Oh man. If I could find a way to stop the phishing emails, I would absolutely love it.
No idea why exchange consistently lets through emails asking to change exchange passwords? Surely they would be the easiest to seperate out

The ttionya/vaultwarden-backup tool is intended to work with Docker volumes. However, you are using a bind mount, not a named volume. Bind mounts refer to the use of local folders to store data, as in your case (./vaultwarden:/data/), while volumes create a specific place within Docker’s own filesystem for the data.
Although this tool is designed for volumes, it might still work with bind mounts if the backup container can access the data directory. You would need to modify the volume line in the Docker Compose file for the backup tool to point to the directory where your bind mount is located, i.e., to point it to your local ./vaultwarden directory.
So, you might want to adjust your docker-compose.yml file like this:
services:
vaultwarden-backup:
image: ttionya/vaultwarden-backup:latest
container_name: vaultwarden-backup
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- BACKUP_INTERVAL=12h
- PRUNE_BACKUPS=7D
volumes:
- ./vaultwarden:/vaultwarden:ro
- ./backups:/backups
restart: unless-stopped
In this configuration, ./vaultwarden:/vaultwarden:ro line is the key. It mounts your local ./vaultwarden directory to /vaultwarden inside the backup container (readonly mode), which should allow the backup tool to access the data.
In the age of A.I., and in software programming in general, it’s often the opposite.
Where I am in AUS, it seems to be crane rental. I guess pretty easy just to invoice out a days rental and sit around doing nothing.
A few years back, I moved into an old farmhouse in the countryside. It was peaceful, except for the noises that would come from the attic every night, a soft thumping like someone walking around. After a couple of sleepless nights, I finally mustered the courage to check it out.
I climbed up to the attic with a flashlight. It was full of dusty old furniture and trinkets, probably from previous tenants. As I was examining a pile of old newspapers, my flashlight caught something - a pair of eyes glowing in the dark, staring right back at me. I nearly dropped the flashlight in shock. As I shone the light in the direction, I found an old portrait of a woman. The eyes were eerily lifelike. I convinced myself it was just the way the light was hitting it.
The noises didn’t stop, but I learned to live with them. But the weirdest part was when I left the house a 6 months later. The movers came to get my stuff, and I told them to leave everything in the attic, I’d Grabe those items myself. I mainly needed movers for the big heavy stuff. Later, when I returned to pick up some remaining items, the portrait was gone.
To this day, I still can’t figure out where it could have gone, why just that. Probably some completely logical explanation, but it still gives me chills when I think about it.
Hmm. If it needs to be live, something like red pill media may have japanese content.
I have a similar problem wanting to watch Dutch and German TV. I just gave in and found a couple of good Usenet indexers for each Language, and just host a plex media library for both. With a radarr container for each language.
I find that even with the best diffusion models, replication and character sets are virtually impossible. Also text does not work.
Nah. I like the bullet points. Clear tell us always the opening sentences. If it’s helpful it’s helpful. If not. It’s not. I pay for gpt4, so if I haven’t used my quota, I like to use it answering questions.
Lemmy is a federated social network, similar to Mastodon, where anyone can create and run their own instance. This means it's not centrally controlled by one entity. The reasons for having many instances include:
1. Decentralization: This reduces the power of any single entity over the entire network and prevents any central point of failure. If one instance goes down, others are unaffected. This design also helps resist censorship because content moderation is handled individually by each instance.
2. Community autonomy: Each instance can form its own unique community with its own rules and norms. This can promote diversity of thought and freedom of expression, as different communities can have different standards and policies.
3. Privacy and security: Having separate instances can provide a higher degree of privacy and security. The admin of an instance only has access to data from their instance, not the entire network.
Regarding the concern of popular instances becoming like Reddit, it's worth noting that decentralization inherently provides a counterbalance. If an instance becomes too dominant or its policies become unpopular, users can migrate to or create a new instance. In the end, the federated nature of Lemmy allows for a much more democratic and user-driven online community.
Just show edit history. For titles and comments. This happened a lot on Reddit when I was moderating there. Someone would write an abusive, or doxing comment etc. comment would be removed. They’d edit the comment the complain about it being removed.
Only work around we had was to screenshot comments when removing them.
Seeing edit history would be great. could even give mods the ability to revert, if worried about advertising. Or just if someone does it. Remove it. Ban them. Whatever. But as of now, you’d have no way of knowing.
You seem on top of everything. No red flags when I look at what you are considering. Any will do great.
The Topnton i3-n305 Mini PC is a good choice. Intel NUC is another solid option, especially when used with a RAID enclosure for storage. Remember cooling is crucial for these devices, particularly if they'll be housed in a small space. The importance of a good cooling solution cannot be overemphasized.
As for the operating system, Ubuntu is user-friendly and well-supported. You can run your desired applications like Plex or Jellyfin for media serving, qBittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr for torrenting, Wireguard for VPN, AdGuard or PiHole for ad-blocking, and Home Assistant for home automation, all on Linux. For managing these services, consider using Docker. It can help keep your system organized and simplify the process of updating. If you’re currently using them in a nas, you’re probably doing so already. But take the opportunity to clean things up, and if you’re not doing so already, use docker compose.
Foe backups, rsync can be used for local backups and Rclone for backing up to the cloud.
Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?
Does anyone else find absolute silence difficult to deal with? In particular difficult to sleep in complete silence?
I think it started from a young age, being obsessed with music. Falling asleep with music.
As an adult, I still struggle with this and need some form of audio to drift off, be it music or something else.
More recently, I find stand-up comedy works best - it's light-hearted and doesn't require too much thought.
Star-gazing as Time Travel: Are We Observing the Universe or its Past?
While we're all aware that light travels at a fixed speed, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, here's something to ponder: when we gaze up at the night sky, we're not seeing the universe as it is, but as it was. The light from those distant stars and galaxies has taken years, centuries, millennia, even millions of years to reach our eyes.
When we look out into space, we're essentially looking back in time. Each star could be seen as a time capsule, holding the story of our universe's past. We're not just observers of space, but also of time.
But what happens when we reverse the perspective? If an advanced civilization were looking at Earth from a galaxy that's say, a million light years away, they wouldn't see us. They'd see a million years into Earth's past.
Could there be civilizations out there, observing our planet and witnessing events that occurred long before humans ever existed? If so, they wouldn't know about our existence, just as we might be looking at distant stars whose planets host civilizations that arose after the light we see departed.
Could we travel fast enough, out into space, and see into the past? Could we one day actually observers crimes that had taken place in the past? Solve mysteries?
Perceptions and Reality: How Much of the Universe Are We Really Experiencing?
Do you ever wonder about the nature of 'reality'? I mean, we perceive the world around us through our senses - sight, sound, touch, taste, smell - and our brain interprets these signals to form our experience of reality. But what if our senses are limited and can only perceive a tiny sliver of what's truly out there?
Consider this - our eyes can only detect a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. There's so much happening outside of the visible light that we simply cannot see. Similar limitations apply to our other senses as well. So how much of the universe are we really experiencing?
Furthermore, our brains not only interpret sensory data but also filter and process it based on our past experiences, beliefs, and even our mood at a given moment. Therefore, each person's experience of reality could be significantly different.
Now, what if there are other senses or ways of perceiving reality that we haven't evolved to experience yet? What aspects of the universe might be hidden from our perception, just waiting for us to discover?
How often do you brush your teeth?
How often do you brush your teeth? Sure, we’ve all been told the ‘twice-a-day’ , but how many of us strictly follow it?
Are there any cultures out there with alternative practices that still maintain good oral health?
I’m intrigued to hear your brushing habits, thoughts on this, and any interesting findings you’ve stumbled upon.
Unveiling Sleep Paralysis: A Covert Psychotronic Control Mechanism?
Greetings fellow researchers of truth,
I have been diving into the peculiar phenomenon known as sleep paralysis, an intriguing state of consciousness marked by an inability to move or speak during the transition between sleep and wakefulness. This frightening event has been brushed off by the medical community as simply a "sleep disorder," but could there be a more sinister, concealed reality we're not privy to?
Traditional explanation of sleep paralysis revolves around the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycle, the stage in which most dreaming occurs. Scientific consensus posits that an "error" in transitioning between this cycle and wakefulness leads to sleep paralysis. But, could this "error" be an engineered one?
The possibility of psychotronic manipulation during these vulnerable states cannot be ignored. Psychotronics, an umbrella term for technologies that interface directly with the human mind, have been in research since the mid-20th century. DARPA's alleged Project Pandora, or the Soviet Union's exploration into psychotronic weaponry, are testament to this interest. While these projects' existence is contested, we have credible reasons to think that this technology has significantly advanced, covertly.
Could sleep paralysis be an inadvertent byproduct of these psychotronic control attempts? The symptoms align intriguingly well. The reported feelings of pressure on the chest, the vivid hallucinations, the terrifying sensation of a presence – all these could plausibly be attributed to an external force meddling with our REM sleep, causing our conscious mind to partially awaken and perceive this manipulation.
Additionally, many sleep paralysis sufferers report increased occurrences during periods of stress or drastic changes in sleep schedule. Is it possible that these conditions make our brainwaves more susceptible to this psychotronic influence?
While the scientific community dismisses sleep paralysis as a harmless, albeit terrifying, anomaly of the sleep cycle, we should not overlook the potential implications. Could these sleep disturbances be early warnings of a larger, clandestine operation aiming to control or influence human behavior?
The world is rapidly progressing in neuroscience and technological innovation. It's prudent for us to question how these advancements are being employed. In the age of mass surveillance, psychological warfare, and AI domination, sleep paralysis could be another piece in the grand puzzle of mind control mechanisms.
Keep questioning, keep exploring. There are truths yet to be uncovered.
Update and Actions Taken by LemmyUnchained.net regarding Recent Security Incident
Dear LemmyUnchained.net Community,
I'm reaching out to provide an important update about a recent security incident. Please be assured that our instance was not directly targeted, but it's crucial that everyone is informed and understands what happened.
While many of us were offline, a vulnerability was discovered and exploited on the lemmy platform. This led to the leak of JWT cookies from several users, including at least one admin, allowing the perpetrators to alter site settings and post misleading announcements. While it appears our instance was not involved in the leak, this was a vulnerability that could have effected any instance.
However, the dedicated developer team, as well as a huge number of volunteers in the community, quickly sprung into action. Here's a brief summary of their swift response:
-
They identified and patched the vulnerability.
-
All comments and private messages containing the exploit were immediately deleted.
-
The effected instanced rotated the JWT secret, which invalidated all existing cookies.
Please note, we're not providing details of the vulnerability at this time. This is to prevent any issues for those who may still be unaware and potentially vulnerable.
Lemmyunchained wants to extend a heartfelt thanks to all those who stepped in to assist.
In response to this incident, we've taken several additional security measures, including the removal of certain custom data from our databases, the replacement of content containing the exploit, and the rotation of our JWT secret. Due to these changes, you may find you've been logged out and will need to sign back in.
However, for the sake of security, we're not providing specific details about these measures at this time.
On a positive note, while our site was offline, we upgraded from version 18.0 to version 18.1.
Again, I apologize for the sudden offline period, and want to reassure you that it was necessary for the safety and security of our community. We deeply appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Here's to moving forward together, stronger and safer.
Best regards, LU
lemmyunchained will go offline whilst the lemmy wide hack situation develops
lemmyunchained will go offline whilst the hack situation develops.
no sign of any compromise here as of yet.
Hopefully wont take long to push a fix.

5 Curiously Obscured Locations on Google Maps
Google Maps is undoubtedly a marvel of modern technology, granting its users the ability to explore nearly every corner of the globe in just a few clicks. However, not all places are readily visible on this platform. There are certain spots that have been deliberately blurred or hidden, raising an air of mystery around them. Here are five such enigmatic locales...
1. An Oddity in the Siberian Wilderness, Russia
The expansive forests of Northern Russia, renowned for their strange and inexplicable phenomena, are ordinarily not a common subject for Google Maps viewers. However, there's an anomaly that can't be overlooked - an area deep within the Siberian wilderness that seems to have been artificially modified. Upon closer examination, it's clear that the geographical features are mismatched, as if borrowed from a different region. What could be the reason behind this digital camouflage?
2. Enigma at Junction Ranch, CA
Located in California's Mohave Desert, Junction Ranch is home to an unexplained airstrip. Some speculate it to be part of the China Lake proving grounds, a well-known air force drone testing site. The mystery doesn't stop there, though. On Google Maps, certain sections of the base appear to be deliberately scratched out, revealing only fragments of the whole picture. What could be the hidden truth behind these digital alterations?
3. The Mystery of Sandy Island
Sandy Island, a place first charted by Captain Cook in the late 18th century during his Australian expeditions, has a peculiar presence on Google Maps. Despite being a familiar landmark for over two centuries, the region where it's believed to be located is inexplicably blurred on the map. What could be the secret behind this incongruity?
4. Thule Air Base Enigma, Greenland
During the heights of the Cold War, Thule Air Base in Greenland was a pivotal strategic location, witnessing B-52 bombers carrying nuclear payloads on a routine basis as a counter-measure against potential Soviet aggression. In 1968, a catastrophic accident occurred, leading to a nuclear weapon crash that allegedly released substantial amounts of radiation. This crash site remains obscured on Google Maps to this day.
5. The Blacked-out Peak of Kangtega, Nepal
Located in the majestic Himalayas, Kangtega stands as an enigma on Google Maps. The entire area is blanketed in digital darkness, spurring theories ranging from secret military installations to extraterrestrial activities. Unless one is willing to endure the grueling 22,000-foot ascent, the reality behind this peculiar blackout may forever remain a mystery.
These unexplained anomalies truly spark curiosity. Is Google Maps collaborating with some secretive entities to keep these sites hidden, or could there be an entirely different explanation?
What are people’s thoughts on Threads?
I anticipate that we'll soon need to determine whether federating with threads aligns with the needs of our little instance.
From my perspective, I've yet to encounter a persuasive argument against doing so, particularly considering the straightforward process of defederation.
But I’m open to being educated on this matter.
When spams, Scams, etc., are reported from a different instance, is the users instance notified and the community instance notified?
When I hit report, I just get a notification on my own instance to action. Wondering if reports go beyond that, and notify the community, and the user instance?
Could Ben and Jerry’s go down like Bud light, or is their ice cream too darn delicious?
It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?
Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?
Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.

Shower Sitters, Are You Out There?
I’m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (That’s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)
This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though I’m sure it’s not the most hygienic.
Over the years, it's evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, I’m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)
I'm curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started? !
A Question On Human Origins: Are We Prisoners on Our Own Planet?
Based on the comments of another community member here, I've been recently drawn into a compelling hypothesis that radically opposes our textbook understanding of human origin and evolution. This traces its origin back to the intriguing work of environmentalist Ellis Silver, specifically his book, "Humans are not from Earth."
In his groundbreaking work, Silver casts humanity in an unusual light, suggesting that we are not the native inhabitants of Earth we believe ourselves to be. Instead, he proposes that we are descendants of a distant extraterrestrial civilization that was banished to this planet, transforming Earth into a form of cosmic Alcatraz.
Silver's hypothesis relies heavily on several unique quirks and ailments that are surprisingly prevalent in humans. These peculiarities have led him to question whether we are indeed as 'native' to this planet as we assume. Here are some of the crucial points he raises:
1. Chronic Backaches: One of Silver's arguments points to the widespread issue of backaches in humans, which he attributes to our upright posture in an environment with a gravitational pull that could be higher than where we originally evolved. He hypothesizes that our skeletal structure might have adapted to a lower gravity environment, leading to various back-related issues when confronted with Earth's stronger gravitational pull.
2. Sun Sensitivity: He also comments on the human susceptibility to sunburn, highlighting how our eyes are less adapted to bright light compared to other species. This could imply that we may have originated from a planet with a dimmer sun.
3. Chronic Illnesses: Silver notes the high prevalence of chronic disease among humans compared to other animals. He speculates that this could indicate our biology is not fully adapted to this environment, hinting at an extraterrestrial origin.
4. Discomfort with Natural Foods: Silver remarks on our apparent need for extensively processed and cooked foods, which is unlike any other species on Earth. This, he argues, might be another sign of our 'alien' nature.
These are intriguing points, and while the mainstream scientific community has not embraced Silver's hypothesis, it's interesting to explore.
Furthermore, Silver's idea is not the only hypothesis that suggests an 'alien' origin for humanity. The author Zecharia Sitchin proposed based on his interpretations of ancient Sumerian texts, that humans might be a genetically engineered species. Created by the Anunnaki, a supposed race of extraterrestrials, to work as slaves.
Silver's hypothesis, while challenging the scientific consensus, forces us to confront some existential questions. If Earth is indeed a cosmic penal colony, who are our wardens? Could an advanced civilization be observing our progress from a distance? Is our relentless drive towards space exploration a manifestation of our innate desire to return home?
It's essential to remember that our understanding of the universe is continually evolving. What we regard as outlandish speculation today could be the accepted truth of tomorrow. So, share your thoughts. Even if we do not find answers, the questions we ask might bring us closer to understanding our place in this vast cosmic arena.
Induced Dream States: Steering the Conscious Mind Through Time?
Has anyone here ever delved into the world of induced dream states? I'm not just talking about the common dreams we have every night, but also the lucid dreams and states achieved through meditation or even sensory deprivation.
It's fascinating to consider how these practices can offer a degree of control over our dream states, almost like directing our own personal movie. But here's my thought: what if these induced dream states allow our consciousness to traverse through time in more meaningful and profound ways?
Picture this: while in a typical dream state, our minds can take us on journeys into past memories, potential future scenarios, and entirely invented realities. It's almost as if we're unchained from linear time. But in induced dream states, we might have a say in directing these journeys.
Consider lucid dreaming, where we become aware within the dream state and can potentially control the narrative of the dream. Could this be a form of mental time travel where we're not just passengers, but pilots?
Moreover, practices like meditation often involve focusing on the present moment, yet they can also lead to experiences outside of conventional time perception. Sensory deprivation, on the other hand, can lead to profound states of introspection and the sensation of timelessness.
Could it be possible that our conscious mind, when given the reins, takes us on explorations through the temporal dimension in ways we don't yet fully understand? Makes me wonder if our mind is a time machine of sorts, and we just need to learn how to navigate it.
What are your thoughts? Have you experienced any induced dream states?
As Lemmy grows, and instances start taking donations, I’d love to see an open book approach to spending.
First off, let me start by saying I'm a big proponent of donations as a means of supporting platforms like Lemmy, and their hosts. This approach, when carried out in the spirit of transparency and community engagement, can do wonders for the growth and sustainability.
Hosting an instance myself, I’m fully aware of the costs associated with running servers, handling traffic, and providing the best possible experience for users. I am Lucky that im in a position where right now I am able to wear that coat, but I am more than willing to financially support other instances where I find value (and I have), and I have no doubt many of you feel the same way. But while we're on this topic, I think it's important to talk about financial transparency.
As users, we entrust these platforms with our time, our discussions, and in the case of donations, our hard-earned money. I believe it's fair to ask for a little insight into how our contributions are being used. What proportion goes towards server costs, maintenance, development,staffing, or perhaps even community projects?
My hope is for Lemmy instances to set a precedent by adopting an 'open book' policy when it comes to spending. It would be a great step towards fostering trust and engagement in our community.
There are plenty of platforms out there which handle donations, but I wonder if there's one that already facilitates such transparency? If not, I believe it would be a worthy endeavor to find or create one that does.
Would you appreciate more transparency on how donations are spent? And do you know of any donation platforms that encourage this level of openness? Your feedback is always appreciated, as at some point, I may need to do the same.
Will our conscious experience inevitably recur in the universe's infinite timeline?
I continuously grapple with this intricate web of thought that intertwines infinity, atomic structure, and consciousness. It's predicated on the assumption that if time truly is infinite, then there isn't just a probability, but an inevitability, that all the matter in the universe will align exactly as they are now.
(I posted this over at c/stonerthoughts, where it will inevitably die without a single interaction, but this is an ongoing pervasive thought I have, and i just wanted to put it out there for more eyes to see.)
This possibility stems from the Poincaré recurrence theorem, a principle in mathematics and physics which suggests that certain systems will, given a sufficiently long but finite time, return to a state almost identical to their initial state. Now, if we consider the universe to be such a system, it implies that given infinite time, every atomic configuration that has ever occurred will inevitably reoccur.
Now, let's venture deeper. If our consciousness is an emergent property of a specific atomic arrangement, then the recurrence of that atomic arrangement implies the recurrence of that conscious experience. Hence, if we're bound to this specific arrangement of matter, and time is infinite, are we not then destined to relive this conscious experience an infinite number of times?
The implications are staggering. It suggests a form of cosmic reincarnation, a cyclic existence governed not by spiritual dogma but by the immutable laws of the universe.
My next step is trying to figure out how this concept could integrate with the theory of an afterlife. Also the infinite nature of the individuals conscience, being the observer and therefore the centre of their own universe.
What's your take on this perspective? How does it change your understanding of consciousness, existence, and our role within this infinite cosmic dance?
