In Ontario, a new law places clubs, music venues and DIY spaces in jeopardy · News ⟋ RA in c/ontario

Personally, I support this bill. Then again I also prefer only selling drugs (both pharmaceutical and recreational) through crown corps only not through private businesses.

If Ford was seriously against drugs he'd limit selling to LCBO and OCS, etc.

I'm pretty close to a prohibitionist. But acknowledge that prohibition is not practical has shown not to yield the expected results.

In this market absolutely. One could easily flip it to $500k in a couple days.

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?

Liberals could opt for Tory MP to become House Speaker, say insiders in c/canada

[–] twopi 8 points 2 weeks ago

I think so?

I would also mean that if there are absent MPs, they may be able to pass legislation without any opposition support.

First. We should be using the .ca domain space more instead of the other US owned TLDs.

A good article and interesting read. Like the titles of the other articles on the website

This is a good find. Thank you for sharing.

Question: Can I create a CNAME record to point a subdomain to a webpage e.g. blog.example.com -> example.com/blog? in c/[email protected]

[–] twopi 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

OK. Is there a web service that does this or do I have to run my own service and make the redirects myself?

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.

Which to choose: GNU IceCat or LibreWolf? (self.privacy)

submitted 3 months ago by twopi to c/privacy

32 comments fedilink

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 (self.ottawa)

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.

Looking for Stainless Steel Insulated Bottle (recommendations please) (self.buycanadian)

submitted 3 months ago by twopi to c/buycanadian

8 comments fedilink

I am looking for a stainless steel insulated bottle. Preferred size is 500 mL.

The nearest store to me sells Hydro Flask.

I would like some other recommendations.

Some of my own research so far: Hydro Flask is owned by Helen of Troy (Nasdaq: HELE). I have come across Klean Kanteen, they seem like a good company but I'd have to ship in because it is not in store.

Ideally I'd like to support a company that is a co-operative or B-corp and not owned by a conglomerate traded on the Nasdaq/NYSE.

Obviously Canadian is preferred if possible.

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

submitted 3 years ago by twopi to c/lemmy_ca_support

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.
