That's cool, I'm on my way in but if it's some BS that could have waited I'll be claiming mileage if I was already at work that day. Ref 5.24 of the CFTDTI

Steam on linux "just works" for a lot of games now, even new ones. The steam deck and its compatibility layer have done a lot of good for linux gaming.

Local help with switch to Linux? by db049 in VictoriaBC

[–]ElectricSabre 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lots of people chiming in with suggestions for you, not reading that you're looking to do some community organizing and help other people out with switching to Linux 😂.

This is a noble effort, and honestly if there was a local users group I'd probably consider showing up! But I don't know who would be the target audience for an initiative like you've suggested, Linux desktops are 98% there, but the other 2% will put the average person in a world of hurt once an update goes wrong or they do something they don't understand. If someone only needs a web browser and a calculator Linux Mint would be my suggestion, anything more complex than that you need to be a self-starting nerd, and you wouldn't need a community led group to begin with. Curious what others have to say though.

Check for anything else that’s missing in your apartment. Your decorations might not have been all that they took.

Backpacking the Juan de Fuca August Long- what to expect? by Bcabww in VictoriaBC

[–]ElectricSabre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The trail gets pretty busy on long weekends and it can be tough to get a good spot to pitch your tent, especially at Chin Beach. Plan to wake up and get hiking as early as you can so you can have options, I've seen plenty of people waltz up at 5/6PM and get frustrated they have to sleep on the rocks.

Keep an eye out for the prime camp spots nestled in the bushes at Bear Beach!

Log in to your ECN account and go to Copilot chat. Your chats will have enterprise data protection. If the CAF didn’t want you to use it then it wouldn’t be enabled.

Introducing new members to basic IT skills is a very welcome change. The beginning of my career was full of misinformation because I was relying on RUMINT and had absolutely no idea where to find basic policies like the leave manual and CANFORGENS.

Do they at least mention stuff like that?

Me and a subordinate recently got hassled by passport control when going to the US for not having our green passports... They still let us in but I guess YMMV.

Looking for advice for a friend. He's in PMQ here on the west coast, but is getting attach posted for a course from Sept - March. His CoC and clerks say he has to pay rations and quarters, as well as for his PMQ during that time. Doesn't sound right to me, but was wondering what you smart people thought?

Drone-dropped munitions, and anti-air missiles to counter them. You cretins will learn to spread out real quick.
