It should be a signature that is sent together with the ActivityPub Object. Yes, if the signature doesn't match, the content, whether a post, comment, favorite, upvote, etc... should be dropped.

Here is the source code of the library that lemmy uses to handle incoming objects and you can see that it does a call to verify the signature of the actor:

Messages are sent with a digital signature that only the original instance could craft.

Every fucking time. And here I thought I was the only one.

If you're automatically charged when the free trial ends then you should absolutely be allowed to cancel a free trial so that you're not charged and keep using it until the last day it was offered to you.

Can someone explain what the Intel ME actually does / is? Thank you.

In my experience ADHD meds don't mix well with lack of sleep. So make sure you get enough sleep or eventually you might find yourself feeling like a zombie.

I'm sorry, I need to say it:

Did she check the control singer? If the control doesn't say she's a fascist, but the other one does, then it's not a placebo but her actually being a fascist.

[–] Wander@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

Good point. I think that might be it actually. This could be the reason.

It should be safe as long as you put in a valid timestamp and not some other value. If you run a large instance, then you run the risk of pseudo-DDoSing yourself by sending a large amount of requests to dead servers, but unless you're a large instance you shouldn't have to worry about that.

That seems to be the case more or less. In my case times go from 0:00 to 0:25 or so when it finishes.

Check out the Onyx Boox which might cost a bit more but run a version of Android.

 

I want to allow certain trusted users the ability to take down my lemmy instance or reboot it or x, y, z actions in case things go wrong or there is a security incident.

Ideally I would want to have some sort of admin interface that's secure and tested and allow these users to have some sort of login and from there have the ability to execute certain actions that could correspond to a "break glass in case of emergency" scenario.

I've been pointed at https://www.portainer.io/ but they seem to have a steep price for the limited use-case that I would be giving it.

I know about some admin interfaces like webmin, but I don't know which one allow you to create very restricted users or just give users the ability to execute some limited pre-defined commands.

Thank you <3

 
 

I'm trying to understand how an app would even get that info in the first place, how that's classified and why a mobile operating system even has a way to provide that data.

Am I correct in assuming that if an app is used without play store / play store framework that it would not be able to get access to that data?

Thanks!

 

For example, I'm trying to find out how isolated the work profile on my phone is and whether it shares identifiers with the main profile, but in general I'm thinking of buying a new phone and keep Google et al. as far away as possible, but I need to understand exactly what data these companies have access to.

Yesterday 30 million users signed up for threads, which is already more than active users in the fediverse.

Furthermore, it seems that Meta hasn't launched threads in the EU due to uncertainty regarding the Digital Markets Act. It is entirely possible that their intent to federate with other Activitypub instances is entirely a cheap way to avoid being labeled a gatekeeper and avoid other regulatory requirements or restrictions.

It's future use of ActivityPub to get better publicity or scrape a bit more data might be an added benefit but not it's true purpose.

We'll see if launch in the EU goes hand in hand with them turning on Federation. I suspect that ActivityPub and the Fediverse are merely an afterthought to them and a convenient way to avoid being impacted by certain regulations.

Edit: Found a brief overview of the DMA. Among other things they say:

"The DMA aims to ensure the interoperability of messaging services allowing users on services like WhatsApp to send messages to users on smaller services like Signal"

Hello!

Years ago I found that nomachine was really good to set up remote desktops that felt nearly native.

However, nomachine is proprietary and I was wondering if there were any solutions in 2023 that were more recommended for running a remote desktop on a cloud vm / VPS / proxmox vm.

Unfortunately it seems that Sunshine requires a GPU, otherwise I would be using it together with moonlight.

 

Yikes.

 
 

Ideally about real stories! I'm enjoying Monsters Among Us a lot. That and Spooked.

 

Let's say you find a subreddit with a very interesting guide that contains no private information.

What's the legality of copy / pasting that text over here? And if it is reworded, manually or with chat gpt?

The assumption here is that it would be done manually without scraping.

Edit: it looks like Reddit does not help the copyright and there wouldn't be massive issues if we created a community to copy over posts with useful guides and tutorials. I can't create it since I'm not on lemmy.world and wouldn't have time to moderate it, but I would contribute if a community like that existed.

 

From when it was still cool and niche to be a redditor and you needed to identify each other in public, you could use that sentence.

Lemmy / Kbin is getting to the point where it's cool and niche. Want it or not, you're one of the cool counter-mainstream kids now.

So, what's our secret code phrase?

maybe... (meta reference)
