Go voltuneer at a shelter and walk dogs for them first. I don't think you've considered how much work is involved in a dog, are you prepared to adopt a small child?

If no referrer header is sent, CF will let it through. You can copy + paste the url into a new tab to get to it, but I'm guessing some apps don't provide a referrer.

Hmmm, I've been working on some caching changes with Rimu but I've also enabled our second webserver again. I've turned off both again for now, is that better?

I've removed that post for you

Via LA told Streaming Media that it contacted unlicensed media companies during 2025 to give them “a window to secure a license” under the previous terms, but the company didn’t go to the trouble of issuing a press release or public announcement, opting instead for direct outreach. Any company that didn’t respond or wasn't contacted now faces the new rate structure as its starting point for negotiations.

This might be my fault, not the app. I made some caching changes to piefed.ca yesterday to improve performance. Will take a look later today

Edit: No not related to my changes but I've applied a fix, can you see if it still happens now?

Yeah I use VL for lemmy.ca and it's super quick and lightweight, but getting what you want into grafana can be difficult.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Elastic is heaaaaavy. You might want to check out Loki, I haven't used it but I think it'd be easier to get started with than Victoria logs since it integrates tightly with grafana

Yeah 😢 , my phone went off and woke me up this morning. It's also represented on https://status.fedecan.ca/

I did a whack of tuning on Sunday, banning bots and adding the second piefed server back in. That seems to have mostly stabilized lemmy, but piefed is a little more rocky still. May need to give me to the end of the long weekend to try to things back close to 100% uptime.

I am missing cloudflare a little now 😂

I prefer network in the middle. When you're running 3-5 cables per host, it helps keep the cable density managable.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

VL is really about aggregation, not displaying it. You'd probably just need to setup a grafana dashboard with filters for all your normal traffic

No you can't run Linux effectively on anything higher than an m2 (yet).

An air would is fine for most people.

I've just completed moving lemmy.ca and piefed.ca away from using Cloudflare's proxy service, this means traffic now comes directly from our server instead of being routed through any US based companies. Pixelfed.ca is still on deflect.ca for the moment.

Let me know please if you run into any problems or errors!

Note that in order to avoid making too many major changes at once, our DNS is still hosted by cloudflare. I'll be moving that away from them later this week

Update April 3rd: We've off their DNS now too, and pixelfed.ca is now off deflect as well. All done rearranging!

 

With the recent willingness of the US Government to pressure its tech agencies into revealing user data without a proper judicial warrant, we've decided it's overdue for us migrate away from Cloudflare.

We'll be transitioning our sites over to https://deflect.ca/ over the next week or so, starting with pixelfed first before doing lemmy and piefed.

I hope to be able to do this without any noticeable downtime, but it is a major config change that will require some backend changes as well. I'll make an announcement before/after and you can always check https://status.fedecan.ca/

Update Feb 16: pixelfed has been migrated to deflect

Update Feb 20: I'm working with deflect on improving performance before migrating lemmy / piefed over. Currently pixelfed load times aren't great due to traffic often hitting edge nodes way out in Europe

Update Mar 17: Unfortunately performance with Deflect isn't where I want it to be since their nodes are out East and our server is in Vancouver. As a result we're just going to be dropping the CDN altogether and hosting directly off our server. I'm planning to do the switchover this weekend (March 20-22), but in the meantime you can use https://test.lemmy.ca/ or https://test.piefed.ca/ if you'd like to bypass Cloudflare.

 
 

We were still on 0.19.13 so I've bumped us up to 0.19.15

Tldr: the idea of it being used to attack the UN is total fear mongering. They were probably just sending spam
