the 1% that don't happen to be all the major multiplayer games people acturally want to play
Whats this suppose to mean? That 1% just tells Linux users that the developers & publishers simply don’t care enough about their product.
Linux massively beats Windows
History has been made.
The likely hood of this happening? Slim, given that he (Carney) still intends to confiscate licensed/registered firearms from PAL/RPAL holders.
Canada needs to keep a close eye on the US given the whole 51st state fiasco.
I dunno, I started with Debian and then many months later learned that it was one of the harder distributions given the outdated packages.
Glad I chose Debian because Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kali Linux, PureOS, etc are all derivatives of it.
If all competitors have to compete with the same class of firearms, I don't see the problem.
Personally i can’t comment on the rules to IPSC as I don’t partake in the competition myself however, for someone who does partake it can be extremely infuriating to prepare yourself (get a new rifle, attachments, optics, etc) for the government to then restrict your access to these items therefore giving you a disadvantage compared to your peers.
You want fully unrestricted firearms? Move to Texas or Arizona or New Hampshire or Florida etc. there's no second amendment in the Canadian Constitution.
I never commented on the Canadian Constitution and in fact in my last comment praised the current restrictions we had for handguns pre Bill C21.
I agree unfettered access to firearms is not the goal, America has proven that time and time again however, citizens who abide by the government policies in regard to firearm to then be treated as the sole root cause to the increase in firearm crime is absurd!
There are over 9000 approved firearms Canadian citizens have access to.
Keep in mind all the different colour schemes & “furniture” base firearms can come with. The Derya TM22 is a prime example of the same rifle just in numerous different colours.
Lobby and advocate for the hobby and legal and safe access. Do take all necessary precautions and absolutely take this into account for all future voting choices. Advocate for safe and common sense gun laws.
That’s what I’m here for! Lemmy doesn’t really have a “/r/CanadaGuns” community and I hope to build it up by providing accurate and sensible information.
I see no need for the far right slant though.
The last election was really disappointing for firearms owners, a lot of us are left-leaning however, given the recent treatment of our hobby it pushed a lot of people to vote conservative.
I won’t comment on the election much as I feel like that’s history that we should move on from, heads held high!
To give some back story, this all started in 2020 with Bill C21 executed by an Order-In-Council (OIC) or as most people know as the Handgun “reclassification” or Handgun ban, to quote our government:
Note/Edit: Essentially the OIC is like an emergency act, it lets our Prime Minster bypass judicial due process to enact laws as they see fit.
TLDR, Handguns are technically considered a “Restricted” firearm (Canada Firearms Classifcations) because of their short barrel, magazine fed, easy to conceal nature and require an authorization from the Canadian Firearms Office before being legally transported (ATT), which is fair however, after Bill C-21 essentially every handgun has ended up as a “Prohibited” firearm which prevented people from purchasing new Handguns and selling their current handguns, this unfortunately killed the market for people who want to lawfully acquire a handgun.
Fast forwarding to 2024 the Government of Canada had reclassified over 100 families of firearms (mainly Semi-Automatic rifles & shotguns) as Prohibited, my personal gripe with this is how they claim a .22Lr chambered rifle that is capped to 10-15 rounds is meant for war but I digress, further fast forwarding to March 2025 where we received yet another list of newly reclassified firearms (again Semi-Automatic rifles & shotguns) further pushing the narrative that licensed firearms owners are the main cause to the increase in firearm crime.
These regulations apply to every licensed firearms owner in Canada, not just sports shooters. Hope I answered your question, feel free to reach out if you want to know more or for a better explanation.
Ian Runkle Raises More Than $50,000 to Challenge ‘Nullification’ at Supreme Court

Ian Runkle, a firearm lawyer, raised more than $50,000 to file a case with the Supreme Court of Canada and challenge the government’s so-called “nullification” tactic to criminalize gun owners and confiscate our gear.
His fundraising campaign on GiveSendGo.com attracted $53,269 in donations as of 09 a.m. Toronto time today, exceeding the $40,000 goal.
“I am going to the Supreme Court of Canada to fight for procedural fairness for gun owners,” Runkle said on X.com on May 13. “This is a critically important time and a critically important case. But I need your help:”
After he files at the Supreme Court, Runkle will need to convince the judges to hear his case. They may refuse.
“In most cases, a party who wants
You’ll end up with better quality images this way compared to transferring them to Canon servers where they’ll likely be compressed or altered.
Canadian laws prevent practical shooters from taking their guns to international competition in Czechia
Canada’s latest firearms restrictions have forced Regina’s Wes Stevens to travel unarmed to the 2025 World Shoot.
Stevens is one of four Canadians to qualify for the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) event slated for May 19-24 in Znojmo, Czechia, where a recent Canadian government policy prohibiting possession of their guns has forced the Canucks to rent pistol-calibre carbines from an American manufacturer.
“It was kind of a kick in the teeth,” said Stevens, 36. “When last fall rolled around I ordered a brand-new gun because I was representing Team Canada. So I was gonna go all out and build one with everything I wanted.
“I needed a backup anyway, so I bought a base gun and wanted this hand guard, this trigger, these grips, this optic. Everything was in the mail and then the government put in all these restrictions.”
Stevens quickly cancelled his order and obediently locked up his older gun, a Freedom Ordnance FX-9 (millimetre), because it was added t
Don’t worry, once Canada enacts its firearm confiscation Ukraine will have a plethora of used .22 Lr rifles in the finest hot-pink camo and magazines pinned to 10-15 rounds.
or… better yet, not agree to the Russia’s terms and prevent the app outright?
Some how more expensive than a private room?
A hotel certainly costs a lot more than that,
Have you tried a user-agent switcher? Trick their website into thinking you’re using Safari on MacOS?
Reverse proxying was tricky for me, I started with Nginx Proxy Manager and it started out fine, was able to reverse proxy my services in the staging phase however, once I tried to get production SSL/TLS certificates it kept running into errors (this was a while ago I can’t remember exactly) so that pushed me to SWAG and swag worked great! Reverse proxying was straight forward, SSL/TLS certificates worked well however, overall it felt slow, so now I’m using Traefik and so far have no complaints.
It’s honestly whatever works for you and what you prefer having.
My company has their own llm now meant for internal employees, what baffles me is they exposed the domain to the internet. Can’t wait for this to backfire.
I honestly never tried Ventoy myself so I can’t really give you a proper answer to this however, after reading into it I see no reason why it wouldn’t work? So long as GParted can access the systems disks there shouldn’t be an issue.
Put a GParted ISO on a thumb drive using Rufus or BalenaEtcher, in your BIOs change the boot order so that GParted boots first, boot into GParted an then readjust/delete your partition as you need be.
Pretty straightforward for the most part.
I agree, hence why I left the note at the bottom of that comment, yes it does encourage bad practices but, if all OP cares about is that it works then it should be fine.
In my other comment I instructed OP to move the volume to their users home directory so they don’t run into permission issues like this again.
Taking a look at your docker-compose.yml I see this volume mount:
undefined
volumes: - /volume1/SN/Docker/searxng-stack/searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
Whereas /volume1/SN/Docker/searxng-stack/searxng is the directory on your system docker is attempting to use to store the files inside the container from /etc/searxng.
Example of a volume mount that’ll likely work better for you;
undefined
volumes: - /home/YourUser/docker/config/searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
The tilde (~) acts as your current users home directory not owned by root and where docker persistent volumes should be stored. (aka: /home/YourUser)
Edit: I feel like I was wrong here, given that your run sudo in docker compose up -d the tilde will likely not work here and instead point to the /root directory instead. I’ve updated the above to reflect the appropriate directory for your volume mount.
After making the change over to that directory and configuring SearXNG how you like re-create your docker container with sudo docker compose up -d —force-recreate
Apologies for the poor formatting, typing this on mobile.
Edit:
Note: if you want to expose the port do not add the 127.0.0.1 like how I have in my docker-compose.yml.
Edit 2: Corrected some things..
Experience crossing into the USA?
Afternoon y’all.
My company is trying to get me to go to the US to train some folks in our department, the problem is I don’t trust the US border agency whatsoever especially when it comes to my digital devices.
My boss crosses weekly so it makes me think there won’t be an issue however, I really don’t want to take the chance of being searched.
What’s been your recent experience crossing the border?
Edit: I should note that I haven’t left my province in about 15 years so this is all new to me.
Edit 2: Thank you all for the responses, I spoke with a majority of my co-workers and HR and for the most part everyone agrees that the Americans should come up to Canada or we train someone who is comfortable entering the US.
My HR department is going to speak with my boss hopefully sorts out a plan that works with everyone.
Need suggestions on Camping locations that ideally work well with firearms
Evening y’all, me and a buddy of mine have been scouting locations around the Squamish area that work well for Camping that also won’t cause issues if firearms are discharged.
We checked out Furry Creek trying to see Witch Peak today however, the trail was gated off and had a sign up from BC Hydro/BC Wildlife that stated no shooting which bummed us out, any suggestions are much appreciated!
Note: Hunting isn’t our intention, we intend to bring paper/metal targets with us for our non-pal/CORE holding friends.
Edit: Doesn’t have to be the Squamish area, we hoped the area would work because of the views.
CRUSADER ARMS CRYPTO NOW PROHIBITED IN CANADA
Unfortunately, the Canadian-made Crusader Arms Crypto rifle has been officially added to the list of prohibited firearms. This decision marks another significant development affecting Canadian gun owners, industry stakeholders, and the manufacturer, Spectre Ltd.
Long story short, my bank/credit-union doesn’t support debit-visa and the only way I can make online payments through my bank account is via PayPal.
PayPal is a pain in the ass to work with and I would like to use Privacy.com’s virtual debit/credit cards however, they lack support for banks/credit-unions outside the US.
Note: I like to use my CC as less as possible hence why I use my bank for majority of my online payments.
How do you host your DNS sinkhole/resolver?
Currently have nice long docker compose file that hosts my PiHole V6 container (along with a bunch of other containers) however, reason i ask this question is because whenever I go to pull an updated image and recreate the container I experience about 20 minutes of no DNS resolution which to my knowledge is due to the NTP clock being out of sync.
What’s the best way to host a DNS sinkhole/resolver that can mitigate this issue?
Was thinking of utilizing Proxmox & LXC but I suspect I’ll get the same experience.
Update: Turns out PiHole doesn’t support two instances, I got both of them on separate devices also set the 2nd DNS server in my routers WAN & LAN DNS settings which did in fact split DNS between both instances however, I lost access to my routers web-ui, my Traefik instance & reverse proxies died and I lost all internet access.
So, don’t do what I did.
Update 2: So everything I said in my first update let’s disregard that, turns out I had my router forcing all
As promised, here is the list of newly prohibited firearms from today's Public Safety announcement. The list "includes semi-automatic firearms with sustained rapid-fire capability (tactical/military design with large capacity magazine) that are not suitable for hunting or sport shooting, and exceed ...
"Today's Liberal government announcement is as deceitful and deceptive as every other action they've taken on the firearm file. Since 2020, the Liberals have insisted that their relentless targeting of exclusively licensed gun owners has had no effect on hunting or sport shooting. This is clearly and entirely false. In fact licensed gun owners are the only group that have been targeted by everything the Liberals have done on guns.
Since 2020, the Liberals have insisted that there are innumerable replacements for the firearms they were banning. The Prime Minister himself even announced on CTV that inevitably the Liberals will have to ban some firearms that license gun owners have been using for hunting, but they can simply replace those firearms with others that are not on the list.
And as predicted, almost every year since then, they have generated lists of the firearms that Canadians have spent untold sums of their own resources replacing their banned firearms, all the while trustin
Fresh Debian 12 install and Steam having issues managing files?
Good afternoon y'all.
I recently installed Steam on a laptop running a fresh install of Debian 12 & KDE Plasma. I've done this dance numerous times on other hardware however, this time when installing games through Steam they hang at 100% Downloaded & Installed and only complete when i pause them, one occasion two games simply wouldn't install and took me a full day fighting with Steam to finish them and clear the queue.
Steam can't seem to move files between drives (note: one drive is an SSD and the other is an HDD) or uninstall files and i assumed this was a permissions issue at first however, comparing the directory permissions from the laptop to my desktop (also running Debian 12 & KDE Plasma) i see nothing out of the ordinary.
Any suggestions are appreciated - Some things I've already tried.
Packages similar to Earlyoom?
So recently I just come across Earlyoom and it has completely resolved my desktop crashing and better handles my memory, I was wondering if there is any other software that I’m missing that could potentially improve my systems resource handling?
Distro = Debian 12, KDE Plasma 5
Figured it's only fair I share the first post here! Shame I was only able to take the Vector out once to the range before they banned her 🙁
