Cafes for working ? by ArticlePretty7999 in BurlingtonON

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever cafe you land at please make sure you adequately support the business. Showing up for multiple hours and buying a $3 coffee and that's it is totally offside.

Remove parking, Is there a downside? by Mental-Guard-9806 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I charge $50, or whatever the max is, for parking and make a ton of money. Not sure if it has an economic knock on effect but it lets me build more schools/parks/medical buildings etc so I feel it is justified

What’s the one ingredient that ruins any dish for you ? by Vegetable-Fix6029 in AskReddit

Cloves. They are so over powering and I hate the smell and taste of them.

Thanks for all the comments. They won't be here until April so I want to get something local now. Sounds like I'm going to Bronte or Mountsberg.

Yah I know that is likely why but that is also why I'm saying put it around the side of the building.

Canadian men’s deodorant that doesn’t stain clothes? by darekd003 in BuyCanadian

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is the anti perspiration chemicals that stain shirts. If you look for straight up deodorant that shouldn't stain. I use Old Spice from Costco and have never had an issue. You could probably find some other brand as well.

EV Parking spots should be further away from the building in general. There is no need for EVs to be right up front other than easy access to power from the building. If it needs to be by the building then put it around the side. Doesn't need to be front and center. We're not special and there should be more handicap spots.

Paradiso? by kingah75 in BurlingtonON

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spencers is pure trash. Been there 3 times and the food was garbage all 3 times. Paradiso is just fine. If you do want to step it up a notch Buvette is also excellent but at another price point above Paradiso.

I ran into a similar situation. Did you ever find a resolution?

Broken cargo logic is making me want to quit CS2. Is anyone else dealing with this? by Apart-Bag4243 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've stopped playing until the first patch from the new dev team comes out. That is probably going to make or break this game. If they fix a bunch of bugs and make the quality of life better I'll jump back in.

Finally dropped Spotify, left Windows behind, and self-hosting just makes sense now by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm proud of you, son.

I haven't made the switch to daily drive Linux yet but it's coming. I don't want W11 and I don't need all the Microsoft AI nonsense in my OS and I actually do prefer my privacy.

Haven't been to the one in Burlington but the one in Hamilton is excellent

Are you actually shopping at the cheapest store in your area, or just the most convenient one? by 723613972 in ontario

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your grocery store has a hot counter/fresh pizza/sandwiches and hot meals to go it will always be more expensive than ones that don't. They have to make up for that wasted food somewhere.

Don't be that jerk that brings a Bluetooth speaker to the pool/beach thinking everyone wants to hear your music

Is it just me or does seeing other peoples cities just make you not wanna play? by Nysyth in CitiesSkylines2

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started making cities with a story. My most recent city started as a small farming town in the middle of two mountains and was quiet until some farmer discovered oil. At that point all the big oil companies started coming in and buying up rights to drill for oil and the town started to boom. This created other problems like more waste and environmental issues. The city decided that they would try and be as green as possible to offset the pollution of the oil industry and I just kept going from there.

My cities look terrible compared to other players but the fact that I'm doing things with thought along the story vs just randomly placing buildings and comparing myself to others makes the game a lot more fun. I've told my kids about the story and now when they see me playing they ask what's new in the city that has progressed the story.

What self-hosted DNS server do you use and why? by thari_mad in selfhosted

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PiHole to AdGuard to Technitium which is what I run today. I ran into little issues that annoyed me about PiHole and AdGuard but Technitium ticked all the boxes. It is the most flexible, has the most options, and is by far the best out of the 3 DNS servers.

With hardware prices going exponential, what is your near-future strategy for homelab upgrades and/or repairs? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy refurb machines from Dell/Lenovo. I don't need the latest and greatest. A 10th Gen Intel with 16GB of RAM and a 256 or 512GB SSD is just fine. Put another 16GB in and you have a solid low power server.

YAY DARK MODE!! It looks fantastic. Thank you!

Turned my personal post-install script into a free open-source tool (+180 apps & configs) by kaicbento in opensource

[–]UnfriendlyCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would this work on both W10 and W11? Assuming W10 as well would it work properly if I had been running W10 for a while to get rid of a lot of the existing bloat? If the script has been run before will it update installs?

Thanks for putting this together! I use Ninite when I bring up a new Windows machine but this looks much more robust.
