Sike!
  • Yes, obviously that's always been an option.

    I dont see a good solution for the topic we were actually talking about: creating high-power public use charging ports.

  • Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text
  • Considering how old Facebook is, you'd think they would have their shit together when it comes to password security...

  • Sike!
  • It's not so much the connector; but the power delivery standard.

    Type A maxes out at 5v 3a = 15w and is often limited closer to 5v 1a = 5w for public-use charging ports.

    Type C and its power delivery standards can get as high as 50v 5a = 250w (though usually closer to 20v 5a = 100w)

    Then again.... The negotiation for what voltage/amperage to supply happens over the data lines which you don't want connected on a public charging port...

    I dont really see a good solution here.

  • Sike!
  • Takes forever to bring the charge up; but perfect for maintaining battery while you watch/scroll on trips.

  • Best phone sync
  • I tend to just use FolderSync myself. To avoid battery issues, I have a schedule for most folders; but my DCIM/Pictures folders sync immediately upon changes. I then have a widget on my homepage that triggers a 'sync all'. Anytime I need files synced immediately, it's easy enough to click that button.

  • Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
    1. it doesn't necessarily take full resolution images

    2. just because it can capture images a few hundred milliseconds apart doesn't mean it's continuously capturing images. It could be several in short bursts with a delay between groups of images.

  • At the top there is a drop down menu that sorts how you view posts. How do you prefer to sort everything for viewing?
  • Depends on where I'm scrolling and how long.

    In a specific community? Usually sorted by 'new'.

    'Subscribed'/'All' feeds? Generally starting with 'Hot' then moving to 'new' if I start to run into a bunch of content I've already seen.

  • Insanity
  • Yeah, busses only pick people up at stops; they're not allowed to get off until the end of the route...

  • Insanity
  • The morning bus just sucks to get off, but I get on at one of the first stops so I pretty much always have a seat. I even nap most of the way there as it's a ~40min ride.

    The ride home I've often gotta stand for the first 3-4 stops until I can get a seat. Then I can just peacefully watch youtube or scroll lemmy, ignoring the world around me for a bit.

    For a flat $70/mo for unlimited rides; it's not a bad deal really. I'd rather this than driving and being frustrated dealing with the morons on the road; while paying significantly more between car payments, insurance, maintenance, and gas.

  • Insanity
  • We've only got busses. The climate control is usually pretty good though; decent AC in the summer and heated in winter. Just the occasional shitty driver that doesn't set it correctly.

    Tbh the worst part is inconsolable crying babys. That's been pretty frequent this summer; but isn't usually a problem throughout the rest of the year. Otherwise people just keep to themselves, it's pretty peaceful.

  • Insanity
  • The bus I ride every morning is always so full you struggle to get past the standing people to get to the door. The bus home is usually a little less busy, but I'm currently writing this comment while having to stand on that bus.

    Are there regulations for what kind of domain name you can use for a website?
  • There's quite a bit of info here:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

    Some are entirely open, some have usage restrictions like .gov and .edu, some had restrictions but later removed them.

  • Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code
  • To be fair, they aren't specifically targeting this data.

    Rootkits give the software unrestricted access to all the data on the computer. You then trust that they don't use that access for anything nefarious... Aswell as trusting there's no bugs/vulnerabilities in that software that give a third party access to that data.

  • Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code
  • While I haven't looked into this particular anti-cheat; they frequently prevent Linux users from playing altogether, ban users due to false positives, and sometimes even gain/require access to data entirely unrelated to gaming, such as your personal documents or even browser data (cookies, history, passwords/tokens, etc) as many of them contain Rootkits

  • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?
  • GNOME Linux I use it regularly to switch between tasks/windows, as well as windows+arrow keys to snap windows to edges or minimize them.

  • A place/forum/group that is taking requests for ripping content off of streaming services?
  • If you use usenet, many indexers have a requests section. I've had a couple filled at NZBgeek in the past.

  • Work
  • I remember doing this with a group of friends at one point. It was late at night, and we wanted to make as much noise as possible; so we were absolutely pounding on people's doors before running and hiding in their bushes or around the corner. Wherever we could be out of sight, but still see their reaction as they opened the door and raged into the darkness.

    One of my friends decided to kick one door, and managed to break the latch literally kicking the front door in... (must have been pretty weak/damaged already, we couldn't have been more than 13yo at the time) We didn't manage to hide in time and got chased for like 6 blocks before the guy was too tired to chase us anymore and we lost him.

    (I'll note this was not in America; firearms were not a concern in the slightest)

  • What is the purpose of this plastic piece?
  • It's not really what the holes were made for, but there are some extension cords that have a locking feature; a pair of plastic pins moved by a lever that lock into those holes preventing it from unplugging. Handy for dragging power tools around the shop.

  • Paperless-ngx re-process failed mail consumption?

    I've been using paperless-ngx to consume mail from outlook/hotmail for a while now, but recently had the mail server refuse connections while mail was being processed. (Not sure why, consuming is working now with no changes and no errors besides 'connection refused', while retrieving that mail. Temporary outage I guess?)

    This left me with a couple pieces of mail not imported. However, now everytime the mail consume task runs, it recognizes that those pieces of mail are there but refuses to process them with the message:

    >Skipping mail '421' '\<email subject>' from '\<sender email>', already processed.

    How can I get it to recognize those mails HAVE NOT been processed?

    Texas sues GM for allegedly violating drivers' privacy

    >Aug 13 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N), has been sued by the state of Texas, which accused the automaker of installing technology on more than 14 million vehicles to collect data about drivers, which it then sold to insurers and other companies without drivers' consent.

    [fixed] App crashing

    I've noticed with the last 2-3 versions of the app (currently 0.0.69, nice); the app crashes 2/3rds of the time when returning to it from being in the background.

    Open the app, switch to another app, switch back a couple min later and it closes then reopens as if you'd just started it for the first time today (losing whatever post you had open).

    Curious if others are experiencing this?

    Over 8 years using (re)vanced and I've finally gotten my first playback issue:

    All roads videos lead here:

    Honestly I'm surprised it took this long. The only other issue I've ever seen (between revanced and the original vanced app) is the watch history not saving a couple weeks back.

    Prevent Radarr managing anything except video files?

    When a file is manually replaced, for example after converting from an mp4 to an mkv; radarr decides to delete everything in that movies folder: posters, backdrops, subtitles, NFO files, leaving only the new video file; even though none of these were created or managed by Radarr ever.

    This causes Emby to have to rescan/reidentify the item, re-downloading all the extra data, and it's now lost all custom metadata that was stored in the nfo, particularly the original date added to emby and it now has no subtitles.

    How can I prevent this?

    What are your favorite tools for monitoring Linux and individual docker containers?

    CPU/GPU/RAM/Disk usage, logs, errors, network usage, overall status, etc

    What do you use/prefer?

    Bitwarden master password and public server auth

    I have what may be a stupid question...

    How is it your master password is both used to decrypt your vault and used to authenticate with bitwardens public servers to acquire a copy of your vault/view it in the web app, but bitwarden can't use that password entry to decrypt the vault themselves?

    (please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, as I use self-hosted vaultwarden for my server instead of the public ones)

    SquareSpace dropping the ball.

    After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:

    > Update Dynamic DNS records Hi there, As previously communicated, Squarespace has purchased all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. Customers are in the process of being moved to Squarespace Domains, but before we migrate your domain [redacted] we wanted to inform you that a feature you use, Dynamic DNS (DDNS), will not be supported by Squarespace.

    So apparently SquareSpace will be entirely useless to me and I've got "as soon as 30 days" to move.

    Got any suggestions for good registrars to migrate to?

    (it's a .pw domain if that matters)

    /edit. I'm a moron.

    I already use cloudflare as my name server, Google/SquareSpace only handles the registration.

    I'll be fine. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Anyone else locked out of Jerboa?

    Got 'invalid login' when viewing my profile after the lemmy update, logged out, re-setup 2fa using a browser and now Jerboa crashes when pressing the 'login' button after entering my details.

    Disabled 2fa and still the same results.

    Consistently crashing in the same spot every time I try.

    Switched to Boost for this post.

    2FA

    Does boost support 2 factor auth?

    I can't login: If i use the incorrect user+pass I get 'incorrect login' if I use the correct ones I get 'login failed'.

    There is no option to enter my required 2fa code...

    /edit switched apps then switched back and the 2fa field showed up but refused my code. Force stopped the app and got the same 'login failed' message switched apps again and back; now it shows all fields and finally logged me in correctly.

    Seems buggy af.

    Google -> SquareSpace?

    I've only ever had my domain registered via Google Domains (~7 years), mostly because it was cheap+convenient, and google already had my billing info. Google has however sold its domain registration services to SquareSpace and will soon be transitioning customers there.

    Not upset to be removing one more bit of google from my life, but I don't know much about SquareSpace and I'm not sure if I should just go with the transition to them or perhaps move to a different registrar... If I was to move, where too?

    Curious what others think about the situation and company.

    Are you a Google domains customer? What's your plan? Why?

    Why is text selection such a broken mess on so many websites? Why does this have to be such a hassle??

    Using Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Samsungs 'Internet' app, and every other browser I've used/tried on Android:

    I'll go to select some text on a page by long-pressing on it and it'll select the word I'm touching as well as expand that selection to a somewhat random amount of additional text (usually not following any structure such as selecting a whole sentence for example).

    I'll then go to adjust that selection by grabbing one of the two tabs on either end of it and the moment I do, the opposite tab jumps to a completely random spot on the page vastly expanding the selection, then the whole page scrolls to an entirely different section; Leaving me holding one end of the selection unable to see what was originally selected. I can't scroll to where I was, and If I let go and just click copy I've now copied 90%of the page to my clipboard.... Attempting to modify the selection any further yields the same lack of control and just makes things worse.

    This doesn't happen everywhere, but I get these results far far more often than a successful copy+paste. Like just now trying to copy an address from a local transit guide.

    I end up having to drop the paste into a notepad app, reselect the bit I actually wanted (if it even made it into the pile of garbage I was forced to grab) then delete the note once I'm done.

    This is fucking stupid and I hate it. Rant over. Thank you for listening.

    /edit: I don't have the power to pin a comment, but d3Xt3r@lemmy.world has a great solution: Use the rectangle select tool in androids 'Edge Panel' (must be enabled in settings), then press the 'T' button to copy text from the area you've selected.

    Has anyone else found firefox absurdly slow on android?

    I'm not talking about an extra 10-15sec, but easily 2-3 full minutes (I've sat here with a timer checking) to load pages, sometimes not loading them at all. Particularly with login pages, but even just homepages.

    Dropbox, Cloudflare, Various companies forums, My bank, Google; each of these sites and more I've had firefox either not load at all, or take so long I've been able to copy the link into Chrome, do what I need there, then come back to Firefox still 'loading' a blank white page.

    I just don't understand. I want to migrate away from Chrome and use Firefox, but it's been unusably slow when it even loads anything at all.

    P.S. In the time I've taken to write this (~5min) plus the time to decide to post and find this community firefox has still not loaded my cloudflare dash... (typed in the address, waited a while, gave up and came here but left it open)

    /edit: I should note I have ublock installed, but I get the same results with it disabled most of the time.

    Block an entire instance

    How do I block an entire instance?

    I'm getting really really sick of blocking dozens of communities from lemmynsfw every single day. It never ends ffs.

    If I want porn, I'll go looking for porn. It shouldn't be every third post in my feed.

    Honestly, how is anyone supposed to join Lemmy if they all just get flodded with mountains of porn??? I can't imagine anyone that's not already invested in being here wanting to join. (unless their looking for a pornhub alt I guess...)

    Not everything NSFW is porn and I'm not looking to remove non-porn so permanently hiding everything tagged NSFW isn't a solution.

    [fixed] Bug: Comments indented in opposite order.

    When viewing individual comment trees, usually by opening a comment from my own history that has replies on it, or just clicking view context: the original comment is the furthest indented, with the replies indented one less, and further replies to those less indented still until the lowest level comment appears as the oc, but at the bottom of the list.

    Here's an example:

    Bug: Hyperlink touch region extends well beyond the green highlighted text.

    An example (text obfuscated as it's irrelevant):

    !

    The entire area of this screenshot except the white text, post time, and space immediately between those two; opens one of the hyperlinks. (ie: all of the empty space to the right of the green links, all the way up to the edge of the screen, as well as the green text itself)

    I wouldn't expect or want empty space to open links, particularly if I'm trying to minimize/collapse a comment with questionable links in it.

    [Fixed] Incorrect post opening.

    When viewing comments and collapsing them; if you leave that view for any reason like creating/editing a comment or taping on a username, when you return to those comments they have all expanded again losing the place you've scrolled to.
