Lemmy decided to go with SHA256 for TOTP seed. This is a very odd move since many 2FA apps don’t support SHA256. I actually had to write a quick python script to spit out my 2FA code since Bitwarden doesn’t support it. Hopefully either Lemmy will change to SHA-1 or Bitwarden will start to support SHA256 seeds.
I started using SearXNG and actually blocked Reddit from the results. As someone who almost always put “Reddit” in my google searches, I’ve been impressed with the quality of my search results without relying on Reddit.
Boost or US Mobile are the new Mint. Think Boost actually has a chance of hanging around for a while since they are owned by Dish who is building out their own network of towers (think they just hit coverage of 70% of US). They also use both T-Mobile and AT&T for roaming with their rainbow sims, which is extremely rare. US Mobile is a Verizon MVNO… their “unlimited” package has the same priority as post-paid Verizon customers for the first 30gb each month, but I’m afraid they’re eventually going to get bought out by Verizon ala Mint.

I think you mean explicitly open the port on your router, but even then that’s not true. Plex by default will proxy your traffic so that even closed off servers can be reached. It is pretty easy to disable remote access in the server settings though.
I ran arch (btw) for years on my XPS. Just grabbed the new Air 15 and I don’t think I could go back. Considered trying Asahi, but I just don’t see a reason to.
I really wish more apps were straight up switching to Lemmy like this.
I will be declining my refund. Got way more use out of Apollo than any other app.
Good catch. He’s a marked bot now.
Every community has their feeds listed in the sidebar. That is actually how the bot is controlled. It looks up communities, scrapes any RSS feeds in the sidebar and then posts any unseen links to the community.
Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner next to your notifications. Make sure you are searching for “All”. There appears to be some sort of bug where if you search for communities that it won’t return anything. If you search “All” it’ll find the community. Make sure to put in the actual name of the community you’re wanting to find in this format: !community@server.url. You wan’t to put in the actual community name, not the friendly name. In this example I’m searching for Youtube News (yt_news) on Lemmy.link.
I would absolutely love to see it! The biggest hurdle so far has been finding quality RSS feeds.

Just to be clear… this is not the source to linkbot. The creator of this rss bot is @kensand@lemmy.kensand.net
Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll get them added to my todo list.
Apologize if I ran afoul of any code-of-conduct. Haven’t used the cross-post before and I wasn’t sure if it would work across instances.
This is fantastic! Thank you!! I’ll work through the list and see what I can do.
Absolutely fair points and I already had the concern about being “fair and balanced”. The feeds I’ve added so far are either diverse (Youtube News is a great example: it contains both CNN and Fox News YouTube feeds) or are generally considered neutral (AP News and Reuters).
When it comes to UFOs and religion I’d have no problem adding them, but would absolutely break those out into their own communities. If someone is super interested in UFOs then they are welcome to subscribe to the UFO community with like minded people. Ultimately I’m trying to keep the number of feeds per community fairly low and make sure they are on-topic.
All that said I think it’s up to the community to upvote/downvote as they wish. That is really the power of link aggregators like Lemmy and Reddit. Crap gets downvoted into oblivion and the spicy nugs float to the top. Link aggregators do come with their own drawbacks (echo chambers and trolls to name two), but they are very powerful once you’ve found the right communities.
Thank you for the well wishes! Sorry it’s not right for you, but I really appreciate the feedback to make sure I’m executing this properly.
I was able to get them all subscribed on my Beehaw account. You’d want to search for !yt_explainers@lemmy.link to find the community.
Since the posts are to my Lemmy.link server, all of the posts and comments will be on my server. The mod work will be on me to maintain.
I have plans to open source linkbot once I clean up the code. It was thrown together in a couple of hours yesterday, so it’s not well formatted. However, someone just commented on another post that they had just finished their bot and posted it to GitHub. I haven’t looked into it at all, but you can find the link to that comment here.
Many (if not most) new cars have their own cellular service built in. They spin this as being able to hotspot to your vehicle if you pay for data or being able to remote lock/start your vehicle with their app. However, the vehicle manufacturer has their own plan allowing them to relay back telemetry data regardless of whether you buy a data package.
