Most users do not pay attention to which instance someone is on, only a vocal minority seem to care. Even less will actually join an instance from just seeing it, as they’re likely already on an instance in the first place.

So once again, it just makes it impossible for people to curate their feeds. It makes you look like a spam bot, especially with how rapidly you repost things. And the amount of accounts with the same name really make you look like a spam operation.

It does far more harm than good in my opinion, and I actively avoid upvoting any of your posts because of that. If you just created the placeholder accounts and didn’t post with them, I wouldn’t feel this way.

You seriously don’t see how crazy the screenshots above look?

This is hilarious.

Edit: lmao, exposed raw EXIF data

Edit 2: there’s an IQ field where people lie and put it at 130. I just found one that says “140-159”

The sites are still wiped (other than the homepage). It was real:

As of this writing, WhiteDate, which Hoffmann described as a “Tinder for Nazis”; WhiteChild, a site that claimed to match white supremacists’ sperm and egg donors; and WhiteDeal, a sort-of Taskrabbit-esque labor marketplace for racists, are all offline.

The administrator of the three websites confirmed the hack on their social media accounts.

“They publicly delete all my websites while the audience rejoices. This is cyberterrorism,” the administrator wrote on X on Sunday, vowing repercussions.

Sweet, thank you!

But why post with a million different accounts? That is the problem here. It’s not about supporting small instances when you use these accounts to post to huge instances like lemmy.world (which you do frequently). You could just create an account on a smaller instance, create the community with it, and never use it to post to a big instance.

You can do the same for the “imposter” problem you bring up, although I’m not convinced it’s really a problem. I honestly wouldn’t give a shit if someone used my handle on another instance - I only use this handle on Lemmy and no where else. If someone really started being a shitty person with my handle on another instance, I would just say that it’s not me and I have no idea who they are and leave it at that.

Like this is just crazy, man, I don’t know what else to say:

Any plans for an HA integration, maybe even as the source of the location data? I’ve been using HA for that and would prefer to not drain my phone battery further with two location services.

I wonder if OwnTracks can do it…

But why use a million accounts to do that? You can use one, and then people will actually be able to curate their feeds accordingly.

AerynOS and Chimera Linux, to save you a click.

Also I haven’t seen this cm0002 alt yet, gunna tag it. I have a strong dislike of what this user does (basically cross posting without linking back to the original, usually minutes after something is posted. It would be one thing if they just happened to post the same article as someone, but they frequently post the same article minutes after someone else). I guess it’s not really a big deal, but it makes it difficult to block them when they have a million accounts on a bunch of different instances. This is probably a bad example since it doesn’t seem to be posted anywhere else, but that makes it even more annoying in my opinion.

I use Frigate and Reolink cameras. I have a Home Assistant install to access the cameras remotely through reverse proxy.

ssh aliases changed my life

People have been saying this for a year, and the line only keeps going up.

It hasn’t existed that long.

I know it works with Home Assistant and doesn’t work with gadgetbridge (as far as I can tell). My hope is that eventually Gadgetbridge will be able to send my health stats (through Health connect) to my HA install.

Yeah, your last point might be an issue for this. But if you manage to find a heater that works as a simple on/off, this z-wave high power relay might suit your needs: https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/products/zooz-z-wave-long-range-high-power-relay-zen78-800lr

I would be very careful with automating a heater in your garage, as they’re obviously a fire risk, especially when unattended. I would make sure whatever automation you land on has safeties based on if you’re home, if a smoke alarm goes off, or if connection to your controller is lost (this one would be more difficult to automate, but is probably doable with an esp32 or similar).

There’s always caddy-cloudflare: https://github.com/CaddyBuilds/caddy-cloudflare

This works perfectly with Cloudflared tunnels. I use it for full https (validated) in completely internal endpoints.

Is this similar to the built in KDE night light?

Did I say anything to argue otherwise? Since you brought it up, internet infrastructure grants should go to fiber PUDs and not a billionaire nazi. Then, there’s no need to have satellites. He’s polluting the skies for profit.

While true, they continuously replenish the ones that fall back to earth. I wouldn’t be surprised if their current launch pace is higher than the amount falling out of orbit. That’s not even mentioning the impact they have on ground-based astronomy.

Thanks! I’ll add it to the todo list.

I’m a current gitea user… should I be moving to forgejo?
