I was talking about the packaging, not the brand. However setting my VPN exit node to a US location and looking up pictures of the product, most results do indeed have the same English-French labelling, funny.

Funny how my brain recognizes Canadian packaging before I consciously register the bilingual labelling.

Age might be a factor though. Recently I found a stash of floppies from around 2002, which were definitely good when they were stored. I think I was eventually able to extract only about 20% of the data.
No clue who Frank Castle is, but Castle Frank is an area and a subway station in Toronto.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Are english-speaking canadians americans now? This is unacceptable
1·1 month agoI think what OP is complaining about is the use of the term “Senate” without clarifying that it’s in fact the United States Senate. Although it’s pretty clear from context if you know anything about world affairs.
A Canadian public broadcaster should use the term to refer to the Senate of Canada, unless specified otherwise. I don’t think we should have a Senate, but we do, and as long as we do that is The Senate.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada's Open Source Future Begins Here: The Canadian Open Source Library is Live
24·1 month agoVery nice initiative. However it seems that it is a library of links, not code.
Most/all source is hosted on GitHub. It would be cool if this library can host the actual repositories.
I’m proud to be incompatible with Apple

I do for work but not for my self hosting operation, I don’t think it makes sense at least in my case. My recommendation is not to use full disk encryption on a home server, but to encypt specific directories as needed (I use fscrypt on an ext4 file system).
That was a good and informative video. I wonder whether 2037 is realistic for the Ottawa-Montreal.

Really not sure it’s a good thing. I’m all for supporting Canadian businesses, but VPN is one area where it makes less sense. Even without Bill C-22, don’t shit where you eat.
