Good to know. Thanks for this info. I’ll be watching this more closely.

I’m in BC and have accounts with several credit unions. My impression is that they are less consolidated than this, however now I’m not so sure. One of them (Prospera) did a merger last year. Their CEO has a total compensation of $921k. VanCity CU’s CEO total compensation is $1.1M. Blueshore CU was the hardest to find (latest numbers are from 2023 when a CEO retired a new one joined) but it appears to be about $750k.

This is a fascinating and thrilling interview. Thanks for posting!

If you have specific examples or sources I would be very interested to read up on this. Thanks!

It’s unclear why the council — which did not respond to an interview request — thinks the other provinces have something to do with the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation.

Love this sarcastic tone in the CBC article. 😁

I’m pleased to learn about Uber drivers in Victoria successfully unionizing. My impression is that Uber is among the most exploitive platforms in the “service economy” so this is encouraging news. Hopefully they can expand the union to cover Vancouver and then all of BC.

Use a credit union if you can. Invest in your community.

What if you rent a bare metal server in a data center? Or rent a VPS from a basic provider that expects you to do your own firewalling? Or run your home lab docker host on the same vlan as other less trusted hosts?

It would be nice if there was a reliable way to run a firewall on the same host that’s running docker.

You may say these are obscure use cases and that they are Wrong and Bad. Maybe you’re right, but personally I think it’s an unfortunate gap in expected functionality, if for no other reason than defense-in-depth.

Thanks for your comments! I’ve fixed the RSS file now I think.

Arpeggi on iOS is the best I’ve found. Available via TestFlight invite only. I plan to switch to Android in the next year, so I’m always interested to hear what clients people like over there too.

Thanks for posting this. It’s such an obviously good idea. I’ve just emailed my MP to lodge my support.

I use Navidrome and highly recommend it. Nice Canadian developer.

I also use GitLab.

One option is for you to mirror Navidrome on GitLab. I will happily use your mirror instead of GitHub.

Another option is to reach out to the Navidrome dev and propose moving to GitLab. If you open an issue to that effect, I would add a comment with my support.
