Xirup ,

Care to share your website url? I get interested on it.

Some emails that came in looked as if they came from vulnerable people themselves, asking for help. It may be that they haven’t received or understood the message to update their address book.

I did not interfere with any of the e-mails, as this would go beyond the objectives of this investigation, but it is concerning, to say the least, that these individuals will never receive a reply. They would not have received a response anyway, but it makes me wonder how many cries for help get lost in abandoned e-mail inboxes.

This honestly depressed me, I know firsthand many people who need help from someone who has more or less knowledge to understand something as simple as the migration of a service or an email, it is really depressing not only to know that this happens, but also that There are people who are such bastards that take advantage of this.

Could someone explain to me how the author gained access to "I forgot my password" accounts that were not his but were in his domain? I mean, I understand that it's on his domain, but just because I have the domain mydomain@domain.com does that mean I can redirect all emails to the main domain? Excuse the dumb question.

Edit: Thanks for the clarification! Now I understand!

Is it normal for a new lemmy instance to display n+1 registered users on the status page?

I created a lemmy instance and noticed the stats on the index page showed that the instance had 2 users registered, even though only the admin account existed at that point. I created a second account, and now it shows 3 users. However, the database query SELECT name from person WHERE local='t'; only shows only the admin account...

Xirup ,

That's right, but from a user data perspective, Google does not know that you are the one watching the video, so it cannot sell your data.

Xirup ,

I know this is a bit offtopic, but on e621(warning: furry site) there is a userscript called Re621 that in the absence of a 'subscription' system allows you to subscribe and creates a kind of notification within the page that notifies you when an artist you subscribed to uploads new art, without the need for an account. Something like this would be ABSOLUTELY GREAT if it existed for Youtube, because I could just export my subscriptions and that's it, if I format my PC I don't lose my recommendations.

Since I can't really help and I don't know if something like this exists for Youtube, I wish it does because I also use Youtube without an account, but something I can suggest you is to use some instance of Piped and create an account (not related to Youtube, it only exists inside the instance) to be able to subscribe and save playlists, but only that in your case, because you will lose the personalized recommendations, you can also use FreeTube and subscribe locally to your favorite content creators there and export it as a backup so that if you were to format your PC, you can remember the names of the content creators to which you were subscribed.

I'm too dumb to understand. 🥲

Xirup ,

I personally know Ente because of Ente photos, but as far as I know they're pretty trustful and in general I believe that people trust in them, and as far as I know they have not had any scandal or sold out to anyone.

Eternity ftw

Xirup ,

One more reason to switch to Linux! (It can't run Valorant)

Xirup ,

It may sound silly, but for a lot of people being unable to play games like Valorant, Warzone or League of Legends it's actually a feature and not a bug or a problem.

Xirup ,

username is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

I guess there is no need to introduce what a Degoogled phone is (or a custom ROM without google services, like GrapheneOS is) and the Aurora Store is basically said in a crude way the Google Playstore but without the need to log in to your Google account, quite useful in my opinion....

Xirup ,

I will never understand this controversial stupidity, why people can not use what they want and this without having "prejudice"?

Xirup ,

In case anyone is interested in an alternative, I personally use LanguageTool because it is open source and works very well.
