health insurance companies are some of the most evil things on the planet, and its a fucking stiff competition.

if they were visible from lemmy.sdf.org before that means they made it into the local database over there so they should only disappear if deleted

if you can give a specific example I can look at it and bug the admins with my findings but I'm guessing its just relatively low-activity comms that haven't had any of their backlog synced over (lemmy only syncs like 20 posts per comm by default, and all new posts after that point should also sync)

federation is weird. lemmy doesn't sync all posts when you federate, it only fetches communities when someone specifically searches for them and even then it only grabs the last 20 posts when it does that. i think there are bots to automate syncing comms/maybe post backlogs too, some maybe even usable as an end user

as in historical posts?

mostly recovery codes. I have multiple yubikeys but that's mostly for work

yeah, when sites support it, that's definitely the best option, but many sites only barely do totp lol so I have to have to put the totp codes somewhere, and the yubikey handles it in a pretty nifty way

Seems like a real mixed bag, leaning towards a negative because it requires a civil lawsuit. On one hand sure, good, you can sue harassers at the source. On the other hand how many nasty things like neo-nazi group membership are brought to light through doxxing and will also become illegal. and since it requires you bring suit, this will protect the people with more money/resources more often than not.

as far as I know upstream lemmy doesn't want it and is waiting on pictrs proxying support. If I'm wrong though our code is public, I'm sure a dev would be happy to put together a PR,

Hexbear.net stays winning, external embeds are domain whitelist-only until pictrs adds proxying support, and blurred by default.

Good PSA tho, I'd honestly encourage other instances to do the same but it requires dev effort that I know not everyone has, and upstream isn't quite as paranoid about this stuff.

For reference:

That literally only happened because the USSR and China would not and could not vote on it (respectively) because the UN was insisting that the KMT who only controlled taiwan were the legitimate representatives of china, and the USSR was boycotting the UN votes on principle.

The point isn't "UN is infallible" the point is "Even anti-communist countries in the UN agreed that PRC is the legitimate government of all of China."

gravity bong. commonly made out of plastic bottles like a 2L of soda.

Could be very very good shit. Shame I'm not using android anymore

you smoking out of a geeb or something?

even if it doesn't affect the brain, it will affect your lungs, and I wouldn't bet on it not affecting the brain too

blame lemmy's terrible Active algo. It's a struggle session factory

Not on iOS but I like my yubikeys. Depending on your requirements (if you have less than 32 TOTP accounts per yubikey), they can handle your TOTP directly instead of just using them to unlock Bitwarden.

For security I don't like to keep my TOTP keys in my password manager, even if it is strongly protected. With a yubikey I can ensure that both access to the key AND a physical touch is necessary to generate any codes. So even if I leave it plugged in on a remotely compromised PC I'm mostly protected, because a touch is required.

anything that's doing filtering like that makes me suspicious that it will rando domains it doesn't like, but slowness probably is unrelated? you could do some testing to find out, or just chalk it up to your ISP having real bad peering with wherever your instance is hosted or something

could be that your ISP's DNS is dogshit slow?
