Lol as a minority that's born here and lived in cities across the countr: Canada definitely has racism still. We are very diverse; especially in the bigger cities of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

I recently travelled to NB and witnessed some racism. Wasn't anything too bad. I've had worse. But you'll find more ignorance than hate. Hate looms it's ugly head depending on where you go and what minority you are. I think for the most part, you'll be okay, you might get weird comments here and there, but most people will be nice as a general rule of thumb.

So. There's going to be a by-election for his seat later? Does that mean the Liberals have a majority now?

thecanadian.social is another option to join as well 🫡

I tried to find you on the fediverse (mastodon) and saw this comment!

I just wanted to say, you're doing a great job! This release, with native apps is awesome. I see that Android Auto is on the roadmap, and I'm excited for that as well :)

I have tested with Pocket Casts, AntennaPods (with PinePods as the backend!) and the PinePods android app... the fact that PinePods supports server downloads, and the Android app allows for bypassing local downloads (to stream the server version).. I notice that when I listen with PinePods Android, there's less ads compared to Pocket Casts Android and AntennaPods! +1 for PinePods Android :)

These podcast streams must detect if a request is on mobile and inject specific ads 😅

I'm not sure how caddy works, but if curl says it's insecure, to me it sounds like the certs are not installed correctly.

Also good to do. I think using HTTPS, even over LAN, is just table stakes at this point. And people dismissing that are doing more harm than good.

[–] quaff@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

💯 Generally I see the dismissal from people who use their services purely through LAN. But I think it's good practice to just set up HTTPS/SSL/TLS for everything. You never know when your needs might change to where you need to access things via VPN/WG/Tailnet, and the moment you do, without killswitches everywhere, your OPSEC has diminished dramatically.

[–] quaff@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Generally the tokens and credentials are sent along with the request. Which is plaintext if you don't use HTTPS. If you lose connection, you're sending the details along regardless if it connects (and if you're on someone's network, they can track and log).

(It's also plaintext if the auth method isn't secure as well; e.g. using a GET request or sending auth through HTTP headers unencrypted)

This is a really good idea that I see dismissed a lot here. People should not access things over their LAN via HTTP (especially if you connect and use these services via WG/Tailscale). If you're self hosting an vital service that requires authentication, your details are transmitted plaintext. Imagine the scenario where you lose connection to your tailscale on someone else's WiFi and your clients try to make a connection over HTTP. This is terrible opsec.

Setting up letsencrypt via DNS is super simple.

Setting up an A record to your internal IP address is really easy, can be done via /etc/hosts, on your router (if it supports it, most do), in your tailnet DNS records, or on a self hosted DNS resolved like pihole.

After this, you'd simply access everything via HTTPS after reverse proxing your services. Works well locally, and via tailscale.

SimpleMarkdown doesn't allow for re-ordering checkbox list items.

[–] quaff@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I already use Tasks.org :) But that's for specific things.

I like writing list of things. Like groceries, and as I write them, I tend to re-organize them. Having the ability to re-order the items easily helps me tremendously.

Tasks.org can't fill that note aspect. Let alone re-ordering a task.

[–] quaff@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Whoa. This actually works pretty close. Although, I am not seeing the ability to drag and drop re-order list items. Which is the big feature I want and need.

I am seeing in their github issues that CKEditor doesn't support it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

 

Hey y'all. I've been testing a bunch of Note taking solutions and nothing seems to check off what I want and need.

I want a simple interface (both for list view and note editor/view), preferably similar to Google Keep, but a regular list is fine as well.

Key features:

A. being able to drag and drop re-order checkbox lists.

e.g.

  • [ ] item 1
  • [ ] item 2
  • [x] item 4
  • [x] item 3

I'd like to be able to just drag and drop the above to sort things correctly.

B. E2EE at rest.

C. CTRL+F inside the note view/edit!!

Honestly, the only functionality I truly want is A. But most of the solutions I found are either proprietary or can't do it.

Self hosted options I've tried:

  • Joplin (can't do A; UX is not great)
  • Standard notes (A + C is gated by their self hosted premium subscription; I don't mind paying for my apps, but the prices are ridiculous)
  • Silverbullet.md (can't do A)
  • Quillpad (very similar to Google Keep and can do A, but has terrible file syncing, not E2EE)

Notesnook looks almost as insane as Standard Notes to self host (mimicing AWS stack locally is nuts). Has anyone tried Notesnook yet? I don't want to spend another afternoon setting something heavy up only to find that the feature I want is gated by a heavy $.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Woops! I am looking to use the notes app on both Android and Web/Desktop Linux. Preferably an open source solution.

 

Some fedi folks hosted a two day con in Vancouver this past weekend. If anyone is interested, there's a video of all the talks. Would love to see some Lemmy representation next year 🫡

 

My instance has a bunch of pinned posts that stay pinned for a while... I typically use Card view which means those posts take up a lot of space!

Would it be possible to make pinned posts all compact in card view?

Or maybe letting us change between compact/card view for individual posts. Maybe that's a bit overkill tho. I really just want it for pinned posts 🥲🙏

PS: Thunder is so awesome. The experimental unifiedpush (and the thunder server!) is an awesome addition ❤️

 

I'm following #Vancouver hash tags and I don't see anything showing up on my Home feed; there's been new posts since following the hashtag though. Those new posts with the hashtag should be showing up on my Home feed right? I know they do on pixelfed.social.

I see a post on my pixelfed.social home feed for an account @pixelfed.ca that has #Vancouver in the post.. but on my pixelfed.ca home feed, I'm not seeing that post. I can search for it though? Is there some kind of home feed setting I'm missing?

Does anyone else have a similar experience with following hash tags that aren’t showing on the home feed?

Will the import feature be enabled at some point? I want to migrate my photos over, would be good to use the import function for that 🙏

 
 

I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm noticing on the latest beta, that some posts (haven't found a pattern) will open to a completely unrelated post.

Actually... usually it's related to !TenForward@lemmy.world, I'm not sure why (I could be wrong too). It's something I've noticed maybe 5-6 times in the last couple of weeks?

I've linked to a screen recording, hopefully it's obvious to you @CreatureSurvive@lemmy.world

 

Latest share action to Open Lemmy links in Arctic is super handy! Thank you @creaturesurvive@lemmy.world !

I notice that “Open In Arctic” has “in” capitalized, but every other share action on iOS seems to be sentence case. Any way you can make the new Arctic action match the other share actions? 🙏

The latest icon in TestFlight is gorgeous! I am loving the ~~mountain~~ iceberg 😍 is there anyway we can get a few variations though? I would love to get that mountain on a orange or reddish background if that’s simple to do 🙏

 

I'm trying to use ProtonVPN to set up split tunneling so that my tun0 is the only network device that is protected by ProtonVPN. I need this because I have file & web servers running on this Linux box (Ubuntu).

With previous VPNs I've used, I would use OpenVPN and add to the openvpn config and this work the way I intended:

route-nopull
route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0

With other VPNs I'd just run

curl --interface tun0 ip.me

And that would return a VPN ip address.

For some reason, ProtonVPN seems to be blocking me from using the same workflow. Is there a working guide for ProtonVPN to do what I'm trying to do?

 

Is there anyway to display the name and instance of the OP for a post in the Home feed? I see the name displayed for Community feeds.
