That's entirely different. As an individual, I have the choice to send emails to, or block emails from, Gmail.com.

But on Lemmy, if I am on an instance that federates with Threads, and I don't want Threads.net to get a copy of my content or posts (or have my content or posts show up on Threads.net in the future), then tough shit for me, my only option is to either go silent or move to an instance that has defederated from Threads.

People keep making the email argument, but it is not the same thing at all. I don't think it's fair for a large percentage of lemmy.world's users to not have a voice in a decision that will absolutely impact them, nor is it fair to have a stance of "then leave then."

Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying at first. You're right, it's not everything on the instance that gets sent, only those things that federated instances need.

But as a user, unless I run my own instance, I don't get to decide when my posts or edits get sent out to any federated servers. That's what I was referring to. All of that stuff gets sent out "like a firehose."

And over time, as more people on Threads interact with certain ActivityPub instances, the range of communities Threads will be sent updates for might as well be the entire instance. If I block them, that's just a visual block. My stuff will still be sent to them, and depending on how they set up their federation, my content might be available on "threads.net" as well.

ActivityPub doesn't just push everything on a server to every federated instance like a fire hose.

I'm pretty sure Lemmy does? I run my own instance and that's how it works.

Is Mastodon different?

This doesn't solve the problem of sending Threads a copy of absolutely every bit of activity that happens on the instance. If I'm on an instance that federates with Threads, even if I put them out of sight/out of mind, they still get a copy of everything I do. A lot of people are on the fediverse for privacy reasons, yet here we are with people begging to hand Facebook this data on a silver platter.

"But why hide information that's public? They could just scrape it."

Yes, they could. But a real-time feed of activity is more complete, easier to manage, and doesn't require them to go and build a scraping tool just for this.

If I don't want Threads to have any of my data sent to them, I should be able to choose without needing to leave an instance I've been on for potentially years.

Look at the build I linked in my issue there. You will see an artifacts page where you can download a working build as a zip. You need to be logged in to GitHub to see the download link.

But like I said, Zygisk is still pretty broken even with that build. You'll get "further," but I wouldn't recommend running it as a daily driver.

No one has any clue when 27 is coming. I just know 26.4 was the last 26.x build.

Are you on GrapheneOS by chance? Either disable Zygisk or try the build I linked here. They kinda rushed the 26 builds out the door without a lot of testing, which is a shame, considering there will be no more releases until v27

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/7489

However, be warned: my system was very unstable with Zygisk enabled even with this build. Everything would "work," but apps would randomly crash, be unresponsive, or just display very strange behavior that all went away when Zygisk was disabled. I leave it disabled for now and will try again in v27.

For apps that have root detection, try web versions of those services when possible. Especially banking services.

Hi :)

If you're already running an instance, you're not going to have a good time of this on the same server unfortunately. The webserver config I ship assumes a single instance, and all of the handling assumes only one domain. You would have to basically modify my entire script to support something like this.

You can take a look at my advanced configuration page to figure out what files you can edit, but this would be a very manual process for what you want to do.

Apologies, but you would be better off deploying a new server.

I didn't come from Kbin and I mostly just lurk here, but I do have an observation.

This is the only post in this community in the last 12 hours. Looking back around a month, there are only a few posts to this community per week. I subscribed to it because I like following Cybersecurity topics, but people trying to find new communities to follow might view it as "inactive" and avoid adding this to their subscriptions list.

Maybe Kbin handles this a bit differently, but here on Lemmy, all content from a community is only delivered to subscribers after they have subscribed. In other words, if I had only just subscribed to this community right now, I'd probably have no idea this post was even created.

With less people subscribing, you have less reach to people that know this community has content, and it becomes a bit of an unfortunate cycle.

I think your weekly threads are a good idea, but I think you may want to start crossposting links to this community to other communities and instances to get people to subscribe, so this one can grow. That will probably naturally drive more people to these weekly threads.

CalyxOS (and the supported devices) expose you to a classic “evil maid attack” applied to phones.

As usual if you’re looking to have any security (Verified boot) GrapheneOS + Pixel phone is the only options. I really don’t get it how come people(...) are okay with having a phone with all their personal data and logins without verified boot. Stolen / lost phone and game over.

But CalyxOS focuses on verified boot too?

I don't have the same issue. Fennec from F-Droid runs at 120Hz even with tabs open

The indicator does flicker between 60 and 120 while the page is loading, but it's not perceptible. However, if what I'm seeing means the FPS goes down to 60 while the app is busy, this may be some kind of performance throttling done to keep resource usage low. If you have lower end specs, this may be the explanation. I'm on a Pixel 6 Pro.

Not sure what you mean. I'm not trying to use an external monitor, I just want to use AR glasses I already own. There's no adapter for that, it's just a USB C cable.
