I switched the account in the app, so it should use it and fetch content from LW.
shrugal 3 months ago • 100%
That was my first thought as well! But I also tried LW which is still on 0.19.3, same problem.
Edit: My bad! I had "show read posts" enabled on my LW account, and read posts are correctly hidden when I disable it. So it really seems to be a problem with the new version.
I have "Show read posts" disabled in the settings, but it just stopped working all of a sudden. Since yesterday I'm seeing read posts again. I tried toggling the setting, clearing cache and switching instances, but no luck so far. Anybody else who has this problem? Any idea how to fix it? Edit: Looks like it's a problem with the new Lemmy version!

Welcome to the Linux community. :)
You will probably never understand everything about Linux and all of its included and associated systems. That's completely fine, no one does! That's why we are many, and it's what asking for advice or help is for. You can just learn whatever interests you at your own pace, and know that there will always be interesting things you haven't seen yet.
In this election there won't be any % barrier in some countries, but I still haven't seen any poll numbers for small parties here in Germany for example. Everything below 2-3% gets lumped in with "Others" as usual, even though about 0.5% would already get them a seat in parliament this time. This makes voting strategically very difficult, because we have no idea whether any small party could even get in. I get that there are limits to what you can show in a graphic, but even the source links I checked didn't provide more details. Why is that, and has anyone seen poll numbers for small parties, particularly for Germany?

I really like the idea of creating a decentralized network that has a fair monetization model built right in, instead of relying on donations like the Fediverse. Crypto got a very bad rep, but this kind of stuff is exactly what it's good for imo.
It also has some core features that are missing from other similar messengers, like multi-device sync. And lastly, the devs seem pretty capable and open as well. They are very transparent with their work and seem to have the right ideas about where things should go and which trade-offs to make. E.g. their reasoning for not using the Signal protocol seems solid to me.
So I'm hopeful, but time will tell if it all works out.

The thing is, Reddit also has money and lawyers. LW doesn't, so it's understandable that they play it safe imo.

I'm transcoding everything to 320kbps MP3s. It's much much smaller than flac, and I can't hear the difference even if I try.

Trying to finish the Horizon Forbidden West story, but it's a bit meh. Really sad about that! The HZD stories were great, and the world is as beautiful as ever, but I stopped caring at some point with the newest one. Other than that, I just bought the Age of Wonders 4 season pass and am trying out the new races and traits.

Fedora, I usually wait 1-2 weeks for the last bugs to be found+fixed and extensions to catch up, and then just upgrade in-place. Haven't had a major upgrade problem for years now, it's mostly as smooth as any other offline update. And I don't feel like I have to reinstall the OS every few years on Linux either.

united, indivisible republic
So no federalism anymore, just one centralized state power.
All baronial and other feudal estates, all mines, pits etc. shall be converted into state property
The mortgages on peasant farms shall be declared state property
All private banks will be replaced by a state bank
All means of transport: railways, canals, steamships, roads, posts etc. shall be taken in hand by the state
So the state owns and manages all land, all finances, all infrastructure, and all means of mass transportation, on top of all the things the state controls already.
Idk what you think centralization of power looks like, but imo this is it.
shrugal 4 months ago • 100%
Because that's what creating an all-powerful government leads to. Imo the key is splitting up and balancing the power, not concentrating it in one easily corruptable entity.

Afaik it's pretty common to call twinks "halfs", conjoined or not. I'm a twin, and I've been asked about "my other half" my whole life. Same thing with couples, or any two people who are perceived as belonging together for some reason.

Hier geht es aber in aggregierte Geschäftsdaten.
Gilt für beides. Es gibt ja schon Integrationen, bei denen man einfach GB von Daten jeglicher Art hochlädt, damit die KI darauf Zugriff hat und maßgeschneiderte Antworten geben kann. Und je mehr die KI versteht, desto mehr ist man gewillt hochzuladen, weil es ja nützlich sein könnte.
shrugal 4 months ago • 100%
Ja so verstehe ich das auch, es ist nur etwas ungünstig formuliert. Es geht darum aus den Daten alle nützlichen Informationen zu extrahieren, nicht "alle Daten" zu sammeln. Wobei sie mit den sehr persönlichen KI Assistenten natürlich trotzdem auf dem Weg dahin sind.

I'd say nobody. Not putting innocent people in jail is more important than punishing criminals imo. But idk what to do with the guilty half instead.
Hey everyone, My personal server of choice is a DiskStation right now, and I'm using the default reverse proxy for all my subdomains. I went through a few stages to secure them, and now that I'm finally finished (famous last words heh?!) I thought I'd document my approach and provide some configs and code. I've seen a few unanswered questions here and there about how to do this on Synology, so hopefully this helps a few people. The guide covers limiting access to local IPs, as well as adding Basic or SSO authentication. The main goal is to integrate well with the GUI and access control profiles, and to leave all existing and autogenerated files untouched, so updates and changes via the GUI still work as expected. Here is the basic idea: > The nginx server config is located in `/etc/nginx/`, and the reverse proxies are defined in the `sites-available/server.ReverseProxy.conf` file inside that folder. There's one `server` directive for every proxied site, and the DSM config adds a `include .acl.<random string>.conf*` directive if you set up an access control profile for a site. That `*` at the end there is crucial, because it means we can manually add more configuration files with the same prefix, and they will automatically be included and applied to all sites using this access control profile. > > There are also `include` directives for the `main` and `http` scopes, as well as for the default DSM `server` directives. This means we can inject configurations in these places, just by adding correctly named files to the `conf.d` folder. > > For Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication we run a [Vouch-Proxy](https://github.com/vouch/vouch-proxy) instance to handle the communication between nginx and the OIDC server. We also need to spin up another nginx reverse proxy and forward requests to it, because the built-in one doesn't support the required `auth_request` directive. Its container script just copies the default reverse proxy configuration with some modifications, and it is set up to reload whenenver the original file changes.

No, it really doesn't. That's like creating a bot that buys and sells company shares automatically, and saying the stock exchange has a vulnerability because your bot makes bad decisions.
shrugal 4 months ago • 100%
I just set up a Vouch-Proxy for this yesterday. It uses the nginx auth_request directive to authenticate users with an SSO server, and then stores the token in a domain-wide cookie, so you're logged in across all subdomains. Works pretty well so far, you don't even notice it when you're logged in to your SSO provider.
But you do have to tell the proxy where you want to redirect a request somehow, either by subdomain (illegal.yourdomain.com) or port (yourdomain.com:8787) or path (yourdomain.com/illegal). I'm not sure if it works with raw IPs as hosts, but you can add additional restrictions like only allowing local client IPs.
In my special case I'm using the local Synology SSO server, and I have to spin up an additional nginx server because the built-in one doesn't support auth_request.

Can't talk for the free tier, but my Usenet account comes bundled with a paid Privado account, and that's working ok so far. The connections have been reliable, fast, and low latency.
My main issue has been that it doesn't support port forwarding. Also, some GeoIP services locate many of their servers in the Netherlands, instead of where Privado says they are. Idk who's right, but it's definitely a problem if you want to pick a specific location.

What's absurd is this crypto maximalist take.
You can't just make up your own permission and punishment system, and then expect the legal system to just step aside and let it handle all disputes, especially when it comes to fraud. That's like founding your own city in an existing country, and declaring all existing law obsolete. I know some people think this is a real possibility, but the real world doesn't work like that.
shrugal 4 months ago • 100%
IANAL and all, but bad/unfavorable contracts and literal deception/fraud are two different things, at least in the legal system. Not everything that's technically possible is also allowed, obviously.
Compare it to using a security flaw to hack into a system. Technically you're only using the official API, maybe in unusual ways, but still. But you're doing it in bad faith and causing harm, maybe pretending to be someone you're not or injecting fake data into the system, and that can make a difference.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the exploit.
The Pepaire-Bueno brothers exploited a bug in MEV-boost's code that allowed them to preview the content of blocks before they were officially delivered to validators, according to the indictment.
The brothers created 16 Ethereum validators and targeted three specific traders who operated MEV bots, the indictment said. They used bait transactions to figure out how those bots traded, lured the bots to one of their validators which was validating a new block and basically tricked these bots into proposing certain transactions. [...]
So hardly an attack on any core system of cryptocurrencies.

Why stop half way? All you need is a benevolent dictator, shouldn't be too hard to find, right?
Some of these points are good, some are just absurd. Letting "the state" handle everything and hold all the cards, and then actually believing that it won't be coerced and corrupted or that there won't be strong disagreements about how to handle things is just delusional and wishful thinking on a grand scale imo.
I agree that most modern countries need to strenghen the public sector, but you still need checks and balances between powers, individual responsibilities and freedoms, real-world economic feedback and incentives, and so on.

Hey everyone, I created an addon to bring touchscreen navigation gestures to the desktop version of Firefox, so mainly for 2-in-1 laptops and Linux/Windows tablets. It adds back/forward navigation and pull-to-refresh gestures, shows the same icons as existing touchpad gestures, and will check beforehand if you can still scroll in a given direction. Here is the link: [Touch Navigation](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/touch-navigation/)
