I’ve run yacy and searxng, and I find yacy flaky. I get really random search results, often not useful at all. I like Searxng though, although once in a while I have to hit refresh to get my result. Probably a simple fix, I’ve just never bothered to go down the rabbit hole.

I once duct taped a drill bit to a piece of wood that was kinda shaped like one of those old-timer hand cranked drills… Cordless, check! Made in Canada, check! I don’t still have it though, and I don’t know how much I’d charge. The bit probably came from Canadian Tire?

I got some video goggles about 10 years ago. The picture on the box? A guy wearing cool shades. Me? It felt like 10 pounds strapped to my face in such a way I had to look straight up to sort of see a blurry, blocky video through a screen door. This had to be plugged into a DVD player or a VHS player (yes, really) with three separate cords, but still also ate four AAs more than once an hour, and had built in earbuds in exactly the wrong size. Also, there was a separate cord to a remote control that managed to get tangled up very easily despite being too short to fit in a pocket while the goggles were on your head, so I just kinda looped it over my shoulders. Claimed to have a 3D mode. Never found it. 300$ well spent.

Monica Hughes had some good books, and at least a few were set in Canada. I’m too lazy to google, but I bet she’s a Canuck. Gordon Korman. (YA books. Reaching into my childhood.)

… And he is one dumb motherfucker. I like your name. My mom would hate it.

I tried to start with OpenStack. Oof. Yup. Proxmox.

There are a lot of good guides. I run almost everything on proxmox these days, even virtualized my Windows, and (after a lot of messing around) got my GPU passed through for when I game.

Me too. It’s the parasympathetic nervous system. You anticipate bleeding. Your body goes, “Bleeding is bad. Drop the blood pressure, that’ll stop the bleeding!” It worked! I see a needle in a medical setting, I’m out like a light. Dentists are fun.

Lemmy.ca was down for like two days because OVH had a PSU go on their host and they never responded to the support requests.
