A broken man on a #Halifax pier. Just some wannabe,suppose I could do better. Middled aged Canadian, child of immigrants who can't relate to them. Attempting every day to be a good person to all walks of folks and life. I don't always succeed. Love all things computer related, admirer of engineers professional and amateurs especially. Hoping your motivation rubs off on me.

It's amazing, whenever I know I have to sit down and study up on something I don't know (Azure, .Net, C#) or not very good at, I'll do anything else and fall down rabbit holes on everything but..

Update: This has so far included trying to define my dislike for publicly presenting an #AIgenerated summaries to other people as if its their own work (directed at LinkedIn mainly, it might as well be moltbook itself), and how to setup a seemless #SSH CA for other hosts without having to throw files around.

Sorry that my overview of Bill C-22 (Lawful Access Act, 2026) was 40+ minutes long. The second half, starting here, is what I think Canadians should understand. The open internet should not be deputized to collect more information for cops and spies. https://youtu.be/tZFbTYttuN8
