Yes, but It’s pretty hands off since 99% of security stuff is managed for you by the Lemmy software, including rate limiting. Just make sure you use a secure password and if you want put the instance behind cloudflare which is super easy to do.

She’ll have to get a computer and use it in her free time instead of a phone. It’s the best way

Thank you for the post. I confirm this is definitely a problem.

Yes. If your country is authoritarian use cryptocurrency such as Monero. Even Bitcoin can be much better.

The bank would know the amount, the merchant and other details even if it’s a merchant from abroad. The bank might have a duty to report certain transactions or could be forced to give out a record. Other international payment process or foreign banks will generally not refuse a request if it comes from a country government you are a citizen of.

You can use crypto to buy gift cards to shop at regular retailers. This is your safest bet if you’re concerned about a state surveillance of your transactions.

That amount of stress when you rush a deadline isn’t humane for sure.

The Hot timeline becomes stale if the lemmy server isn’t restarted every 6 hours or so, which takes 10 seconds but can’t be done on larger instances such as lemmy.world because it kills the queue of outgoing activity.

This is a known bug and is being worked on. For the time being you should try with “top 6 hours” and “top 12 hours” sorting.

In case anyone’s wondering this is what we instance admins can see in the database. In this case it’s an obvious example, but this can be used to detect patterns of vote manipulation.

I’d say people worrying about Karma.

Testing.

Oh wait, this is a recent commit. Probably coming in the next version.

How everyone who knew how to had their own personal homepage.

I’d be more inclined to reach out to Louis Rossmann, especially since he’s said he won’t post on reddit anymore. Maybe we can even find a home on lemmy for his right to repair campaign.
