That's an error message from Cloudflare, their tunnel provider. The server is probably unreachable. Either they're doing some maintenance, or it's a hiccup or something went wrong. You need to wait for a moment. Or maybe a bit longer if they're facing any issues.
Wow, they're really offline for a long time now. Did OVH really mess up that hard? I guess hardware in a datacenter fails every day? Wouldn't they be prepared for that and just restore/migrate to a different machine, then?
Yeah, it's speculation at this point anyways. I mean I've only ever seen webservers with a RAID. So one harddrive failure shouldn't affect it too much. Then most people rent a VPS and that usually runs on some cluster. Even if a whole machine goes down, it's supposed to come up again on some other machine automatically within a few minutes. And then you should have tech support of a big hosting provider answer within some timespan. I hope someone will write a summary of the events and link it somewhere. Maybe a lot of things went wrong. Or it's some kind of error in the specific setup lemmy.ca did.
It wasn't a hard drive failure but something more severe, since the remote console is non-responsive. I just called OVH to yell at them and press on the ticket, so hopefully should be resolved soon.
Our hardware failed this morning and we're stuck waiting on OVH to investigate the support ticket I filed. They claim their support is 24/7 but live chat / phone is just business hours, so worst case we might be down until tomorrow =(
status.lemmy.ca/ has an update, but not much to say really except "It's down until it's not"
Edit: I'm assuming we're down until I can call / chat with them first thing in the morning, so expect to be back up early tomorrow (depending on how long the parts replacement takes).
Edit 2: I called them when I woke up at 6:30 PST and hopefully they'll fix it soon now....
They claim their support is 24/7 but live chat / phone is just business hours
It's increasingly common for "24x7 support" to mean access to their KB/FAQ and the ability to raise a ticket, while the actual support is a skeleton crew working regular hours.
Not unlike "your call is very important to us..." 😅
Weird to think what happens when you lose a site you visit on a regular basis. I can understand the whole instance going down but us users just get lost when things get turned off. There's no way to know what happened, why or when or if anything will return.
I had to resurrect my old lemmy.world account to figure out what happened. I guess we have to hang on to two or more unique instance accounts in case our main instance goes down.
Stay well guys and I totally appreciate the admins of lemmy.ca and all the work they do. I'll patiently wait and look forward to seeing it online again.
It feels shitty and I was doing the same thing all day. I had to resurrect my lemmy.world account just to get back online. It's made me realize that I should maintain both accounts for shut downs like this. And now I'm also having to do more in maintaining my Mastodon account too.
I did that five times before remembering I had an old account on this instance that I could switch to to post the question and see what communities I used to be subscribed to.
For years, Google Maps has been a go-to tool for millions worldwide, seamlessly integrated into search results for instant access to directions, locations, and more. But if you’ve noticed something missing recently, you’re not imagining things. Due to European Union regulations, Google has been forced to remove its Maps functionality from its search results, marking a significant shift in how we interact with the tech giant’s ecosystem.

Kraftig minskning av lax i Östersjön. Laxbeståndet i Östersjön har minskat kraftigt de senaste åren. Därmed har fisket också minskat kraftigt. Det är overdersägligt. Det har fått Stiftelsen för Östersjölaxen att kräva ett totalt fiskestopp. Det är rimligt vad det gäller laxen men de vill också ha ett fiskestopp på sill (strömming). Vilket är helt orimligt.

Oh, does he still exist? I've blocked his channels, because he is simply not trustworthy. Everything he makes is at best infomercials. He's a sellout.
Edit: To those who downvote, really? It's been so obvious already years ago, that his reviews depend heavily on who advertises with him. He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn't say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once... Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn't deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away! He was revealed to have behaved like an asshole all the way. But go ahead and support him if you want.
I mean, even if he's legit, I tried so hard to watch and I just am too old and too slow for all the three-second cuts. Are people's attention spans truly this short now? It feels hypermanic.
Videos anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes at an anxiety inducing attention disorder riddled pace. Yet all the information can usually be boiled down to a 5 to 10 minute read. It makes no sense. But actually it does because these "infuencers" are modern day infomercial salesmen. The point is to keep you watching so eventually you'll be persuaded to purchase product. Unfortunately I think probably anyone under maybe 25-30 has no clue wtf an infomercial is so the analogy is lost on those who could use it the most.
He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn't say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once...
None of that ever happened. In fact he regularly declines sponsorships from various companies with ethical conflicts.
Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn't deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away!
When you run a large company, this sort of dumb shit happens. He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be) and hired a CEO to handle logistics. You act like it was done maliciously.
It was so fucking obvious, how he was paid by companies to do some arbitrary shit, and later there would be a stellar review of their products. You had to be blind to not see it. It was hidden advertising, and it's even illegal! But I think he changed his approach to make it BARELY legal now.
He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be)
Yeah after it became a scandal that hurt his business and reputation.
I watched LTT for years, since we were the same age, and NCIX was my local computer shop.
I noticed a steep decline in quality as LMG got bigger, and a greater focus on personalities and entertainment rather than substance. There's a market for that, and it appeals to the less knowledgeable or as an entry to tech as a hobby, or even people who just want tech-adjacent entertainment. I can't deny the reach and impact this team has, but the content isn't for me anymore.
Lilbits: Turning a smartphone into a mini-laptop, the first 750 MHz monitor is coming, and MCON mobile game controller hits Kickstarter
Before smartphones were a thing, the world of pocket-sized computers were somewhat divided between touchscreen devices like the Palm Pilot and mini-laptops like the HP Jornada 720. Taking inspiration from the latter, TypingCat has designed a portable keyboard case for a Google Pixel 6 Pro that turns a smartphone into a mini-laptop, complete with a Linux-based desktop environment (running inside of Android, so you can still use the phone as… a phone).

In other recent tech news from around the web, UGREEN plans to expand the line of network attached storage (NAS) devices the company first unveiled a year ago. A company called KOORUI plans to show the first consumer monitor with a 750 Hz refresh rate at CES next week. And there’s a new crowdfunding campaign for a mobile game controller with an unusual design.
TypingCat (via Thingiverse) This work-in-progress project is a design for a 3D-printed chassis turns a Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone into a mini-laptop complete with a mini keyboard (and a desktop Linux UI running on Android). The kickstand is a particularly clever touch to keep the whole thing from tipping over.
UGREEN plans to expand its NASync line of network attached storage devices with the new iDX series featuring Intel Core Ultra chips and AI features including AI chat, smart tags, search, and meeting summarization.
This 24.5 inch display has a FHD TN display panel, a 0.5ms response time, 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR 400 support. It’s also the first “consumer-grade monitor” with a 750 Hz refresh rate.
This game controller for smartphones has a slide-out design that makes it feel like a somewhat chunky smartphone case when retracted, while giving you a full set of controls positioned below the screen when extended. It’s going for $99 during crowdfunding, which is 33% off the expected retail price of $149. It’s expected to start shipping in August.
Ya know, that's super insightful and I bet there's something to that. Our brains are so strange, and marketing (as an industry itself) has gotten to know them so well.

Hi. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. People have put a lot of effort into developing Lemmy as both a software and a community, and it wasn't my intention to devalue anyone's efforts or say that it's a lost cause. I think people should continue using Lemmy. This was just literally my stream of consciousness. I'm more upset that the original Reddit is gone and I wanted to highlight how Lemmy is not a perfect replacement.
Lemmy is a perfect replacement for Reddit because it's not Reddit. The feed was curated and not as organic as the voting system made it seem. As time passed, it became more of an algorithmic engine for dopamine extraction. Sure, I had some great times there, but times change.
Lemmy is not a perfect copy, but it is a healthier replacement in some ways. Separate instances do amplify echo chambers, but, they mildly serve to keep different groups separated. Some personality types are just not compatible and that is OK. We still have common spaces and can still be civil, mostly.
For now, there isn't as much room here for business. Sure, we have plenty of porn but this platform isn't as easy to exploit for money as Reddit was. No centralized advertising structure is awesome, IMHO. (Some clients still leverage ads, but I don't use them.)
Why people say seperate instances amplify echo chambers? I can follow any community I want, it might be true that similar people go to similar instances but then you can see the others without noticing what instance they belong. In lemmy you follow communities and not people so I feel this happens even less since everyone comments on any community.
And as a site note I think the internet showed that putting everyone in once place is not always healthy for everyone.
The internet should respect different cultures and not try to homogenize everything.
Its probably more accurate for me to say that I think there is a gradient of people between instances. Using politics as an example, and without details, people seem to gravitate to instances where they are with like-minded folk. Combine that with local or global filter preferences, and echo chambers start to form on a per-instance basis. Communities of higher interest will likely be on the users home instance, after all.
But yeah, I am fairly sure most of us browse /all and see content from all over Lemmy. We still mix and mingle, but are still lightly bound by our own filter preferences. See above paragraph.)
(I am not trying to dictate hard rules of behavior, btw. Lemmy is too diverse for anything definitive.)
Personally, I try to only block specific communities and not entire instances. That has seemed to keep my personal feeds fairly open.
I think that intro (and the dead lemmy thumbnail) and the long part about reddit is why you got downvoted. People want to hear good things or constructive criticism about their niche platform and are kinda tired of reddit.
Try not to get discouraged about posting. I saw what you meant later in the article, it just came off badly from the intro materials.
I think single user instances and subscribing to communities doesn't really work with lemmy because of the low volume and overlapping communities.
I actually read all new on my instance and just block anything I don't want to see instead of subscribing. That was when communities come and go I still see the content. There are tradeoffs though you'll have to come back later to see lots of comments usually.
You just need to move on. Reddit had its time and place. I’m thankful for those early days I got to experience and so should you.
"And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." - Hunter S. Thompson
If one can pay $30/yr for basically a private social network that's garbage and advertizement free, I think that should be more popular. But to make that happen we need an even easier system to set up;
Get the $119/year package for 5 people. Invite 4 of your friends. Tell them that if they like it they can split the costs with you or pay it forward by getting another 5-package for themselves and inviting more of their friends.
It's less than $2.50 per month, for 4 different services, and I'm also pledging 20% of the profits to go the open source projects.
I've been told by multiple people that I'm actually charging less than what I should. If you think that you can offer all of that for less, please go ahead.
These are for the people that just want to get access to the flagship servers and not worry about managing their own. Those that want to bring lots of users should look into the managed hosting packages, where they will be no hard quota, and they will only be limited by the hardware resources that will be allocated to them.
I remember in reddit following nextduckinglevel to simply be a bit more up to date with people commenting on this types of things and after that I started to enjoy less reddit, this type of communities make reddit similar to other social media liked Instagram and I don't enjoy seeing extreme things all the time or people just trying to get the attention. I stop following the community after a while and the experience got better for me.
I don't see much different between reddit and lemmy besides lemmy being in the fediverse thus it's a plus on my book. But you decide what communities you follow, if you are not enjoying it stop following what makes you not enjoy the platform, this is not tiktok where they put videos on you face, you choose what type of content you want to see and follow things you want to follow not things you should follow.
Lemmy is at the moment a super busy tech/nerd/nd forum. If you have those interests you don't usually starve for content.
It's when you expect it to be like late stage reddit with millions of users sustaining niches comms that you get disappointed. Lemmy is like reddit in 2008.
It cannot cater to all interests yet but it is a place that people can validly migrate to as reddit enshittifies further
The more we foster a community of sharing the less dead the niches will fill.
The vast majority of lemmy users never post at all which sometimes makes it feel dead. We need more posts. If you’re reading this and haven’t made a post before I challenge you too. If you’re reading this and there is a niche community that doesn’t exist that you miss from reddit, I challenge you to make it here.
there is a niche community that doesn’t exist that you miss from reddit, I challenge you to make it here.
Please come to !fedigrow@lemm.ee for some advice. Quite a few communities get created then get abandoned a few weeks after, that's counterproductive as well
For some reason you are just having a bad moment mate, rejoice! Nothing is dead. I mean Reddit is still alive, like it or not I don't think it's going to change any time soon. Lemmy does its own things, sure it didn't grow as expected but it is doing good, those things take time and we should not expect Lemmy to become the new Reddit.
For me the main issue on Lemmy is the number of thread/community/people that want to talk absolutely about Reddit, at this point this is just counterproductive it's like people can't get over it, the first few months it was okay but now it's just non sense.
I still believe that mailing lists are the best technology which has been both decentralized in the meaning of the identity ( which you can verify with gpg ) and storage. While I like many other things like simplex, lemmy, to some extent matrix and so on, still mailing lists rock nowadays ( note: please consider 2 criterias i meant - distributed identity and storage)
I think this is getting downvoted a little unfairly. I suspect this is mostly because the title went a bit too far in the "provocative" direction. If you were to build on this, I'd say extract the parts about setting up your own instance (everything after "In Comes Lemmy") and expand that.
A couple other thoughts: - I agree that !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is awesome, if you contact pmjv he'll probably respond - You say: "When you use Lemmy, you have to subscribe to specific communities in order to see the content from those communities." which is not literally true -- you can just set your account to read "all", and a lot of people do that. Not sure what the default is, especially if you set up your own instance.
It finally occurs to me. When younger people complain about capitalism, it's the 21st century almost-feudal version of capitalism that they're complaining about.
The oligarchs/large corporations don't seem to stop wanting exceptional amounts of money more whilst everyday people are really struggling. I'm not taking about the bottom end of society who are double-decimated, but average everyday middle-classes and pensioners. Members of Governments have their noses in our trough too.
I understand what they mean now. Sorry it's taken me so long.
Add-on: I should add that I'm old now. I grew up in the change that was new-growth of Thatcher's premiership not the managed-decline winner-take-all that is the 21st century. I believed and I don't anymore.
god what a depressing comment I've made. Maybe it'll be better in the morning. 🤣😂
Think of our perception of capitalism as closer to your great grandparents'. Your statement of thatcher implies UK, so think before the unions and the council housing and for us yanks before the NHS. And with an oncoming doom from climate change. And that's in addition to the technofuedalism. The benefits of privatization increasingly feel like a bold faced lie to us
Maybe. My great grandparents escaped from Poland and Russia in the first decade of the twentieth century. I don't know what you'd call it as a geographic area.
I remember, with a small child's view, the seventies. It was really shite. Weak leaders, unions asking the physically impossible, wild inflation (25+% vs a kinda normal 5-7%), strikes and poverty. 'managed decline' was the way it was described in the civil service: the airplane is fucked but we're going for a soft landing. 2020 here is like the seventies writ small. The UK had no choice but to join the EU.
The UK contributes less than 2% to greenhouse gases but our idiots are pushing climate change costs onto us - or maybe it's labelled climate change but the taxes is just trying to keep us the country afloat. What we learned from Mrs T was that 70s style tax burdens don't work. The halving of the tax rates doubled the revenue and suddenly punk became synth and new romantics.
I think the real change was the second wave emancipation of women. House prices went wild because there were now two serious incomes

What we learned from Mrs T was that 70s style tax burdens don't work. The halving of the tax rates doubled the revenue and suddenly punk became synth and new romantics.
I think the real change was the second wave emancipation of women. House prices went wild because there were now two serious incomes per household to multiply by 4 or 5. People were buying houses on self- certification of income, never making a mortgage payment, and still selling the house at a huge profit. The thing exploded, like in the US, as you'd expect. The government didn't raise interest rates to combat the excess money now in the system and pop-goes-the- weasel.
Selling off the infrastructure was a dream to build wealth for small shareholders, mirroring the US - I have a SEC Series 7 Traders qualification for work - but the Brits are sadly a more disconnected lot. Every budget raids our pensions funds because we don't care about them until the day before we retire. I'm guessing small shareholders are a small minority now.
After the nineties We've had a succession of weak leaders, each tacitly claiming to be the new Mrs T. Boris filled his mates pockets with the cash meant for COVID and locked down the working man.
Now we've got a naive ex-chief prosecutor 'authoritarian' in who is as weak as fuck pandering to every liberal cause you can shake a stick at. Violent prisoners being released, people jailed for sending a tweet; serious honours given out for the mayor of London who has failed by any metric you care to name, but someone has elected him three times in a row. Mind you, the opposition candidate was particularly hopeless this time.
It's all very reminiscent of Neil Kinnock failing miserably to walk unaided on a beach, having being surprised by the presence of water, staging a election victory before the day and losing the general election as a result to a complete twat.
Meanwhile, if climate change was actually important to you all, you'd tackle the major polluters of this world. China also owns Africa for the minerals and large quantities of the US, India lives in abject poverty as the largest population in the world. Not a damn thing was said.
Lets start with your assumption that it's fine that a country with .87% of the global population being anywhere near 2% of greenhouse gasses is ok. Especially when first world countries like ours are responsible for the historical majority of them. But also by reducing our emissions we enter the ability to negotiate with other countries to reduce theirs and we have incentives to develop more ecological technology that we can then sell to other countries as China has famously been doing with solar panels and electric vehicles. But significantly, all we can impact outside treaties is our own countries, so when we demand carbon reduction at home it's because the alternatives are giving up or I suppose you could attempt to take back India and China.
Carbon taxes are more like vice taxes than say revenue taxes. The goal isn't to raise money to offset emissions, but to make more externally costly decisions less appealing. That way you don't fly instead of t

And yeah, I can't speak much for the UK, but in the US I associate the Reagan era with the severance of businesses from their responsibility and value to society. The rot that's killing my country both financially and socially was fostered and promoted by the Reagan era. We sold off our manufacturing capacity in the form of offshoring and created the conditions of the crack epidemic, government ignoring as more Americans died of aids than in the Vietnam War, and the formation of the religious right who would go on to cause a lot of today's problems. My part of my country is called the rust belt, and it was decimated by the consequencesof the 80s.
Also I'm pretty sure the UK had great benefits from EU membership. At least considering how bad leaving it has gone for yall.

Well, there is Keynes
"Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of motives, will somehow work together for the benefit of all."—John Maynard Keynes
Interesting concept. I have a script that uses long term tokens and curl to tell HA to turn on certain things I need before running a certain game, then turns them back off afterward. Presumably this could take the place of that script.
It's an interesting idea, I wonder what other ideas people will have once it's working.
I just wish I could get my script to disable the screensaver in KDE. I have the command that should do it, and it's changing the right setting (ie, changing the same setting manually in the gui works correctly), but it seems like KDE isn't aware of the config change, and the things I've tried to get KDE to reload that config aren't working. No error, but the screen saver stays active.
