  • Yeah like you I was an avid reporter to r/BotBust which when its owner went off the rails one of the team members then setup BotDefense, and I got recruited to resolve the reports from peeps like yourself and our little counterpart bot that flagged them at a fair old rate.

    I ain't seen nothing like BD over here on Lemmy and some of the bot accounts here are at least listed as such but I have seen numerous ones that aren't "self labelled". It'd take a fair amount of effort but if you've got enough people to review reports (especially the ones from humans) I can't see why not as it's basically looking for common markers / traits / flags.

  • Indeed and it's exactly what we did in r/BotDefense before greedy piggy spez shut down the API/communities some built.

    I used to watch in amazement at some of the guys who set up bots, to report the bots to us.

  • So say we have an open WiFi guest network at work that's got the general nanny filter on for "bad things in the UK workplace".

    But say I brought and plugged in an old phone and started an i2p instance even thou it's going to be heavily firewalled, you reckon it would still help out?

    Also, no need to mutter about i2p and I think with this current climate it's a sensible thing to start help out with

  • Yeah like someone said in the YT comments it's got more layers than an onion, and kinda reminds me of the end mix of Mikey B's 2001 cd

    Really dreamy but banging.

  • The project supports more than 135 highly skilled jobs across the UK

    Is that 135 individual positions, or just some mumbo jumbo job titles they're making up?

    The UK police can't determine what is a legal 249gm drone or not as seen many times over with the auditors, so how on earth is this thing gonna work is beyond me?

    Just trash the airwaves I guess.

  • The law also makes it mandatory to use a third-party age assurance provider “that is legally and technically independent of any online platform hosting or providing porn content.”

    Meanwhile, over on Googles I can find images of blowjobs and corner shop magazines available for viewing. Strange how they want to invade everyone's privacy in the name of some "online porn".

  • This kid-friendly something where rules are more strictly enforced and moderation could end up with the kid's school being told about the kid saying the N word or whatever

    I remember entering an incorrect domain/regex to an Automod config once. Thankfully because I checked the logs often it only happened for a short while, and people didn't get too mad.

    But then you have really incompetent operators like those censors over in Italy and Spain with PiracyShield™ etc

    I mean - 30mins for them to block Google Drive nationwide is something I think no-one wants, without some level of accountability, but when you've got dickheads like me that can regex out Nigella Lawson Pr0n accidentally, is scary.

  • My backup phone / last daily driver had one, and I did use a SD card in it simply for another place to backup my DCIM folder as part of my 3.2.1 backup, but I did always wonder why I bothered because if I did lose the phone the SD card goes with it, making it pretty moot.

    Still, I am of the notion that there's never enough backups.

  • Because I generally travel within the UK, it's rare for me not to have an internet connection so to be honest I've not really cared for a SD card for a fair while now. I understand in places like the US / Aussieland they're a godsend to some but I'm fairly ambivalent on the subject now.

    And having a ridiculous amount of storage on tap from a couple of NAS's accessible via Tailscale, and my last three phones having between 256GB-512GB internal storage SD cards are pretty much relegated to other devices like my drone/GoPro etc. edit: I suppose another thing that fills the void for me if I do need extra storage on my phone is I can just plug one of these into the USB port from my keyring, and I've then got unlimited replaceable storage?

    Don't get me wrong, I think it's stupid doing away with it and other things like IR blasters / headphone jacks and, more irritating to me? Notification LED's. My Nexus One had one, my Mi A1 and Cubot had one but I can never understand why they ain't a standard thing across the board.

  • I bought two AXT1800's for down at a family members house (main router + other on a Powerline in AP mode) and they have no complaints.

    While I can't speak for having to reboot them often since a few months ago I told them to schedule a reboot through the night, weekly, and I find them one of the cleanest router interfaces especially on mobile.

    The timezone is different to your browser is my main qualm with them which I can't seem to solve :/

  • That would be neat.

    Like someone else said in here maybe the OP could use a really long cable to a USB drive away from the main server, but I do like the idea of something using hybrid wire(less) to auth.

    They could even have a UPS underneath a Pi Zero and, have a PoE HAT too + travel router. Plug in LTE USB with backup SIM card, epoxy all that together and then hide it?

    lol, paranoia fixed.

  • I like this, and I suppose it's a shame a Rasp Pi can't be WOL'ed.

    But could another SFF single use/secured device on the same network that doesn't have FDE, also provide that key only if and when you wake it up (manually decrypt the file after ssh'ing into it too?) instead of having a USB drive directly plugged into the main server so, if a nefarious person does have away with the main bounty they're fugged without said second hidden device on the same network?

    ninjaedit: I also at one point in the past did Wireless WOL (wireless NIC's with WOL were prohibitively expensive at the time of me playing) via a Travel router that was acting as an Access Point, simply to wake up forward the magic packet. You could really hide that thing 😇

  • I haven't seen no one mention it yet but you could simply buy a Rasp Pi and use it as a subnet router for your Tailnet.

    It's how I set up a family members Jellyfin/NAS/etc which I can access all their devices by local IP address, and you could do for your Roku too?

  • Fo' shame, I kinda liked it but the writing was on the wall when they promised a V2 and things stalled, which, I suspect is because of things like Jellyseerr working on mobile not only just as well as Lunasea but, better?

    I had the problem of someone who's usually not too bad at setting things up remotely telling them to go to a locally hosted Jellyseerr page, instead of them inputting API keys into Lunasea was night and day. :/

  • I 99% of the time used reddit, and henceforth Lemmy via a mobile client (Boost at the moment) and am curious how you could target me.

    There's also the other frontends like Photon that I use on my PC (1% time.....) that if I'm thinking right also wouldn't show it?

    Cheers for all your work, it's much appreciated!

    https://old.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/88rc3v/the_predictable_threads_are_driving_me_insane/ - archive

    We worked super hard on the above in the background and bravo @Xylight@lemdro.id - you just became GermainZ tier!

  • Huh. The nearest I have to an actual "AOSP" device is my King Kong Cubot phone that has probably the cleanest version of "stock Android" I've ever seen, and I'm going to presume you mean like a Google Pixel / Graphene etc?

    Tailscale and the QS tile / notification was solid on that Cubot but to be honest, I've barely turned it on these days and is now one of those drawer phones.

    Miui / HyperHyperOS though is a different kettle of fish and exempting Tailscale from its App lel Killer does seem to work. 70-80%ish.....

    But there is something that just fuggs up and turn it off/on like most thingys I own 🙈

  • What device/ROM are you using?

    It's been very iffy for me on and off from Miui > HyperHyperOS, but just checking now?

    Works fine

    Like I say, the foreground notification seemed to be the lifeline to some of us using it and keeping it alive, even after IIRC some more restrictions came in with future versions of Android (forgive me, I'm very lazy these days and just skim Mishaal's TG feed 😇)?

    e: also

    comment ;)

  • It loses its foreground notification I've found that kills it for me

    even thou the Quick Toggle and the app itself, shows as running

    If I disconnect/reconnect the notification comes back, and I've found something even more weird on my device (A Xiaomi with its infamous OOM / background app killer....) is Tailscale still actually works fine most of the time without the foreground notification. I'm hazarding a 70% of the time for me?

    A lot of us a while back found v1.5.2 fugged around with the persistent notification going RIP

    Any of you guys solved this crap with the arrr stack downloading ".lnk" ".scr" files?

    I've told qbit to exclude those files and many other extensions from someone's helpful comment on here previously, but the stack keeps on grabbing and seeding them, which the latter I'm a little unhappy about sharing malware.

    While all the boxes on my network have no sign of Windows to get exploited it does worry me about another family members arrr stack because there is a Windows laptop down there, but thankfully not used for media consumption.

    Help?

    Newpipe and using a VPN

    I seem to be suffering from the above bug

    https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

    but it only seems to pervade if I'm using Tailscale to VPN home to my exit node at a family members house?

    Is Google / YT blocking the use of VPN's here / anyone else experiencing this?
