Exactly, I feel the mindset of 'line must go up or you die' is really ingrained in people's minds. Even if everyone leaves for something else lemmy will still be here, slowly getting better with updates and time.

Doesn't matter how many people use it. As long as even 1 person wants to use lemmy it will be here...

I didn't know what the contexts behind all of this was, but after reading a bit it was all because of a stupid mod.

Holy fuck, only some sick fuck does this over a stupid videogame.

But the main lesson here is to never share any personal details to the internet. That's how they were able to SWAT him. You never know who is trying to fuck with you.

People are shit.

I can change china for the US in that sentence and it will still make sense

They can sue DeepSeek as much as we can sue openAI for scraping human generated content... this time though we got the model for ourselves, and not to squeeze profit

I don't have chance to dig all the details right now but here's the stuff

Madison/Suop is a small influencer, who at one point a few years back got hired by LMG. It didn't last long and she stopped appearing in videos, and then wasn't ever mentioned again by LMG.

People eventually suspected she wrote this anonymous Glassdoor review on 2022 and had quit.

Now when the first GN video on LMG came out, people pressured her to tell more about why she quit, and she came out with full details. . TLDR there was lots of bullying, harassment, sexist environment, unreasonable work pressure, etc.

Then LMG promised to investigate this whole thing and provide results. Fast forward a few months they posted these findings.

The keywords here is "unsubstantiated, no evidence, unfounded", etc. It's a very vague response and LMG can't say a clear yes or no because there was no evidence. Many of the abuse was verbal and not recorded anywhere, and because it had happened a few years back it could have been lost or removed...

So we as the audience are left with almost as much ambiguity as when this all started... If you compare both sides you can see why I still side with Madison's story:

  • Reasons to believe Madison

    • She has gained nothing from this other than more harassment by rabid fans
    • We have individual vs a business with millions of dollars and an army of parasocial basement dwellers
    • She has kept a very consistent story through many years
    • Her claims have not been disproven
    • There's a few tweets from other employees, and a leaked recording of harassment at LMG back when Madison quit, the only pieces of hard evidence are in her favor
  • Reasons to believe LMG

    • You think linus is your friend
    • You think the "not substantiated" equals "no". I could go burn a house, but if I make it happen like an accident arson won't be substantiated...

Any shit thrown at LMG is good news to me, they deserve it after how dirty they treated Madison back then. They never properly addressed that either in the eyes of the audience...

There's a million ways to do anything when self hosting, so I'll just talk about what I have and if you interested just reply.

I only host a few services for now: Invidious, CloudTube, Redlib, FreshRSS. All of them as docker containers, this helps in quickly updating them and isolating their configurations. I have a few TB of disk space on the server itself that I can access through SMB3 shares, so I don't have a proper NAS yet. Probably will do so at some point when I need it.

As for hardware, I'm using an HP mini-pc with

  • Ryzen 5 PRO 3400GE
  • 16GB DDR4
  • 256GB boot drive (NVME), 2TB storage drive (HDD)

This mini-pc can literally be opened by removing 1 screw, so hardware changes/cleaning can't get easier. I installed Debian on it

As for remote access, I use twingate instead of self-hosted wireguard. Mostly because I'm using my ISPs router and they like to reset it whenever they want. I'm also not confortable opening ports on the router. Twingate covers my use case completely so I never went back to this. I can map a custom domain to the server's IP and this meant I just switch on twingate when I'm out and can access it seamlessly.

You have the link?

I still don't think he's the same guy who shot the CEO, it's clearly for me a different person in the photos...

However, at this point this changes nothing of what's going to happen, anyone caught for this would be facing the same charges. Let's hope the jury feels as we all do and lets him walk

The only thing I wanna see is the ElonJet guy back in a large platform, so that everyone gets easy access to the muskrat's location. That gets him specially angry as we've seen many times

 

If you stumble into this post, chances are you have scoured the internet for solutions to this issue. The few mentions of it out there are answered with completely worthless "turn it off an on again" answers.

Well after spending a few evenings picking apart this issue I finally was able to add an Outlook account using the settings app on my iPad 4 running iOS 10.3.4.

TL:DR

  • Install version .12 of ssl-kill-switch2 from their repo
  • Add your account :)
  • Remove ssl-kill-switch2

Background

Without the above steps, if you try to add an Outlook.com account to your device within the settings app, you would only see a blank WebView splash for half a second, and then it closes. This leaves you with a null account that doesn't work. As you can see, there's not much to go on, and the internet won't be of any help as stated.

Up until a few days ago a workaround was to add your Outlook account under the Microsoft Exchange option (using an app password). However this began failing recently. Currently this approach will yield intermittent "Incorrect Password" popups (even on current iOS versions). I suspect a recent change from Microsoft broke this workaround.

Unfortunately, iOS 10 forces you to use OAuth flow to add Outlook accounts. On earlier versions, there's no issue as you can simply provide an app password to the iOS login form and be on your way.

With these conditions, the only other way to add an Outlook Account is as a manually configured IMAP email. This will provide mail, but does not include Contacts or Calendar sync. It also doesn't support Push syncing.

Investigating the issue

Without much to go on with, I suspected Microsoft was rejecting the request (as the Google & Yahoo options did not immediately close). Therefore I started sniffing HTTPS requests from iOS through mitmproxy. This revealed that iOS first makes a CONNECT request to newaccountredirectdomain.apple.com when you try adding an Outlook account. This is the only request I saw, so my iPad was not even reaching Microsoft at all before kicking me out of the authentication flow. Other account options (Gmail, Yahoo) make a call to gil.apple.com and do continue afterwards with requests to google or yahoo.

I started reading up on similar issues, and they all pointed to certificate pinning being the culprit. This eventually led me to installing ssl-kill-switch2. It appears the Settings app implements some certificate pinning. Basically the settings App has defined certificates it expects the remote servers to present, any other certificate means the connection will be dropped.

I was then led to a bunch of time waste and headaches, because the latest version of ssl-kill-switch does not properly work on iOS 10, and there's no mention of this anywhere. Ssl-kill-switch2 has hardly been properly maintained, and through some open issues I started to suspect the latest version didn't actually work (on iOS 10 at least).

Therefore I installed v.12, did a respring, and tried adding an Outlook account. I could see that the WebView started and finally presented the Microsoft login web form. It accepted my credentials and a few seconds later I had my account added.

That's about it, hopefully someone with the same issue stumbles upon this post, and saves all the time I spent on this lmao.

 

Decided to check back on things after a coming across a comment saying a month had already gone by. Completely unsurprisingly everything was swept under the rug. The promise to "release findings" seems now nothing but a tactic to shut up anyone calling them out and now they just act like nothing happened.

Who woulda thunk?.

On the quality issues they still manage to fuck up even with all the "new processes" Won't surprise me if sooner rather than later they just go back to the regular shitshow.

 

I'm reading up on self-hosting Lemmy, and I was planning on creating my own private instance for individual use on some spare Azure ASP I use to host private FreshRSS (not rich to host a public service).

This basically shuts my idea down, because I wanted to simply host my account myself and browse all of Lemmy as I please.

So is everyone hosting individual instances dealing with them being public? is there a workaround to avoid having a public service that anyone can see?
