  What’s with all the socialism happening in northeast BC lately? First a community taking ownership of an airport, now a municipality looks to build a health clinic? Bunch of Communists up there! 😂😂 #bcpoli #publicgood #publicOwnership #government #healthcare https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/fort-nelson-exploring-feasibility-healthcare-clinic-9.7392442

  The iMac did not see the USB stick, but I am not convinced the stick is actually a valid bootable install as I was building it using dd on a new machine. I will bring it to work and use target disk mode to try to get things moved onto an old iMac there as an interim. #footiMac

  Good comments here from BC Premier Eby on the way that Carney is kowtowing to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and “rewarding bad behaviour" by doing pipeline and carbon emission deals just with Alberta while setting "national policy”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me9CmOLjhFw&t=178s #CanPoli #CdnPoli #ClimateEmergency

  Congrats to Mayor @silas and the @TownofGibsons for their restoration of the Persephone! It was the little work boat on The Beachcombers. Such a great show. I used to watch it all the time. Pretty cool that BC Ferries contributed $25,000 to the restoration as well. But the amount of hours required to restore it would have been enormous! #BC #History #TV #Canada https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/where-is-the-persephone-boat-in-gibsons-9.7207444

  TIL Nova Scotia makes wine!? Miss California? nope. ”I think we're making some gorgeous, gorgeous wines here in Nova Scotia and so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Nova Scotia wine," said Reynolds, who used to work for the provincial wine association in the early 2000s. “"I think some Ontario wines are fabulous and British Columbia wines, if you can get your hands on any of them, are gorgeous, so I don't think we're losing much by giving up Ca...

  I would prefer if they were on a smaller island, maybe Cortez or Texada. Pay the existing residents to go on vacation for the next 45 days… P.S. yesterday I was told about a hantavirus related anti-semitic facebook post from a person who I would have pre-COVID considered a good person. The COVID Pandemic and Facebook have really really destroyed people's minds and brought out the worst in many. :( https://cheknews.ca/b-c-s-provincial-health-officer-to-provide-update-on-canadians-retu...

  When an “old boy” thinks he can "SLAPP” a sexual harassment accusation made on a Facebook group... but then... FAFO bites. "A B.C. mayor's lawsuit against a resident who claimed the mayor had sexually harassed a local resident has been dismissed by a B.C. Supreme Court judge who found sufficient evidence that the sexual harassment did in fact happen.” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-mayo-defamation-suit-9.7195913 #BCPoli #Defamation #SexualHarassme...

  As promised, I have implemented the suspension/block on mastodon.cloud. Folks on #SocialBC will not be able to interact with accounts on that server. This was done due to ongoing issues with spam and un-moderated user additions from that un-regulated and defunct server. The negative impact should be minimal as very few people followed accounts there or vice versa. #MastodonCloud #FediBlock #Fediverse #moderation #OpenInstance

  Almost Victoria Day Long Weekend! ie. the “unofficial" start of the summer travel season. So that means, BC Ferries news! 😂 This is a good article with good data. The takeaway for me: there is a big old boat deficit at BC Ferries. IMO a) it *should* be fixed. b) all new ferries should be 100% electric ready. c) electric terminal infrastructure starting *now*. d) time to look at fixed links where possible. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-ferries-deep-dive-2026-9....

  Missing Person. Clement. He is Indigenous. 5’5”. Black hair brown eyes. "He was wearing a black ball cap, dark blue puffy vest, grey long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, black runners and wearing a black backpack and a lanyard with possibly an ID holder at the end.” May have taken the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver or Nanaimo to Vancouver on Sunday or this week. https://albernivalleynews.com/2026/04/30/missing-victoria-man-may-have-headed-for-the-ferry-mainland-say-police/ #Missing #BC...

  Great news for travellers to the Island, #PortAlberni, #Tofino #Ucluelet, and the West Coast! #Tseshaht :cisaaath: #Hupacasath :hupacasath: and #Huuayaht :huuayaht: are partnering to build the first new hotel built in Port Alberni since the Best Western Barclay in 1980! It'll be a Wyndham microtel similar to the one just north of Ladysmith with a small pool and waterslide. It will be located next to #BCHwy4 at Walmart. https://albernivalleynews.com/2026/04/22/port-albernis-first-new...

  "The Americans are setting conditions before negotiations begin," said one high-ranking individual familiar with the matter. Three sources used the term "entry fee" to describe concessions the U.S. administration is seeking before formal trade talks begin. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/washington-demanding-entry-fee-from-ottawa-before-trade-talks-sources-9.7172340 #CanPoli #CdnPoli #USA #CUSMA #USMCA

  Ever since I got my home router and put the Telus/ISP service on "bridge mode" I have been getting a constant merry-go-round of IP addresses that I think has been wrecking havoc with my home lab and wifi. This morning I woke up to no internet connection because the IP had changed yet again to an entirely different subnet. Everything eventually came back on its own. Currently on support-chat with Telus to try to get a Static IP. We'll see if I can convince them... #IS...
