I had zip experience self hosting home lab or with linux. I messed around in ubuntu for a couple weeks then just ran the commands on the jellyfin documentation for setup.

It mostly just worked. Web ui started right up and i loaded my library. So glad i never touched plex.

First go find 3 separate articles about bill C 22 and read them. Actually read them. Now you have the jist of why people are concerned. Second. Look at the response from this MP. Protecting people from cyber crime is necessary but the invasions of privacy, weakening of encryption, and collection of digital footprints that will cause massive data breaches in future? That will just cause more crime due to the breaches that will follow.

MP response: Our government has been clear that lawful access measures are to ensure that law enforcement and CSIS have the tools they need to protect Canadians. This includes strengthening their ability to investigate and disrupt organized crime networks and respond to serious threats to public safety. Currently, Canada is the only country among the Five Eyes and G7 that does not have modern lawful access legislation, making us reliant on international partners like the United-States for critical information. The Canadian government believes it is time for Canadian law enforcement to have an updated, made-in-Canada solution to effectively counter criminal and national security threats. With Bill C-22, law enforcement will have the tools they have consistently called for to combat serious crimes such as child sexual exploitation, extortion, human trafficking, and money laundering. When law enforcement and public safety officials told us what they needed to better protect Canadians, we listened. This legislation works to remove existing barriers that can delay or hinder investigations and helps keep our communities safe. We are moving forward with legislative changes in Bill C-22 to ensure that law enforcement and intelligence professionals have the tools they need to address serious crimes, while continuing to uphold Canadian values. We are confident that Bill C-22 addresses those gaps in previous legislations in a thoughtful and balanced way. Our government remains committed to working with all parties like CSIS and the RCMP, as well as a broad range of stakeholders, to ensure we are responding effectively to the calls from police and public safety experts on lawful access. A strong government listens and delivers for Canadians—and that is exactly what we are doing to keep Canadians safe. Thank you again for contacting our office. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. Sincerely, The Office of MP Giovanna Mingarelli

Well done fellow human. Well done. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of it all.

So i emailed my MP. Have a read of her take.

Email your MPs. Speak out. Not later not im busy. Web search your mp and send the email. It takes 5 minutes to say no to this bullshit bill.

Doesnt matter what rules are in place. Email your MPs. Thats their damn job is to listen to their constituents. Its better they hear no on top of the charter versus crickets which might give them ideas.

Yup. Seems to be a global fad of saying fuck privacy you need a face scan to communicate. Fuck them and fuck that.

Agreed. He has no idea the repercussions this will have. These companies cant even keep operational data safe. What chance do these year long surveillance records have ?

I emailed my MP of ontario. This is bullshit and i expect better from our elected reps.

Emailed my MP. Wrote out a slew of issues this bill has. Do it. Dont go oh i should do that, or I will later, im talking to YOU reading this. Because i am you. I procrastinate. I tell myself others will fight against this.

Have you looked south of the border recently? Hows that going for them?

Web search your MP. Write the damn email. We need to get off our lazy asses and speak up. Step by step they will strip our privacy away until every digital interaction will be tied to your SIN. To your face.

This is the kind of action we need to take. Im proud of you for making the change. Taking the time. Making the effort to say nope fuck you and fuck that.

So as i started to list out all software on my windows box to check for linux support i cane across a game. HBS battletech 2018, with the battletech advanced mod. Is a overhaul. They have linux instructions but its not a guarantee.

Thank you for the recommendation! I will add it to my list.

So i have ubuntu, mint, and pop os running currently. And unraid if that counts.

Could you toss out 3-5 solid distros that good for gaming compatibility or general use? I will look up cachy OS. Also id i may ask whats up with pop os? Drama in the distro?

That is a reverse-cyclonic modulation moderator designed to run your washing machine backwards so that cycle time is reduced.

I have many linux distros running in the house for servers and self hosted software but the one box i havent swapped yet is my daily driver system. Microsoft is pushing me ever closer but with some titles still not supporting linux and getting to the end of a day i just want to game not debug something.

Its getting close though. Fuck this timeline. I looked at Pop OS and bazzite as out of the box gaming distros but am open to anything.

Turn my country the fuck around so that public servants represent people and decisions are made to improve the lives of people.

Jensen is a useless deflated wenis sack of a man. This ai arms race is doing nothing but hurting the fabric of humanity and more importantly, further increasing the rate of environmental destruction. :(

I cant remember a time in my life where Canada was considered a “global leader” in rail transportation. Especially passenger. Main problem is the sheer distance these trains have to run. Toronto to mo treal? Yeah sure. Calgary to edmonton, yeah. But ottawa to calgary or vancouver? Nope. Not unless we get a bullet train.
