It's join-lemmy.org... .com leads to nowhere.

From some comments I've read, it's at least in better shape than kbin? A few people expressed interest in helping with that project and then went running for the hills after reading through the code.

Closed. If there's a fire in the other parts of your house, you'll have more time to be alerted and escape.

Fyi, you can actually edit post titles here. So you are able to correct the url there too

If you stigmatize psychological care by making it a black mark that shows up on your record, people will just avoid getting the help they need and society will be worse off for it.

The encoded string contains the URL zelensky dot zip. Zip is one of the newer top-level domains. It itself is not a zip file, but I am not going to visit that site to find out whatever treasures it has to offer..

"What's a checkbox? Oh, you mean that thing we use to trick users into 'consenting' to telemetry?"

Really hoping it's "only" redirecting to offensive sites, and not to malware. I got redirected a few times, before I closed my browser.

Thanks for digging in and sharing your findings!

Maybe they already replaced their Writers, Authors, and Proofreaders, and generated the whole thing using ChatGPT.

Linux Mint specifically excludes the snap store due to the many criticisms people have already mentioned here. Doc refers to version 20, but I believe it's still the same in the current version. Not sure about other ubuntu-based distros though.

Look up the instructions for your mail provider to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in your DNS so email services know which emails sent from your domain are actually legit. Without those records telling email servers what's valid and how to handle what's not, it's basically the Spiderman pointing at Spiderman meme.

They couldn't read your comment, unfortunately. All they saw on their screen was:

P_______e_n i_ ___ _ _s

Edit: damnit lemmy removes extra spaces

I just use Firefox Sync. Works on all those platforms.

So, simply viewing a comment thread with a maliciously-altered emoji (on an unpatched instance) was enough to compromise your account?

Last I saw, they were on 0.18.1, unless a very recent update was installed. Do you happen to have a full list of domains they were redirecting to? Just want to be sure they were only going to "harmless" offensive sites, and not something worse.

Good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies

What are you using to monitor wireguard?

Yea I've got both .zip and .mov blocked on my pihole

Alkaline batteries are the crappy ones that leak. Get the more expensive lithium batteries, or go full on rechargeable ones, and you can leave them in without worrying about your device getting ruined.

Thanks so much for this. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out which instance is actually near me. Join-lemmy instance descriptions really should include servers' general locations.

NSFW stuff is supposed to get cut from the API starting July 5th I believe.

Yea, I didn't like that they are going to drop support in the next version or whatever. Not sure if it's their intended replacement, but Wireguard is installed by default in TrueNAS Bluefin. I recently switched to that, and I find the performance is way better than OpenVPN.

Apparently all that data is included in the ActivityPub protocol. On Kbin, every post has an Activity button that shows every user (even those on other instances) that upvoted/downvoted/saved that post. So if a Lemmy post happens to federate to Kbin, all that info can be seen publicly by anyone.

Not all software developers follow those guidelines - either out of laziness or incompetence. Plenty of sites/companies have had password leaks due to improper storage. The best way to protect yourself is to use unique passwords for all accounts.

WTF, the activity button is also on comments. So you can literally see a full list of users who upvoted or downvoted you.

I'm guessing it was done for transparency, but it just seems ripe for abuse. People can take things like downvotes way too seriously. I've seen unhinged users on Reddit go harassing a commenter who disagreed with them.

I do not like this "feature".

For a second, I seriously thought the fediverse logo next your username was an award 😂

My (albeit, somewhat older) j model hits 100% cpu just logging into the web UI. Synologys are nice, but definitely stay away from their budget models.

I mostly just want to log connections and IPs to have a record of things.

While I normally prefer Linux Mint, Fedora was the only distro that worked with all touch features out of the box on my IdeaPad Flex 5. Other distros I tried out (Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, OpenSUSE) had some issue or another that required tweaks: Second-class touch support, like the cursor jumping to where you tap instead of real tap input, applications not drag-scrolling, and the keyboard not re-enabling after flipping back from tablet mode.

If you haven't already tried a USB 2.0 flash drive, give that a go. I find they are less finicky to boot from than some 3.0 drives.

Simplest solution is often the best. To add to this, Thunderbird has what are called Local folders. If you have your other email accounts added, you can simply drag and drop everything into the Local folder to move them off the cloud and into local storage. No email server required. Definitely a good idea to take backups if storing important stuff locally though.

You'd set your firewall rules to only accept requests from the cloudflare datacenter IPs for those port forwards. So, the ports would be otherwise blocked to anyone else trying to access them directly.

Hello, I commented about a bug in the instance selector on a cross post, not realizing that wasn't the actual developer. Not sure if it's related to what you're talking about here, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. Great project by the way!

Somewhat related, I'm so annoyed that my USB 3.0 SATA adapter doesn't pass S.M.A.R.T. data. Didn't even think to check for such a deficiency. Just another thing to watch out for when buying these adapters.

I have one of these mini PCs arriving soon. A little more money than I wanted to spend and no idea if this brand is any good. But it checks a lot of boxes for a backup server project I'm working on - eMMC for boot, microsd slot, M.2 2280 NVME socket, and a 2.5" SATA connection. They have some other variants as well that don't cost as much.

I originally got a used Dell Optiplex Micro from eBay for this. They come with a 2.5" SATA connection. But I learned the hard way that not all models come with M.2.

Well crap. I was waiting until the end of the day to buy it. That's too bad..

Edit: I guess that information was in the image, but would have been nice if it was in the post text too..
