  • New speed cameras in California city issue 82,000 tickets in a month after grace period ends

    Jump

  • Fuck ICE without a doubt!

    All I could say is any speed cameras, along with any of the existing traffic and highway cameras or neighborhood cameras are implemented in such a way that the city retains full ownership and accountability of collected data.

    There should be strong accountability and data protection for this, but city officials and common folk generally trade convenience for privacy for most things related to tech.

    I for one sure miss simple CCTV.

  • The issue is most of our roadways are designed like strodes.

    We should design streets as streets, and design roads as roads.

    Roads have no cut curbs or driveways, no parking is allowed on a road. Traffic lights and intersections are minimized and roundabouts are preferred. Roads are like low capacity highways in a sense. Trails run beside roads as opposed to sidewalks to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles.

    Streets are narrow and lower capacity, sidewalks and pedestrians are common. Street parking is allowed. Curbs and driveways are common. Speeds are low and intersections are other signalized or stop signs are used.

    This is a strode:

  • This would be how you take a strode and turn it into a actual street with proper.

    Keep in mind though, the above is payed for by tax payers, i.e. all citizens regardless of if they speed or not, or have a car or not.

    A camera is payed for ideally by the speeder, and any extra "revenue" should then go to the redesign of said streets, roads, and roadways.

  • You know speed cameras actually do reduce the speed of traffic.

    On top of that they only negativity affect those that speed (with fines). Where something like a speed bump effect both speeder and non-speeder.

    Streets and roads were speed cameras were installed in my neighbor actually became more pleasant to drive, walk, and cycle on. No more speeders tailgating others for example.

    Now yes your point is valid that a portion of the cash collected from speeders goes to pay for said cameras, but keep in mind it's the speeders that are paying and not non-speeders or taxpayers.

  • Canada vows to amend Bill C-22's encryption and metadata rules amid massive tech backlash

    Jump

  • If you can, send a email to voice your opinion regarding bill C-22.

    If you oppose this bill you can. Use the follow template as a start.

    Subject: Say NO to Bill C-22!

    Hello Gary Anandasangaree

    I'm writing to ask you to oppose Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, and call on the government to withdraw it entirely.

    Bill C-22 would require internet providers, messaging platforms, and cloud services to build and maintain surveillance capabilities inside their own systems — capabilities that create serious security risks for every Canadian. We already know what happens when governments mandate these backdoors: state-backed Chinese hackers exploited similar loopholes in the United States in 2024's Salt Typhoon attack, compromising millions of people's private communications.

    C-22 doesn't just replicate those vulnerabilities: it greatly expands them. It would compromise a much wider range of digital services. And it does something that compromises everyone's safety and protection privacy both online and in-person further: companies would be forced to store a full year of metadata about every Canadian — records of where we go, who we contact, and when we did it — without us ever having been under investigation. Everything from which family members you talked to, conversations with your therapist, if you talked with your lawyer potentially exposing what you discussed.

    The limited safeguards C-22 contains are both overly narrow, and are compromised by a clause that lets future governments reinterpret basic terms like "encryption" and "systemic vulnerability" by future regulations, with no parliamentary debate required. That means the very limited protections in this bill are only as strong as the government decides they are, on any given day.

    Bill C-22 cannot pass in its current form. Please join me in calling on the government to withdraw it in full.

    Sincerely, Your name here Your address here with postal code

    Also Nextcloud chat is something that you could self-host. Though if this bill does pass I guess hosting this would make you a criminal as soon as it does.

  • How would you expose Jellyfin securely without a vpn?

    Jump

  • I too would like to know more. Jellyfin has been something that I am still hesitating to expose online without a VPN.

    I have Plex behind a reverse proxy (HAproxy) with Crowdsec and firewall rules all behind Cloudflare. My firewall rules in HAproxy block access a few different ways, like if request are higher then 60 requests a second, or if there is strange path traversal. Used the following guide as a start.

  • This just in, Canada post and other mail providers will now be opening all envelopes and packages sent. All contents will be scanned or photographed and held on file for 2 years time, and released to relevant authorities upon request of investigation. To make things easier please do not seal packages or envelopes for easier and more convenient access.

    All photos and scanned documents will be held in a highly secured database with easy backdoors access!

    Pretty much the equivalent in terms of what Canada wants to implement with access to signal chats, VPN logs, and asking ISPs to keep logs for 1-2 years minimum.

    Somehow our politicians don't seem to see the similarities between sending a message online vs sending a physical envelope in the mail. Also, in both cases a person could encrypt their messages/letters if they choose leaving regular folks with less security.

  • How convenient

    Jump

  • Generally when approaching a intersection on a red light you should stop the car so that you see the white line at the top of your hood. This allows you to also see the painted crosswalk and any pedestrians in the crosswalk (no matter their height) when sitting in your car.

    If it's a two lane or more roadway it also has the added benefit of letting the driver to your right see pedestrians more clearly if they are making a right turn.

    The person in the car furthest right can now pull up and have their wheels touch the white line (if turning right) and not have to block a crosswalk, while having a full unobstructed view of the intersection to the left, it also allows a pedestrian crossing to see the car in the far right line as they approach the end of the intersection.
