I would recommend Questrade. It will do everything you need and way way more. Super low fees, good support, based in Canada. I’ve been investing with them for nearly 20 years.

Pi.dev with Qwen3.6 running on a modest 6GB GPU is actually working pretty well for me. For smallish well-scoped agentic code tasks.

Telus’ existing KIDC Kamloops data centre holds up to 12,500 GPUs and is capable of generating up to 25 megawatts of power. Its M3 Vancouver facility will be of similar scope, with 13,000 GPUs planned and an output of 26 megawatts. Its downtown location, however, will scale significantly higher, housing more than 50,000 GPUs at a facility capable of generating up to 100 megawatts of power.

This wording has to be a mistake. Datacentres don’t generate power. They consume it.

I like FullHost. They were my pick when I did an in-depth review of several Canadian VPS providers last year…

SilverBullet is absolutely solid, with a simple and elegant architecture. SPA app, offline support, flat file backend, etc. Highly recommended.

I tried SilverBullet and it was really good and really neat, but not for me. Now I’m using Obsidian, which is easy enough to self host, but the company that makes it is small and indie and I decided to support them with a subscription.

I also switched to Asahi Linux 5 months ago. After decades of being an Apple fan, they are most unappealing these days.

Is this working? Mine always gets reset to 100% after each reboot.

Edit: According to this post this is supposed to be fixed as of the latest update from a few days ago. Yay!

Toshy is an interesting piece of software that remaps keys to Macintosh conventions.

Fascinating article! Thanks for posting.

I've been running my own email server for 15+ years. One year ago I needed to change VPS providers and thus get a totally different IP. I worried about this a bit, but actually had no issues whatsoever. Of course, I wasn't starting completely from scratch as I had the same domain, all my personal experience, and a battle-tested configuration for docker-mailserver. But yeah, the lack of IP reputation itself didn't seem to be an issue at all. Maybe I got lucky. Or maybe it's because I chose a relatively small Canadian VPS provider rather than one of the global cloud giants (I assume their IP address space gets pretty trashed with scammers).

Oh this is one to watch! Thanks for posting. I'm currently running docker-mailserver (which is quite mature and stable) but xmox looks very interesting.

 

I rediscovered the joy of my own music collection by quitting Spotify and switching to self-hosted Navidrome.
