Besides the AI, this is objectively funny.

Ottawa opens transitional housing centre in vacant downtown office space by twopi in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Nice.

Next step step is to turn it into a "public-private" partnership.

Then to "streamline government inefficiencies" by fully privatizing.

Then have no overbearing rent controls so that that the owner can charge $2600(1 month of full time minimum wage) for each side of each bed.

Then and only then will Ottawa finally have free [as in freedom] housing.

And just like that Ottawa will move from tyrannical communism to freedom landlording capitalism.

Remember kids, everything given by the state can be taken away. But private property rights are good for everyone forever.

Unable to Connect to Internet Without VPN (lemmy.ca)

I was able to literally 1 hour ago.

I changed my DNS from Next DNS to CIRA Canadian Shield (Protected) to test it out.

Then I was only able to connect to the internet through Mulvad VPN.

Then I changed back to Next DNS and I observe the same behaviour.

How do I determine what is causing the problem?

How do I solve it?

Question: Can I create a CNAME record to point a subdomain to a webpage e.g. blog.example.com -> example.com/blog? (lemmy.ca)

Same as above:

Can I create a CNAME record to point a subdomain to a webpage e.g. blog.example.com -> example.com/blog?

I would also like to know if I can do this to point subdomains to webpages on different websites.

e.g. bluesky.example.com -> bsky.app/profile/example.com

It is though. That is the literal definition of opportunity cost.

If corporations can receive pardons, then corporations should be able to receive the death penalty.

Trying to move away from FireFox.

I know that there is LibreWolf and GNU IceCat.

What are the pros and cons for each?

I tried GNU IceCat and I don't know how to install extensions. How to get extensions for GNU IceCat? Is it easier on LibreWolf?

I need the following extensions:

ublock origin
send to MPV player
privacy badger
Distraction free youtube
Unhook
LeechBlock NG
Privacy Badger
Tab Session Manager
KeePassXC-Browser

The login interface only allows login with mastodon servers.

My only account is this lemmy.ca account.

Will it be possible to add login options for lemmy and other activity pub server software (e.g. friendica, peertube, etc)?

Looking for New Moderators (lemmy.ca)

submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello All!

Thank you for using the Ottawa sublemmy. There has been a significant growth in users recently and I would like to recruit some new moderators for the community.

I would also like to have a francophone be a member of the mod team.

Please reply if you're interested, will then reach out over DMs.

Edit:

What the role will be:

Minimal commitment
Be present on the forum
Remove content that doesn't abide be rules set for the sublemmy

So far, the community is running well without much intervention, I suspect more eyes will be needed as new people come in.

Also, having a francophone would allow the same policy be upheld for both official languages.

Are ‘mom-and-pop’ investors pricing out first-time homebuyers? by twopi in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago

I'll repost a comment I made before again here:

If you have half the population each have 1 investment property. You must have the other half renters. You literally want to create two classes. Those with investment properties and those with no property. One class above another. You’re just using billionaires as a shield. You want to put yourself in a class above other people.

We should all work so that each person has one home.

And the “I don’t want to work until I die” should be covered by social insurance/social security instead of making someone else a renter.

Ban private jets and luxury emissions! [Petition] by twopi in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

Carbon sequestration is not possible right now or even for the foreseeable future.

Forcing jets to use renewable resources is a good one be should aim to ban private short and medium haul flights in general.

Where is lemmy.ca hosted? (lemmy.ca)

Just as the title asks, where is lemmy.ca hosted?

I have flagfox installed on my firefox.

It tells me that lemmy.ca is hosted in Washington state. Link: https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=208.87.97.51&host=lemmy.ca. I'd like to know if this is accurate.

Ideally I'd like to have the data be hosted in Canada and hence under Canadian law as opposed to US law.

I'd also be interested in hearing other opinions on this.

How does federation on lemmy work? (lemmy.ca)

I cannot see posts from lemmy.ml. I only see a few but not a lot. When I go to https://lemmy.ca/community/2573, for example I don't see any posts however when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/embedded_prog, while not logged in because I don't have an account on lemmy.ml, I see posts. Is it just me or is it an effect of federation?
