More Police Are Using Your Cameras for Video Evidence
  • Someone set off a bomb close to my house. Police asked me questions about it (time, what it sounded like, etc). They noticed I had security cameras and inquired what I had. The dumbfounded look when I said Ubiquiti (they've never heard of it) and that all footage was recorded locally on a hard drive. Like they didn't understand what that meant - obviously they were looking for an answer such as "google" or "amazon" so they could just circumvent me.

  • How did you mess with school computers?
  • "Net send" message to every windows PC in the school. IT was not happy about that. Guess they should've disabled that exploit. I think it was before windows xp had (SP2?) disabled it by default.

  • Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain
  • Proton and fastmail you can use custom domains. I only have experience using fastmail. They provide great instructions for the settings in cloudflare (mx records, etc). My domain is purchased through namecheap.

    I can receive mail on *@mydomain.com and I can send email from any thing I want ad-hoc (anything@mydomain.com or anything@anything.mydomain.com)

    I thought about selfhosting as well, but the internet concensus was it can be a hassle with your email getting rejected.

    Stuff barely ever loads now. API change active already? Other reason?

    Opensignups community

    Anything along the lines of /r/opensignups exist? Search is painful on lemmy for me, not seeing anything indicating a suitable lemmy equivalent.

    How many plan to stay on lemmy post blackout?
  • Lemmy needs a useable search - either integrated or indexed via search engines. Major use of reddit for me is treating it as a giant forum, seeking answers to questions.

    Doom scrolling comes second. I need a way to swipe away posts I have no interest in to hide them forever.

    I will probably never be entirely done with reddit unless the knowledgebase portion dries up.

  • for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
  • Is the dev on lemmy? Have a link to a post of his about this consideration? I would love a Sync for Lemmy - mostly to cut down on the learning curve of a different dev's app.
