3/10 By 9:30 AM, the fire had closed distance. The crew began packing gear "in case they had to flee."

"Things started to turn a little worse," Neal Gillespie would later say - masterful understatement for what came next.

The call came: help with fire breaks.

The Province wants to turn Sandy Lake & BMBCL into massive housing projects. These forests are critical to communities and biodiversity. We need housing, but we need to build it where it makes sense.

Blue and white text overlaid on an aerial image of Sandy Lake in the HRM. Text reads: "No More Bull💩 Nova Scotians didn't ask for urban sprawl. Sandy Lake & Blue Mountain–Birch Cove Lakes are under threat." Blue and white text overlaid on an aerial image of Sandy Lake in the HRM. Text reads: "location, location, location...Everyone knows that we need more housing. But where and how we build matters. Using Special Planing Areas (SPAs), the Houston government has fast-tracked massive proposed housing projects in two key wild areas: - Sandy Lake - Highway 102 West Corridor (next to Blue Mountain–Birch Cove Lakes)" Blue and white text overlaid on an image of Sandy Lake in the HRM. Text reads: "a disaster for the environment...Development in these two areas would threaten crucial ecosystems. Sandy Lake: - Home to endangered Atlantic Salmon - 100+ bird species - Old growth forest, wetlands and critical habitat Blue Mountain–Birch Cove: - Mainland Moose habitat - Important lakes, wetlands and wildlife corridors - Space for recreation & connection to nature" Blue and white text overlaid on an image of Sandy Lake in the HRM. Text reads: "...and it’s not great for people either. Both sites are outside the Urban Service Boundary. That means: - Expensive taxpayer-funded infrastructure - No public transit: fully car-dependent - More traffic congestion on major highways"

Every #homelab person has at least one “trusty” server. I’ve had this guy for years.

It has run everything from FreeNas (back in the day) to Proxmox, to Ubuntu Server, to TrueNAS.

It’s a Xeon 1230v5 (Sandylake) with supermicro server motherboard and 32 GB […]
