Without a positive vision for what Canada wants to be in a digital era, it’s likely we will continue along with what we’re doing now — being on the defensive, mitigating accelerating power that appears to be institutionally poorly understood.

The effects of Amazon on local retail is very different from the effects of Facebook on hate speech which again is very different from the effects of Google and Apple writing requirements for public health infrastructure. Lumping them together sorely misunderstands the problem and pulls everyone further down the wrong road because they’re calling it technology instead of the various topical subcomponents being impacted.

       > [[If we want to do better on the lands we live on, we have to hold onto the power that is public rather than private.::highlight]] For only then can we turn around and use it to address and do better by the shaky sovereignty we have and understand and support the sovereignties others have. Without that power, if it gets further foreclosed through technology (which is the trend we’re on), that work gets harder to do. I hope this thread — from tech to public power to sovereignty to reconciliation — is one that we can use to place work done at each part in the chain in closer relation to the next part.

       The tiny mention of [[Simply Jekyll]] in [yesterday's journal]({% link _posts/journal/2020-09-27-journal.md %}) turned into pouring all of my content into that template instead.

       Since I had to go into [[Cloudflare]] to update the IPNS link[[Documented in the <a href='https://guide.fission.codes/hosting/custom-domains/using-cloudflare-ipfs-gateway'>Fission Guide</a>::rsn]], I fixed my blog SSL issue.

       `blog.bmannconsulting.com` is still running on Netlify, and something with the Netlify certificate and the Cloudflare stuff changed.

       Cloudflare lets you generate certs, and [this blog post tells you what to paste into Netlify's third field](https://blog.millerti.me/2019/01/20/using-cloudflare-ssl-certificates-with-your-netlify-site/).

       I suspect editing the IPNS will mean that Cloudflare will mostly hang on to the cache for 6 hours or so. I [voted for the purge cache for Cloudflare IPFS Gateway on their community forum](https://community.cloudflare.com/t/add-purge-cache-button-for-ipns-cloudflare-ipfs-com-part-ii/67638).
