So… which low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite consortium should the Canadian government buy into?

Need any space arms?

Just got a cold call from OVH Canada & had a good conversation.

No I don’t usually pick up these calls, but I’ve been using a lot of OVH services.

They’re a good option for Canadian-based #ElbowsUpTech services. We buy from them at #CoSocialCa

Talking to Yurko of @hypha.coop about #ElbowsUpTech - did you know, Bell Canada doesn’t really peer connect in #Canada, so most Internet traffic is routed through the US???

Get the Canadian government to trench new fiber next to any oil pipelines they build…

Just got out of Democracy Exchange, an event in Toronto. I attended a day long workshop about improving local journalism in Canada. I definitely advocated for Canadian-run federated social media! #elbowsuptech #dxc25

We're still looking for a Canadian hosting provider that offers a managed PostgreSQL service, if anyone knows of one.

Are there any Canadian computer assemblers?

I’m looking for something like System76 or Framework (both US) or StarLabs (UK).

This won’t be fully #elbowsuptech but explaining to artists & creatives alternatives to big tech social media is part of the same theme. https://cosocial.ca/@boris/114112847090045376
