I am to celebrate new years eve alone. How can I celebrate solo?
  • I've spend many holidays alone at this point. Even last Christmas.

    For New Years I usually try to get to the city, and walk around for a couple of hours enjoying the chaos around. You might bump into some random people, which could lead to who knows what?

  • If it seems wild to you to fedrate with Metq, why don't you just defederate yourself then?

    Because you actually have that power. You yourself can decide.

    If .world deferates the entire instance, people like me who wants to federate with them no longer has a choice.

  • Average Lemmy Active Users by Month
  • I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.

    But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.

    It's starting to be clear that the whole "ML - Leninism Marxism" was actually a big part of Lemmy.

    I'm a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don't feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist...

  • 'I’m calling from Israeli intelligence. We have the order to bomb. You have two hours'
  • Yes, I meant unbiased, sorry.

    But look at our scores. We are voices that defies the echo chamber. Therefor we must be silenced.

    It sucks, because I actually genuinely was happy for Lemmy, and had moved all my browsing over here. But alas, it seems that I can no longer use this platform for news. I will go back to having this community blocked.

    PS) Try going to r/worldnews and Reddit, and check what the tone of audience is over there. Much more biased towards Israel, which is a no-brainer in my world.

  • 'I’m calling from Israeli intelligence. We have the order to bomb. You have two hours'
  • Notice how the comment you replied to, despite claiming they "always get hate" has nothing but supportive people upvoting, while you have 3 angry lions going for the neck because you dare to say you support Israel...

    It has come too far to ever work. This community, @world, is no longer a place for biased news. I have had to block for a long time, but just came back to see if it was still such a mess. Turns out it is.

    The worst thing is that the mods here are directly supporting this.

  • Is a personal domain address useful for email?
  • Yes, that is a core aspect of how these "aliasing services" work.

    You are able to simply hit the "reply" button, in which ever email provider the emails are routed to, and whatever you write will be delivered exactly like that to the person who sent you an email. From their perspective everything will look exactly as if they were talking to a regular email address.

    This is a feature of both AnonAddy and SimpleLogin.

    Regarding catch-all, that is basically also how I configured my usage of AnonAddy. Usually you would go and create a new alias, before you want to receive incoming mails on that address. All emails to aliases that are not already created will be dropped. But they also offer a, to me at least, superior version, where aliases are automatically created once the first email arrives on it.

    This way you basically have a catch-all address, but with the benefits of being able to respond as all "identities", as well as toggle off individual ones if you start receiving spam. If you read below, avoiding spam is my ultimate goal with all of this. Your use-case may be different.

    I have written a small add-on for Firefox, which will automatically generate a random forename.surname@domain.com for me, and create that alias in AnonAddy with the current URL as a note. But yesterday I was checking in to a hotel, and the reception asked for an email, so I just typed hotel-name@domain.com, which will clearly indicate to me that it was created for that hotel only. The downside to this is that it's easier to spot that it is indeed an alias address, but I'm also well aware of how spammers just buy active email-addresses in bulk, without caring about where the leaks come from, so I'm not too scared that it will stick out too much. You shouldn't do stuff like facebook@domain.com or github@domain.com though. That's gonna stick out like a sore thumb.

  • What VPN do you use to hide traffic from your ISP?
  • Yes, correct.

    I've done a lot of digging, and the only concern I've found is that the company is somehow connected to PureVPN.

    I'm not paranoid, so for me this is fine. Take your own threat model into consideration.

    Funnily enough, Ivacy knows basically nothing about me, since I bought the offer through a 3rd party site. I have nothing registered on my Ivacy account, aside from my email and password.

  • Auto Reject Calls

    Hey,

    I'm looking for a way to automatically reject all calls to my sim.

    The reason for this, is that I'm running 2 sim cards, where one is explicitly used for 2FA, and other phone verifications online.

    I'm hoping it will be possible to completely disable incoming phonecalls to this sim.

    Thank you in advance!
