Generally, yes. However, depending on how you get internet, it might be much more difficult to change an IP.

On cable, there is no guarantee that restarting your modem/router will change your IP. Lots of cable ISP have the policy to reassign the same IP as long as the DHCP lease can be renewed.

There are tricks like trying to unplug the modem for a long time, or change enough of its configuration/reset it to get a new lease. Or use a separate router that can change its MAC address.

Even if dynamic, some people can be “stuck” with the same IP for a while. In my case I can have the same one for months.

EDIT: I nearly deleted this comment.

Bah, sound quality is just okay. It’s fine for podcasts and electronic without bass, but it’s kind of annoying for some types of music.

It works but… meh.

Headphones on a bike are illegal in my province. So I once bought a bluetooth speaker for my bike. I don’t really like imposing my music to anyone and tried to keep it at a minimum level but stills didn’t like it. So now I use bone conduction headphones. Unfortunately they are also in a grey area where they could also be illegal.

In short, if you want to listen to music on a bike here, your only legal option is a speaker. Anything else is unsafe and could traumatize a poor car driver that hits a cyclist that didn’t hear them coming (according to the police here).

Otherwise get a car and blast the music with the windows open like a normal safe person. or close the windows and don’t hear anything around, but this is much safer than having headphones while cycling, obviously.

Same with walking or jogging with headphones. Are you out of your mind? Some poor car driver could hit reckless runners jumping in front of their car because they couldn’t hear it coming.

No, society wants everyone not in a car to keep quiet and don’t ruin their silence, with all the soothing car noises, so it’s safer this way. No headphones on a bike, it’s not safe! You need to hear that car blasting music that’s coming at you.

I was going to say that I did last year but it was on a different community.

I’ll go take a short hike and make a post a bit later.

That’s me, kind of. I work in IT and it’s difficult to pry me away from a computer or a smartphone. However I love cycling and camping so depending where I go, I often want to bring a computer or a second smartphone.

The laptop is usually a bad idea while bike touring and I don’t use it often, so I stopped trying, unless it’s a cabin. But my old phone is perfect as a second screen while I use my main one to browse lemmy and stuff like that.

I’m currently typing this from my camp site in a national park. I cycled 80 km to get here and after a short hike, I’ll be back to my camp site for a small fire and chill with my phone, and probably some raccoons.

As someone that had to learn English as a second language, that man has a strikingly limited vocabulary for someone that’s supposed to have it as his native language.

Someone should make a list of his greatest hits, like nasty, and disgraceful.

Walk?! Like animals? Don’t you have cars and drive thrus?

The rural region where I grew up has always been neglected by big telcos, so there were multiple local ones offering the same as the big ones, but for cheaper, or deep in the countryside.

Every village had its local phone company because Bell didn’t think they were profitable enough to deserve service. Unfortunately the last independent provider, Maskatel, was bought by Bell in 2018.

There is only one left, Cooptel, and it’s a cooperative. This is how my parents living on a rural road can get FTTH. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s a cooperative, Bell would probably have bought it too.

It’s frustrating to see that big telcos won’t put a cent into building a network into rural areas because they see no profit in it, but once a small local company becomes successful in doing that, they often end up being bought by big telcos.

Oh I’ll continue to say it because it depends where. In this specific case it was indeed the case. However my riding had 99% chances to go to the Liberals, it did, and my vote wouldn’t have made any difference.

Pretty pathetic to hope to impress children with a truck. In fact, just trying to impress people with a vehicle tells me all I need to know about that person.

I’m sure Donald Trump never watched porn. He only hanged a bit with Epstein. And grabbed them by the pussy. And paid to sleep with a porn actress. But surely he never watched porn.

Bah pour le bruit ça dépend beaucoup d’où on habite physiquement plutôt que de la ville ou la campagne. Dès qu’on est un peu proche d’une artère, à Montréal ou à Acton Vale, on entend des chars boostés, des motos pis des jeunes qui aiment faire entendre qu’lis ont un moteur. Sans oublier les sirènes des véhicules d’urgences. Parfois aux quelques minutes certains jours.

J’aime bien habiter à Montréal. Je m’y sens beaucoup plus en sécurité comme piéton et cycliste, surtout sans virage à droite au feu rouge. Mais j’habite dans une tour au centre-ville et le bruit… aah le fucking bruit. Il passe un 🚒, et deux 🚒, klaxons, klaxons, trois 🚒. Quelques minutes plus tard 🚑. Puis deux heures plus tard 🚓, 🚓, 🚓, 🚓. Une autre 🚑 après une heure. C’est comme ça tous les jours. L’hiver il y a les sirènes de déneigement à ajouter par dessus ça. La situation serait évidemment différente si j’habitais sur une avenue dans Rosemont. Il y aurait encore les sirènes de déneigement, mais beaucoup moins de véhicules d’urgence.

En fait j’ai aussi habité sur une rue passante à Acton Vale (la route 116) et au centre-ville de Saint-Hyacinthe, et c’était bruyant aussi. D’autres rues plus reculées étaient plus calmes. D’expérience, la tranquillité de l’endroit où on habite va pas vraiment avec la ville, ni même la campagne, mais plus avec le niveau de circulation et la quantité de véhicules qui passe directement devant chez nous. D’où l’idée d’essayer de réduire leur vitesse et leur nombre dans les petites rues. Et malheureusement le MTQ a évidemment pas ce but en tête, même dans les villes, ou petits villages.

Ça fait penser au niaisage des étatsuniens sur les genres des élèves aux toilettes, mais nous c’est le vouvoiement et les cellulaires. Ou une charte des valeurs.

J’aimerais ça traiter Drainville d’incompétent mais il semble très bien savoir ce qu’il fait pour éviter de travailler sur du constructif et utile. C’est un exemple parfait de personne qui “fail upward”.

In a twist of irony, I don’t think people buying Swasticars care about the environment. They probably say they do, with the electric car and all, but it’s just a convenient excuse.

I’ll entirely believe them if they have previous Tesla models, but anybody buying that “truck” would have to be pretty naive not to see what’s going on.

Also, your sentence could apply to a lot of other car makes right now.

The Magic School Bus was my first voluntary expositions to English. I grew up in Québec, in a town near the border with Vermont/NY. We didn’t have cable and one of the ways for me to see more cartoons and learn English was to tune the TV to channel 57, PBS Plattsburgh, and watch some Magic School Bus. I don’t know why, maybe because it wasn’t cartoons, but I was not a fan of the other shows on PBS.
