Confession. I wrote a lot of fake stories on Reddit. in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

Infinity for Reddit plans to go subscription-only July 1st in hopes of sustainability, price undecided for now in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn't care for. Ah well. I don't blame them of course, but reddit isn't something I'm going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.

Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater Harassment in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Lemmy's "block" is essentially a "mute" function, too. It makes it so that you don't see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff.

Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees! in c/sysadmin@lemmy.ml
[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Officially Lemmy just calls them "communities", but I figure that you can call them "subs" because you subscribe to them.

Difference between kbin and lemmy in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml
[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

On Lemmy, if a community on another server doesn't appear when you search for it, you can use the syntax "!communityname@server.name". Your login Lemmy server will then go out and index it and it will appear in the search a few moments later.

Is there a way to do that on kbin? I've tried every syntax for a Lemmy community that I know of and nothing seems to work.

!communityname@server.name
/c/communityname@server.name
server.name/c/communityname
@communityname@server.name
etc.

Duo vs Microsoft Authenticator (2023): In-depth comparison in c/sysadmin@lemmy.ml
[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Just curious as to what everyone's using for MFA in their environments. Duo? Microsoft Authenticator? Okta? A jumble of different solutions depending on which system needed to be covered at the time and with no additional budget?

Duo vs Microsoft Authenticator (2023): In-depth comparison (www.techrepublic.com)
 

Duo uses push notifications, time-based, one-time passwords, physical tokens and biometrics to verify the identity of users at login. Similarly, Microsoft Authenticator uses push notifications, one-time passcodes, and biometrics for authentication and can integrate with Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory. While both 2FA options share some similarities, there are still key differences that can sway your decision to choose one over the other.

Libraries say they never offered ‘obscene’ materials, but Ashcroft’s rule has them scrambling (www.stltoday.com)

Bonner said that even if librarians and a library board confirm a book is appropriate, the Ashcroft rule might “give them a path to appeal to the Secretary of State’s office or use the language of the SoS rule to sue in court.”

He said: “The rule is not about making libraries shelve materials in appropriate areas. Libraries already do that. They’ve been exceedingly conscientious about this issue since before I was born. No library I’ve ever worked at or used has what a reasonable person would call pornography in any kids’ area, or what the Supreme Court has determined would be ‘obscene.’ This rule corrects a problem that only exists in propaganda.

“The rule is about forcing librarians to conform to the views of a subset of the community instead of trying to serve the whole community, by increasing the leverage of that subset and by making librarians fearful of angering that subset.”

He also has told his board that “there is no way to be safe from challenge and still be a library,” referring to library goals to offer books with various viewpoints and to serve diverse patrons.

It's infuriating that we're letting these christo-fascists determine how the rest of us are allowed to live our lives. I wonder what it will take for us to reach that "Have you no sense of decency?" moment with them. But of course they don't, because that would require a conscience.

St. Louis County town tows cars from driveways with expired tags (fox2now.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1188319

Calverton Park’s ordinance ‘prohibits property owners from having an unlicensed and/or inoperable car on the property.’

The city confirmed that since December 2020, there’s been a total of 350 violations and 81 vehicles towed away. If the vehicle is towed away, the city will also issue an abatement fee.

Attorney Jeff Schwartz said Missouri law clearly states that a car can’t be towed from private property unless it’s a safety hazard, or at the request of the property owner. He said trying to argue an expired tag is also a safety hazard is a stretch.

Juniper improves UX with cloud-based NAC and Mist AI-ChatGPT integration (www.sdxcentral.com)
 

Juniper Networks takes on complex legacy network access control (NAC), introducing its own cloud-based, Mist AI-driven solution. It also enhanced its Marvis virtual network assistant (VNA) with the ChatGPT integration.

Traditional NAC services built using on-premises overlay hardware are often complex and brittle to deploy, operate and authenticate the devices, while lacking agility and ability to scale, noted Christian Gilby, senior director of product marketing at Juniper Networks.

Juniper’s Mist Access Assurance service is built on the technologies from its WiteSand acquisition. The networking vendor bought the cloud-native, zero-trust NAC startup last year and integrated the technology into its Mist portfolio in a bid to compete against Cisco’s Identity Services Engine and Aruba Networks’ Clearpass NACs.

In Pursuit of 1.6T Data Center Network Speeds (www.networkcomputing.com)
 

For the last 30 years, modern society has depended on data center networks. Networking speeds must continue to increase to keep up with the demand caused by emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles (AVs) and artificial intelligence (AI). Further innovation in high-speed data will enable 800 gigabits per second (800G) and 1.6 terabits per second (1.6T) network speeds.

what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do... nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it's done for the past several years.

Then again, I'm defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don't show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.

Pat Robertson, broadcaster who helped make religion central to GOP politics, dies at 93 in c/atheism@lemmy.ml

Good fucking riddance. Scroll down to just past the halfway mark in the article (beginning with "At times, his on-air pronouncements drew criticism.") where it recaps everything you actually need to know about this shit human being.

Judge hears arguments over Missouri AG push to inflate cost of abortion initiative petition • Missouri Independent (missouriindependent.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1174730

Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s attempt to increase the cost of an abortion-rights initiative petition was unprecedented and illegal, lawyers for the Missouri ACLU and state auditor’s office argued Wednesday in Cole County Court.

”No attorney general has ever attempted to exercise this level of discretion,” said Robert Tillman, deputy general counsel for Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick.

Meanwhile, the attorney general’s office contends it was simply exercising its authority under state law when it refused to sign off on a fiscal note summary crafted by the auditor that said the abortion-rights initiative petition would have no cost to state or local government.
