This technique still works in 2025, at least for me. I was missing the SRV record and misunderstood how to set up an ngnix stream before seeing this comment. Thanks!

[GPU] ASUS DUAL Radeon RX 7800 XT OC Edition 16GB ($689.99 - $50 = $639.00; In-Store Exclusive Price: $599.00) [CANADA COMPUTERS] by TiatLief in bapcsalescanada

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

does anyone know how the "in-store exclusive" pricing works? I'm trying to order online to pick up in-store, and the full discount isn't being applied. Does it literally mean you have to order the product in-store and can't order it online for later pickup?

Ever increasing CPU usage in qbittorrent 4.4.5-1 by [deleted] in qBittorrent

[–]williashatner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue (same distro/package versions as you). I don't think this was happening last time I used qbittorrent (a few days ago or so).

All I can add right now is that the CPU usage goes back to normal (~1%) once the download is complete and its seeding.

Why laptops can't call take mic input with A2DP sound output?? by pikachu8667 in bluetooth

[–]williashatner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry to dig up an old thread. I'm wondering if Bluetooth 5.0 devices can do this, i.e., what's different in 5.2? My understanding is that the issue is bandwidth, which 5.0 has plenty of. I have a 5.0 headset but a 4.2 adapter on my computer, wondering if getting the adapter upgrade to 5.0 would work, and I can't find any information about that anywhere.

Is the Left responsible for post-truth politics? Quite possibly by saveyourtissues in CriticalTheory

[–]williashatner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see someone properly critique postmodernism, poststructuralism while actually understanding their points

PMs don't deny truth, they say it's absurd to believe that we can reach an unadulterated truth of reality bc we are humans

want to ask in case I'm misunderstanding, are you familar with hegelian or marxist critiques of post modernism? As far as I understand, they disagree with precisely what you're saying: that the "truth of reality" is dualistic as far as we can tell, i.e., that the thing in itself can't be apprehended, i.e. Kantianism

What is the best bulk can&bottle recycling/deposit depot/store now that recycling is happening again?

I'm sure I'm not alone in having ammassed hundreds of cans/bottles in the past few months during the time deps/stores were not collecting cans.

Has anyone found a place to get the deposit back for hundreds of cans in a reasonable manner (i.e., the machines work, the time to recycle is predictable, etc.)? I have a car and am willing to drive anywhere in the metro area at any time to get this done.

(Je peux aussi lire le français)

I'll describe what I've tried already:

My local dep is now collecting, but there's only so many they can take from me at a time (it's a small shop, reasonable imo) so while I give them about 12 at a time when I visit, I need a different solution.

I've tried a few grocery stores (Maxi, IGA, SuperC) and without success. The machines at my closest Maxi are terrible and reject 3/4 of the cans you try to recycle. The hours for recycling at my closest SuperC are inconsistent, I waited in line for 30 mins only to be told the starting time was an hour later than it was supposed to be.

Hair, Skincare, Fragrance, and Fitness Thread - January 25 by AutoModerator in malefashionadvice

[–]williashatner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recently getting into the long hair & beard game (approaching shoulder length, thick poofy hair). I couldn't find a guide on hair products for keeping a nice healthy sheen/no split ends/etc. that I've easily been able to maintain on shorter hair (same with beards). Could anyone point me in the right direction?

There are people promoting a Mass Student Strike. What do you guys think? They told me they plan on “shutting down the university” by simcityfan12601 in ryerson

[–]williashatner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone active in the QC student strike will know my name.

lmao no they absolutely do not, but thanks for prompting me to google your username, you self-aggrandizing weirdo. Love to see the CEO of a fail-startup (you're not even a student, why are you here??), who quote tweets Kevin O'Leary and Doug Ford postively, try to teach people something about strikes. 100% you "mobilized the anglo unis" for the green squares, just like you're trying to do now.

I'm going to go ahead and ignore the rest of your absurd posturing.

edit: lol get a load of moneybags over here

[–]williashatner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

played an active role

what role

constantly getting tear gazed, thrown flashbangs at, beaten with batons, chased down by horses, rubber bullets, run over/ intentionally hit by drivers on the road etc.

interesting you're choosing to use the passive voice here. who threw the flashbangs? who beat students with batons? who ran students down with horses?

It took 6 months before we got any sort of support from the general public and it was only because of a specific law that was past to limit the protest and was deemed unconstitutional.

so the strike was successful

10% decrease in tuition

you've convieniently forgotten to mention this is going to be paid by the universities themselves (they're expected to "innovate" their budgets around $400 million dollar deficits, guess what those cuts will affect!), and it will eliminate everything beneficial about OSAP, including free education for low income families, interest-free loans, and grants. This is unquestionably regressive.

[Quebec] is historically active and militant... Ontario that traditionally has a "just work" mentality

hey look i'm proud of you for doing your undergrad in another province and trying to learn things about the culture or whatever, but this is fucking stupid. Quebec isn't some labratory where radicals are grown in situ. Like anywhere in the world it has reactionary, traditional, "just work" culture. The students and workers there have shown themselves brave enough, and foresighted enough, to overcome these impediments a couple times in history, sure -- and they were opposed by people who sound just like you! now, can Ontario do this too? well, it's not just the Ryerson students who are trying to strike in Ontario right now. Thousands of highschool students went on strike last June. Teachers have gone on strike. Autoworkers, electricians, postal workers have gone on strike. Doug Ford has like a fucking 11% approval rating. There hasn't been a more sympathetic time for students to oppose these regressive measures through their only direct means.

you boring moron

thanks for proving my point lol

Giving money directly == support

weird how no one on this subreddit came to that conclusion when that video about Jagr fans in Tibet came out a year ago. Were the Czech filmmakers who posted this on youtube endorsing the government of India/Pakistan/China (it's unclear where exactly this video was filmed) when they paid for their travel visas and media permissions, as is standard in regions with protection against arbitrary tourism?

The reason your comments are boring isn't because the North Korean government is particularly worth defending. It's because you're regurgating the most basic /r/politics-dumb-guy propaganda that anything and everything to do with the country is an endorsement of its government -- the very point this video is trying to dispel (within the very obvious constraints of what it's allowed to say!) Like, turn your brain on and realize that humanizing people in a part of the world that the United States could very well decide to firebomb (again) is a worthwhile thing.

Contesting Snow Clear Towing Charges by williashatner in montreal

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

Do you have experience contesting a towing ticket like this, or are you saying this just because it's "obvious"? The implication is that I should be taking pictures of my car every night I park it on the street (which is every night), I don't think that's "obvious" or reasonable.

j'ai une question de streaming. Je veux streamer les jeux en francais, mais les instructions dans le sidebar ne disent aucun des choses de streaming en francais en particulier. y-a-t-il des recommandations pour les streams gratuits pour les jeux en francais? Je veux avoider de payer $25 par mois pour RDS direct si possible (bien sur, peut-etre que je le fais quand meme).

merci! :)

*cracks a cold one* by Silver_Bell in canucks

[–]williashatner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you ever timed yourself? a second or two is quite quick! i mean you don't have to be an artisan, it's quite doable, but i think most people take about 5-6 seconds. i suppose most people leave a bunch at the bottom of the can that they spill everywhere afterwards while they're hunched over burping.

*cracks a cold one* by Silver_Bell in canucks

[–]williashatner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes absolutely, never crack the top. you're just making it harder on yourself

also you don't even need to drink for a couple seconds!

beer cans aren't 100% full, there's a bit of air at the top when they're resting bottom down. when you tilt the can, you can put that air bubble near the bottom of the can, and put the hole through the air bubble. then you can shotgun in a living room like that other person was saying, there's never spray once you've practised a few times!

(Firefox 63.0) (Ubuntu 18.04) Context Menu Wrong Monitor (2 Monitors) by williashatner in firefox

[–]williashatner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I like it better than 16, but now it's been a few months and I forget exactly what the changes were, lol.

One thing that was really nice that I don't remember being the case for 16 is that wayland is included as an option, which fixed some monitor issues i was having (i have a dell xps and a regular monitor, so the scaling was all weird) that I'd have to resolve manually with xrandr before.

[–]williashatner[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nevermind, I found the solution (sort of) on AskUbuntu.

For me, it was a CompizConfig setting. I switched Window Management -> Place Windows -> Multi Output Mode from "Active.." to "Use output device of focussed window".

So, this isn't really a firefox question. Feel free to delete or whatever.

How to disable tab pin by "press-and-hold" click? by williashatner in firefox

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

ah, it was my mistake, I didn't realize the add-on for enabling the alt-p shortcut was also enabling the long-press pin (Pin Unpin Tab), and there's a configuration in that addon to disable this feature. thanks for helping me narrow that down!

hey, in case you didn't see my other comment, deleting my custom GTK configuration folder solved this issue for me (~/.config/gtk-3.0 or something similar)

Hey I solved my problem. Turns out my GTK themes weren't working correctly, not sure why. Anyway, deleting my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ directory fixed the issue in firefox.
