Last year I did a major fuckup and bought a .us domain without noticing that they don't support WhoIs privacy, so my name number and address became part of the public WhoIs database scrapes. Since then my spam texts and calls have vastly multiplied. I'm realistic about the fact that the damage is done and it'll always exist out there, but I would happily pay some money to a service that sends takedown requests for the data in the public databases like LexisNexis etc. to lessen the damage. Do you know of any services that do this somewhat reliably? Or even a guide or something about doing this manually?

Do you think it's worth keeping 2FA OTPs in a separate source from your password manager? Currently I keep them in Bitwarden. I was thinking keeping them separate could add a little extra security in case my BW was cracked, but not sure it's worth the hassle of loading a second app for logins.

Do you know of an app that does 2FAs as conveniently as Bitwarden, in that it has mobile apps, browser extension, etc that can all access the same vault?

here's one i came across from an awesome-selfhosted list. i would need to test the PWA experience https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth

I know this is somewhat defeating of the privacy purpose but I use FF because of sync- is there an alternative that can use something like webdav to sync my bookmarks/history/etc between instances? e; i know floccus is around for bookmarks but i find history useful too

weirdly if you search "website advertising preferences" in the firefox setting search bar nothing comes up, you have to manually scroll to find it

If anyone else has dealt with iCloud Drive constantly getting stuck uploading I wanted to share the best solution I have so far and ask if anyone has fixed it another way.

What I've figured out from reading Apple support and Reddit threads is that there's a daemon called bird at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CloudDocsDaemon.framework/Versions/A/Support/bird that handles syncing, and killing it forcing it to restart usually gets things working again.

My oneliner script to kill it to force a restart: pid=$(ps -ax | pgrep bird | awk '{print}'); kill $pid

But sometimes it restarts and gets stuck the same way. Do you get this issue? Figured anything out about it?

these numbers are nearly reaching the point where buying seasons of shows on iTunes, which always seemed insanely expensive, becomes the better option for people who watch specific stuff. never thought I’d see the day

youtube suggestions are genuinely terrible for the individual and humanity as a whole

Promethium Books, a publisher of the Curesbrand Chronicles, Epic Age, and Advent Horizon tabletop role-playing games, today announced a partnership with Nihon Falcom, the developer of the popular Ys and The Legend of Heroes (also known as Trails) video game series, to produce two original tabletop RPG games based on the two franchises.

The first game, Ys: Age of Heroes, will be a traditional fantasy TTRPG set in the world of Ys, where players can take on the role of heroes following the footsteps of Adol Christin and his friends, exploring the dangerous lands of Ys while battling the forces of evil.

The second game, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Destiny, will be a more modern TTRPG where players face the complex political backdrop of the continent of Zemuria, investigating mysteries and fighting the forces of corruption.

i agree. some values are universal, like what should be considered cruel, but slaughtering pigs is pretty cruel too (i eat them anyways!). to me, what's funny here is how privileged first world people just hate to see how the hot dog is made, so to speak.

it's like privileged people hating to simply see homeless people in cities even though the system that makes people homeless is necessary to keep the high property values that they benefit from. the mere witness of the cruelty we benefit from in modern society makes the privileged one feel like a victim.

you should try subscribing to your home feed in an rss reader for a day too, it's a great feature of lemmy and discourages scrolling forever

wonder if they're gonna nuke nsfw rss feeds

FreshRSS is ugly and sometimes clunky but seems to be unparalleled for features and support (Reeder + Netnewswire for clients) as far as selfhosted options go

@AqueelMiq this is a temporary restriction, we will re-enable logged out twitter access in the near future
