  • Does plus addresses help circumvent that? I think most email providers supports plus addressing (also known as sub-addressing). You can add plus sign and any string before the at sign. For example: youremail+lemmyaccount1@email.com. The string between plus and at signs can be anything, and all these addresses points to your normal inbox with the added benefit that you can filter them into different folders.

    PS. Lemmy version 0.18.2 was released today. It fixes the vulnerability and has some other improvements as well.


  • Also be wary when using apps and especially when enabling push notifications. Lemmy API currently lacks any kind of support for partial access to an account (unless this has changed recently). So, apps cannot, for example, get read only access to your account’s inbox. Apps can get either no access or full access. When you sign up for push notifications, an authentication token is stored to the push notification server which gives full access to your account to who ever happens to get their hand on that token. If there, for example, happens to be a security vulnerability on the push notification server, it might leak those tokens.

    If you have enabled push notifications on some Lemmy app, and want to invalidate the token, you can just change your password.

    Here’s a post by Memmy for Lemmy’s developer about push notifications: https://lemmy.ml/post/1534493









  • Not an audio engineer, but I had unshielded (thin) cables in my home speaker setup. If the cables were positioned correctly, everything was fine. Accidentally move them even a little, and there’d be a huge amount of noise, due to power cables going near the speaker cables. Switched to shielded (thick) cables, and there’s no noise ever.


  • This is a good article: The Non-Judgmental Guide to Getting Seriously Into Tea

    You should try different types of teas. Teas are classified into 6 categories: White, green, yellow, black, oolong and post-fermented (also known as puer or puerh). Puerh is further divided into ripe (shu) and raw (sheng) puerh. Also teas from different countries have their own characteristics. Try them all, and find your favorites.

    Supermarket teas, whether teabags or loose leaf, aren’t very good in general. Of course, there are exceptions, and if flavored teas is what you like, there’s plenty of those in markets. But if you want good loose leaf teas, you need to buy from tea shops. Here’s a long list of online tea shops around the world. You can use the search feature to filter the list. If you, for example, want to find shops that sell teaware and are based in United Kingdom, you can search for “teaware kingdom”.

    If you want to buy teaware, a good rule for what to buy is this: Spend the money on tea instead. Don’t buy some crazy expensive clay pots, when a simple porcelain gaiwan (cup with a lid) does the job perfectly.






  • I would reinstall Windows, especially if the current installation is old. As long as you can connect all the drives to your computer, you can move files from the old disks. If the games on F: and G: are on Steam or Epic (and other similar launchers probably works similarly), it’s easy to move the games around using those launchers. Games that have been installed outside of such launchers might not work if they are moved to a disk with different drive designation or if they are moved to a new Windows installation.
