They updated their description of how their search engine works. The new description is still factual, while being slightly easier to understand. The new description also has some fancy marketing flair. They still make it pretty clear that they use other search engines via anonymous calls.
I wouldn't call that shady at all... Unless maybe I'm completely missing the point here.
I think this is a fairly benign move with a valid explanation that has been taken out of context in order to be more inflamitory
Dang. I can't help but think there was some discrimination involved there? Well I hope there's some way to get that back + interest.
The UK’s fertility rate is at an all-time low, and many other countries face similar declines, creating ageing populations. But can ecological benefits of fewer people outweigh social problems created?
It's interesting how different countries are dealing and are effected by the declining worldwide birth rates. The most astounding statistic to me is that wildlife populations have dropped +70% over the past 50 years. Frankly, if humans think that we are in the right to drop wildlife populations by such a staggering amount, a slight drop in human populations only seems like a fair way to balance the scales.
Wow. The L2 is 16 times larger than what I have now. I can't imagine the breakneck performance.
Mayor Ken Sim and ABC Coun. Brian Montague are in the photo, standing next to the couple. No other city councillors appear to be in the images.
It should be pretty clear to everybody who Kenny is in bed with
Homeless housing shelters
Not the best? I like high effort posts and comments...
I used to follow /r/Canadianhousing2 on reddit. Very right wing, conservative, simplistic views on the housing crisis in Canada. I realized eventually it was a cesspool of hate and racism and stopped.
This is an awesome idea. Subscribed. You should do a starting post in January as a reminder!
I have a TP-Link router. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I searched around for a bit and I literally could not find which models of router were effected. All articles about Botnet-7777 are frustratingly vague with this.
Funny enough I never used Lemmy without a private instance, so I wouldn't know!
No worries :) it's the internet
Oh okay gotcha. Thanks a lot for spelling it out for me (not sarcasm). I honestly just was confused about the jargon. I watched that one documentary on Thatcher, it seems like that's exactly what her policies did and it earned lots of her high-class friends a lot of money at the expense of the citizens. It seems like I sat through the whole thing without absorbing that one word.
I feel like I have to defend myself a bit and say that it's not that I'm not into politics, it's just that I'm not into the flame-war, pick-a-side, bash the other party sort of politics. I vote in every election and I have a very nuanced view of most issues.
I agree with your analysis on why the free market would not be able to self-regulate in this case. It's funny because I myself have launched a food complaint with the BC admin before, and yeah let's just say the company never would have fixed it themselves in the free market.
I just want to say that as a non-native speaker, the word "liberal" has taken on and been used in so many forms that you can't quite infer the meaning in a lot of cases.
A landlord from B.C.’s Lower Mainland who evicted a longtime tenant only to rent out the same unit months later for more money has been ordered to compensate him $16,480.
I am relieved to hear that this tennant got some money back.
There seems to be a difference in views on what housing means to people. To the landlords, it's an exchange, a source of income for losing access to space. Landlords think it's fair to evict a tennant if it means they can charge more for rent. To the tennant, it's literally where they eat, live, and sleep. Their SOL if the landlord kicks them out. The because of this, the demand-curve on a demand-supply graph is steep. This causes the sensitivities were seen in the rental market these past couple years. The supply side is also steep because of NIMBY's.
So what happens? Prices go up and quantities don't change. Current landlords are rewarded, new landlords are hardly created, and tenants are left scrambling as they move from place to place, having their entire life uprooted each time.
And then people wonder why Canada isn't having kids. LOL
230C right on the iron lol
I think it attracts a certain type of person to Lemmy in the first place; someone who would have probably used the original Reddit back in the day
That's awesome! I'm glad it mostly all works for you. I was looking for an OS for a TV-gaming setup sort of thing and it might be Bazzite now. I use Lutris/Wine for most of my games instead of Steam, I find it easier to troubleshoot. Also lol @ so many games with "2" in them haha.
Hey; I just got a Lemmy instance up and running. I'd like to share some tips and things that helped me along the way.
I used the Ansible installer found here. Just following the instructions is pretty clear if you've ever set up a server before. I did have a couple of hickups though:
- In the
hostsconfig file, there's a like that says "myuser@example.com: replace with the destination you use to connect to your server via ssh."" There's a typo down below where there is nomyuser@example.com, it actually saysexample.cominstead. Do replace it with your username and domain. - The
customPostgresql.confDOES need to be tuned for your server memory and CPU; the default did not work for me - When it says
Configure a DNS A Record to point at your server's IP address.it means you need an IPv4 address for your server. Unfortunately, this means you can't use the cheapest Vultr tier at $2.5/mo, but you have to use the $3.5/mo instance at least. - I used the $5/mo Vultr instance instead of $3.5 because 512MiB of RAM caused my server to run out of memory and start killing processes. For some reason nginx would be the first to go.
- Speaking of nginx; it was not configured to start on startup for some reason. A quick
sudo systemctl enable nginxfixed that. - To diagnose the memory issue; I had to go
docker ps | grep postgres, get the hash/ID for postgres, then dosudo docker logs 5115641fc0b2to see the logs - To see the server logs, the
/srv/lemmy/<domain name here>is where the docker-compose.yml file is, so if youcdinto this dir, only then can you rundocker compose logs -f lemmyordocker compose logs -f lemmy lemmy-ui pictrsto see the lemmy logs - Sometimes, pressing a button in the config menu doesn't do anything. Generally, it's a backend issue and not a frontend one, but the front-end does not tell you that anything has gone wrong. If you "Inspect" and open up the console in your browser, you'll see the server request done and you can see the response.
- I was surprised to learn that you can't make a federated AND private Lemmy instance. I guess it makes sense? I kind of want to save on server bandwidth/resourse by being the only user though...
- My ISO of Debain did not have a swap file or partitioned any swap space. Create a swap file and make it permanent through the following commands:
sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfilesudo chmod 600 /swapfilesudo mkswap /swapfilesudo swapon /swapfileand then editsudo nano /etc/fstaband add the line/swapfile none swap sw 0 0. Without the swap Lemmy would crash the server.
Anyways, hope these notes help someone! If you've got any tips I'd love to hear.
