In its long-awaited artificial intelligence strategy released Thursday, the Carney government said it will “strengthen its privacy laws to ensure that Canadians’ personal information is not used inappropriately, including for surveillance pricing.” Government officials did not give further details or clarify when asked if that will be an outright ban on the practice.

I'm curious how many people would prefer a more durable/thinkpad-like framework laptop. I get they're trying to go for the more popular/mainstream light/thin/pretty design but man I still like using my T530 over my FW13. I've seen posts like "set my bag down a little too fast and bent/had to replace my hinge" and whatever. i still think the Framework is the best laptop currently being made and would still recommend it and do recommend it to my friends. Obviously some people like the weight and see it as worth the trade-off. but dang i wish there were a beefier one, I dont think we're going to see "framework on the international space station" posts at this rate.

I must say I appreciate that Arenanet does not want to repeat what happened with Guild Wars 1 and they plan on supporting both GW1 and GW2 while running GW3.

What search engines and networks do y'all visit when searching for what you need? The search engines on fmhy.net just don't return the right results and I have to !s on a network's channel to fins out...

No matter what app I use now for YouTube, I'm having issues with buffering. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Has Google finally found a way to hamper non-Premium users?

and what if any do you miss from windows?

After struggling for over 20 hours, I wanted to share the results of my investigation regarding very poor Internet upload erformance.

Setup

• Proxmox Server with a Single 10GbE NIC
• OPNsense VM on Proxmox
• OPNsense uses VirtIO NICs tied to the 10GbE Linux Bridge
• upstream Gateway is a OpenWRT router with 1GbE uplink
• Zyxel XS1930 Switch connecting Proxmox Host and Gateway

Problem

Internet download speeds are fine (900Mbit/s) but upload speeds are not (5-15MBit/s instead of 50MBit/s)

Solution

Various OPNsense tunables (configured for 8 CPU cores)

• hw.ibrs_disable = 1
• net.isr.maxthreads = -1
• net.isr.bindthreads = 1
• net.isr.dispatch = deferred
• net.inet.rss.enabled = 1
• net.inet.rss.bits = 6
• kern.ipc.maxsockbuf = 16777216
• net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max = 4194304
• net.inet.tcp.recvspace = 262144
• net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_inc = 16384
• net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max = 4194304
• net.inet.tcp.sendspace = 262144
• net.inet.tcp.soreceive_stream = 1
• net.pf.source_nodes_hashsize = 1048576
• net.inet.tcp.mssdflt = 1240
• net.inet.tcp.abc_l_var = 52
• net.inet.tcp.minmss = 536
• kern.random.fortuna.minpoolsize = 128
• net.isr.defaultqlimit = 2048

Enabling Multiqueue in Proxmox for the VirtIO NICs

(binary stepping, 1 Queue for 2 cores, 2 Queues for 4 cores, 3 Queue for 8 cores ect, total amount of all Queues mustn’t be greater then the VMs CPU cores)

Enabling Flow Control on all involved Network devices

• Proxmox hardware NIC: ethtool -K nic0 rx on tx on
• OpenWRT lan interfnace:

uci set network.lan.txpause='1'

uci set network.lan.rxpause='1'

uci commit

reload_config

• Zyxel Switch:

Port -> Port Setup - Checked all Ports

Enabling Port Buffering

Zyxel Switch:

Port -> Port Buffer - Checked the Port with the Gateway

Reason

The Main reason for this problem seems to be the down-stepping of 10Gbit traffic to 1Gbit devices. Without Flow control enabled on all involved devices, the sending rate can't be adjusted. But without enabling Port Buffering, the Switch won't allocate resources for adjusting the traffic flow rate for slower devices.

This Problem should only affect people who use devices with different link speeds on the same switch.

Been working on building a wiki over a number of months, but realize it is a ton of work. My goals are:

• No Database, just files and folders for Dokuwiki
• Get the experience to feel accessible and fun for users.
• Make the wiki into something users can save locally and access offline.

The wiki coincides with various DIY and open source projects I'm experimenting with. Thought I'd share here, since this is about the extensions I'm actually using within Dokuwiki. Would love to add more, but just need them to work in daily use first.

Plugins in use:

• SMTP, so users receive their login credentials.
• Templator, for treating pages as templates for re-use.
• Include plugin, for using pages within pages to organize content.
• Open Document plugin - For export as odt
• Pagelist, which I'm still learning for organizing tables.
• Move plugin - for moving location of pages without breaking links.
• Wrap plugin, for centering images and code blocks.
• Tag, for adding tag browsing between page.
• Footer, for clarifying info displayed at bottom of pages.
• Catmenu, adds a clean, simple tree menu for the page being viewed.

Security engineer Taylor Hornby, who recently used Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 AI model to uncover a critical bug in Zcash, says he will next audit Monero and other privacy-focused cryptocurrencies.

The Zcash flaw, hidden in the Orchard privacy pool since May 2022, could have allowed unlimited counterfeit ZEC to be minted undetected and prompted an emergency fix by June 1 after its discovery on May 29.

Hornby, hired by nonprofit developer Shielded Labs to find protocol bugs before attackers do, disclosed the vulnerability instead of exploiting it and plans to seek a Zcash coinholder grant to fund further work.

Today’s game is Mario Kart 8. Today’s been a bit busy (hence the lateness). There’s been a bit of a celebratory event today I won’t get into. For the first time in a while though I didn’t have the time to sit down and pick something to play. Thankfully, I’m me. And even when I’m playing other games I still take screenshots.

Anyways. I mostly wanted to use today to thank everyone who provided me pointers and tips for 200cc the last time I played.

I would like to let you know the fruits of your labor have not gone to waste. I have even beaten my group’s reigning 200 CC champion (the gold Mario player). I even did it on Rainbow Road, which according to our Gold Mario Player is “the worst on 200cc”. Though I think he’s just been dramatic as honestly Rainbow road is easy on 200cc.

I mainly stuck to brake drifting around corners and it was easy.

200cc honestly has completely changed the game for me. 150 feels to slow and I take completely new routes now to accommodate for the added speed. It’s honestly awesome. I can’t believe I was so put off by it before.

Anyways, one last thing I was going to share is this awesome bomb throw I got. I was going to do it as a clip but I couldn’t censor my friend’s names. So here’s a screenshot. I ricocheted it off the canyon wall twice and managed to nail my friend with it.

Anyways. I just wanted to take it easy today and relax, so i went with this. Tomorrow it’s back to the currently regularly scheduled Twilight Princess.

Spent lots of time with Gnome 2.

In Dec 2024 I got hooked in Hyprland on Arch and have a cool rice for it. But I've tried KDE on desktop now with Parrot OS since Plasma is popular. Still need to find some cool dot files or rice it myself.

I've noticed SwayFX getting lots of love lately. I might use that as an option with Plasma but am afraid of conflicts. I'm excited about it since Linux has now officially replaced windows on my gaming rig, which is the very last MS computer left in my house.
