I’ll admit, it was a blunder on my end to trust a random Reddit post, i hoped people would have done their homework properly however, i have updated the image as best as i could removing the single offender and including FRT numbers.

Apologies.

Firearms Reference Table

Public Safety Issuing the Prohibition

The problem i see with Linux is that we all seem to have to rely on interpreting documentation on some level, whereas on Windows or Mac people search a problem, some article vaguely describes the issues they have, said article recommends [Insert Software Installer Here] to resolve aforementioned issue, people are pleased their issue is resolved without actually knowing what really changed on their system.

What do i say to my friends to get them to leave? Ive already tried and they won’t.

I just abruptly switched to Matrix and encouraged anyone who wanted to get a hold of me to do the same, held my ground and did not look back, now a good handful of my friends have a Matrix account.

Misconfiguration with SMTP is likely or their SMTP server is under maintenance and you just tried at a poor time.

Granted for a production environment there should be some notice to users.

Setting up Element Call on my instance was difficult on its own, I understand why Synapse doesn’t come with it out of the box, essentially you spin up Matrix’s JWT service for authenticating clients and it if approved forwards the connection to the Livekit ports which must be opened on your firewall (ie port forwarded), otherwise people will not be able to connect to calls.

Big PITA and in my experience, on my home network, can conflict with games with VOIP chats so don’t follow the default 50000:55000 port range Livekit recommends or you’ll run into issues like I did, each person consumes 2 ports so adjust the range to your need.

Edit: I don’t suggest running Element Call standalone, it has issues of its own, once you get Livekit and JWT running and follow This guide you should have your element call support in Synapse now, pro-tip for those running synapse behind docker and get confused on the whole ./well-known part of the documentation you can edit your ./well-known in your homeserver.yaml file like such:

serve_server_wellknown: true

extra_well_known_client_content:
  optional: client
  "org.matrix.msc4143.rtc_foci": [
      {
          "type": "livekit",
          "livekit_service_url": "https://livekit-jwt.your.domain/"
      }
  ]

Element and Element Call, although no streaming audio support on the horizon anytime soon.

Votes are the people

I find it hard to believe when Quebec and Ontario hold well over half of the electoral districts, and a Minister on the Liberal side having already admitted to certain policies being implemented solely for Quebec voters.

This voting system doesn’t seem fair for the rest of the provinces and territories, but I’m just an average joe so what do I know eh.

I understand the need for votes but they shouldn’t be able to twist or downplay statistics for political gain.

API change killed Apollo, used Narwhal on and off for a year but ultimately did not want to pay a subscription for a social media platform, downloaded Voyager and here we are.

I backed up my Reddit subscriptions and multi-reddits and have them as shortcuts on my Redlib instance.

Been working on /c/ca_firearms_rights@sh.itjust.works hoping to build up a community similar to /r/CanadaGuns!

This government doesn’t care about statistics, they only care about their precious votes, not the people.

That you only used a noisemaker. This isn’t complicated.

It’s not complicated to grasp the idea of self defence either.

I’ll refer you to the time when you claimed that without your gun you would have been in trouble, when in fact you admitted you only used it as a noisemaker.

What difference does it make? We used them as noise makers opposed to firing directly at bears?

I never said them being noisemakers were effective either, I said we had left the area quickly afterwards avoiding the conflict all-together, ultimately the bears were approaching our campsite and if we had been asleep and they were outside our tents with no firearms we’d be cooked.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who also thought that.

You used them as a noisemaker,

Yes.

so you didn’t need a weapon

What makes you say that?

It makes you feel good to have it, even if you don’t actually need it.

I’ll refer you to the many times I mentioned predator defence, also doesn’t mean I don’t target shoot or clay shoot as a hobby.

Maybe you cuddle with it, I don’t know.

If I wanted too I legally could, but I don’t, firearms stay in the safe.

Bear spray is very effective, probably more so than a gun

No doubt bear spray is effective but there is always a chance the predator does not give a shit and is hungry enough to fight through it.

As a European that just shakes his head about Muricas love for kill tools, you don’t need a gun as average person.

I’m not too sure on Europe’s hunting history however, a lot Canadians still hunt for meat and resources, it’s tradition to a lot of people and has been rooted into our history.

And certain people ultimately have no choice, they live or work so deep in Canada that getting a grocery store can be hours away.

I sometimes think you’re stuck in the middle age or wild western or something like that…

Everyone has different lives man, I’m sure there are things in your life that others could not relate to.

Are you going to gamble your life with just a shotgun?

If it were a life or death situation and I had to pick between bear spray, bear bangers or a 3” slug traveling at 1000 feet per second I will take the slug every time.

because you didn’t actually need your firearms, since you didn’t use them, at least not as firearms.

I fail to understand how you came to this conclusion, firearms serve multiple purpose and in our situation they were to ward off predators which they worked beautifully for such task.

Deterrence is not a replacement for defence.

If you’re facing a predator that is larger than you are you going to gamble with your life with just bear spray and bear bangers?

I stand corrected, apologies.
