As a Finnish-Canadian I’m all in on this trend. I’ve already switched out the majority of apps and subscriptions to European alternatives and have been buying European products for a while now, even chose the car with that as one of the criteria. I’d love to hear about good Canadian products that I could buy that are available in Europe.
Delpoy Nextcloud with the Memories app. It’s a google photos clone that has the Nextcloud ecosystem behind it which means you can replace Drive, Notes, Reader, Podcasts, Hangouts and more.
Its nice, but Memories app as part of Nextcloud is better and Nextcloud completes the rest of the Google suite (Drive, Calendar, Notes, Reader, Podcasts, Hangouts)
If you’re going to put in the time, Nextcloud has more value.
I use Syncthing to keep various folders synced between my desktop, laptop, phone and tablet.
Most of the folders are just between laptop and desktop (writing, art, etc…) and my phone’s camera folder is set up to share to the desktop so it syncs as soon as I take a picture.
While it’s not an exact replacement in that it does all files, we have been happy with our recent switch. They have a desktop and mobile apps that handle all the syncing.
Our servers are currently in Finland, but this is subject to change if necessary for financial/technical reasons. We’ve also used German servers in the past for example. In general we’re definitely staying in the EU, though.
Well, “.ee” is the country TLD for Estonia. Doesn’t guarantee it’s hosted there, though, and I have no idea what the rules for .ee domain names are (whether they’re restricted to residents or not). My guess would be “hosted somewhere in Europe”.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !canada@lemmy.ca
I’m so happy we have Pixelfed.ca today! Now canadians have an easy drop-in replacement to Instagram!
I believe Fedecan’s next project should be to set up a matrix instance to keep our comms secure within Canada.
Excellent! When pixelfed was growing I was going to join but abstained as there was no .ca instance yet. On and hoping to be active!
Find me @noveda for occasional bread/baking or dog content haha
Maybe right after a Friendica server? 😇
Would that make it Friendicaca?
Obviously
I think we can both agree that the Peertube instance can come last as that would be the most difficult with the storage requirements.
I’m going to join this. I was disappointed there was no Canadian instance when I joined earlier. This is hosting started today?
We’ve been setting up for the past week or so, and we opened registration yesterday :)
Am American. May I join?
What are the second and third icons from the left representing?
Fedecan, ?, ?, CBC, Lemmy.ca
The elephant is the mstdn.ca logo. Not sure about the mountains. It’s familiar, but I can’t place it.
That’s the Pixelfed.ca logo.
Thanks!
OP said something about a Canadian pixelfed instance so I assume that’s one of them 🤷♀️

Any ideas for a Google Photos replacement service?

Self host Immich. It’s a Google Photos clone and has the same look and functionality.
I think it still leans on containers as a crutch. Having been in security and build too long, it’s a no from me.
Why dont you like containers?
Selfhost your own instance of Immich. It’s an open source Google Photos clone, but with better features!
Nextcloud self hosted. Pikapods is European and super easy but someone else can chime in with Canadian options.
Immich

I absolutely love this app. I dropped my iCloud Photos and moved to this self hosted via docker.
I paid the base license for this. I now they’ve changed the way they do things for the underlying license, but for me, it’s been great!
Why is it impossible to find the price for the non self hosted version
Do they even offer a hosting service? I think the product is just the software.

Hey, that’s a great suggestion! I was wondering if there was a Canadian service like this.
Is that an ocean train. Wut.
you never saw the movie 2012? it’s an ark
No. Why is an ark shaped like an aerodynamic train?
tbh, it’s a Roland Emmerich disaster movie. they don’t usually make a lot of sense
best watched with brain switched firmly off
Sounds like best not watched
It’s got cool visuals and a lot of action.
It’s not a complete waste of 2hrs 38mins
It’s bad in an entertaining way
Does anyone know where lemm.ee is hosted ?

Best I can find officially is “not the US”.
everything behind cloudflare these days 😡
