Session was a good idea, but not implemented well
All file attachments go to a central server I think in Canada
They copied the signal protocol, and monero, to build their application but they removed perfect forward secrecy. Because it was hard to implement. This means of any session device ever gets compromised, somebody can look at the entire conversation from packets they captured on the wire
I’m much more excited about simplex and briar
Alright, so
User posts to A, a “as:announce” on C is generated. A user replies to the post on C. Will user A see the reply? Will someone looking at the post on A see the activity on C?
How would comments happen? Would they not get back to the original poster?
If I think the content is a net positive for Lemmy you get a upvote, even if I disagree, even if I don’t like you.
So that means even if someone later reveals themselves to be an asshat, they are still adding to Lemmy’s ecosystem and get to keep their upvotes.
Update: but I’m not a saint, if someone is downvoting me I’ll downvote them right back
Cherry pick a few topics you know incredibly well and look at their published articles on those subjects.
Did they cover your area of expertise correctly with nuance and giving the appropriate context?
If yes, now you have more confidence that the articles in other areas are also well written and researched.
If no, now you have less confidence in them
You can apply the above strategy to any news source. For many people the above protocol gives good results with aj.
You should be clear about what your threat model is. What are you willing to accept? What are you willing to trade?
Using a phone only as a Wi-Fi device is probably going to reduce the information surface you exposed to the world.
Ukraine gave up it’s nukes in the 1990s for the promise of non-aggression. That’s a lesson nobody will forget
30 hours is two days, two is more then one and thus multiple. Plus that’s just the expectation, even in that same article a doctor said their longest shift was 72 hours. What we want and reality often diverge. We have to acknowledge reality
I don’t disagree it’s bad, but it’s real. People do it all the time. First responders often have a 24 hour shift, throw in contingencies and it’s two days.
Soldiers on mission often don’t get to sleep and if your the unlucky bastard to pull sentry duty, sucks to be you. Deal with it.
Nobody goes “routinely” multiple days without sleeping

There are plenty of people who routinely go multiple days without sleeping. First responders, military, students. It’s doable. It’s not healthy long-term. But you can do it once or twice.
Stay active, avoid situations where you get bored or become calm. Use tremendous amount of stimulants. Zyn puches work, hot sauce, chew, energy drinks, coffee, lipping coffee grounds. If you have to wait for something, and you can’t stay active, do some exercise, run a little bit, jumping jacks. Anything to keep the blood flowing.
Your attention and reaction time is going to be reduced, don’t drive vehicles, don’t do anything that put you in danger if you fall asleep.
Recognize once you stop moving you’re going to sleep for a very long time. So get to a safe space and then crash
Niche communities. Large spaces are built of small niche interest groups. The tooling around small spaces needs to be first class if we want the larger space to be healthy
socksv5 proxies, or you could dig into the settings and find a option to disable local connections (not sure where)
many browsers allow connection to localhost ports, this is how discord opens discord links in the app and not the browser on people’s desktop computers.
your not wrong, but every browser exposes it via javascript. so if that is part of your threat model you can’t use a local browser.
If any of that information is critical, you should not be running JavaScript. You should remote into a virtual machine and then browse from there.
Even the tor browser bundle gives away machine architecture
Pick it up, dust it off, eat.
Depends what you mean by local information
Your best method:
Use a socksv5 proxy with your browser so it can’t connect to localhost
Use a incognito browser for the login session
Does Lemmy count?
Make friends in meat space. Have activities you do with other people regularly
