  • I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

    I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

    Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

    What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?



  • Does it?

    Do you think spammer will just stop at the first address and then call it a day?

    In my experience there is no such thing as a “catch all” domain address. The second your domain leaks then many spammer will just go into a frenzy and try hundreds or thousands of mail aliases.

    Especially since they can’t really spam Gmail as easily (since early 2024) they will even more aggressively spam any other domain.





  • I’m usually pretty relaxed when it comes to disclosure of vulnerabilities but this is the kind of issues where I think it would have been better to privately report the issue to the Lemmy dev and wait ( a long time probably) for it to be fixed before disclosing.

    Especially since currently there is multiple people abusing the image hosting feature.

    Not a big deal, but sometimes it is actually a better practice to give an opportunity to the dev to fix something before forcing them to do so in a hurry.


  • In France at least I doubt it.

    The only time I remember caps on landlines was when 56k modem were still the norm. Once ADSL was rolled out there was pretty much no caps anymore.

    I think the fact that we had some healthy competition for landlines from the get go in my country meant the ISPs couldn’t get that much greedy and put caps in place. So it never ended being common where I live.

    And when it was old school modems, well you were already paying for the phone communications anyway when connected to the internet so it wasn’t really unlimited anyway.


  • Sorry if this is nitpicking but as far as I know, there is no such thing as unlimited mobile data plans.

    In most contracts they will say that you have to use reasonably the data plan and you cannot for example constantly max out your connection. Like 24/7 constant max bandwidth used.

    In most case it doesn’t really matter but I really don’t like the fact that ISPs get to say it’s unlimited when it definitely isn’t.

    It’s unlimited*

    • Some restrictions may apply.

    I think we should expect/aim to just have some “mass repost script” that can take an extract of a community’s content and just “repost” it on a new community.

    Basically, a script that would “replay” a community in one go. I don’t know if you could create “new comments” that immitates perfectly the original commenter but that would be the idea for a quick and very dirty “community mover script”.

    A bit like in GIT when you want to change/remove a specific commit, you can only replay/rebuild everything from the start by creating new everything posts/comments.

    Or maybe that’s a terrible plan ;)

    On a more technical level, it takes quite some ressources for a server to broadcast their communities to all other lemmy instances.

    “Receiving” a remote community is just reading data and inserting it in your instance. But if a community is hosted on your instance, you have to send that data to each and every instances with at least one user subscribed to it.

    So it’s really better for everyone to spread out on as many instances as possible. The only thing I would recommend before setting up a community (or your user account) on an instance is to check if you align with their moderation rules/code of conduct.
