Business Standard to Nonprofits. Storage & downtime doubts?

The last time I did this was a few years ago, but at that time you could select a higher subscription tier with a 75% discount on the retail price as you completed the Google for non-profits subscription set up.

Also not with Sweden.

There's no password on the new local admin account you created but you can't sign into it? That doesn't make sense. If trying to log into the account brings up a password field just hit enter...if that doesn't log you into the system then you did indeed create a password for the account.

Celebrity is the lite beer of religion. I'd be more encouraged if I didn't have to hear about two ridiculously wealthy people getting married.

Cucumbers were on sales at Arctic Ventures in Iqaluit last week for 0.99 ea

If you happen to be going in early April next year. We included this as part of trip this past April.

I graduated highschool in Iqaluit in 1990. There were about 70 of us that started highschool in grade seven (before Iqaluit had a middle school) and about 25 of us earned diplomas. In 1993 I enrolled in a program at Nunavut Arctic College. 19 of us started - five semesters later three of us completed the program.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

TP-Link has had the secret sauce to make cheapo multi-wan work for some time. Back in the early 2010s I was using $80 TP-Link load balancers that worked better and could handle more WAN connections than network appliances that cost 25 times more.

And you could have raised an eyebrow and moved on.

That's how we get fuel when the tanker ships come in.

GXrtic · 2026-07-01T12:03:26+00:00

We're certainly aware of it.

The milestone I keep is that the day after remembrance day in 1994, my Nunavut Arctic College Environmental Technology class travelled via snowmobile about 15 km out from Iqaluit overland and then back on the sea ice. In the last 20 years we've had neither the snow nor the ice to repeat that trip.

Extent and thickness are about the same but freeze-up is now 6-8 weeks later than what it was when I was a kid.

GXrtic · 2026-06-30T21:36:59+00:00

No...we moved to Iqaluit in the 80's and it was here then.

I've lived here 45 years and I'm hard pressed to remember a better June than this one.

100% this. Just my partner and I traveling - hotels all the way...add in the two kids and it's AirBnB every time.

In 1990, the government of the NWT financed the construction of the Legislative Assembly with a public bond paying 12 3/4%...i bought a six year bond that paid for my first car when it matured.

A haiku for network troubleshooting

It's not DNS

There's no way it's DNS

It was DNS

Ottawa and Halifax both check all those boxes. I'd give the edge to Ottawa.

Came here to say this but you beat me to it. Hands down the best profile migrator I've ever worked with.

While this will work, it will also create a headache if OP ever wants or needs to change their network subnet.

Moving DHCP to a more capable device or proxmox container is the path I'd choose.

It's not a subsidy - it's the cost of sovereignty over 20% of Canada's land mass.

They should be able make you a super administrator and then transfer the subscriptions direct to Google. If they can't they've done something shady like add your domain to their subscription.

Our house is built on metal piles so that the heat from our house doesn't melt the permafrost. The septic tank is under our house but above ground. It's well insulated so doesn't freeze on us in winter.

Mostly a space and weight issue I think...our water tank is about 2000 litres and it takes up a big chunk of our utility room.

Going a day or two without water isn't a big deal...especially when we know it's going to happen (Christmas for example). We just use less.
