A *massive* overhaul of phys-ed, nutrition + sex-ed is underway in Manitoba. The only dedicated education reporter in MB, I've spent the better part of back-to-school season combing over curriculum (new + old) for @winnipegfreepress.com. Here's an #mbed thread with all our #wfp coverage. 1/x

I am exhausted. Renos are on-going, we're staying at my parents place while they are in Europe (lucky), and I haven't had a good sleep in weeks. But our new kitchen will be nice.

If you're wanting to move from Trakt given their API shenanigans, I started a rough little script or two that helps move your watch history from Trakt (or Tautulli) to SIMKL without having to subscribe. If you can, support SIMKL though, they are awesome. github.com/jshields-ca/... #SIMKL #Trakt

GitHub - jshields-ca/simkl-csv-converters: Python script to convert your Trakt or Tautulli data export into a strictly formatted CSV file ready for direct import into Simkl.

Another big step forward on the kitchen/hallway/pantry renovations. Demo is a lot of fun, I think @hannalittle.bsky.social would agree. 😍 She's a beast 💪

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

Building my first @grafana.bsky.social dashboard for my #homelab, and it was pretty intimidating at first... But as I start to move through building out my dashboard for my 4 machines (1 remote, 3 LAN), and start adding exporters for more data, I'm seeing it come together. My own NOC. 🤓

There was a few ants in my basement, and I don't appreciate them deciding to come in without paying rent. First year I didn't put out the stake bait for them, so I guess thats my mistake... Consider the house freshly stocked and protected.

Rail companies: We can't move outside the city, it's expensive and we already have the infrastructure. The Transcona Stockyards were ONCE OUTSIDE THE CITY, until the city was built around it. We can definitely move rail yards.

I confess, Gemini is useful to create BASH scripts to make a task easier occasionally. Like I wanted to delete all of the Japan, Europe and other non-english region ROMs from my filesystem, and I was able to make that happen far faster with a script. Things I enjoy about Linux.

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.

Line chart titled "The pace of job growth in Canada has outpaced job growth in the United States" showing cumulative percent change in employment since December 2024 for Canada and the United States. Canada's employment has grown 1.34% while US employment has increased just 0.34%, meaning Canadian job growth has outpaced the United States by nearly four to one. Canada's employment growth accelerated sharply from 0.98% in June 2026 to 1.34% in July 2026, the highest rate in the period shown, while US employment growth has remained relatively stable between 0.3% and 0.36% from April through July 2026.

Panel 1: A pink blob character in suit tells Forg “you did a good business”

Panel 2: the pink blob in suit hands forg a dollar bill. He says “here is your pay”

Panel 3: forg holds the dollar bill. The man in suit walks off the frame. He reminds forg “don’t spend it all at once”

Panel 4: we see now that forg didn’t really listen to his advice. He stands in front of a building labeled “things you don’t need store”, dollar bill still in hand ready to be spent

This CAEH report on homelessness has, I think, the right basic diagnosis but whatever your preferred mechanism I think people aren't grappling with the magnitude of the affordability problem at the bottom end of the market. caeh.ca/news/homeles...

According to the CMHC, the average annual income for Canadian renters with the lowest incomes was $19,500 in 2023. A rental price that would be reasonably affordable for those renters would be $487.50 per month: nowhere near the asking rents of new rental housing stock, and substantially lower than asking rents even for the lowest-cost units in the private rental market.

Well it took months, but I finally moved all my rough notes, copies of search queries and troubleshooting steps into my own self-hosted BookStack based wiki. So glad to finish another big task. I know that seems nuts to some, but having my own source of documentation allows my ADHD brain to rest.
