Many (if not most) new cars have their own cellular service built in. They spin this as being able to hotspot to your vehicle if you pay for data or being able to remote lock/start your vehicle with their app. However, the vehicle manufacturer has their own plan allowing them to relay back telemetry data regardless of whether you buy a data package.

Not sure that’s entirely true. Thankfully this attack vector required custom emojis, so it was limited to those specific Lemmy instances. Other attack vectors we may not be so lucky and it could spread through federation.

Lemmy decided to go with SHA256 for TOTP seed. This is a very odd move since many 2FA apps don’t support SHA256. I actually had to write a quick python script to spit out my 2FA code since Bitwarden doesn’t support it. Hopefully either Lemmy will change to SHA-1 or Bitwarden will start to support SHA256 seeds.

I started using SearXNG and actually blocked Reddit from the results. As someone who almost always put “Reddit” in my google searches, I’ve been impressed with the quality of my search results without relying on Reddit.

Boost or US Mobile are the new Mint. Think Boost actually has a chance of hanging around for a while since they are owned by Dish who is building out their own network of towers (think they just hit coverage of 70% of US). They also use both T-Mobile and AT&T for roaming with their rainbow sims, which is extremely rare. US Mobile is a Verizon MVNO… their “unlimited” package has the same priority as post-paid Verizon customers for the first 30gb each month, but I’m afraid they’re eventually going to get bought out by Verizon ala Mint.

I think you mean explicitly open the port on your router, but even then that’s not true. Plex by default will proxy your traffic so that even closed off servers can be reached. It is pretty easy to disable remote access in the server settings though.

I ran arch (btw) for years on my XPS. Just grabbed the new Air 15 and I don’t think I could go back. Considered trying Asahi, but I just don’t see a reason to.

I really wish more apps were straight up switching to Lemmy like this.

Only if they fight to death though.

I believe Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.link, however they haven’t said anything to me privately or publicly. The most recent post from a Lemmy.link community on Beehaw is over 3 days old. Beehaw is very serious about their curation/moderation and local communities, so I was not surprised to see them defederate. Unfortunately I think you’ll need to hop instances if you want to sub to any of Lemmy.link’s communities.

I will be declining my refund. Got way more use out of Apollo than any other app.

This makes me feel old. One of my friends had Sega channel and it was so far ahead of its time. Spent all summer playing the new games. It functioned very similarly to the new Game Pass services with how they rotated games in and out.

Good catch. He’s a marked bot now.

So far the usage is fairly low. The biggest community !news_tech@lemmy.link has 70 subscribers. As the subscriber and comment count grow, so will the mod team.

Every community has their feeds listed in the sidebar. That is actually how the bot is controlled. It looks up communities, scrapes any RSS feeds in the sidebar and then posts any unseen links to the community.

I don’t think this would be the correct avenue to go about that. That functionality would require Lemmy to implement so that upvotes and comments are transmitted over. All this is is automatic posting of RSS feeds to communities.

Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner next to your notifications. Make sure you are searching for “All”. There appears to be some sort of bug where if you search for communities that it won’t return anything. If you search “All” it’ll find the community. Make sure to put in the actual name of the community you’re wanting to find in this format: !community@server.url. You wan’t to put in the actual community name, not the friendly name. In this example I’m searching for Youtube News (yt_news) on Lemmy.link.

I would absolutely love to see it! The biggest hurdle so far has been finding quality RSS feeds.
