  • Jerry's post says he blocked 2 others. Other than lemmy.ml, what were the other 2?

  • I'm glad you asked. This has been irritating me for a long time.

  • This tells me that you'd be in a lot of trouble if you lost your phone or had to wipe it because someone got into it. It's probably good then that you're now thinking about this so you can prepare for a time when you won't have your phone for other reasons.

    All sites supporting 2FA usually allow you to use a second method. Email is usually an alternative. Assuming that your email is your universal second OTP method, you just need to make sure you will always have access to your email account and you'll be fine. So just solve for the OTP problem for your email account.

    Pre-buy your burner phone and make it a second OTP device for your email account. For more assurance, buy a couple of physical keys (like Yubikey) that can be used with your email account. These can also be set up for some of your other accounts that support it, which may be more convenient than email when accessing them.

  • This better be an April Fools joke

  • I tried translating something before posting it to the same language (Thai) and apparently nobody understood what I was talking about. But enough people understood English, so at least some people would have understood me if I just posted it in English. The others could try translating.

    Responding in English, if this is your language, is not Anglo domination. A lot of people learn English as a second language, so many know it. If you translate to Japanese and post it, then when people translate it to English, or Spanish, whatever, it will make no sense whatsoever.

    When I traveled to France, a Middle Eastern family came into the restaurant and asked for the English menu. They couldn't read the French menu. But they knew enough English. That's when I realized that restaurants in France offered English menus, not for Westerners, but because more people in the world were likely to understand it rather than French.

    I post in English. Translating from English to Spanish is better than English to Japanese to Spanish.

  • I see no legitimate reason for not using a User Agent string, like all the other crawlers use, other than the desire to hide the crawler and make it difficult to block.

    I don't accept his explanation. I see it as gaslighting.

  • Yes, it's worth it. I own mine for just the reason you give. You can take it to any other provider. And there's no danger of the email provider deciding to close your account or cutting you off unexpectedly. Imagine losing your email access. At least with your own domain, you can switch it that same day to someone else.

    Unsure about whois lookup privacy. My registrar hides my details as an option. Anyone looking up the domain just sees them as the contact for the domain.

  • You can go to https://hear-me.social/ and click on the register button. This puts up a Cloudflare managed challenge screen which endlessly loops when using Pale Moon. It would be interesting to see if Waterfox has the same issue.

  • I just duplicated this. I downloaded Pale Moon and went to https://hear-me.social/ and clicked on "Register". It puts up a Cloudflare "managed challenge" which loops endlessly when using Pale Moon, but not the other browsers I've tried it with, including Zen, another Firefox fork.

    It's a problem, for sure.

  • I'm so glad you pointed this out. I did not have this enabled on mine and I forgot about this option completely. I just enabled it.

  • I have a Peertube server, and I've requested to follow tilvids, and they denied my request, and they also do not follow my Peertube server. I think one issue with tilvids may be that they essentially choose not to federate, and therefore you won't find much because of this.

    I just searched for "Gaming" on my Peertube server and I seem to get a non-ending list of servers. Unfortunately, one column wide, but a lot. When I search for King's Quest, I am also getting a seemingly unending stream of videos.

    I follow every Peertube server I can that is clearly not fascist, primarily NSFW, NSFL, etc.

    Maybe you just need to find a server that is more federated with other Peertube servers.

  • I de-federated from it on 3 of my servers for all the reasons stated here.

  • Yep. A "private" message where the recipient is listed in the message is a DM in Mastodon. It will only be delivered to the mentioned person.

  • I'm American. I just bought 12 eggs for $5. What's this going on about?

  • I use Firefox. I don't have this issue. FWIW.

  • I'm not trying to sell it. It is what it is. I'm just providing information about Friendica for those interested. I know I was always curious about it.

  • Nope. Locked inside a VPC with only one VPS allowed to communicate with it.
