  • Exactly! I add a random string to each email address, too, so you can’t just guess other addresses. So, it’s usually something similar to lemmy-r4nd0m@mydomain.me. And, whenever a breach happens, I’ll generate a new random part and set that as my email address and invalidate the old one. Until the next breach. (Looking at you, LinkedIn…)

  • Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum?

    Jump

  • Be aware that some countries make you liable for what people post on your forum.

    Also, have you looked at Discourse? There are some nice apps that work with it and make the experience on mobile slightly better.

  • My email provider allows for unlimited aliases. So, while I have 600+ email addresses, emails to them all end up in the same mailbox.

    The accounts for all the websites and services (with their specific email address) are in a KeePass database and they all have random passwords, too.

    The only small issue is when you have to contact support of some service. Then, I have to configure the specific email address in my client so they can match that to my account with them. But most email clients allow multiple sender addresses without having to fiddle with the rest of the settings.

  • GenAI website goes dark after explicit fakes exposed

    Jump

  • I don’t remember whether it was some news article or a discussion thread. But other people also suggested this might help during therapy and/or rehab. And they had the same argument in that nobody gets harmed in creating these.

    As for uses outside of controlled therapy, I’d be afraid it might make people want the “real thing” at some point. And, as others already pointed out: Good luck proving to your local police that those photos on your laptop are all “fake”.

  • This vulnerability made it possible to collect user data simply by knowing someone’s email address or phone number.

    Another example of where it pays off to have separate email addresses/aliases for every website/service you use.

  • Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.

  • If I interpret this toot correctly, there wasn’t a direct commit from a sanctioned region, but one developer was in one of those regions for a short while quite some time ago. And he may have been flagged because of this.

  • Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line

  • That’s why I self-host SearXNG. And have enabled several other “underdog” search engines like Mojeek and Marginalia. On my devices I’m using Redirect Web for Safari to send any search request to Ecosia (configured in my Safaris) to my SearXNG instance. Works great for me!

  • If you’ve just enabled Apple Intelligence, it’ll also go through all your Photos and detect objects, faces, pets, POIs, settings, etc.. Depending on the amount of photos, this can take a few days to complete. (Should only happen while the phone is connected to a charger, though.) During that time, some sluggishness is to be expected. However, after a few days, the phone should be snappy again.

    At least I can’t notice any such issues on my 16 Pro. And I’m using AI since it became available in the Betas here in the UK.

  • A European Starlink rival’s shares skyrocketed 390% in a week — here’s why

    Jump

  • “European Starlink rival” is a bit far fetched when there’s merely rumours that they might be able to offer a similar service. But that’s the stock market for you.

  • What host names do you use?

    Jump

  • I might rename them. So, e.g. if I’d add another Pi5, the existing one would become rpi5-1 and the new one rpi5-2.

  • Wait until I tell you about all the small issues this zoo of devices brings with it… haha.

  • Unless you’re using outdated server software, there’s nothing inherently insecure with exposing ports to the Internet. Be it port 80 or 443. Just keep everything up to date and maybe add fail2ban to stop people poking around.
