Houston, who says he is a member of Restore Britain, has not been arrested or charged, but police confirmed his electronic devices were seized.

Not being charged with anything but still having your devices seized, is kinda BS.

    Maybe a fuschia? There's a hardy variety if necessary

    Edit:I misread your size request, but take a look anyways. I'd probably do a fruit tree or something. There's also a hardy kiwi vine you could grow on a trellis

    Landings are pretty much your first focus after basic air work, and you can solo in 15-20 hours typically. A full license is around 80 hours (at least here in Canada), and she had a ppl already.

    When i soloed my instructor was kind enough to get out of the plane while we were on the ground. What a horrible experience for this student.

    I actually buy their abuse reasoning. I'm sure they're happy to do it for other reasons as well, but I'm sure they're just flooded with scrapers and bots. It's a huge issue even for us lemmy admins.

    Hello everyone!

    It’s time for another long-overdue update on how Fedecan and our various sites are doing. It’s been just over two years since the great Reddit migration, and in that time we’ve made some solid progress:

    Finances

    Here’s a look at our bank balance since we began accepting donations:

    We’re currently sitting at around $2,900, with a monthly burn of about $200, which gives us roughly a year of runway. We have some additional annual costs (like domain renewals and non-profit registration), but overall we run very lean.

    Fedecan still owes:

    • TruckBC: $1,980
    • Shadow (me): $525

    These were out-of-pocket hosting and non-profit registration costs from 2023/2024. It’d be great to get those covered, but we want to keep at least a year of operating expenses in reserve.

    If you're a regular user and value what we're doing, please consider donating! We have multiple ways to donate, you can find the comparison and donation links on our website: https://fedecan.ca/en/donate

    Sh.itjust.works

    Nothing major to report here - we’ve all been a bit busy lately, but collaboration is continuing slowly behind the scenes.

    Fediverse Growth

    We're seeing a healthy volume of posts and communities on lemmy.ca, surging with each Reddit drama:

    Infrastructure

    Our server is a Dell R7515 with an EPYC 7763, 1 TB ram and 4x 7.68tb nvme data disks, which is hosted in a datacenter in Vancouver, BC.

    I spun up victoriametrics + victorialogs a few weeks ago and have been ingesting all of our data, giving us the ability to put together some nice grafana dashboards.

    Everything is running great on the infrastructure side of things. Our server is barely working up a sweat and we shouldn't have to worry about scaling for a long time.

    Lemmy.ca still comprises almost all of our traffic:

    Lemmy.ca

    Our over provisioned stack is performing well, handling the occasional lemmy / lemmy-ui dropout:

    Similarly the DB is mostly running out of ram:

    Our object storage is slowly climbing as expected, but we've got several years of capacity to figure out a long term solution:

    I’m also doing some limited analytics on our web logs. As expected, lemmy.world makes up the majority of our federation traffic:

    One interesting thing to see from the user-agent data is the breakdown of traffic by the different mobile clients:

    The “dart” UA is just a common web library, Thunder reports as this and I suspect other clients do too. If you’re a client developer, please set your user-agent!

    Out of the alternative web clients we support, tesseract is the most popular although the overall traffic volume is still low:

    We only store 7 days of logs but I’m hoping to get these pulled out into metrics soon, since it would be interesting to track which clients / interfaces people use over time.

    Pixelfed.ca

    Not much to say on this one, due to using local storage it currently runs on a single VM without redundancy.

    Piefed.ca

    Piefed runs on a pair of VMs with its own database and object storage backends.

    Service Health Response data

    Cloudflare

    If you want to compare against previous data posts, here’s our same cloudflare graphs for lemmy.ca

    As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or ideas. Thanks for being a part of the Fediverse!
