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.
Seconding Zotero. I truly don’t know how I would be able to keep track of all the research I read through and reference. I especially love that I can highlight passages and attach notes to each entry right inside the desktop app.
The browser connector is also super handy for quickly adding papers to read-through at a later date.
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.
Some of us don’t really have that luxury. For example, I don’t choose who I need to communicate with for work purposes.
I completely agree, I really enjoyed D:OS II but I just haven’t been able to get into BG3 so far. I can’t say anything was bad or poorly accomplished but it’s just not clicking for me yet why everyone claims it’s the greatest game of all time.
I switched over to TickTick when Todoist suddenly changed their pricing model a few years ago. I don’t remember the specifics of what happened but I remember being very frustrated with the sudden changes as it would’ve required me to change my whole system.
I’ve been very happy with TickTick since then and would strongly recommend OP checks it out to see if it fits their needs.
Highly recommend cases by Fractal.
For self hosting I’d recommend either one of the Meshify 2 or Define 7, depending on local price and your specific needs. I personally went with the Meshify 2 XL and was blown away by the quality of the case. It’s built well and allows for a variety of configurations. It also makes maintenance very easy as the filters and side panels can all be removed without any tool to handle dust build up.
Seconding the recommendation for FreshRSS, it’s the one I ended up hosting when I looked into this a while back and it’s been really great. Takes a minute to get everything setup, especially if you want to have different settings for different types of feeds, but once it’s all set it’s perfect (for my needs at least).
I’ve also got it setup with my domain so I can access the feed from anywhere and that’s been one of my favourite features.
I use it occasionally to try out games on gamepass that I’m not sure I’ll enjoy. I’ll usually play for about 30 minutes to an hour and then decide if I want to install it or just play something else.
I also occasionally use it on my steamdeck but that’s even less often.
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.
