I replaced all my movies from x264 to x265 versions. Went to play a movie and it said it couldn't transcode the file. Looked into it and you have to pay to do hardware transcoding - my own fault for not testing a x265 file first haha.

Installed Jellyfin where transcoding using your own hardware is free and I haven't looked back.

Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap? in c/[email protected]

This is actually amazing. I've done a bit of editing as I play Pokémon Go which uses OSM for the background map. I got fed up of just looking at roads so I mapped in all the buildings, shops, parks etc near me.

This gamifies walking and exploring which I love!

A Proposed Massachusetts Law Would Ban the Sale of Cell Phone Location Data in c/[email protected]

I wonder if they would still be able to sell location data in aggregate?

I play Pokémon Go (yes that's still a thing) and Niantic recently made a deal that they don't sell individual location data which people have taken as they sell bulk location data instead (scrubbing data such as your name etc).

Can the app please be updated to include the sort options Top hour, Top 6 hours, and Top 12 hours?

Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next: (lemmy.one)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1299831 due to the text below:

If you were not forced to sign back in this morning, contact your instance admin to verify mitigations were completed on your instance.

I wasn't forced to sign back in.

Is everything under control Jonah?

Hi all,

If you're just now signing in for the first time in 12+ hours, you may just now be finding out that Lemmy World and other instances where hijacked. The hijackers had the full abilities of hijacked user, mod, and admin accounts. At this time, I am only aware of instance defacing and URL redirections to have been done by the hijackers.

If you were not forced to sign back in this morning, contact your instance admin to verify mitigations were completed on your instance.

How?

This occurred due to an XSS attack in the recently added custom emojis. Instance admins should follow the issue tracker on the LemmyNet GitHub, as well as the Matrix Chat. Post-Incident Activity is still on-going.

Currently, it is likely that just your session cookie was stolen, with instance admins being targeted specifically by checking for navAdmin, an HTML element only instance admins had. I do not believe this to affect users across instances, but I have yet to confirm this.

What happens next?

As I am not the developers or affected instance admins, I cannot make any guarantees. However, here is what you'll likely see:

  1. Post Incident investigation continues. This will include inspecting code, posts, websites, and more used by the hijackers. An official incident writeup may occur. You should expect the following from that report:
  • Exactly what happened, when.
  • The incident response that occurred from instance admins
  • Information that might have helped resolve the issue sooner
  • Any issues that prevented successful resolution
  • What should have been done differently by admins
  • What should be improved by developers
  • What can be used to identify the next attack
  • What tools are needed to identify that information

  1. A CVE is created. This is an official alert of the issue, and notifies security experts (and enthusiasts), even those not using lemmy, about the issue.

  2. A code security audit is done. This will likely just be casual reviews by technical lemmy users. However, I will be reaching out to the Mozilla Foundation and Cure53 as they recently did an audit of Mastodon. If there is interest in an external audit of lemmy and the costs are affordable, I'll look into crowdfunding this cost.

It would be more wouldn't it?

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn't have critical mass yet (and I'm not sure it will).

Also it would be good to implement one of those toast notifications "press back again to exit" that other apps have.

Subscribed community list order bug? (lemmy.one)
 

On the subscribed community list (swipe from the left side of the screen) the communities I'm subscribed to are sorted A>Z and then a>z as shown in the image, so they seem to be case sensitive.

A minor nitpick, but are the devs aware assuming this is not intended behaviour?
