Yes. The crows decided they didn't like me and my dog one year, and would swoop us. Now I have crows that come to my balcony for food and hang out even with the dog around, and the rest have all left me alone.

    Yes the customs value will be assessed at the border, and then a customs brokerage fee will be put on top. The customs value will include things you wouldn't expect, like your shipping charges.

    Below a certain value it's not worth the time to pay someone to collect it, otherwise they want their tax income and to encourage local spending.

    Why is the general consensus for making pan fried gyoza/dumplings at home to fry then steam in pan but restaurants par-boil then pan fry? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

    I put them in a pan with some oil and some water, bring to a boil, let the water boil off, then fry to crispen up the outside.

    I'm pretty sure this is the instructions on all the packages I've looked at.

    Reddit / forums are not the sole source of AI training, there's also huge swaths of books, magazines, academic content, news articles, etc. LLMs are also designed to deal with typos, if 97% of people spell it "United" and 3% spell it "Unites" given that context / surrounding text, it'll handle it.

    Lemmy.ca & piefed.ca now behind anubis (lemmy.ca)

    Thanks to a particularly annoying botnet, everyone's favorite anime cat girl firewall is now helping protect piefed.ca & lemmy.ca from bots and scrapers.

    This is requests per second and these are all thousands of scrapers on residential IPs hammering us:

    They'd increase their usage until the site started struggling, then move on. I banned their user agents, but have no interest in a cat & mouse game. Anubis should hopefully keep things running much smoother for everyone.

    Let me know if you have any trouble!

    Luminous5481's ban (lemmy.ca)

    Some recent threads have pulled lemmy.ca into the drama around lemmy.world and Luminous5481. We banned them a few days before LW did, and claims have been made that we're aligned with LW in the pro-zionist behavior LW has been accused of.

    ~8 days ago Luminous had "murder all Zionists" in their name, during which time they banned recursive_recursion@piefed.ca from the community agitprop memes. The reason given was "zionism, genocide apologia" with a 74 year expiry time. Recursive saw this, was confused and insulted by the insinuation / threat, and retaliatory banned Luminous. This happened 2 days before the LW issue began, and from our point of view was unrelated.

    Recursive posted in our internal chat immediately after they placed the ban, letting us all know. We all agreed that being flippant about who Luminous labels a zionist while also repeatedly calling for the murder of zionists, wasn't appropriate for lemmy.ca. It violates our of our "Be Civil" rule, and is toxic behaviour that doesn't belong here.

    None of us knew at the time why Recursive had been banned, although yesterday while digging I found this thread. Luminous placed the ban because Recursive had banned Deceptichum@quokk.au with a "suspiciously similar ban message" to one MrKaplan used. Recursive used "Troll and perpetual history of bad faith behavior" vs MrKaplan removing a comment as "troll". That's a pretty shitty reason to label someone a zionist genocide apologist, while you're calling for the murder of all zionists.

    None of us support Israel, we're all horrified by what they're doing. That doesn't mean throwing around death threats on Lemmy should be tolerated.

    Lemmy.ca and piefed.ca are no longer cloudflared (lemmy.ca)

    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!
