I work in emergency management but I've always been interested in tech as a hobby. That led me to start self-hosting Plex on my desktop about 6-7 years ago. Now I've got a dedicated machine running unraid with about 20 to 30 different docker services.
I really enjoy being able to figure out how to setup a service and then being able to be fully in control of how it works. Beyond just enjoying tinkering with the system to learn, I enjoy being able to troubleshoot and fix problems without relying on large companies.
I've lived in a handful of different provinces and have family in basically every region of Canada and I have never heard of goof being used that way. Where did you hear that?
Calling someone a goof is just another way to say they're being silly/ ridiculous, which I'm pretty sure is the same way it's used everywhere else.
As others have pointed out, CloudFlare doesn't sell .ca domain names due to the ownership restrictions applied by CIRA. I've personally used Web Hosting Canada (WHC.ca) for many years, including their hosting for a while. I also have a couple of domains with Register.ca.
I then use DuckDNS for dynamic updates and the free tier of CloudFlare for security certificates and some simple access rules.
Cannot wait for this, I wishlisted it immediately when I first saw a post about it over the weekend.
I was in a similar situation but I ended up creating a support ticket. They responded by asking me to verify my ownership by responding to their email from the account I didn't have anymore... So you saved yourself some wasted time by not attempting to resolve the issue with them.
I'm one of the few that don't work in tech but it's arguably the hobby I spend the most time (and money) with so I'm not sure if I really count. I work in emergency management & specialized response services.
Tom Francis (the dev behind TBW and many other great games) posted videos throughout the dev cycle of the game on his YouTube channel. They're definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in game design/development.
Happy to see I'm not the only one who prefers raspberry jam! Imo it's truly the perfect pairing
I used to only use it for random change I'd get on the rare occasion I'd pay for something with cash. Nowadays it's always filled with dog treats since my dog is nearly always with me.
I've been thinking of getting 1 or 2 of those Ikea air filters, how loud are they when they run? Anything you wish you'd known before getting it?
