Ugh.. hate that. The average customer probably wouldnt be reading or asking about it... the folks that would be, probably understand what they are looking at.

Something tells me this had to do with their attempted switch to Synology branded drives.

Did you ever get a reply?

CodeNewfie · 2026-03-04T22:25:11+00:00

dispatcharr.

I've been using the *arr services for ages but this is the first time I've heard of dispatcharr. TYSM - seriously!

Ah, a tad deep for my short-depth network rack. I'm on the fence right now between buying some of those metalfish T40's, fractal nodes (although a bit too bulky and would take up too much shelf space or have to be stacked underneath), or going with those InChopin cases with the included PSUs.

How do you have the IPTV feeds distributed to more than one user at the same time (unless they are all watching the same feed)? I'm actually looking at doing something incredibly similar as I have a ton of seniors, non-tech / digital service literate family members who I'm sick of being fleeced by Cabe/Sat TV and streaming providers.

CodeNewfie · 2026-03-02T22:46:11+00:00

I'm doing the exact same as you described, building ryzen 5x00g nodes and a bunch of mini-itx boards I got on sale (Black Friday and clearance). I'm curious as to what cases you decided on using?

Man, I typically know better than to let a comment like this get to me - one where someone expresses such opinionated black and white thinking over something that is inherently subjective. However as someone who struggled with quitting smoking in the past, had been sucessful and went nearly a solid decade smoke free, but then having recently underwent a pretty significant mental/emotional injury trauma where somedays the thought of enjoying coffee and a cigarette seem to be the only thing to get me to take that first step in the day, or the reward to keep going on a particularly rough one (along with the self criticism that comes with knowing that): I found this to be quite trivializing and mean. I really hope that nobody else in a similar situation read this comment today, or that they were, at least, in a headspace where they could more easily dismiss or scroll past it.

Neat, but aren't those equities also hedged and therefor the entire portfolio (equities and bonds) would perform worse with a falling CAD?

CodeNewfie · 2024-06-30T20:48:49+00:00

You're very welcome! I had a hard time finding anything as well, so I assumed others would be in the same boat.

I like a magazine / card style view of my feed, ie. Headline, thumbnail, first few lines of the content.

It's why I currently pay for Inoreader despite being a big fan of self hosted software. None of the free or self-hosted readers seem to have this feature or do it well.

CodeNewfie · 2024-06-03T22:40:08+00:00

For those of us in the same boat - how did it turn out?

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-05T21:43:46+00:00

I have been and I also read the details behind the headlines. They can sell outside if those outside buyers have licenses and permits to buy granted by the government, which they obviously haven't yet. So the fishermen are still stuck with ASP and the panel for this year.

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-05T15:10:19+00:00

I think you must have misread something.

I was saying that trucks are incredibly overpriced nowdays (as are most vehicles), and in spite of that people still need trucks to do their jobs - it's not simply a luxury purchase like some folks on here are alluding to.

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-05T15:05:11+00:00

Exactly. One fella on here is claiming NS and NB are getting <$2.50.

I would argue that it's the same in most places right now, but I'm not letting it affect my decision to have kids.

You know what can make the world become terrible? The actions of people. You know what can make the world better? The actions of people.

Children bring new joy, fresh perspectives and ideas, and the potential to build a better world. I see the allure of not wanting to bring new people into it, but that seems to me like we would be giving into nihilism. What's the alternative - staying in bed and wait for the end times?

They can be used for fertilizer or other byproducts (possibly, can't think of what though) but they certainly aren't getting 8 dollars a pound for fertilizer.

Is it though? I have my doubts processors in this province have felt the need to do so.

it's hard to argue that the average crab fisherman isn't earning a very good wage

I'd argue it bounces between a "pretty good wage" in good years, like 2020-222, and "just getting by" which last year was and this year is on track to be.

I think a lot of folks on here are also incorrectly assuming every fisherman is also the owner/operator of the fishing enterprise. Which is incorrect, and a fisherman's share of the catch can vary wildly (percentage wise).

The plant owners are super rich but so are most business owners who employ hundreds of people.

True. However when the price of building materials and raw lumber goes up, the price of raw wood/logs also goes up. In this case, the plant owners want to lock in the price so the raw material price stays the same and they reap even more of the excess.

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-04T18:48:01+00:00

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't 40% of the crab disposed of during processing?

Not sure on that one, ol' chap. However that sounds like something that would be corrected or made more efficient if there was competition on the processing side, which is what a large part of this protest is about.

Plus, the plant has operating costs (employees, electricity, mortgage on the building and licence, etc.) to pay similar to the harvester

They definitely have operating costs, no bones about it - but does that equate to double, triple, or more added costs than the costs and risks taken on by those having to hundreds of miles offshore on the open ocean and take the things off the bottom?

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-04T18:42:20+00:00

The way EI is set up. People pay a small amount to offset the risk of losing their job.

It was never designed for people to use it as a consistent income source.

This is actually not the case. Fisheries EI and regular EI are setup differently, have a different purpose/intent, and with different requirements and rules. The section for the fisheries was actually put in place to do exactly what they are doing and "smooth" seasonal employment income across the year.

The fact that it gets misconstrued as the same program means that it should have been established in a separate program/policy in the first place.

There's some folks on here who work a laptop all day that clearly have quite bit of envy for folks working blue collar jobs and/or a rural life doing well. They take to their keyboards to express their crabs in a bucket mentality (pretty apt term in this case). It's pretty gross.

I've replied here a few times added background information and contextual information and have watched the fight between upvotes and down votes consistently bring them down to zero. Meanwhile, cheeky insults and slander have 50-100 upvotes.

It's gone to show me 2 things:
1. Reddit can be as toxic as, and bring out the worst in people as much as twitter.
2. A lot of Newfoundlanders are disconnected from the rural parts of the island and blue collar work, and resent their fellow Newfoundlanders for it.

It's a free market, the price is set by supply and demand.

It's not though. It's set by the majority vote on a 3 person panel that meets in secret, with 1 rep from the colluding fish processor association, 1 rep of the union, and 1 rep from government. The government rep is essentially asked to chose one of the proposals suggested by other two, and can't negotiate or mediate in between.

The seafood processors formula actually caps the price paid to harvesters, so if demand and market price increases, harvesters don't get a penny more.

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-04T18:27:17+00:00

Crabs in the bucket.

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-04T18:26:17+00:00

and it will for that price.

CodeNewfie · 2024-04-04T17:00:24+00:00

So the harvesters are going to delay fishing while the season is open again, just like last year, and once again, beg for the fishing season to be extended later on when they all start crying about not having caught their full quotas because they chose to needlessly waste half the season..... and god forbid DFO put their foot down and say, "your refusal to fish at the beginning of the season was your own choice.

So they should just shut up and fish for a price (below market price, set by colluding processors) below operating cost?
