Three new flavours of Farm Girl cereal: Made in Canada by a Canadian company in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I found another cereal - Made Good has this "crispy light granola cocoa crunch" that's usually in the organic section, by the granola, but it's definitely just straight up cereal. It's weirdly not on their website either. I've tried a few flavours and they're fine. If you go into it expecting granola, you're going to be disappointed, so think of them more like a cross between rice krispies and granola....

I tried the chocolate banana flavour and it's OK too. The banana bits are really more like marshmallows, so again, manage your expectations lol.

As a bonus, I also discovered Jordan's granola is made in the UK by a UK company, so that's another alternative if you're just trying to avoid US products.

The graph of news headlines about the real estate market is the same graph lol. They recycle the same narrative every year.

US Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs, ruling them illegal - Canada (and other) tariffs set to end in 10 days. in c/[email protected]

How come half the time you write in broken English, and the other half with sweeping paragraphs of perfect English? But it always ends with Russian propaganda like the west is forcing Russia to defend itself by invading their peaceful neighbour, Ukraine. (I guess the irony of saying that in this particular thread is lost on you...)

Alright that's a fair take

Overly simplistic take. We don't deal with America as a single entity at all. Look at our tariff responses and the way we target specific Republican states.

I'm not saying you need to go out and spend all your money in the US, but let's not catastrophise here or play it up more than it is. I don't think American voters genuinely understood or expected most of what they're getting right now (even if they deserve it).

Drawn Monster Terrorizes The Town - SKETCH Official Trailer (2025) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Looks fun. The audio is absolute dogshit in this trailer though - it sounds like both the mixing is bad and the audio bitrate is super low (they messed up the render). Hope they got someone better to handle it for the final cut.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Looks pretty spooky! The first movie really stuck with me. The second one, not so much, but I will never forget its intro sequence with the boat. I don't think I can remember anything else about it.

Here's hoping the third one is good! Alex Garland as writer seems promising, as he wrote the original 28 Days Later.

How to identify Canadian food - inspection.canada.ca (inspection.canada.ca)
 

In a nutshell, the tiers are:

  • Product of Canada - Very best - Produced here and 98% of ingredients are from Canada.
  • Made in Canada - 2nd best - "Made in Canada means the last substantial transformation of the product occurred in Canada"

Others:

  • "Roasted and blended in Canada" to describe coffee since the coffee beans are always imported
  • "Distilled in Canada" to describe bottled water that was distilled in Canada
  • "Canned in Canada" to describe a food that was canned in Canada
  • "Processed in Canada" to describe a food which has been entirely processed in Canada
  • "Prepared in Canada" to describe a food which has been entirely prepared in Canada
  • "Packaged in Canada" to describe a food which is imported in bulk and packaged in Canada

Virtualizing my router - any experience to share? Pros/cons? (lemmy.ca)

I'm thinking about moving my router to be a VM on a server in my homelab. Anyone have any experience to share about this? Any downsides I haven't thought of?

Backstory: My current pfSense router box can't keep up with my new fibre speeds because PPPOE is single threaded on FreeBSD, so as a test, I installed OpenWRT in a VM on a server I have and using VLANs, got it to act as a router for my network. I was able to validate it can keep up with the fibre speeds, so all good there. While shopping for a new routerboard, I was thinking about minimizing power and heat, and it made me realize that maybe I should just keep the router virtualized permanently. The physical server is already on a big UPS, so I could keep it running in a power outage.

I only have 1 gbps fibre and a single GbE port on the server, but I could buff the LAN ports if needed.

Any downsides to keeping your router as a VM over having dedicated hardware for it?

Ontario to require provincial approval for new municipal bike lanes (www.cbc.ca)
 

Makes zero sense. The provincial government should stick to provincial matters instead of trying this dumb populist play to win rural votes by sticking their fingers into municipal matters.

Geopolitics community is just a propaganda outlet (lemmy.ca)
 

The sole moderator doesn't even follow their own rules: https://lemmy.ca/post/22741340?scrollToComments=true

I'll just say it - it's a Russian propaganda community. Is there any reason this community needs to exist on Lemmy.ca? Is there a rule against blatant astroturfing / propaganda / misinformation? I don't think the 5 rules in the sidebar are going to be enough to stop an army of trolls:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, > or xenophobia. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. No porn. Use the NSFW tag when needed. No Ads / Spamming. Bot accounts need to be flagged as such in their settings.

Maybe time to get ahead of it?

The 2TB is on sale too. All sizes keep going up and down on price, with this being the ATL. This was on sale for this price at the start of the week, then it went up to like $95, so who knows what the real regular price is.

Seasonic Vertex P series - super delayed? (lemmy.ca)
 

I preordered a Seasonic Vertex PX-1200 (aka. 1200P, Platinum) back in January and Seasonic told me the Vertex series would be widely available that month. It's now July and while the Gold (GX series) Vertex PSUs have been released, there's no signs that the P series ever shipped.

Anyone have any idea what's up with that? Are they actually going to ship or are they going to cancel the product line?
