Instability on the app?
Hey all, I am having trouble submitting requests this morning to Lemmy.ca. Creating posts (like this one) I attempted 3 times all of which failed to complete their requests after minutes of waiting.
Beefier servers needed? More caching? Sure, let's do that. That said, I think there should be some UI improvements on the client side that improve the experience when we do encounter flakey servers.
My suggestion is to time out on the high-request-count workloads on the client side so that you're not accidentally hammering the server with requests that won't complete. Client side js code should convert a request like the create post green button to a error / retry button with text explaning what happened (hey the request timed out after x seconds).
I don't imagine /create_post is a high throughput endpoint, but suffice it to say that my request continued to wait in the queue patiently for the server to never respond and it was also a frustrating client-side experience. Other endpoints are probably the culprit behind any excessive server use.
Client-side it should time out after 15-30 seconds, if not less, so that I'm not just waiting and re-typing everything into the create post form again (because there's no way to retry if it's still waiting for the server response!). Re-typing everything in is the worst!
You're white, right? An immigrant?
Didn't realize you psychopaths were on here already
Controversial opinion but yes, the stochastic violence he invokes has provoked a direct and proportionate response that is morally justified.
Furthermore, people who identify with the dumper are disincentivized from pulling similar stunts. It's a good thing for society when those willing to commit actual violence with hate, trashing the words mmiwg, such as this man, it's a good thing that they now know there is physical danger or danger to their property that comes with their hate acts.

You do that on your end. Right click.
Very competitive and fun 😀 much more entertaining than a Moose game!
Another expert I saw mentioned that their predictions of the worst-case stuff for the future is that it will be twice as bad compared to now. A lot of lives and houses, infrastructure, etc. can be lost when live in a reality where our fire fighting has to pick and choose which cities and livelihoods we save.
The Sea Bears basketball game at MTS Centre was so much fun!
Watch "Seabears Home Game June 29 2023 vs River Lions" on Streamable.
I had a great time with my crew. The music was too loud at times, but other than that it was a great experience and I will definitely be returning in the future.
Some great info, thanks. I do have a bike already and I am mechanically inclined.
Excellent, keep it up government. Thank you to the Senate and to the house of Commons 👏👏 great job following Australia!
Link taxes are a great thing for democracy and to combat the largest corporations in history. They're really effective and they've been used before. See Australia. Facebook/Meta paid and is paying.

Common term. It means dollars of tax per 1,000 dollars of assessed value.
Yes this is true everywhere in Canada. Property owners have very few obligations beyond mowing the lawn and paying property taxes which have shrunk by 70% since the late 90s relative to the sale price of a home. It's dirt cheap to own a property once you've acquired it.
Winnipegs mill rate is 12.9 today. In 2002 it was 29! Before that it was even higher.
Electric bike options in Canada - best bang for buck?
Hey, I'm looking to buy a new bike (or used!) that's electric in someway. Any recommendations that won't break the bank? $2k for a bike has got me reeling.
I left Toronto because I couldn't afford to buy a somewhat cheap condo or a reasonable house. My household income was $160k at the time. It's a nice city with great services, great people, but the housing is unbelievable - it forced me and my family out with our two kids.
I have also visited Copenhagen and it's the same there - extremely high housing costs means that you're poor by default unless you bought in 20-30 years ago. Great, I can buy a beer for 5 kroner, but housing is an apartment for $300k
Calgary, Sydney, Auckland, Vancouver... yes, all of these also apply.
Any places like this in Manitoba?
A controversial bylaw means Pride flags can no longer fly from municipal property in Norwich, Ont. Locals say it's another example of coercive control by a church — but is it?
Sea Bears Basketball! Who has been?
I am going to my first game next week and I'm wondering how others have found it. I heard that the ending of the game is different, that it has a race to a certain score. Is that true? Sounds exciting!
Manitoba crash: 15 dead in ‘tragic’ highway collision near Carberry
RCMP from across the province were deployed to the scene along with the STARS air ambulance services from Winnipeg and Regina and other first responders.
Tragic crash at the intersection of two highways 😔
