Pro-active law enforcement seems to have disappeared in the sourthern interior of BC for over a decade. The police either enforce the law in highly-publicized campaigns (it’s Christmas, so we’re going to pull you over…) or respond to calls from the public.

When our local internet provider (Telus) first distributed wifi routers around 2004, they didn’t turn on encryption by default. I think I made use of nodes in the “neighbour net” for about three years before the majority began setting up WEP.

Late response. I used to host radicale, but switched to MyPhoneExplorer a few years ago. I just sync from the laptop to the phone over bluetooth. It does contacts and memos as well. Reminds me of the old Palm Desktop sync.
