How is lemmy.ca not in Canada?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It is surprising. A month ago they were Canadian servers, @smorks@lemmy.ca moved it to lunanode (Canadian). ~~Perhaps CDN was moved or the whole machine was moved to a cheaper hosting platform since it got very big from then and is under new admin management as of a week ago-ish.~~

Edit: found the answer from @Shadow@lemmy.ca, TL:DR is CloudFlare

Correct! The server running this and all data is stored in Canada.

Here's a blurb from a doc I'm working on:

Lemmy.ca is hosted in Canada at OVH in Beauharnois, QC with all data on a dedicated server. Backups are PGP encrypted and pushed to the OVH backup service, however these will be moved off-site in the near future.

We use Cloudflare as a security and performance layer in front of the server. They accept the traffic for Lemmy.ca through a worldwide network of ingestion points, scrub it of abusive traffic, cache the images, and pass it through an encrypted tunnel to our server. This means they can see in plain text the data sent between us including your credentials, posts, comments and images. You can read more about their policies at https://www.cloudflare.com/trust-hub/.

Lemmy.world is gone forever for me. 😂 If I sign in, it tells me my log in is wrong. Then I sign on the web, it tells me to enter the 2FA code, I have never set up 2FA. Signed up with another email, kept saying captcha was wrong, then just failed and kept saying user already exists. Tried to log in with the new email that it told me it already existed, then it tells me wrong log in. I just gave up

Edit: this has been very bizarre. Resetting the password sometimes works on the mobile browser only, but not on the desktop. Then now it just never works anymore. I already reset the password once and used it to log in, but on apps it gives an "invalid token" error, on the browser it asks me to enter my 2FA code, but I've never set that. When I try to reset the password again, nothing happens Ruud@lemmy.world would you be able to take a look at this for me, please? I don't know if that's the right way to mention someone. /u/Ruud

If you reset your password then you can log in

[–] donut4ever@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope. That didn't work on any app. It only worked on the web browser. I did clear the cache and data on those apps, still didn't work. That include Jerboa

[–] NigerianPrince@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes it works only on web browser then you can log in and dissable 2FA

Beehaw admins shot themselves in the foot, it was supposed to be the no.1 by now but they decided to persecute the left instead.

[–] lamentforicarus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not really. They never wanted a large instance and didn't want to become a Reddit replacement. I see them more like a federated Tildes, honestly.

[–] Raphael@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

When I switched they were one of the biggest communities, I'm really surprised to see just HOW FAR they fell.

beehaw defederating from lemmygrad was the entire reason why I created an account on lemmy.world
