Recommendations for a good .ca domain host?
  • As others have pointed out, CloudFlare doesn't sell .ca domain names due to the ownership restrictions applied by CIRA. I've personally used Web Hosting Canada (WHC.ca) for many years, including their hosting for a while. I also have a couple of domains with Register.ca.

    I then use DuckDNS for dynamic updates and the free tier of CloudFlare for security certificates and some simple access rules.

  • Minecraft players outraged as Microsoft deletes accounts that weren't transitioned
  • I was in a similar situation but I ended up creating a support ticket. They responded by asking me to verify my ownership by responding to their email from the account I didn't have anymore... So you saved yourself some wasted time by not attempting to resolve the issue with them.

  • Valve faces a £656 million lawsuit in the UK for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers'
  • IIRC Steam has used that first clause to limit Steam keys being provided on another store at a cheaper price. I believe devs have been allowed (maybe unofficially) to sell at whatever price they want if there's no steam key being provided.

  • Alternatives to Adobe Creative Cloud for an easily frustrated boomer...
  • Seconding Zotero. I truly don't know how I would be able to keep track of all the research I read through and reference. I especially love that I can highlight passages and attach notes to each entry right inside the desktop app.

    The browser connector is also super handy for quickly adding papers to read-through at a later date.

  • Not buying a shaver from Philips again..
  • If all your devices are USB-C PD rated then you only need to have cables and wall adapters for your highest rated device as all others will only demand what they can tolerate when the handshake happens after plugging in the cable. The only exception would be devuces that don't follow the spec but use the plug for cost saving reasons which is a completely seperate issue.

  • The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing
  • I completely agree, I really enjoyed D:OS II but I just haven't been able to get into BG3 so far. I can't say anything was bad or poorly accomplished but it's just not clicking for me yet.

  • Driving out the devil with the beelzebub
  • From the asbestos.com link someone else posted:

    Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer, but inhaling asbestos also multiplies a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer fiftyfold or greater.

    The carcinogenic risk of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking is exponentially higher than the risk of each exposure added. This is known as the synergistic effect of asbestos exposure and smoking.

  • Why Won’t Men Wear Hot Pink While Hunting? - More states adopt the color alongside orange, but opinions aren’t all rosy
  • So you're okay with their suggestion of introducing wolves to help control the deer population? (which for the record, I'm not denying is genuinely a promising strategy to help with the problem)

    But if you are, then how is that not also "unnecessary killing"? The end result is essentially the same thing, dead deer that become food for another specie.

  • Enhancing the Factorio experience with SAT solvers
  • My understanding from briefly looking at the README is that it essentially aims to help with creating balancers of various sizes (variable number of inputs and outputs) as well as allowing you to restrict the amount of space the balancers should use.

    Would be great if OP could confirm though.

  • Intel i5-12500 vs i5-13500 Unraid
  • I went from an i5-7600K to an i5-13600K and the performance improvement has been worth every penny. Obviously a bit of a different upgrade than what you asked so it's hard for me to say if it's worth it in your case.

    That being said the significant upgrade in core count has helped a ton, I usually have around 30 docker containers running and haven't had any performance issues, previously my whole server would lock up when any docker ran an intensive process unless I pinned cores for unraid itself. Ive also seen a huge improvement with transcoding due to the improved iGPU but I think that was the same one in the 12th gen so you probably wouldn't see value there.

  • Instance Migration

    I might be a bit out of the loop here but why was the decision made to migrate the community to a different instance?

    All I've seen is that it was to move to a "friendlier" instance, did something happen previously or is this just related to the admins of lemmy.ml?
