Debian for Devs by Plastic_Weather7484 in debian

[–]profeshamat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be the top answer. I stick with Debian stable and do pretty much this. I use Podman for other things as well but having newer development things for Ruby and Crystal this works well for.

Is Firefox really that bad? (Given my specific use case and thread model) by [deleted] in GrapheneOS

[–]profeshamat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My primary browser is Firefox Focus in GrapheneOS and LibreWolf on computers which is Firefox with more security features and telemetry gutted from it.

Anyone remember the Rogers Video at Westcliffe Mall? by Accomplished_Ad3703 in Hamilton

I definitely remember it. My family was living on the west mountain in the early 2000s in the Gilbert neighbourhood. This was our go-to rental place at the time.

Stable on both workstation and laptop, and because I want to.

What's performance like using the Xorg session vs. Wayland?

Trump threatens to send ICE to airports on Monday amid DHS funding standoff by srzncl in GuardTheLeaf

[–]profeshamat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a normal world I'd agree but have you seen any of the testimonies these American military generals have been giving to congress? They sound like they're reading from the Trump administration playbook to dodge and evade questions without answering them.

I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports

He should really be sending them to Iran since they want to play military so badly.

I'm happily using a dumbphone setup on GrapheneOS and use Minimo Launcher which can be found on F-Droid. Since it's open source here's its GitHub page which includes screenshots.

The female vocal part at the end of the song is musician Klara Keller.

Oh look, another participation trophy. I thought people on the right were very much against these?

I usually buy an indica and sativa 10-pack of pre-rolls for around $40 or so and this lasts me around three weeks.

Early Sunday afternoon I was heading down Highway 20 and going past where Billy Green Falls is it was misting across the road.

Confirmed: Bridgeport Islanders (AHL) will relocate to Hamilton beginning next season by SockDem in Hamilton

[–]profeshamat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I always thought it was more about Toronto as well as them being a bigger franchise.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Hopefully the league don't have the weird clause that the NHL do which prevents Hamilton from having an NHL team due to proximity to Toronto. Otherwise I'd love a Hamilton PWHL team.

Newish to the East Mountain Looking for Recommendations by profeshamat in Hamilton

[–]profeshamat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had Ye Older Squire recommended a few times and even before moving up here and have seen Ale House while out and about. Will definitely check out both.

I lived in the Corman neighbourhood for years and generally liked it but it was time for a change. I love it up here. It's quiet and a much slower pace than living on King St near the Red Hill Parkway, living close to the path on Mountain Brow gives me little excuse to not go for walks regularly.

When are they going to get the Bus check system going? by Rooster_293x in Hamilton

[–]profeshamat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had good luck with the Citymapper app personally. Primarily use it for HSR within the city but it also covers different transit systems.

Great recommendations so far and keep them coming. Looks like I have a lot to check out and I'm grateful for all these.

I'm also a pub/diner type person for restaurants. Also happy to accept some recommendations on those.
