Evkob , to Canada in Fact Checked: Four Claims on Drug Deaths
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

On another note fuck Trudeau for running again, essentially guaranteeing that Canada will have a fucking Con gov't

I definitely don't disagree with you here, but on the other hand, I don't imagine the Liberals pushing a candidate that wouldn't just bring them even further right of centre...

Evkob , to Canada in Canada’s Most Vegan-Friendly Cities Unveiled
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I acknowledge I can't completely remove myself from contributing to suffering and climate change (short of killing myself, which I have no intention of doing.)

However I'll do all I can to minimize my impact. Including being vegan, living a generally minimal consumption lifestyle, buying secondhand as much as possible, walking or cycling everywhere, and not bringing any children into this world.

I'll also acknowledge my individual actions don't really make any difference in the grand scheme of things, but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least try to live in a manner that won't make our planet inhospitable to our species before the end of the century.

Sorry my diet doesn't cause enough death, suffering, and environmental destruction for your tastes.

Evkob , to Technology in ASUS warns of critical remote authentication bypass on 7 routers
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I believe they mean setting up a VPN on your network, rather than buying a service from a VPN provider.

Something like Wireguard lets you configure individual devices to access your network remotely.

Evkob , (edited ) to Canada in Is Canada Finally Taking Far-Right Extremism Seriously?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Most definitely not "just on the internet" (which is kind of a weird statement, the vast majority of Canadians use the internet). Just have a look at the current polling.

Anecdotally, here in NB (which is a conservative cesspool, to be fair) I've seen a few "Fuck Trudeau" stickers and flags, and have heard many go off on rants about why he's to blame for everything they dislike (typically stuff over which the prime minister has zero power).

It almost makes me feel bad for disliking Trudeau for being a massive neoliberal and lying about getting rid of first-past-the-post. I don't want to be associated with the "Fuck Trudeau" crowd.

Here's the best article I could find after some brief searching. Sorry for linking to a "law enforcement magazine", but the article is actually quite well written and concise.

Evkob , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Real debrid client
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

There's some confusion somewhere here, but I'm not entirely sure where. If you're using a torrent client, you're not using Real-Debrid. You can download torrents via Real-Debrid, but the torrent part is done on their servers. When you then download the files, you're not torrenting, you're downloading directly from Real-Debrid's servers.

If do you want torrent client recommendations, qbittorrent on PC and LibreTorrent on Android. Just know that you wouldn't be using Real-Debrid while using these.

Evkob , to Canada in Why Canadians are angry with their biggest supermarket
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Our country is becoming unliveable for anyone who isn't rich, must be because of immigrants and trans people!! (/s)

I wish people would band together to hate the wealthy instead of minorities.

Evkob , to utility cycling in Why Dutch Bikes are Better (and why you should want one) [Not Just Bikes]
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I don't think they're saying hills make cycling impossible, I think they're saying Dutch-style bikes are not the best tool for the job if you live somewhere hilly.

Most of the features of a Dutch-style bike are absolutely great for cycling as transportation regardless of your location, but riding a heavy steel frame with limited gearing? It's absolutely fine if you ride somewhere mostly flat, but it isn't a well-adapted bike for inclines.

Evkob Mod , to Bicycles in So I was buying new rack...
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

As a fellow unicycle owner, the thing I hate the most about it is that I can't find anywhere to practice riding it where I don't feel like an attention whore.

I mean I am an attention whore, but I don't want to feel like it.

Evkob , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Is Stremio a honeypot?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

They're talking about Real Debrid, which is a subscription service allowing access to hosters and easy conversion of torrents to direct streams. It's really cheap and absolutely worth the money IMO, but RD doesn't seed torrents. Distributing content in that manner would get them in heaps of legal trouble.

I guess it does somewhat solve the problem of leeching, as if anyone has streamed a torrent via RD in the past 30 days you'll just load their cached copy, but I was perhaps naïvely hoping for an actual addon (RD is not an addon but rather can be configured through Torrentio) that somehow seeded torrents I stream.

@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Which addon is that, if you don't mind sharing?

Evkob , to Ask Lemmy in Now that DuckDuckGo is out. Give me your search prompts and I'll answer them as best I can. That includes images (based on what I have saved on my PC). So what is it you wish to know or see?

Evkob , to Technology in iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers'
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

This is about trackers as in devices which can geolocate, such as Apple's airtags, not privacy-invading data collection in apps. Google obviously wouldn't care to address the latter.

Evkob , to Coffee in What's in your cup this week?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I work in a café, so I usually drink what we have for espresso which is a medium-dark roast from Barista in Montréal

At home, I currently have a bag of medium roast blend from a local roaster, nothing fancy. I've been on a French press kick recently, and it does the job.
