Is it good? I’ve had it in the backlog for a while

Yeah, this was a fresh db. I think it had to do with other instances thinking mine was dead. Things have started to come in as expected now, so hopefully everything works from here (🤞)

Ahhh okay! Yeah it seems that in the 24h since i made this post, things have started to work as I’d expect again!

Guess i was just being impatient, I’ve been going through lemmy withdrawals for the last week or so while i worked through this issue 🤣

Thanks for the matrix link, I’ll join the room (and finally get some real use out of my matrix server)

Well, at least by creating this post, I know that outgoing federation works!

Okay yes this makes sense. Although, honestly i think I’d prefer the AP method of doing it because BlueSky sends ALL content to all nodes, so it’s MUCH less cost effective to join with a private server.

I run my own lemmy instance, so i know the data volume since 2023 has been probably like a terabyte or so. But, with BlueSky I’d have to account for the data volume of all users on the platform as a whole, bringing the data volume way up to tens of terabytes (a guess based almost entirely on nothing).

So it really boils down to yes I agree that AP has problems with data accessibility, but I’d prefer that over unnecessary data redundancy

… but at least the rest of their system is actually substantially more decentralized architecturally than AP is.

In the blog post you linked, neither the author or myself came to your conclusion:

However, I stand by my assertions that Bluesky is not meaningfully decentralized and that it is certainly not federated according to any technical definition of federation we have had in a decentralized social network context previously. To claim that Bluesky is decentralized or federated in its current form moves the goalposts of both of those terms, which I find unacceptable.

Saw it on Friday, the first 75% was fucking fire. Towards the end it started to feel like absurdist comedy a little bit but i still enjoyed it

Was it good? The trailer kinda seemed wack, but it’s doing really well in the box office

FWIW, i also have a great home theater and media library set up. But, the AMC a list subscription is genuinely worth it. $26/mo for 4x movies a week (any format) is such a crazy good deal.

I go to the theaters at least twice a week now, and it’s honestly great. My HT might be good, but its not IMAX good & having a few new movies to choose from vs thousands of options to stream is a win when going with a group too

Mobile order :) place the order when you leave for the theater, and it’ll be ready for pickup when you arrive

In a general sense? No, i don’t think most people require a lesson

But I’m deadass about the lesson, we learned how to read a map, use the map scale, different types of maps, etc etc

Do they not teach this in all schools? I definitely learned map reading in grade school, and I’m Gen Z so being able to read a map was never a necessity in my life

I don’t doubt that, I’m saying this more because there are additional routes that i had to configure in NPM to get lemmy working properly. This may be where OP is having issues, you can probably set them up in CF too but I have no idea.

Are you pointing cloudflare directly to Lemmy? I have mine going from cloudflare to Nginx Proxy Manager configured to serve Lemmy.

There is some additional configuration necessary for a reverse proxy in front of Lemmy, which is potentially where things are getting messed up for you?

Im glad you liked it!! Your point about Agnes is valid, I guess there’s also the argument that she was swept away by the royal life and left everything (including her father) behind? It’s been a while, so I’m fuzzy on some of the smaller details of the movie.

I think you’re right about Alma but its also a fine line between her being a voice of reason and it being too overwhelming. I think it probably could have had more of her perspective on the abuse Elvira was going through.

I really like this movie though, it’s been a few months since release and I still think its probably one of the better movies to have come out this year. But, I also think that these types of movies are the ones I enjoy the most: humanizing/contextualizing people situations that society has a preconceived notion towards. The only other example that I can think of is LVT’s Nymphomaniac, but that’s a tough one to recommend due to the extremely graphic content and the fact that its like six hours between both halves lol.

I hope this movie wins some awards, doesn’t need to be picture of the year or anything but I think it’s a standout amongst its competitors this year.

Okay so I’ll try my best to convey what I know (I studied DFIR in college, but I work as a security engineer now):

There are two types of mobile device forensic acquisitions/collections/extractions: BFU and AFU.

BFU (Before first unlock) extractions simply refer to what Cellebrite is able to pull from the phone when it has been turned on but not unlocked for the first time, similarly AFU (after first unlock) is what it can collect after its been unlocked.

You can think about this as your phone being in two states: when you first boot it up (and I’m talking from the Android perspective, because I have never owned an iPhone) you’re required to use your pin/password to unlock the device and then it will complete its boot. Any time after that first unlock though, you can unlock with stuff like biometrics and its much faster (i know my phone when i unlock for the first time after a boot will display an “Android is Starting” or something like that while it loads up).

Bringing this back to your main question: depending on the OS version and device, what is pulled from AFU/BFU will vary. So looking at the image you linked:

If you were an incident responder, you’d probably read this chart left to right. Lets say i have a Samsung S23 running presumably android 13 or 14, I’d first look at the samsung rows, choose the second one for the version, and then id have to determine if the device is in BFU or AFU mode, and see which options are available to me. In this instance, it doesn’t make a difference because I can get user data from either (because i can brute force the password on the lockscreen for this specific device). Otherwise, a BFU extraction might only pull out surface level information from the device because everything may not have been decrypted yet.

I feel like I’m rambling but I hope it’s shedding some light, your point about the password is important but not everything. Companies like Cellebrite and Magnet pay a lot of money for zero day vulns that they can build exploits for into their software, meaning that if theres something critical (like a pin code bypass) then they could just use that and get all your data. But, there’s a lot of various data on cellphones, take Signal for example (and this is just an example, I don’t actually know): it’s possible that if signal is encrypting messages stored on the device, that even if an examiner pulled that database out, they might still not be able to do anything about it.

My final point, there’s also a high degree of secrecy around these tools. Obviously Cellebrite and Magnet are incentivised to keep their exploits quiet so they continue working, otherwise Google or Apple could just issue a security patch and render them useless. Often, they’ll have different tools that are available to different organizations: a company may have a few cellebrite dongles for internal investigations and litigation support, the details of which are kept under NDA, but they’re still likely to be separate from what an organization like the FBI would have access to. This is why it’s often hard to find information on these tools, especially updated or recent information

I hope that lemmy doesn’t grow any heavier than it is growing right now

I hope for more like minded individuals to help them out

How is the latter supposed to happen without the former? Like it or not, many of us are here solely because Reddit went to shit with their extreme monetization. Lemmy is still a really small community and absolutely NEEDS larger adoption in order to remain a viable option

I have no issue with this, I personally wouldn’t use it but I get that they need to make money (which is why i have a recurrent donation every month).

If this helps them to do that, then so be it

IPA has a freezing point of -128F/-89C. Those bad boys in some sort of stainless steel insert = a fucking coooold drink

Or you use them in a cooler, where everything is sealed anyway and your drinks will get cold super quick + it’ll clean off the cans too

Can confirm i am a melanated individual who doesn’t use sunblock as often as i should (but im also never outside LMFAO)

But yes you’re absolutely correct but I just wanted to clarify that we should be using sunblock but nevertheless it’s still not as much of a risk to us
