What are the odds of capturing a photo or video like this? Also, has me wondering if its not just Photoshop.

I doubt it would be 100% completely possible, it was more of a hypothetical thought in its self.

Knowing most services are reliant on the internet now, such a POS (point of sale) devices in stores, home phones, condo intercoms, buying airline tickets.

Its would definitely be easier to just stay away or block enshitified parts at the firewall level. Though in some cases even then I find myself using Facebook for its Marketplace only as a example.

While I do agree with your sentiment that street safety is a more complex issue that the small subset of enforcement that cameras provide, you seems to making perfect the enemy of the good.

"the installation of a camera is an admission that real safety measures are being actively ignored."

While this statement may hold true for many different examples, security cameras in a store or in a public space do provide a level of "security", similar to how a officer or a on-duty security guard may provide a level of "security" when on premise. But, crime prevention starts at the social level of a society with access to education, healthcare, housing, and meaningful fulfilling work.

North America has IMO some of the worst roadway classifications, or lack thereof. We have residential and city streets designed like throughways with six lanes of traffic. At the same time we have roads designed like streets with multiple driveways and points of conflict between pedestrians, cyclists, and cars.

Traffic calming measures are ideally the end goals with complete street redesigns to actually match the streets intended use and posted limits.

Now cycling Infrastructure such as dedicated cycling lanes and intersection's with dedicated saftey curbs ie. "bike bananas" are a traffic claiming measure. They shrink car lanes to prevent speeding, and actively promoting safer streets within cities and towns. But somehow Dougie seems to be both against traffic cameras and any type of city street redesign that negates the need for said cameras.

Now ideal the small "revenue" that a traffic camera may produce is intended to go back into the roadway its self. Where traditional tickets from a officer may go into the funding of the police department. Similarly like how NYC's congestion pricing for example, where all revenue goes back into the cities transit and infrastructure.

Mayor Patrick Brown said he’s talked with the premier. Brampton has 185 photo radar cameras deployed.

The City of Brampton has spent millions of dollars going all-in on automated speed enforcement (ASE) technology and now Premier Doug Ford says his government might ban it.

On Tuesday (Sep. 9), Ford told reporters that he wants municipalities to voluntarily remove their ASE cameras — otherwise known as photo radar — or the province might ban them.

“It’s just a tax grab. They should take out those cameras — all of them,” Ford said. “Hopefully, the cities will get rid of them … or I’m going to help them get rid of them very shortly.”

Kralt told council that the cameras had reduced average driving speeds in six study areas by between 13 and 26 km/h, while increasing speed limit compliance by up to 85 per cent.

There are two petitions currently active for and against.

A local Hamilton man has been ordered by the city to take down his security cameras that he has on the outside of his house, despite his claim that his footage has been useful in crime investigations.

Dan Myles says he has 10 security cameras outside his home on MacNab Street North in downtown Hamilton, and he says he needs them.

I have been fiddling with trying to build a Dockerfile and container for the following.

A Alpine Linix image with LFTP, cron, & openssh installed for use with my external server to sync folders.

I have a Alpine Linix VM that I connect with a external server using SSH keys, and a cron task running a LFTP script on schedule.

Any help or pointing me at a container you know of is appreciated.

Hi there!

Let's gather all those recent inspiring Home Assistant dashboards that you have been working on into one thread.

An elderly couple from Cambridge, Ont. has been living separately in the same city since 2017 – but not by choice.

Jim McLeod has been trying to reunite with his 86-year-old wife Joan, who requires long-term care, for nearly eight years.

He has been living independently at Fairview Mennonite Home, which has long-term care facilities on-site.

Joan was sent to Hilltop Manor due to health complications, which is a 25-minute drive away. Jim lobbied to have her moved to Fairview, but Ontario’s long-term care system doesn’t prioritize keeping married couples together.

The pair have friends in the building who are separated from their spouses. They want to see the Till Death Do Us Part Act become law so other couples don’t lose valuable time together.

“Unfortunately, we have seen some spouses pass away and never be unified again,” said Fife
