Lemmy.world (and some others) were hacked
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1290412
> While I was asleep, apparently the site was hacked. Luckily, (big) part of the lemmy.world team is in US, and some early birds in EU also helped mitigate this. > > As I am told, this was the issue: > > - There is an vulnerability which was exploited > - Several people had their JWT cookies leaked, including at least one admin > - Attackers started changing site settings and posting fake announcements etc > > Our mitigations: > > - We removed the vulnerability > - Deleted all comments and private messages that contained the exploit > - Rotated JWT secret which invalidated all existing cookies > > The vulnerability will be fixed by the Lemmy devs. > > Details of the vulnerability are here > > Many thanks for all that helped, and sorry for any inconvenience caused! > > Update > While we believe the admins accounts were what they were after, it could be that other users accounts were compromised. Your cookie could have been 'stolen' and the hacker could have had access to your account, creating posts and comments under your name, and accessing/changing your settings (which shows your e-mail). > > For this, you would have had to be using lemmy.world at that time, and load a page that had the vulnerability in it.

What's Another Word To Use Instead of 'Gay' ?
Not in the sense of ppl being homosexual. I'm talking about when ppl use it to describe something 'lame'
Like that's 'gay'
I'm not asking for political correctness. I'm asking because I want to be able to insult ppl online without having to get reprimanded about it.
Something else that sounds funny

What Sense of Meaning and Purpose Can Aging Single People Have Without a Family?
There seem to be a growing number of unmarried people today who may have been brought up to view their purpose in life as being tied to having a family, and they may be getting too old to have kids (in the case of some unmarried women for example).
How can they find a sense of meaning in life without a family?
I have trouble wrapping my head around this, due to the understanding that a person could dedicate their life to God and live as a celibate as like a monk or priest or nun if they don't marry, and I feel pretty content with the idea of being married or single or in some religious commitment.
But this seems like it may be a growing problem for other people who do not share my outlook and I was wondering if people have ideas on how these people can cope with the issue.

Seriously. Are We, 'Exploding-heads' users, Really Fuckin Nazi Asshole, Ignorant, Hateful, Transphobic Pieces Of Shit?
I'm gunna start by saying, I wish I could slap everyone in the face right now. Lol a respectful smack in the mouth if you will.
Ok, so I was reading a thread on another instance that was going to defederate with us, and OBVIOUSLY It was irritating as fuck.
I'm gunna rant here a little bit, but I'm tired of being fucking demonized and spoken of in a condescending way.
I'm a white female a quarter Panamanian, have 3 half black and white cousins, a big black mother fuckin uncle lol I only date Mexican men, had a very close gay best friend, use to make out with other girls at parties when I was young and stupid (Drunk doing dumb shit) grew up in Southern California where being white was the minority and was hated on by Mexicans all the time, I'm indifferent about abortion, think a lot of trans women are actually more beautiful then regular born women, love gay people and drag queens and I'm a conservative republican.
I don't see how all of that qualifies me as being a Nazi. One important thing I want to say is when it comes down to jokes and humor I think people take that in a certain way that distorts their thinking.
I'm not exactly sure how to word this but when it comes to you jokes and humor and being funny it's not something that portrays my beliefs I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Like if I see a racist post about black people and it's really funny, I'm laughing at the stereotype fucked up if that makes sense.
I'm not laughing and agreeing with it.
With that, there's some memes or things that people say that are too extreme for even me to find humorous.
Why am I considered a bad person ?
What the fuck is so God dam bad about exploding-heads? I feel like people don't have the ability to laugh at themselves anymore.
Like for instance if somebody posts a misogynist meme that makes fun of women and it's really funny I laugh at it because it's fucking hilarious but I don't agree with that shit and I acknowledge that some people think that way.
It's just a stupid dumb joke yeah there's misogynist people but they're not in my life and they're not affecting my life directly I don't care about them I'm just laughing at a fucking joke.
Why do people take things so God damn seriously these days?

Best non-p.c. / non-woke comedians?
Saw Alice's post asking about the worst ones, got me thinking who's the best ones... But figured I'd clarify what I mean by 'best' 😉
I don't follow any of them regularly but the ones that have had some decent shows I've liked are:
- Bill Burr
- good ol' George Carlin (I know he's definitely not conservative but that's fine... He's not pc and I think if he was still around he'd be too offensive for wokees)
- Jo Kay - only saw one show at a friend's house but seemed ok
- Kyle Kinane

Why Are People So Against Traditional Roles In A Relationship?
I noticed a lot of hate for it. Also I think it's stupid when people say women have a choice to stay home or work.
No they don't. Most men today don't want a woman to stay home. So we only have one choice and that is to work.

What about instead of a plane flying a banner saying " will you marry me" it says "Denise, it's over. I've had enough of your shit"
How would you break up with someone in a funny way?

Federation with Mastodon
I can follow some exploding-heads user accounts on Mastodon but not others. Why is that? Is there some individual per user setting that governs whether accounts can be followed in Mastodon?

Should i commit to a serious relationship to a girl with no job or college degree?
I’ve been hooking up with a girl i knew from my high school years for the past month now. She has no job and she lives at home with her parents. She hasn’t had a job since she got fired from her last job at a clothing store (about 8 months ago). I can’t say I’m in love although we do say i love you to each other. She kind of brought up the idea yesterday after we had sex. Not going to lie I’m a little scared. What should i do? Do i break up with her? Should i make an ultimatum that if she wants to move in with me she needs to get a job first? Edit: she wants to move into my apartment

How do I create a community?
I tried to create a community but it didn't work. I filled in all the fields and pushed the creat button but nothing happened. What am I doing wrong? Must I be granted some permission for this?

What happens if I eat unrefrigerated hot sauce?
Because I just used up the bottle that's been sitting on the counter all year and noticed its label says "refrigerate after opening." I opened a new bottle -- different brand, but both are pretty much just vinegar and pepper -- that just says "shake well."

How to Post Just Images Now?
In the old days, I would just take a picutre, copy it, and ctrl + v it where URL went, and, voila! I have my meme ready to be titled and posted...
Now..?
I get an error every time I do that.
Embarrassing to ask, I know: I should invest some random amount of time into reading stuff,trying to find the most current mthod...
But instead I offer my humble upvote and praise to whomever helps me.

Incidental Inappropriate Content in Public?
4-5 days ago, while riding public transportation, I was in a telegram channel that was normally fine, no extreme content, and up came a gore video that I ended up watching 5-10 seconds of (and fully regretting)... But I partly needed that time to process what was going on, and to know if that was really happening....
Just this morning, I was curious after hearing about the Zion Williamson scandal and searched for information on one of the women involved in his issues... And there I am on the subway again, and I got just this feed that is all Instagram-tier butt-shots & thong dances...
Again, I don't really linger too long, but I am curious as to what the overall gallery looks like and was partly amazed that there was no SFW material. But, again, this is on Instagram, so while not exactly SFW, it's still not too crazy...
My question:
Is it terrible to view this kind of material in a public place if you are at least holding it close to your face or otherwise seeking some amount of privacy?
Am I the asshole for lingering on this material? I was conscious of the people around me and at that moment I was certain nobody could really be looking in on what I was watching unless they were literally stealthily looking over with just their eyeballs. The train wasn't overly crowded, after all.

"Select Language"
I am curious if there is a way to get it to autodetect..? Or if that is in the works?
It seems inconvenient.
There should just be the default language you are posting in, and then the ability to toggle quickly to another preferred language.
At no point will you ever see me post in Kreyol ayisyen but when I even want to mark that I am posting in Korean, that is what comes up when I hit "k" or "ko" and want to get to Korean. Yet, it works for getting right to English to hit 'En' when selecting the language bar.

Haven't Been Here In A While Am Curious About What The Growth Has Been?
Hey what's up everybody. I used to use exploding heads sister site I guess called wolf balls. But unfortunately closed a while ago. And after that I stopped using Lemmy and the Lemmy app. I'm curious to know especially with all this Reddit shit going on, how much has the user growth gone up I guess in the past 6 months? Are you noticing an influx right now?

Is it working again?
