  • Slandered for exposing their suppression and propaganda

  • already blocked lemmy.ml 🥳

    Create your own damn communities with black jack and hookers instead.

    Exactly what I'm doing. Just adding to the mountains of evidence. On a side note, I just tried the Piefed on the Interstellar app on Android and I'm really liking it. Link for anyone interested: https://interstellar.jwr.one/install/

  • great advice. do you know if there's any kind of "getting started" guide for lemmy? Would be great if step 1 is to block lemmy/lemmygrad and specific/known users.

    FYI yogthos is also on Mastodon, blocking yogthos[@]social.marxist.network should do the trick.

  • AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers

  • devil's avocado: this move has saved many people's cherished photos from disappearing by having them auto save. before Google photos I'd run into cases (I used to do home IT support) where people had years of family photos disappear because they didn't back them up properly. Having to communicate what happened was never fun.

    is Google photos perfect? No, but it's a great solution for people who don't want to manage their data.

  • First server: Buying hardware in a developing country

    Jump

  • fully aware! just don't care much since its so cheap ($270 for 20 TB!) and my last externals (two 10 TBs) served without issue for ~5 years. Just gotta make sure you have backups and upgrade every few years.

  • First server: Buying hardware in a developing country

    Jump

  • I've been running my server on an old laptop and a 20TB external hard drive connected via USB. it's not fast, there's a multi-second delay when the drive goes to "sleep" if nobody has used jellyfin in a while, which makes it appear to not work, but once it spins up it works like normal. this has let me keep things simple and cheap. I back up to another 20TB hard drive, which I recently bought as I could finally afford it. beefy hardware is great but not necessary, if you're okay with some limits.

  • Admin of VTC praises Hamas

    Jump

  • I wouldn't completely rule it out. I suspect it's much easier to "taint" and disrupt smaller communities. A lot less resources could be strategically used against lemmy - or any other small platform - at their early growth stage.

  • Americans have the right to bear arms just as much as they have the right to shout fire in a crowded theatre — it's a right that can be regulated and both already are, one needs more regulation, but people don't seem to understand.

  • Gotta admit, I expected this admin to speedrun fascism, but I'd be lying if I said I was expecting it as soon as April

  • do we actually know that no US citizen has been sent? Without due process, there's no way to confirm. Or am I missing something?

  • New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7

    Jump

  • So I upgraded and tested not adding a trusted proxy (using Traefik in front of Jellyfin) and nothing broke. Was it supposed to break or is it just that its insecure? Am I less secure by not adding it as a trusted proxy?

  • New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7

    Jump

  • everyone does their own thing, but semantic versioning is specifically:

    • Major: Incompatible changes (breaks existing code).
    • Minor: New, compatible features.
    • Patch: Bug fixes, small improvements.

  • The Atlantic releases the entire Signal chat showing Hegseth's detailed attack plans against Houthis

    Jump

  • to add even more to what's already been said, even if Signal's infrastructure was compromised and they could see messages traveling through their servers, each one is encrypted, the keys are rotated with every message (cracking one, which is nearly impossible, doesn't give you access to previous or future messages), and thanks to Sealed Sender, only the recipient knows who a message came from. There are many other layers that they've engineered to ensure they can't know anything about you, like private contact discovery, using secure enclaves, remote attestation, etc.

  • The Atlantic releases the entire Signal chat showing Hegseth's detailed attack plans against Houthis

    Jump

  • Signal is a publicly available app that provides encrypted communications, but it can be hacked.

    This is misleading statement that will only confuse people who want to use a secure messenger.

    To clear things up with anyone who's not technically inclined: Anything can be theoretically hacked. Signal has not been hacked and has no history of being compromised.

    The Signal "hacks" that linked people's Signal client to devices that aren't theirs were sophisticated phishing/spoofing attacks. The equivalent of getting someone to click a malicious link via email because it looked like the real thing.

    A reminder that you still need to do your due diligence even when using a secure service. Technology alone cannot completely protect you.

  • France and Germany, in joint collaboration, have developed a Google Docs alternative - and its awesome! (Netherlands are currently onboarded)

    Jump

  • asked this somewhere else, but does anyone know how it compares to Cryptpad which is also developed in France, open source, self hostable, collaborative, and end-to-end encrypted?
