I hope the latter.

The food in couche tard is just so uninspiring. Not downright terrible, but pretty overpriced for what they are.

Homicide rate in Winnipeg is 5/100k: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3510007101&pickMembers%5B0%5D=2.2&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2020&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2023&referencePeriods=20200101%2C20230101

Definitely much worse than being in Poland, where the rate is 0.68, one of the lowest in Europe.

This attack comes less than eight months after another incident where a Ukrainian newcomer was stabbed and killed on his way to work at the corner of Talbot Avenue and Watt Street, several blocks from where Sokolova was attacked.

I'm starting to think those attacks could be ethnically-motivated. Especially asking if they are Ukrainian before attacking. I wonder if the two events are connected.

Tbh this is probably for things like DLSS, captions, etc. Not necessarily for chatbots or generative art.

Yeah I forgot Manitoba was mostly relying on hydro!

I don't think it's fair to look at Canada as a monolith. Quebec is generating most of its energy from hydro, whereas Ontario relies on a well established nuclear energy infrastructure. Provinces that need to change are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Edit: Manitoba actually relies on hydro for 97% of their usage. So correction: only Alberta and Saskatchewan!

Fire to improve productivity???

Might look good, but with price of mobo and ram it's not worth it (i.e. might as well spend more to get a better CPU).

Yeah with a docker container running 24/7 and a phone app it's much better. they also have a setting where deleted files on phone are simply moved to archive on the server.

Having setup both, ive found syncthing to be much simpler. I would probably not go through the headache of setting up https and databases for next cloud again...

You want people to go downtown more? What about making it easy and safe (from stabbing) to go downtown via public transport? Rather than trams that takes 1h+ when it should be taking 20min?

If they have everyday low price why would there be a price drop?

 

I have updated some dependencies and refactored the posting mechanism, now the bot should correctly post to Lemmy. Previously Reddit's RSS was broken, then the lemmy Python dependencies became outdated, which caused the bot to be out of commissuion for a while.

 

This trailer looks pretty promising, the art style looks somewhat similar to Monster.

 

As you might see, we've had a multiple spam posts that made it through Reddit and got reposted by the bot. There was no way to determine if a post was spam or not.

To partially alleviate this, I added a ignore list here: https://github.com/poutinetown/reddit-sales-repost-bot/blob/main/ignored.txt

If you want to add something, please make a pull request (very easy with GitHub UI, you can learn here) that only modifies the ignored.txt file by adding a new line, and briefly describe the reasoning.

If you feel a URL has been unjustly added there, please open an issue and I will remove if it makes sense. So far, the URLs were based on the removed posts.

 

A popular subreddit like /r/gamedeals is a good place to find game deals. In the BAPCS Canada subreddit, game deals are forbidden except for free games.

However, since the other game deals community are smaller/less active, would it be a good idea for this community to be a place to share Steam/Epicgames/Prime Games deals? Should there only been free games (like the subreddit), or is any discount okay?

Not sure about GoG and other platforms, but happy to hear thoughts on those as well.

 

I was wondering why the Reddit deals were no longer being shown here, especially the $1300 Dell PC with RTX3080+7700x.

It turns that bot was banned. I don't think there's any explanation available, guess bots are just not welcome in this instance?

Anyway, it was a great run, but guess Reddit couldn't be replaced in the end.

 

After reading this post and many comments supporting the use of a bot, I started testing a repost bot (initially announced here) on a test community.

It seems to be working well so far, with posts every 10mins. Since it uses GitHub Actions, there's no hosting aspect involved. Although the actions might not start exactly every 10mins, which means in some cases the posts maybe be a bit more delayed, no hosting means it will work as long as the GitHub Actions service is not shut down.

Unless there's serious opposition (happy to hear thoughts in the comments), I plan to deploy it here starting next week. If you simply do not like bots or don't want to get spammed, you can select "Block user".

 

If i want to run an Ubuntu server 24/7 with Plex and Qbit, would it make sense to use a hard drive as home/boot drive? Or is it better to use an SSD?
