    It once landed on a ledge above the deposit, so you only needed to drop the bombs.

  • My very basic account security advice for Lemmy Admins
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 100%

    Does plus addresses help circumvent that? I think most email providers supports plus addressing (also known as sub-addressing). You can add plus sign and any string before the at sign. For example: youremail+lemmyaccount1@email.com. The string between plus and at signs can be anything, and all these addresses points to your normal inbox with the added benefit that you can filter them into different folders.

    PS. Lemmy version 0.18.2 was released today. It fixes the vulnerability and has some other improvements as well.

  • My very basic account security advice for Lemmy Admins
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 100%

    Also be wary when using apps and especially when enabling push notifications. Lemmy API currently lacks any kind of support for partial access to an account (unless this has changed recently). So, apps cannot, for example, get read only access to your account's inbox. Apps can get either no access or full access. When you sign up for push notifications, an authentication token is stored to the push notification server which gives full access to your account to who ever happens to get their hand on that token. If there, for example, happens to be a security vulnerability on the push notification server, it might leak those tokens.

    If you have enabled push notifications on some Lemmy app, and want to invalidate the token, you can just change your password.

    Here's a post by Memmy for Lemmy's developer about push notifications: https://lemmy.ml/post/1534493

  • Can a Lemmy instance be configured to only permanently store posts made by users on the local instance, and posts to communties that are on the local instance?
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 94%

    As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

    There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

    There's a new firmware for Kindles from 7th gen Paperwhite to the newest Kindle basic. Newest firmware for Scribe is 5.16.2 (May 2023). Release notes are very short and very generic: > **Version 5.16.2.1 – June 2023** > >Here's what's new: > >Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements. Not listed in release notes, but there is now a button for annotations, that I don't think were there before. Have you noticed any other changes or improvements?

    r/BotDefense is shutting down - I hope Reddit likes spam and malicious actors

    Did you just ask that has Reddit ever given anything back to their volunteers, besides sticks, rocks and ill will?

    Hogfather has a two part TV movie adaptation. It's pretty good, I think. But it's a Christmas movie, so I don't know if you want to watch it middle of summer.

    It's available on YouTube, but split to four parts for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcGPPeBbIv0KY_r7QS_a5c_A0uX19pMhB

    It's all inline images. I assume the devs haven't implemented image markdown yet.

  • I fell for that too
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 100%

    Not an audio engineer, but I had unshielded (thin) cables in my home speaker setup. If the cables were positioned correctly, everything was fine. Accidentally move them even a little, and there'd be a huge amount of noise, due to power cables going near the speaker cables. Switched to shielded (thick) cables, and there's no noise ever.

    A new beta of Mlem for Lemmy was released on 2023-07-02. Among many other improvements, it has greatly improved VoiceOver support. But there are also the following known issues: - Large posts will prevent scrolling by using left and right gestures with VoiceOver - Unable to navigate to a community from a post with VoiceOver You can read all the details from [their announcement post](https://rblind.com/post/2248528). You can download the update from TestFlight. Remember that there are two separate TestFlight betas. The first ended when there was a change in the development team and won't be updated anymore. If you are in that beta, you need to join the new beta to get the new update.

    ELI5 Reddit to Lemmy
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 100%

    Use your instance's search feature. You can search

    • Name of community: No Stupid Questions
    • By using !community@instance syntax: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
    • URL of the community: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions

    First option won't work if your instance hasn't federated the community yet. The last option is best in my opinion.

  • They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 95%

    r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can't see, especially if the software isn't very accessible.

    Someone needs to start a "campaign" for naming and shaming companies who advertises on Reddit. "[This company] supports a company that actively discriminates against the disabled. #SayNoToReddit"

  • Can I migrate to a new hdd without having the reinstall everything?
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 100%

    I would reinstall Windows, especially if the current installation is old. As long as you can connect all the drives to your computer, you can move files from the old disks. If the games on F: and G: are on Steam or Epic (and other similar launchers probably works similarly), it's easy to move the games around using those launchers. Games that have been installed outside of such launchers might not work if they are moved to a disk with different drive designation or if they are moved to a new Windows installation.

  • Did I miss the boat on Apollo Migration?
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 100%

    No, I just meant that one can import Apollo settings to wefwef. But, if you didn’t export the settings when it was possible, there’s nothing you can do about it, except to make sure Christian knows about the problem.

    Might be an oversight by Christian. Maybe he’ll release one more update if people report this bug.

    Btw, at least wefwef.app has a feature to import Apollo’s settings.

  • I have Basic Lemmy Questions.
  • ClassyHatter ClassyHatter Now 100%
    1. On desktop browser you can see list of your subscribed communities on the front page of the instance, below the sidebar (you can collapse the sidebar). On mobile you can expand the Subscribed list. You can also click your name in upper right corner and choose profile. Your communities are on the side (desktop) or bottom (mobile).
    2. You can search for communities either by their name, using the !community@instance syntax (for example, !memmy@lemmy.ml) or by the community's URL (for example, https://lemmy.ml/c/memmy). That last option usually works, when the other two might fail. If the community is not yet federated with your instance, you can wait a few seconds/moments, and the instance might pop-up in to the search results. Or search again later.
