Seems a little odd that the fediverse uses Cloudfare.

You need to be more descriptive, use in what regard? Both are capable DNS providers but as far as I’m aware, Cloudflare is also a domain registrar.

Also each instance of Lemmy is configured differently, perhaps Lemmy.zip uses cloudflare but that isn’t the case for every instance of Lemmy.

Only game I care about from Microsoft is Halo Wars 2. Shame it got released as a UWP application.

I would hate that for whatever service that is for,

It’s the provincial governments authentication service for Canadians, if you ever used GCKey it’s essentially the same thing but provincial opposed to federal.

It allows ease of access to things like medical records, tax records, license renewals and such.

Alberta has their own system similar to this.

the only Google service I knowingly use is Youtube

Might I suggest Invidious as an alternative, you can host your own that way only 1 device on your network needs to contact YouTube directly or you can use one that is public.

I also know there is a script you can set up which will handle the initial contact to federate automatically.

I tried finding such a script but had no luck. I was able to export my subscription list from sh.itjust.works and imported it on my instance.

I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the communities I follow as I was experiencing the ‘Subscribe Pending’ issue but after a little while things seemed to start evening out and becoming a bit more stable.

My instance has been online for about a month, the supplied docker-compose.yaml was quite straightforward, had a little headache with Nginx but nothing overly complicated.

The long-con so to speak is federation, you have to subscribe to each community manually to begin federating with them, i have noticed timing issues with other instances such as Lemmy.world and have not been able to resolve them.

join the EU’s new system or create our own.

Tell that to the Government of British Columbia;

The phrase “Off with their head” is about to be hip again.

Redlib is great but has not seen a new release in over a year, the maintainer who took over the Libreddit project is clearly burnt out.

Suggest following this GitHub issue as folks have created forks of Redlib.

Chiming back in 3 hours later, just downloaded the latest release from Freetubes website, i can confirm that with my invidious instance that everything seems to be working fine. While my invidious instance is a private one, ill share it with you in the meantime until your normal setup gets back in order, shoot me a DM.

I’m not home to verify my Freetube however, I just checked my invidious instance and can confirm that the first video I attempted to play errored.

I am updating my Invidious instance to see if it still persists, perhaps the instances you’re using are out of date, I know invidious updates quite frequently to stay on-top of YouTube changes.

Edit; Updating invidious appeared to resolve my errors, I can only assume the instances you’re using are out of date. I’ll check Freetube when I get home.

Freetube is capable of utilizing the Invidious APi and provides more functions such as sponsor blocking or click-bait thumbnail removal.

Lots of customization features that I highly suggest pairing with Invidious.

Freetube either runs off of YouTube’s APi directly or an Invidious API to proxy requests to Youtube, how is your application configured? If you’re using Invidious have you tried another instance?

Have you read any of the issue reports on their GitHub? it seems like issue #9526 might be what you’re looking for.

Depends on the instance, some can say “hey don’t index us” whereas others can say “hey index us so we grow”, each instance admin has that decision however search engines can ignore the request to not index and do it anyways.

Canada 2026 - Tumbler Ridge school shooting

Australia 2024 - Atlantis Beach Baptist College school shooting

Germany 2026 - Welfen-Gymnasium school shooting

France & Austria 2025 - School shootings 2 hours apart from each other

Gun control helps minimize these incidents, sure, buts is certainly not a be all end all solution. Also Canada’s Wes Stevens heads to world shooting championships without a firearm due to countries regulations.

Firearms aren’t a social issue, you can’t stop people from camping in forests and using firearms as a tool for wilderness defence or folks who hunt and trap for a profession, not to mention people who live in remote locations where a Walmart is hours away opposed to minutes (I can’t confirm this last point for the US, but this is certainly a Canadian issue).

Target shooting is also recognized as an Olympic sport globally, you want to prevent teams from practicing their sport?

I don’t get it? How is this a meme?

Permitted.

Tha Doc gets a piece of everything.

Why are you wanting to use an anti-material rifle at a range for? Do you enjoy the pain of the recoil?

The answer is simple and you’re going to hate it, it’s a resounding Yes. It’s fun and it’s in a safe environment, what’s there to complain about? We have range officers to monitor people who don’t know what they’re doing for this exact reason.

Feigned indignation to what a nation deems not necessary for living in polite society is a pathetic excuse for advocating for the civilian use of military weaponry even if you are renting it.

I agree with you they went too far but saying you want a .50BMG rifle in a civilian role is just insane in my view.

PAL holders are statistically less likely to commit violent acts compared to every other Canadian, lets not forget that militarized / paramilitary firearms have been prohibited for personal ownership since the 70’s, our government put the blame of the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia on licensed firearms owners with these OIC’s and Bill C21 when the perpetrator was unlicensed, in possession of a firearm illegally and went around town killing people dressed as a officer.

For at least 40+ years .50 BMG rifles were in the governments eyes not specifically militarized firearms, all up until 2020 when they put that 10k joules limit and called them “assault style firearms”, our crime rates involving these types of rifles must’ve been extremely high otherwise why bother implementing the law? Right?

Edit; And when our own Public Safety Minister was caught on leaked audio disagreeing with how they handled the situation all for votes in Quebec this should have all been dropped.
