Hopefully this will improve the sync/federation process between LW and other instances, especially those further away geographically :)

I was skeptical at first, but then I saw the option added to the menu of the breakfast place I go to. Didn't regret it, was delicious.

The combination of sweet and salty flavors, and the fluffy and crunchy textures was 👌

And leave a good classic intact.

I took it, no way I'd miss spending quality time with our newborn and be there for my wife.

The employer has some heads up that it's coming too, so they can adjust the workload for something that occurs maybe once or twice in an employee's lifetime.

But then I live in Quebec, Canada and the father can take 5 weeks and the mother can take a year. (The father can take more, but they're swapped of the mother's year).

The lesson here is to actually troll these idiots, but with stuff that lead to idiotic laws so inconvenient that even their voter base will hate them for it.

Give them enough rope, and they'll hang themselves with it.

For me it's wasn't just about the ads, but that the official app is terrible compared to the great third-party clients out there.

Instead of shitting the bed and charging abusive API rates to the third-party apps developers, they could have just made the use of third-party apps require a Reddit Premium subscription at the end-user level. That way they'd have solved the inability to display ads to third-party users by making them pay, and third-party devs could have kept doing their thing without worrying about a hefty API bill.

But instead they chose to be a bunch of dickwads and alienate the devs and give the middle fingers to their most loyal userbase. I left my 16 years old account dormant since.

The grocery store I often go to had these barcode scanners you could borrow at the entrance and scan your stuff as you go, along with scales on which you could print a barcode sticker for the stuff you pay by weight.

Once you were done, you'd scan a QR card at the self-service checkout to upload all the stuff you scanned, then pay.

It was awesome, you could just pack as you go. Unfortunately they scrapped the project once they found out that the amount of theft was significantly higher with this system. So yeah, we can't have nice things 😒

Such a shame :(

Are aluminium drinking cans made in Canada?

If so, drink more canned drinks, less plastic bottled drinks which is a better thing regardless as aluminium is easier to recycle than plastic thus a greener option.

I'm currently using Namecheap and in my mind, ddclient support was something relatively basic and common. But now that I search for a Canadian registrar with the feature it does seem hard to find :(

I can see the appeal for it in apps like F-Droid and Briar where you might want to share an app that may not be available because of an Internet outage (accidental or deliberate).

Happy Canada Day everyone.

Related to the outage that happened last night, we rebooted the Lemmy services but we're still trying to figure out the root cause, which seems to point to an out of memory issue in the logs. However it's not what we see in our monitoring console.

In the meantime, we will monitor the service more closely until we are confident the issue is resolved, and we will improve our tools to detect such a problem faster.

EDIT: Also happened at night on July 2nd, still trying to find the root cause..

Apologies for the extended downtime.
