Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.

I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.

  • PSA: open source security considerations in the era of LLMs

    Jump

  • Many people would say the same thing about the admins of various different Lemmy instances. In the end admins can do whatever they want on their own instance, thats how the Fediverse works. Whats important is that they can only do these things on their own site. So if you dont like it, just block and move on.

  • PSA: open source security considerations in the era of LLMs

    Jump

  • Responsible disclosure is still important because it takes the developer time to develop, validate and release a securit fix. Keep in mind that open source projects like Piefed, Lemmy and others are developed by volunteers in their free time. So it is irresponsible to publish security problems without any private warning. For all the infighting that is happening, we need to remember that our enemy is Reddit, and not anyone on the Fediverse.

  • DB0 seems to use the normal lemmy-ui without any changes. Though I dont have an account there to test it. Best if you contact the admins on db0 to ask about this.

  • Why do I still see my posts after they are deleted?

    Jump

  • FYI the text of deleted posts is automatically wiped after 30 days.

  • Where do you see the URL constantly updating while typing? Because I cant reproduce that when writing a comment. Is that directly on lemmy.dbzer0.com or are you using a different frontend? And which OS/browser are you using?

  • For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative?

    Jump

  • I asked @dessalines@lemmy.ml about this as he is more familiar with the ranking algos:

    Maybe not renaming active, but possibly renaming hot... but IMO they're fine. Its just different from reddit, and more like the hackernews algorithm: join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html#hacker-news . It's more new-focused to prevent the main problem of reddits which is rewarding first posts / comments, regardless of their quality

  • A more private way to distribute votes

    Jump

  • If your instance invents fake users for voting, that is very easy to spot if you view the profile and its all empty. So you need to add a profile picture, bio and some posts as well. But if the names and avatars are all similar, or the posts are obviously LLM generated, its still quite easy to spot manipulation. Or if the modlog for that user has entries for vote manipulation. On the other hand if there is only the total number of votes, there is no way at all to see if they are legit.

    I think a much better option for vote privacy is what Piefed tried using "Local-only votes". So privacy-conscious users can choose that their votes are not federated, and then only the local admin can see them. This could be a simple boolean user setting, or could be more granular to allow/disallow vote federation with specific instances.

  • Do you think it would make sense renaming Active to Hot and vice versa?

  • US to cut troop levels in Germany by 5,000 amid Trump spat with Merz

  • Securing major industrial hubs, in case Germany ever decides to go against US interests.

  • Users Find Their Real Names Are Being Googled in Israel After Using Verification Software "Au10tix"

    Jump

  • Right and also many western police/military receive training from (former) IDF soldiers. Seems like Israel is the blueprint for the future of our countries.

  • Theoretically, is it Friday somewhere?

    Jump

  • In your imagination it can always be Friday! Don't be one of those people who live in "real life" because it's quite boring.

    Jump

  • Why is it always Israel? You would think that this would be done somewhere in the US or UK, but no.

  • What's your favorite film and why?

    Jump

  • Oh yes, I need to rewatch this one!

  • Ibis 0.3.2 - Wikipedia Import, UI Translation and more

    Jump

  • MediaWiki is a much bigger project, with probably dozens of developers working on it full-time. It has a lot more features. Ibis on the other hand is only a small project which I'm developing on the side. If Wikipedia wanted to federate, the best option would be adding that logic directly into MediaWiki.

  • Ibis 0.3.2 - Wikipedia Import, UI Translation and more

    Jump

  • Oops youre right, I closed registrations a while ago as I wasnt working on Ibis and there were too many spam accounts. Opened it for now, later I need to add something like Lemmy's registration application.

  • New EU age verification app hack speedrun record

    Jump

  • Highly qualified people are probably not interested in working for the government. Or maybe this was outsourced to some cheap private company, who knows.

  • Mastodon will get end-to-end encryption for private messages thanks to Sovereign Tech Agency

    Jump

  • Yes that is what I mean, admins can only see private messages that their own local users are either sending or receiving. Not from users on other instances.

    I agree that privacy is important, but most admins probably couldnt care less what their users are writing in private messages. And there is a tradeoff between implementing end-to-end encryption, or implementing other features that may be more important.
