Curious, do donations count as tax breaks? Or only recurring subscriptions? I also want to donate, but am waiting for more information.

We should change the laws to deal with this guy, and to provide a permanent solution.

I use Bitwarden because it's free and they support FOSS.

I do plan on trying 1Password at some point, but its expensive.

Something like this might help you setup Nextcloud via Docker, and also other services https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook

Exactly. I would connect FOSS software I have it I ever want an external AI and it was available.

Concerning a Chatbot, I really wish they had one. The best I could do is connect something like AnythingLLM, Open WebUI, Goose, Zed if they support it.

I was considering sync.com, but after seeing Facebook ads for it, I decided to not give them my money if they're going to pay for Facebook ads. I would still use them over Google or Apple Cloud though.

I would like to try Windscribe at some point, and also 1Password, whatbox.ca for seeding.

GrapheneOS is Canadian. I'm hoping to buy a Fairphone 6 at some point, and put Graphene on it

Wealthsimple Tax (free)

CohereAI instead of MistralAI whenever I can.

Qobuz is partially Quebec invested.

On Bandcamp Fridays, where Bandcamp takes 0℅ of the revenue and gives them to the artist, I include well deserved Canadian artists -- especially since I've been boycotting Ticketmaster and their large quantity of subsidary companies.

Using interac when I can. Will even message Canadian companies if I can pay via interac e-transfer instead. Its been warmly welcomed so far.

https://patrii.cloud/ has been e-transfer by default,

a bike shop in a remote province was willing to do e-transfer.

Some other hosting providers https://colocataires.dev/

Tailscale VPN is Canadian and has a free tier.

voip.ms is Canadian if you wanted a cheap phone number over voip.

I use the web app for Qobuz, and it looks and feels like a regular Qobuz app.

 

Can I interchange them with antennas from other cards? What should I look for? I have a Wifi 6e card if that helps. I'm not sure of the Bluetooth version.

My Playstation controllers on Linux are having connection drift when my in-game character will sometimes not stop moving for a bit when I move in a direction.

The seller said he replaced the Joystick with hall effect sticks so it might be fine. I think I'm going to buy it and try it out. I'm curious anyways how this will run, and it's cheap from seller that repairs them.

Side note, I like to keep ripped socks and use them for dusting the house, or as rags for cleaning.

 

I worried about potential stick drift or other broken components. Sellers advertise that there is no stick drift, but I'm not sure know how easy that is to fix, and whether to trust them.

I did not retail stores can do this with cards. I'm not even sure how knowledgeable the employees know how to do this.

 

If I have a Vanilla prepaid Visa for example, how can I max out the money I use on it. I have a $50 one for example, but when I try put $50 on my mobile service provider account, the card gets rejected.
