But, if you're looking for information like when/if it will be back up and what data may have been stolen, forget about it. There is more focus on the drama around the incident than what is most important, at least at this time.

Yep, it's enabled now on https://feddit.online/

As a believer in the Fediverse, thank you to all those involved in lemm.ee. You are the pioneers that helped grow this wonderful alternative to corporate-owned media, especially Reddit, and proved it's viable and better. Thanks for all you've done! I wish you the best.

There is no valid reason to dislike trans people. There is no valid reason to care if someone is trans. There is no valid reason to treat trans people differently.

You can substitute any color, religion, and culture for the word trans too.

Some points:

  1. Many companies still send email without DMARC policies in their DNS. You'd be throwing away emails you ought to read.
  2. Why just no DMARC? Why aren't you also wanting to toss DMARC policies of p=none? What's the difference between, "I don't care, so I didn't set up a DMARC policy" and "I set up a DMARC policy so people stop complaining, but I turned it off because I don't care?" The result, for you, is identical. Spoofed emails will get delivered.
  3. A policy of p=quarantine is almost as bad. So spoofed email ends up in the spam folder along with a bunch of email that isn't a problem. We've been trained to not trust spam folders.
  4. If it isn't a policy of "reject" the email just can't be trusted is the bottom line.
  5. A lot of spam comes in from domains with a DMARC policy, even with a reject policy because the email passes the SPF check because it came from either their own email server or a compromised one or passes DKIM checks.

Your idea of tossing email without DMARC will not give you the results you hope for. You'll miss important emails, and you'll still get a steady flow of spam.

BTW, an extremely well-known cybersecurity expert's newsletter (Brian Krebs) goes out from a domain that is missing a DMARC policy! This just shows how not used it is.

I have checks in my email client and I put red tags on emails that aren't p=reject or that fail SPF or DKIM checks, so I'm extra careful. This is better than just tossing email with no DMARC policy.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but maybe you should think about whether you really want to do this.

So, while he accelerates toward it until near the speed of light in his original frame of reference, he will detect the oncoming photon as gamma radiation, but in my frame of reference where I'm not accelerating and just idling, and looking at the same photon, I'll still see the photon as not gamma radiation at all?

This is the only time when the media should quote morons, not before elections.

It's amazing that a company can get public officials to sign an agreement making it illegal for them to give any information to their electorate about a project that would have a huge impact on them in every possible way. No elected official should ever sign such an agreement. Why would they? But, they did. Corruption is the only reason I can think of.

And why is there no law against elected officials agreeing to become agents of a corporation against the interest of the electorate? Same answer, probably.

But all these people were elected by the ones they are hurting. And the electorate most likely elected their leaders based on some emotional non-existent issues instead of picking leaders based on commitment, honesty, competency, and a desire to help people. From what I see from the rest of the country, and we are talking about Alabama here, they may have gotten the government and outcome that they deserve and are actually responsible for their own problem. I think American voters are bringing all of this personal damage upon themselves.

I'm a disillusioned American, by the way.

Yes, that happened once and I quickly removed the account. Because I leave the site open, I need to be prepared to put in the extra time to moderate it.

I've been running a Peertube instance for, I think, at least 2 years now? My registrations are open. I have some large initial limitations on upload sizes too and will adjust them up even higher as I see that videos being posted aren't violating the rules.

Why do I keep registration open in mine?

I suppose it comes down to why the site was created. My reason was simply to provide an alternative to YouTube, on principal, and as an advocate against corporate control and ownership over people and their videos. Given this, at least for my site, "I just wanna upload stuff" IS a valid reason to open an account on my site.

This is awesome! The hits just keep on coming!

 

Since turning on this instance, email going out under the feddit.online domain has been a nightmare experience.

  • iCloud won't accept the email what-so-ever. Just refuses to talk to the email server.
  • Gmail gives it a 0 spam score (perfectly ok)
  • ProtonMail says it's OK
  • Runbox.com sends it to the spam folder
  • Hover.com says it is mildly spam likely
  • An email provider in NZ gave it a super high spam score

This means that every email provider pulls the rules out of their butts, clearly not using any data, or else there would be a much closer consensus.

A common claim from those that called it spam, or likely spam, is that the .online TLD is likely spam. This is crazy. Most of my spam comes from .com domains, which they say are fine.

iCloud was the dealbreaker.

Going forward, all email will come from feddit-online-email.com. I don't know how icloud will handle it, but since it is being accepted more by the other email providers I've tried, I'm hopeful. I'm still using my own email server, hoping this isn't a problem for iCloud.

If you have an icloud email address , can you try opening a private browser window and running this URL and telling me if you get the email? https://feddit.online/test_email?email [enter your email address here>]

Thanks!

 

Testing post from new feddit.online PieFed instance after applying WAF fix recommended by Rimu. I hope this works!

 

I've brought up a new KBIN instance, https://feddit.online

It's administrated from the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area. Everyone is welcome to sign up, so long as they follow the rules

I now, because I must be crazy, have 4 Fediverse servers running.

KBIN: https://feddit.online
Mastodon: https://hear-me.social
Calckey: https://bostonsocial.online
Peertube: https://my-sunshine.video

#KBIN #Fediverse

 

I started a new KBIN instance. It has one magazine, random, because I created it. Anyone coming here will find no interesting magazines. It will be boring.

How do I find interesting magazines on other instances? Say, I want to find a magazine about Linux, somewhere on another KBIN or Lemmy server and add it here. If I search in the magazine search, no magazines show up. If I search using the topmost global search, no magazines show up.

How does a new instance get the list of magazines that are available from the other KBIN and Lemmy instances without visiting each one and creating a list to use for a full name search?

Or is my instance just broken?
