I get the need for them, to pay for shared building services. Strata fees pay for exercise rooms, pools, grounds maintenance, whatever. I 100% am behind them, as long as the Strata council is responsive to needs and not corrupted, but there’s the rub.

I’d generally be happier with few services and low strata fees tho.

Yeah. I’m pretty much resigned to living in our rental until we get renovicted. No kids, double income, a lot of savings… but the mortgage payments would be way more than it’s worth to have a minor upgrade. Strata payments alone are often more than our rent!

Not Vancouver. Nothing that size would go less than 2 million until you hit Coquitlam. MAYBE.

I’ve found that changing my email address works better than unsubscribe sometimes. Just change it to a tagged address and set up a filter. Shields you against future sales as well.

All the Trump emails go rbos+fucktrump now. Probably a hundred a day. Unsubscribe did not work.

Also, Canadian. Incompetent jerks.

I’ve been using rspamd for a while. It may be extensible to do token based classification like you want but it may take some work.

I’m hoping that Nebula, being run as a coop, will avoid much of that ‘growth at any cost’ mindset.

I didn’t say it was. I watch Youtube as well. Do not put words in my mouth.

This is a perfect example of someone saying “I like beans” and someone responding “WELL YOU MUST HATE TOMATOES THEN YOU NAZI LOVER” or something. :P

It can work out financially - I don’t know how they do it specifically, but suppose they put all the lifetime subs into one investment pool and used the interest on that to fund operations.

$300 can generate $20 per year for them. So I benefit by only having to pay once, and they benefit by getting a chunk up front instead of having it drip out over time.

Up front cash can also mean the ability to invest in larger things. They can put it into infra budget instead of ops budget.

Nebula is really good. I just bought a lifetime sub. Expensive but pays itself back in only a few years. Plus the creators there run it as a coop that has a takeover poison pill of some kind.

Aluminum cans are great but still use a plastic lining, so I’m not sure overall whether it comes out better. You still get microplastics.

Manual save made sense when a disk write froze the program for seconds and engaged the disk drive with sounds (which I miss a little; very reassuring) but today autosave ought to be fully expected. LibreOffice really should’ve had it on by default.

I have crowdsec on a bunch of servers. It’s great and I love that I’m feeding my data to the swarm.

[email protected], which put out a new content patch with some very nice immersion fixes this week. The new zone is very challenging.

Oh, are chocolate rations up to 60 grams now?

In fairness if you have basically unlimited thrust, maintaining a forced orbital position would be pretty cheap, you could hover as close as you want.

Using transporters for hygiene makes me think, close air support and enemy fire ought to be easier to apart. Risky move.

Totally! Been a while since they put out a new episode.

Get a tamper to pack em in a little

I met a bunch of new people on mastodon. Sometimes you gotta. :(
