  • It absolutely used to be. Whether it still is, I can only assume.

    But decades ago, there was a joke: “How can you tell if a tourist is American or Canadian? The Canadian only has ONE Canadian flag on their gear.” US folks did their best job of overdoing everything, and would plaster their stuff with maple leaves.

    For many years, another sign of a Canadian was having an item from the Mountain Equipment Co-Op. Almost everyone travelling had a jacket, a backpack, or a container with the beloved MEC logo. Then MEC got turned into a shitty for-profit company held by American vulture capitalists, and now it means nothing.

    So…yeah. At least historically, and probably now as well.










  • Passwords are in Keepass. My son knows the software because he uses it. The master password is written down as part of my estate planning. That will provide access to every account needed to my successors.

    I have a second password store with all of my questionable content. Not going to pass that on to the family. Let it all die horribly.

    Still need to move local sketchy content to an encrypted volume, without recording a password to access it. Probably this winter. I want to be ready to die by spring.
