Do the "Ernest needs to add more maintainers to KBin!" comments remind anyone else of the xz social engineering malarkey?
  • xz was successful because it was believable, but a malicious actor would more likely target libraries that are depended on by many, like xz.

  • RE: Is Ernest still here?
  • I appeciate all you do, but please start delegating for your own sake.
    Find people to handle the spam and moderation, that gives you more time to focus on dev and infra.
    And on dev too, there is lots to delegate.

    Tldr, apply physical timer instead. It saves me time.

    A case for preemptively defederating with Threads
  • They inflated numbers by using insta accounts, but few actally use it.

  • A case for preemptively defederating with Threads
  • Threads is the smaller player here compared to twitter/bluesky. and bluesky is a direct compeditor for activitypub with their own federation protocol.

    So now Threads has to play nice to have any chance at all. A part of the fediverse pie is better than no pie at all.
    I hope Tumblr joins too.

  • Threads Has Begun Federating Via ActivityPub
  • I can follow him on kbin.

    Interoperability was the purpose of activitypub. I'm not oppossed to Meta , Tumblr and wordpress joining the fediverse.
    As long as I can use an open source community platform.

  • New OneDnD playtest pack - Playtest 9 (8?) - Barbarian, Druid, Monk, spells
  • Besides the moon druid, all other druid-subclasses hardly change.
    The new conjure spells do have a large impact.

    Instead of animals they are variations of spirit guardians,
    A few are unbalanced, but i do get the general idea. It does help the druid to be a battlefield-controller.
    What I don't like is that they do damage on hostile turns, It forces a druid to interrupt the DM on hostile turns.
    (Like the existing moonbeam and spirit guardians )

    I would prefer:

    AOE damage right after caster-turn, and if a a hostile enters and leaves the AOE within their turn.

  • Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy?
  • I actuallly don't mind lemmygrad that much, unless provoked they don't invade threads on other instances on mass. I do dislike hexbear for thay, they tend to swarm.

  • Killing blow for Tesla: The cars do not get new license plates
  • In some countries the car gets a plate on import, the number never changes.

  • Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy?
  • Visit a few Ukraine threads, it's one of the topics the fanatics pile on.
    My point was that tankies are a "special" subset of communists.

  • Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy?
  • They like Stalin, Putin , Xi and Kim. And defend everything they do.

    Like WTF? How can a communist defend putin!?

  • Every dang day
  • Ok you got me, I don't see tankies as mainstream left wing, they're fare gone but wouldn't label them alt-right

  • y'all is such a great and incusive word, I love it.

    And that word is coming from an area known for bigotry.

    403 Forbidden when I try to message someone outside of kbin.social

    The "send message" button only works for kbin users. On any user outside of kbin I get a 403. btw, is there a specific magazine for kbin-software issues?

    What's the best dual boot theft recovery? (edit: was: honeypot)

    The idea is that is that I have a dual boot linux/windows. Where linux is secure and encrypted, and windows is the honeypot.

    windows is the default boot option.

    edit 2: I titled this wrong and I worded it wrong, i'll try again later. Next time : Murphy's law allways wins, assume my laptop will get stolen. And i want to recover it remotely.

    I'm not changing my behaviour, I already lowered the likelyhood of theft by switching my macbook for a secondhand thinkbook.

    PSA: Many Lemmy instances are currently experiencing massive automated sign-ups (bots)
    lemm.ee PSA: Many Lemmy instances are currently experiencing massive automated sign-ups (bots)! If you run an instance with open sign-ups, please read! - lemm.ee

    Today, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list]. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups. For now, it seems that the bots are especially targeting instances that have: * Open sign-ups * No captcha * No...

    I could not figure out how to do a modmail, but please take care.

    Warlocks, how did you flavor your imp?

    I initially wanted a parrot for my spelljammer character, but in the end I chose a colored raven.

    Since the imp can polymorph into a raven, rat or spider there are so many options. What did you do?
