Cloudflare DDos protection isn’t a silver bullet; the attacks are distributed and come from shifting source IPs, and are sophisticated in that they exploit resource intensive queries specifically designed to overload a Lemmy instance. If lemmy.world were to pivot to some other instance, who’s to say the culprits wouldn’t just resume their efforts pointed at the new location? There are theories these may be carried out by the recently-defederated fringe hate communities
Have you tried getting a more updated APK and repatching it? I haven’t had any issues for several months after doing that. ReVanced Manager should tell which version to get.
What domains did you ad to your pihole Blocklist for the LG tv WebOS services you mentioned?
Or even to compete in the labor force, the productivity gains of mainlining the internet will be insane and ppl without it won’t get hired. Ray Kurzweil talks about it a bit in his book “The Singularity is Near,” his take is optimistic though.
I’d say before you even get a dashcam get an AC jump-starter. Those are less than $100
Ooh sweet thnx 4 the tip - will try this later! I was trying via the web dashboard which I’m pretty sure requires a subscription
This is true, but it’s also pretty much the only “shortcoming” of the OS
I’m running netdata on each of my servers and it has every feature I need. If u choose netdata, make sure not to install the nightly builds since they get updated all the time and sometimes break features. One annoying thing with netdata is you have to pay a subscription for the option to disable individual alert types. I have a nearly full hard drive and there’s an alert for that which won’t go away. Same thing for temporary inbound packet drops which seems to happen everytime one particular Plex user forcibly transcodes content (they’re old and remote and won’t change their Plex client settings 😡). Each error they send you an email.
And I’m finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade
Agreed. I personally struggle with the word “intentionally,” however. Meta was aware of the negative side effects of their content algorithms far before the recent Myanmar violence and did nothing to remedy it. There were internal reports about teen suicide and eating disorders several years prior that they tried to hush up, and of course the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal which revealed the extent to which Facebook was supplying third parties with user info that was directly responsible for increased partisanship in the 2016 & 2020 election cycles, and probably (imo) they share some blame for recent hate crimes in the US accordingly. And now we know they definitively hold blame for increased violence in Myanmar. If they knew the effect their platform had and did nothing about it, that to me seems intentional. Just my 2¢
To maintain the analogy - what if the radio equipment were somehow designed to provide stronger, more far-reaching frequencies if the DJs were broadcasting hate speech and military commands, but shorter, weaker frequencies when DJs discussed crimes against humanity? Facebook isn’t a truly open platform, it’s algorithms dictate what users see and what goes viral.
What are you running for your firewall? I’ve been curious about self hosting a Lemmy instance (currently have a few services like Plex, Minecraft, pihole, etc) but do worry about security
I use PiVPN (wireguard protocol) on the same pi I use for pihole exactly like this. Port isn’t forwarded, but I can split tunnel DNS for adblocking on the go and still ssh to my other server
I just switched to Fedora from Ubuntu for my Plex server and I’m referencing the Arch wiki all the time, recently for looking up info about pam/Google Authenticator
Everyone tangentially related to cybersecurity knows by now that frequent password expirations encourage users to set insecure passwords for a net negative to security, so why the hell do cybersecurity insurance providers still require expirations? We have this for my org even though we have SSO backed up with MFA for all accounts. So frustrating!
☝️this guy right here, personal FBI agent! He basically admitted to pirating the JFK movie with Kevin Costner!! 💀
Do you think this mandate will also impede ip68/etc water resistance certifications?
'cause ya never know when your gonna go!
Bad Girls From Mars (1991) if I am not mistaken
Or as my sister used to say: whateverrr
