How to identify Canadian food - 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?

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?

Geopolitics community is just a propaganda outlet

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?

Seasonic Vertex P series - super delayed?

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?
