Hello!

Our server was previously hosted in the USA. What does this mean for you? Well not much really. It's mostly just an ideological decision. I've had a ton of signups in the past month of users saying that they're trying to move away from US tech. The server is provided by a company in Montreal, QC. We also have double the ram and a few more CPU cores as we did before along with more storage space while also not increasing costs too much, though we don't really need any of that.

We're also moving away from Cloudflare. Why? We've had multiple hours-long outages due to Cloudflare being down. Also, there's privacy and centralization concerns which are just antithetical to the whole reason that I started a Fediverse instance. Over the past month I've disabled Cloudflare protection and haven't noticed any issues whatsoever, if anything performance seems better. If we start seeing massive bot traffic that hurts performance I may turn it back on temporarily, but so far so good.

We are still using Cloudflare R2 to store our images (and only images), but I am looking into alternatives. I also use them to pay for the domain and manage the DNS records, but I don't believe there's any issue in that. We send our server backups to Backblaze which is in the US however it is fully encrypted before leaving the server so there is no privacy concerns

As a fun aside it seems like every other Canadian hosted Lemmy instance is behind a CDN like Cloudflare, meaning that once join-lemmy.org refreshes our server information we should be the ONLY Lemmy instance listed as being hosted in Canada! Take that, @Shadow@lemmy.ca :P

Thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club!

The middle schooler had been begging to opt out, citing headaches from the Chromebook screen and a dislike of the AI chatbot recently integrated into it.

Parents across the country are taking steps to stop their children from using school-issued Chromebooks and iPads, citing concerns about distractions and access to inappropriate content that they fear hampers their kids’ education.

So fühlt sich das oft an. Von Spaß abgesehen, überprüft die Dokumentationsfilme zu den Jahren. Es ist sehr informativ.

Asking for a friend. No seriously, I’m trying to figure out how to best explain this to a friend as I’m having trouble enumerating how I can do it.

LONDON — Two of the world’s biggest trading blocs are cautiously eyeing closer ties to short-circuit Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The European Union and a 12-nation Indo-Pacific bloc are opening talks to explore proposals to form one of the largest global economic alliances, multiple people with knowledge of the talks told POLITICO.

Canada is spearheading the discussions after Prime Minister Mark Carney called on middle powers to buck trade war coercion last month, days after Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Denmark’s European allies if it didn’t cede Greenland.

Ottawa is “championing efforts to build a bridge between the Trans-Pacific Partnership [CPTPP] and the European Union, which would create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people,” Carney told world leaders and the global business elite in Davos.
