They should fold in the E911 fee as well. Any fee that's not optional is simply cost of doing business.

You don't mention your throughput requirements. How fast is your internet connection? Will you be a VPN server and/or VPN client? A reverse proxy? All that adds overhead but really not that much compared to other services. It just changes your requirements as to how many years obsolete your hardware can be.

Generally, whatever desktops or laptops businesses are throwing out in the trash will be more than enough.

If you have a managed network switch or one that can do VLANs, a router on a stick will work fine, especially if your Internet connection isn't more than half the speed of your server's network card. A repurposed laptop is perfect for this, because it has a built-in UPS and console!

I've got a 13-year-old server handling my 300Mbps internet connection, Wireguard, reverse proxy, and other stuff. It used to handle a backup internet connection, too. It's regrettably on pfSense and I'm trying to migrate it to opnSense but my setup isn't exactly by the book. I put stuff that's supposed to go out over VPN on a separate VLAN and I give them a separate OpnSense router running in a VM so there's much less chance of leakage.

One thing I did learn the hard way is that a lot of consumer "smart" devices wrongly assume to be on the same broadcast domain as any servers, clients, or peers they talk to, so even with avahi handling relaying between VLANs, they won't work. It's annoying having to move your dishwasher off the IoT VLAN just to make it work.

IBD, IBS, and Crohn's Disease need lower barriers to be recognized as requiring washroom accommodation in Canada. It's such a shame that our southern neighbours are decades ahead of us on this with the Americans with Disabilities Act codifying the need for washrooms for those who can't wait.

I dunno, mailcow dockerized seems to work ok for me. That being said, e-mail is so 20th century.

That's similar to the university residence I spent half a year in. Although signs had been made alternating sexes every floor, us students were instructed to treat them as unisex. Somehow, some of the women didn't pay attention during orientation, because I got some dirty looks when responding to my [at the time] undiagnosed Crohn's Disease.

As for this article, I hope anyone reading this can excuse the obvious position of privilege this comes from but it really just seems like the Saskatchewan legislative building didn't have men's and women's rooms per se (barring maybe the obviously discouraging and misleading signs on the doors, the much smalller room(s) being labeled 'women's'). All it had were poorly labeled unisex washrooms where no one got thr memo, and what this article is talking about is renovsting and gendering them. Anyone who excluded all others by treating the much larger room(s) as men's room(s) are no better than those who frowned upon my washroom usage during my university days. The main difference is the patriarchy is a lot stronger than a few dirty looks.

Depends on the currency and features. If you're looking for something outside of the 14 eyes that allows port forwarding, your options are extremely limited.

You're very welcome. There are a few gems that appeal to a general audience but many videos reflect the author's membership as a Missouri Synod Lutheran.

* who liberal party members elected

I would argue Justin Trudeau's leadership had a left-leaning slant, and influenced by the (sorry, don't know the word) American "vote for your leader separately from voting for your representative" system of governance, you could argue Canadians chose a left-leaning government, meanwhile liberal party members chose a right-leaning government.

It's a cunning strategy for a centrist party in power; swapping out a leader who leans one way with another who leans the other in-between general elections, just when the usual dissolution starts materializing.

Edit: Oh, shoot, I forgot about the 2025 federal election. Yes, Carney was the leader back then.

This is me when a mainline christian says there's another angel in heaven. Umm, ackchyually... Angels are non-corporeal creatures, having spirit but not bodies, and humans are corporeal creatures having both spirit and body. A human becoming an angel (a completely different species) is akin to a human becoming a lizard, or vice versa.

Come on, Patrick. Get it together, Patrick!

I'm trying to figure out what, at minimum, is missing, other than a single comma.

I've always hated wearing ribbons & pins for this very reason. There's no central authority and it leaves too much up to interpretation.
