Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare"
  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    Many (if not most) new cars have their own cellular service built in. They spin this as being able to hotspot to your vehicle if you pay for data or being able to remote lock/start your vehicle with their app. However, the vehicle manufacturer has their own plan allowing them to relay back telemetry data regardless of whether you buy a data package.

  • Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next:
  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    Not sure that’s entirely true. Thankfully this attack vector required custom emojis, so it was limited to those specific Lemmy instances. Other attack vectors we may not be so lucky and it could spread through federation.

  • Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next:
  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    Lemmy decided to go with SHA256 for TOTP seed. This is a very odd move since many 2FA apps don’t support SHA256. I actually had to write a quick python script to spit out my 2FA code since Bitwarden doesn’t support it. Hopefully either Lemmy will change to SHA-1 or Bitwarden will start to support SHA256 seeds.

  • YSK: You can use Libreddit instead of Reddit for more privacy and no ads (and no traffic/views for Reddit)
  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    I started using SearXNG and actually blocked Reddit from the results. As someone who almost always put “Reddit” in my google searches, I’ve been impressed with the quality of my search results without relying on Reddit.

  • T-Mobile Starting to Really Grind My Gears
  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    Boost or US Mobile are the new Mint. Think Boost actually has a chance of hanging around for a while since they are owned by Dish who is building out their own network of towers (think they just hit coverage of 70% of US). They also use both T-Mobile and AT&T for roaming with their rainbow sims, which is extremely rare. US Mobile is a Verizon MVNO.. their "unlimited" package has the same priority as post-paid Verizon customers for the first 30gb each month, but I'm afraid they're eventually going to get bought out by Verizon ala Mint.

  • What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?
  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    I think you mean explicitly open the port on your router, but even then that’s not true. Plex by default will proxy your traffic so that even closed off servers can be reached. It is pretty easy to disable remote access in the server settings though.

  • I moved from Windows to macOS for work — and I never want to go back
  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    I ran arch (btw) for years on my XPS. Just grabbed the new Air 15 and I don’t think I could go back. Considered trying Asahi, but I just don’t see a reason to.

    I believe Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.link, however they haven't said anything to me privately or publicly. The most recent post from a Lemmy.link community on Beehaw is over 3 days old. Beehaw is very serious about their curation/moderation and local communities, so I was not surprised to see them defederate. Unfortunately I think you'll need to hop instances if you want to sub to any of Lemmy.link's communities.

  • Notorious Notorious 1y ago 100%

    This makes me feel old. One of my friends had Sega channel and it was so far ahead of its time. Spent all summer playing the new games. It functioned very similarly to the new Game Pass services with how they rotated games in and out.

    Good catch. He's a marked bot now.

    So far the usage is fairly low. The biggest community !news_tech@lemmy.link has 70 subscribers. As the subscriber and comment count grow, so will the mod team.

    Every community has their feeds listed in the sidebar. That is actually how the bot is controlled. It looks up communities, scrapes any RSS feeds in the sidebar and then posts any unseen links to the community.

    I don't think this would be the correct avenue to go about that. That functionality would require Lemmy to implement so that upvotes and comments are transmitted over. All this is is automatic posting of RSS feeds to communities.

    Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner next to your notifications. Make sure you are searching for "All". There appears to be some sort of bug where if you search for communities that it won't return anything. If you search "All" it'll find the community. Make sure to put in the actual name of the community you're wanting to find in this format: !community@server.url. You wan't to put in the actual community name, not the friendly name. In this example I'm searching for Youtube News (yt_news) on Lemmy.link.

  • Hey Fediverse, We've been working on something cool and wanted to share it with you. It's a new project called [Lemmy.link](https://lemmy.link), and it's all about making RSS feeds more accessible and useful on Lemmy. We've noticed there's been a lot of talk in various communities about people shifting back to traditional RSS aggregators like Feedly, TT-RSS, and Newsblur. It got us thinking: why not bring those RSS feeds directly to Lemmy instead? That's how Lemmy.link came to life. Right now, we have 10 communities collecting from over 30 RSS feeds, covering topics from World News and Technology to Business, plus some popular YouTube communities like News, Technology, and Explainers. But we're just getting started, and this is where you come in. We'd love your ideas for new communities or RSS feeds to include. There's just one thing - to keep things running smoothly, we're focusing on shared interests and staying away from personal communities with custom feeds. Also, please note, for now, lemmy.link is closed for signups. You'll need to subscribe from your current Lemmy instance. Once we've incorporated the upcoming 0.18.1 captcha update, we'll take a fresh look at this. So, take a tour of Lemmy.link and let us know what you think. We believe there's huge potential for this project in the Fediverse and your input is a big part of that. Please provide any feedback on !meta@lemmy.link Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy what we've built so far with Lemmy.link. -- Notorious

    Are there any Discord servers or somewhere in the Matrix to chat about hosting a Lemmy instance? I've got Lemmy running, but I think there are several of us in the same boat struggling with federation performance issues and it might be good to have some place to chat real time.

    So I have two raspberry pi 4s on my network. Both are running Raspberry Pi OS Lite. One runs octopi for my Neptune 3 printer and the other runs Mainsail for my Voron 2.4. I’ve had an issue twice recently where both of my Pi’s drop off my network simultaneously. Nothing else becomes disconnected, but nothing is able to access the Pis. This happened once before a couple weeks ago and I simply reformatted the SD cards and everything worked again. Since this seems to be an issue I don’t want to keep reformatting. My Wi-Fi network is UniFi with 3 APs. Has anyone heard of anything like this?

    1. I started off with a server outside of my country and it had terrible latency. When I attempt to change the server it doesn’t change. 2. This may be related to still using the old server due to its high latency, but I’m randomly getting “error loading content” quite a bit when scrolling. 3. It would be fantastic to get multi user and multi server support. With all of the defederating happening right now it would be extremely nice to be able to have multiple account and maybe even merge them together in my feed. 4. Swipe gestures for posts would be a great addition. Other than that for a first commit you’ve done an amazing job. Please add some ability to buy you a coffee on the about page!
