Agreed 100%. Lemmy probably shouldn't auto-load images in DMs, especially if image proxying isn't enabled (still buggy last time I tried it).

I don't think this is for de-anon, there's no evidence of that. All the spam is identical between large groups of users, and it's hosted on locations the sender wouldn't be able to see access logs.

If an instance admin would like a copy of lemmy.ca's current spam filter code I'm happy to share, just PM me.

Yes, it's not worth them fucking around with various pii / gdpr fines. As someone who has worked with pii, we always took deletion requests seriously.

It doesn't work in all apps.

For those instances, I paste + cut in my browsers url bar (unless multiline, then notepad)

Well I'm glad I downloaded all my genome data and deleted it a few months ago. It was easy to do, there's no excuse not to.

There's a dirty pile of clothes and a clean basket of laundry.

When the contents of the basket are small enough, I flip them into a clean pile of clothes and a dirty basket of laundry.

I just discovered MEC has a search filter on their site for made in Canada. Unfortunately none of their hydration packs are.

I think she's gone, for now.

I bet Trump is gonna call it foreign propaganda and ban it.

In fact, given its entanglements with their southern counterparts the Canadian Forces would likely enable a US invasion. As with the 2003 invasion of Iraq — which Ottawa officially opposed — some Canadian troops on exchange in the US might march north and, as is the norm when the US invades another country, Canadian officers would likely operate NORAD systems aiding the aggression.

That's a pretty bold opinion with absolutely nothing to back it up. There's a massive difference between supporting an army invading Iraq, and invading your own homeland.

"No, I'm mayor now. Why do I have to wait two years? I am mayor at this moment. I can write an executive order." It feels like it should be a protest technique or something, but I think he actually means it.

 
 

Ljdawson we need you now more than ever, you're our only hope!

 

Heads up for anyone running mlmym on their instance, your site is probably being used for google SEO manipulation: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/101

If you're running an old version, update to v0.0.40!

Y'all have been tempting me with your declious looking bread. I realize a bread machine is going to make simple loafs and not the stuff that's usually posted here, but curious on thoughts if they're worth it?

I'm low on time and lazy. I won't make bread if I have to whip out my KitchenAid and dough hook. Tossing some ingredients in a machine I can do though, plus it could make the dough for more complex things too if I do occasionally have the energy.

Should I do it?

Hello everyone!

I'm going to be taking the server down on Sunday to apply system updates, as well as migrate us to running across multiple lemmy containers.

Currently we do a nightly restart of lemmy / lemmy-ui at 2am resulting in a 2-3 minute outage (visible on our status page). This change will make those restarts transparent so I stop getting alerts on my phone.

I'm current planning on starting this at 11am PST on Sunday Feb 18th and will probably take about 30 mins.

Edit: All done! We've upgraded to postgres 16 as well.

 

For some reason I've been added as a mod of [email protected], which I actually blocked a while ago. I can't seem to self remove myself, maybe a lemmy bug from me being on a different instance.

Can a LW admin please remove me from that community?

I've done a quick upgrade to bring us up to 0.19.2, which should resolve the recent federation issues.

Heads up that on 0.19.2 admins also have the ability to now view up/down votes in the UI (rather than having to dig through the DB).
