Canadian Muslims outraged as Quebec moves to ban religious symbols at schools, including hijab in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (14 children)

apparently, yes. crosses, anyways:

The ban, meant to separate the state from religion, also outlaws Christian crosses, Jewish kippahs and Sikh turbans.

Bridges with matrix conduit in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (7 children)

i'm just guessing at this point, but if you send just the login command to the bot, it sounds like it should give you some options on how to login? what are the options it gives you in response, if anything? and have you tried any of them?

Bridges with matrix conduit in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (9 children)

have you followed the instructions here?

https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/python/telegram/authentication.html

this section specifically mentions:

Telegram officially discontinued registration from 3rd party clients as of 2023-02-18, so support for it was removed in v0.13.0 of the bridge. You should sign up using a mobile client and then log into the bridge.

so not sure if that's the issue you're running into (the timing matches up, anyways).

i've never used the telegram bridge myself, but i have other bridges running successfully.

Blackberry is a great movie. Love Baruchel and Howerton in their roles.

Also enjoyed many Cronenberg and Villeneuve movies too.

Cube is fantastic. I like to rewatch it every now and then. The sequels, not as good, imo.

What are the Canadian shaving cream options? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Henri et Victoria is a canadian company that makes their own shaving soap, I believe? I might give them a shot.

Mark Carney, who holds no seat, is being sworn in as Canada's 24th Prime Minister—By constitutional convention, a prime minister holds a seat in parliament… This is a dangerous precedent for the PMO. in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

this is not the first time this has happened. John Turner was also appointed PM (after Pierre Trudeau stepped down) while not being an MP or senator. He also dissolved parliament 9 days after being sworn in, which is what Carney is likely to do too, I believe.

not saying it right or wrong, just that it's happened before.

How do I verify Lemmy on Mastodon? (and appears green link) in c/[email protected]

i don't think this is currently possible: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2411

Has anyone heard of or used maapl.net? in c/[email protected]

oops, sorry, fixed! thanks!

yep. and for the self-hosters it's easy to setup a private instance of it. i fairly recently set one up, and it's been great.

also, mike, who set that up, also runs a smaller Canadian mastodon instance, with about 150 ~~registered~~ monthly active users, so if you're looking for a smaller mastodon instance, that's an option too.

Announcement: Two new admins (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink

Hello All,

Our current admins have busy lives, but we want to make sure we're still on top of growing and maintaining lemmy.ca. As such we've decided to add two new admins to help out. Please welcome @[email protected] and @[email protected]. Both have been active with generating reports and keeping the site free from spammers and trolls, and both have experience moderating other communities too. We are confident they will help make the site even better!

June 2023 financial update for lemmy.ca (lemmy.ca)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

37 comments fedilink

This is a little late, but I figure that it's better late than never!

For full transparency, I'm just going to give a high level overview of the financial situation of lemmy.ca through June 2023, when I started to accept donations.

Total Expenses: $30.00

This includes all hosting fees, including backups, etc.

Total Contributions: $1,503.03

$1,184.84 through LiberaPay
$318.19 through OpenCollective

All contribution amounts are not including payment processor and/or OpenCollective fees.

Remaining Balance: $1,473.03

I plan on transferring the remaining balance to the new admin team, whenever they are ready to accept it.

Thank you to all that have contributed so far, I couldn't have gotten the instance to where it is now without your generosity. I'm very excited to see what comes next and look forward to watching the instance grow more!

New Admins, Server Upgraded (lemmy.ca)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

36 comments fedilink

As you may have already noticed, 3 new admins have been added. Welcome @[email protected] , @[email protected] , and @[email protected]! There are also many more people that are helping behind the scenes as well. They have many years of experience moderating various subreddits, and I believe that they can bring lemmy.ca to the next level.

We have been collaborating so that they will be taking over hosting this instance. When I initially volunteered to take over this instance early in 2022, I was thinking it would just be a hobby project, and I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. With the surge of new users in the past few weeks, and potentially a lot more to come soon, I decided that I don't have the time or energy required to dedicate to running this site, and it just so happened that they were looking for a new home too.

@[email protected] and I will stay on as an admin while we transition to a new server, just to make sure everything goes smoothly, but I plan on removing myself as an admin once everything is settled. I will try and stay active here as a user, because I believe that lemmy and the fediverse can become something great!

I have also suspended donations for the time being, but thank you to all that have already donated. All your current donations will be transferred to the new admins.

I have also upgrade the server to 8 CPU's and 8 GB, since it seemed to be struggling with an influx of new users tonight, so sorry about the brief downtime!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

Preemptive Blocking of Instances with high potential bot counts (lemmy.ca)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

18 comments fedilink

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/919010

I have taken the advice from this post and blocked all instances with > 10,000 users, from this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRthB7RtY4Rr0t5fhVKaliJnwSmptMc5oJi7uha_OBcF4wpu4eElxAxNzaCqjlq6NsOE9GpgSnMzZ2x/pubhtml

I will continue to monitor things and will make another announcement if more blocks are necessary.

If anybody is interested in getting a cleaned up instance federated again, feel free to contact me over DM (if you’re currently blocked, you can contact me on Matrix: @smorks:40to.ca).

I'm planning on upgrading lemmy to v0.18.0 tonight, probably around 9pm CDT. So there will be a bit of downtime, but I don't think it should take too long.

Release Announcement: https://lemmy.ca/post/862306

edit: kids baseball game went long, should start around 10pm CDT.

edit2: going to start in about 5 minutes. 9:55pm CDT.

edit3: looks like we're updated. let me know if you notice any issues!
