Hi all,

I'm going to be taking on a rather large change of life in the very near future, and I'm having to dump a bunch of responsibilities and hobby-type things.

This lemmy instance falls in to that category. I would love to see someone with the technical know-how volunteer to pick up the domain, this database, and host this somewhere, keeping continuity going.

Anyone interested?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I've updated Lemmy to the current 0.14.5 release today - please let me know if you see any issues.

We're aware of federation issues to Pleroma & Mastodon and there's a couple of Lemmy bugs that have been reported regarding the issues.

Thanks!

Some minor bugfixes

Hi all,

Since Lemmy's 0.14.0 release a day or so ago, federation has been broken to other systems that had immediately upgraded (including lemmy.ml).

Now that we've upgraded, we should be on a path, according to their release notes, where we won't see this breakage again any time soon.

Here's hoping! Enjoy the new release.

Hopefully this resolves the federation issues and keeps things flowing.

Hey all,

If you've noticed that federated communities have stopped coming through to lemmy.ca, it's apparently due to known federation bugs that the Lemmy team is working on resolving for their 0.14 release.

However, after working through some logs today and posting to the Lemmy matrix chat, it sounds like they're going to push a 0.13.4 fix release (we're currently on 0.13.3) right away.

Stay tuned!

As mentioned in https://lemmy.ca/post/14086 there were some federation issues noticed recently. There was a fairly significant bug resolved in 0.13.0 so we've updated to that to ensure as good a service as possible.

Enjoy!

Howdy all,

As per https://lemmy.ml/post/83611 - there's now comment and post reporting enabled. As an admin, I get to figure out where the reports go, but I presume for now it's just to an admin.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

The lemmy server process has been locking up at various points recently, sometimes to the point of no longer being able to service requests.

I don't know that it has anything to do with the latest version as the timing could just be coincidental, but, I have found some evidence that it's been too limited with it's file handles, so I've opened them up further.

Hopefully any apparent site outages stop at this point.

Imagine if these asshats got an overdone steak.

I hope these sorts of people are put in jail, stat.

I appreciate that this is occurring... hope they have lots of support!

We really have far too much tolerance for these douchebags.

Happy after-Labour-Day Tuesday!

Lemmy 0.12 was released last week, and there's already been a couple of bugfix releases (part of why it's so good to have patience when a new software release that has major new features or rewrites come along).

So we've jumped to 0.12.2:

Announcement of lemmy 0.12: https://lemmy.ca/post/12783 Announcmeent of lemmy 0.12.1: https://lemmy.ca/post/12841 Release notes that include the 0.12.2 release: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md

Enjoy!

Somebody please tell me if anyone involved in writing this thing has any understanding of how any online services work?

Fulll embedding looks good

There's only like 50,000,000 sq km or so available, this is terrible.

Here's a thing to get out and do/see/enjoy (or stay home and do, too).

I've found the same with butter over the past few years. I hope this gets backed up by other sources, but if true, it sounds like high time for better regulation of this industry - if they can't make profit from selling a pound of butter for $5 (which most seem to be priced higher than that now), then something is disastrously wrong.

It destroys me that in the middle of this pandemic, a year in, our government bodies think that they need to control messaging like this to the point of breeding distrust.

I really don't want to be distrustful of Interior Health, but when people are reaching out to the media anonymously to try to shed some real light on things - 'whistleblow', if you will - it's a little distressing.

I have heard directly from a hospital worker about them having their jobs threatened if they speak publicly. That's not how things should work, and our government bodies need to be held much more accountable for being secretive. I also believe that it should be illegal to fire someone for whistleblowing or speaking to media. If the media gets multiple people complaining about exactly the same thing, they should be able to dig for answers.

What an effective and useful by-law!

Ever seen by-law in any of the shopping area parking lots? This would be an easy cash cow for them if they even tried.

I'm not sure what kind of peer pressure Sinclair figures will work - See all those other cars in the parking lot that are shut off? They're not having any peer pressure effect on those idlers who can't stand to be uncomfortable for 60 seconds.
