in reference the election result in Canada and having an extremist environmentalist globalist win the election. He hide everything he believes in during campaign but he wrote a book years ago outlining how the government needs to take more of everybody's money plus add new taxes on people's income to protect the planet, bring in a total ban on gas and oil, and create new criminal laws to protect what people can say online so people who share bad information will be held liable. He is also in support of government freezing or taking away people's bank account of anyone who supports activities that do not conform to mandates issued by government.
I see an ever widening picture of people's money disappearing. Cost of heat going up, cost of food going up, cost of business going up, maybe more companies going out of business, more people will skip meals because of money. I heard last year in Canada that 2 million people were living off food donations, they could not afford to buy food. Houses are not worth much when people have to choose between heat or food. Clothes, or food. So the homeowners who voted the way they did protect against Trump are going to lose a mass amount of money when Canadians can't pay rent, much less care about the price of a house. There's no value in owning a home when there's no people who want to buy it

@nprofile…7sks How you mean?

2025-05-01 05:28:04 UTC

In 12 months from now, people in #Canada will live in misery, some financially wiped out, and homeowners will choose between taking a loss on their home to possibly sell for 20% less or have zero buyers to sell at market price.

@nprofile…303n No, you didn't. You seem to have an overly simplistic view of articulating and communication skills. I assume that you don't know about deciphering and interpreting different styles

@nprofile…s4nx i would suggest sticking with native repository. If you want stability, why not use Devuan?
