Canada Raids Compound of QAnon-Inspired Cult Leader, ‘Queen of Canada’

The cultural curse of QAnon may have largely dissipated in the U.S., but an alleged offshoot of the cult has been festering in a remote region of Canada. This week, police say they busted the group in a raid on a compound in a small village in southwest Saskatchewan. Authorities in Canada say they arrested 17 people in the village of Richmound on Wednesday. The arrests took place at a building where the group—which calls itself “The Kingdom of Canada”—had been living for approximately two years

TCL’s New Phone Is What You Want if You Stare Too Long at Screens

Is Apple Coming for Our Homes? All the Rumored Smart Home Products Ahead of This Month's Event

For the past year, reports have made it clear that Apple is planning to release its own line of devices for smart home and home security. The only question is when.

But Apple may also make a surprise announcement about a security camera, smart display and more home tech. Could it be too early for the rumors to come true?

Hledger 1.50

Transaction balancing is now done in a more robust way, using local precisions only (like Ledger) #2402. Until now, a transaction was required to balance using its commodities's global display precisions. Small imbalances were tolerated by configuring display precisions for the whole journal (with commodity directives). Now, a transaction is required to balance using the precisions in its journal entry only. This means each entry can use the precision it needs, and balancing precision and di

How Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks

WhenWhen armies invade, hurricanes form, or governments fall, a Wikipedia editor will typically update the relevant articles seconds after the news breaks. So quick are editors to change “is” to “was” in cases of notable deaths that they are said to have the fastest past tense in the West. So it was unusual, according to one longtime editor who was watching the page, that on the afternoon of January 20th, 2025, hours after Elon Musk made a gesture resembling a Nazi salute at a rally following Pr

Ask HN: Gandi is holding my domain hostage. What can I do?

The short version of the story is that I was on a two-year internet hiatus. During that time my Gandi account with a decade-old domain name got locked. I have been emailing back and fourth with their Abuse department for the better part of a week and they’re slow-walking me at best. I had assurances from the CEO, who I reached via text, that if it wasn’t resolved today to text him back. He has now gone dark on me. I used to love Gandi, but they’re holding my domain name hostage. This doesn’t s

Onion CEO Ben Collins Hasn't Given Up on Print—or Buying Infowars

Ben Collins made a big bet. A year ago, just a few months after he’d been named CEO of The Onion, he relaunched its print edition. Once a favorite on university campuses, The Onion hadn’t published a physical issue since 2013. Common wisdom said that readership, and advertising dollars, just weren’t there for newspapers. But Collins, a fan of the satirical paper since childhood, thought “that’s dumb.” Readers celebrated The Onion’s relaunch and the ability to read all of its bitingly funny head
