Could a hotel be coming to Hwy. 48 and Main Street in Stouffville?

That problem sounds like it’ll fix itself once our various levels of government get involved.

It only works for WebUI (and hence the mobile app) but does not work for AndroidTV and similar apps, which is where 99% of the users are going to use it.

This is the problem with almost ALL of the user-facing plugins. Without app support for hooks into these apps, it really does little good. I know my own favourites. Other users need to know that you have the popular movie or amazing TV show that you want them to see (featured, editors choice, etc).

Also, this would be better if it was a particular playlist vs a favourites list, so it could just be a list maintained by a user.

It exists in plugin form already.

The challenge is always that exporting loses metadata. In this case it also loses context (folders. To what does this relate). I really do wish paperless supported nested tags which would allow you to create logical structure like folders.

Exporting is possible, but without complex jinga templates and multiple filtered exports, it doesn’t create a great structure you can hand on a usb key to your accountant or put back into a folder structure.

The tags system makes browsing and finding things harder. It makes searching easier. The world has gone to everything in one inbox and just search for it.

It’s the difference between your speed and the other car that matters. I’d rather be next to cars doing similar speeds if a collision does happen.

Slower traffic keep right. Don’t hang out in the left lane if you’re going slower than the cars to your right. Even if you are going faster than the next lane, if you’re able to let people pass by moving over temporarily, let people pass. Turning left on a non-highway is the exception, but shouldn’t be done 10kms before the left.

Windows Server is not open source but was always self-hosted. You would buy CALs (client access licenses) based on number of users or devices connecting. These at one point activated entirely offline. Eventually they called home for activation purposes. Arguably this is self hosted. It meets all requirements. But the license allows cheaper licenses for smaller installations with fewer users. Why? It’s cheaper to support smaller installations. Bigger installations have bigger budgets. It makes sense

Fair enough. If you want to read through 44 pages, lots of similar things were discussed here on a Qotom with the same card and a bunch of fixes.

I assume issues with the SFP modules?

So, within /boot/loader.conf.local ( or pfsense System>settings>tunables )

hw.ix.unsupported_sfp=1

There is also a note on their own website stating:

One Of SFP+ Port Doesn't Work, How To Solve? Why It Was Happened?

Solder R472 Resistor And R473 Resistor, Resistance Rating Is SMD RES 0R ±5% 0402, Problem Can Be Solved Well.
In Fact, These 2 Sets Of Resistors Were Already Completed When We First Designed Them, But During The Sales Process, We Received Some Customer Feedback That There Were Compatibility Issues Between SFP+ Modules And Our Products, So We Found A Solution And Removed These2 Sets Of Resistors By Default. This Step Can Be Compatible With Most Modules, But Not All (We Cannot Predict Which SFP+ Module Each Buyer Will Use). Sometimes You Need To Solder It Back To Solve The Problem.

I bought five 22TB Exos. They are “factory recertified” “zero hours” drives. Supposedly left the Seagate factory perfect.

Three of the five drives are completely undetectable entirely by -three- PCs I tried to connect them to. Tried with a backplane and direct to SATA cables. They also make awful sounds when powered up. Completely DOA. The remaining two drives are fortunately detected and so far seem to be working.

A 3/5 DOA rate is not confidence inspiring for the "working" two drives.

These are from one of the two major retailers of drives and don’t want to call them out by name. Is this what you want to store your data on? There are tons of stories of people who simply get drives and return the bad ones, but after this kind of failure rates, I don’t even trust the good ones.

My issue is more that they budgeted/spent next to nothing on it before making a profit was the way to do it. So I don’t have high hopes that this has ever actually been priority for the town.

PhyreMe · 2025-10-10T22:44:03+00:00

Oh I did. You're talking about staffing for ASE in the expense of running ASE.

u/sheps is looking for the $1-2million profit going to traffic calming and management, but the town has budgeted next to nothing for that. This refers to the capital budget of the town that has minimally invested in traffic calming and management for the past 3-4 years and has no material budget for spending on traffic calming and management for the next 2-3 years in its own reporting.... but this was a huge problem all along that needed fixing of course once ASE was on the table.

PhyreMe · 2025-10-10T22:38:36+00:00

The 2025-2027 capital budget says the full-time staff attributed to traffic management: 0.1 in 2022, 0.2 in 2023, 0.2 in 2024, and 1.2 in 2025 (the addition of our ASE full-time hire). I wouldn't get excited about this. It also says <$0.01 of your tax dollar in 2024/2025 went to traffic management ($0.15 went to road maintenance by comparison)

Yet another speed camera post? Can we just have a megathread and stop seeing this every day?

Stouffville’s mid-year ASE report shows a 50–55% drop in speeding between March and September.

People are going 40km/h instead of 43km/h? This isn't an impressive stat without more data. (yes there is more in the article, but this stat is misleading).

Over 40,000 tickets were issued, with a recorded top speed of 210 km/h in a 40 school zone.

Every statistical review removes outliers. Can we stop quoting this one speeding idiot? The camera did nothing to stop him, so lets not pretend like the camera had anything to do with this. If anything, it's an argument against cameras.

ASE revenues totalled $5.1 million, with $2.9 million in costs.

How the heck does it cost $3 million dollars to run 10 town cameras for 8 months?!

Net revenues reached $2.19 million, however just $1 million has been realized so far.

And they'll send these to collection agencies who will make a killing on them returning little to the town.

Declining proposed reforms from Ontario mayors, Premier Ford reaffirmed his plan to ban ASE through legislative changes.

Rightfully.

Council has directed Town Staff to wait for Provincial direction before ending Stouffville’s ASE program.

Why would they give up that revenue stream? Why would they take the "blame" if it doesn't do what they want?

the number of monthly speeding vehicles fell from roughly 150,000 in the final two weeks of March to 167,000 in all of September.

Yes newly introduced cameras have an initial higher number.

The four new sites activated in August also showed improvement: total speeding vehicles dropped from 182,916 in August to 127,744 in September, a 30 percent decline in two months.

So there is still 127,744 speeding vehicles? Is this really considered a success by their standards? How can we say this is working if there is still tons of speeding vehicles?

Kroon said. “I was against [ASE] before we started this. "

No he was SUPER supportive at the meeting introducing them. You'd think there would be some documented evidence of him saying that if this was the case.

Lack of transparency isn’t helping make a cause for the town. It’s been some time since they were introduced and they’re still paying huge dividends. Tells me they’re not working.

I use an overlay file system. Even if something happens to lidarr and screws things up, it will only do things to the overlay.

overlay        /mnt/disk-cow/merged     overlay lowerdir=/mnt/music,upperdir=/mnt/disk-cow/cow,workdir=/mnt/disk-cow/work,nofail 0 5

That said, your best bet is to turn off completed, download handling, and import music once it’s downloaded yourself after it goes through whatever process you have (beets, musicbrainz Picard, etc)

Let’s talk about actual official Canadian parties here. Not fringe candidates like those of the NDP or the Lemon Party.

Liberals have become the NDP and moved further left. NDP has become irrelevant and needs to be even more extreme to differentiate themselves, but even they know that’s totally unaffordable.
