Miller can go fuck himself with a cactus for deliberately confusing Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.

Lemmy should do something like make captcha and email verification the default in the next version, and reject federation from anyone with a lower version. If we accept federation from any instance where this was never turned on, banning accounts one by one is worse than Sisyphean. They'll just keep finding more vulnerable instances that are already trusted and abuse them to spam the rest of the fediverse.

If admins want to manually turn it off, then they should be prepared to manage that.

USB-C seems like it's going to be around for a while.

Closer than what? In the past? Yes, of course. We'll always be closer, unless there is some cataclysmic event that causes us to lose knowledge and regress.

Yes, right up until someone plugs in the wrong cable, sends an email to the wrong person, or plugs the wrong hard drive into a system. Then your phone rings and you have to talk to people you never want to talk to.

E-5 is a pay grade. PO2 is a rate.

Colloquially, you could call PO2 a rank, but strictly speaking it's a rate, because the Navy has a lot of jargon for historical reasons.

Rachel Corrie was the "right kind of American" and she still got no justice.

Does the error have any text that might be helpful?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Easier? Yes, definitely. Maybe work on the Vaultwarden stuff in parts, instead of all in one go.

Also, if you're using Proxmox, you might just back up your whole VM to PBS. That's how I do it. But that takes a bit of work to set up on its own.

You don't need those things for it to be technically usable. If anything, in the intervening 47 years, those would become more available, not less.

Yes. If it became connected to any ship network, that network is now on the Internet and not protected by the regular firewall.

You're expecting intelligence and competence from these people? The ones who thought it would be a good idea to violate a half dozen regulations to even install it in the first place?

If you tap that link in Boost it'll probably crash, so don't do it unless you're okay with that.

I'm guessing the problem is that the post URL is a magnet link.

Edit: oh yeah, to work around, you'll have to open it in a browser and hide it.

 

I got banned earlier today with the message "rule 1", no other information about why, or which comment broke the rule. As far as I can tell it was this one, which just says "We want the bot gone. That’s it. It’s really that simple."

So I checked the modlog for other bans, and @aniki@lemmings.world was banned today as well, also just for "rule 1", probably either for the comment saying "a stupid bot writing useless bullshit" or "This is what you call "Not listening to criticism."", neither of which are an attack on any person.

(Also earlier today @MindTraveller@lemmy.ca was banned with the message "fuck off", which I'm pretty sure is not a reason to ban someone from a major community, but doesn't appear to be related to the MBFC bot.)

One more today, @stormesp@lemm.ee was banned, again just "rule 1", last comment being this one, again not an attack on any person.

So what's the deal here? I couldn't find any rules for mods on lemmy.world with a brief poke around, but are we letting mods run major communities like little fiefdoms, banning people for criticism?
