One toke is over the line? Sweet Jesus!

Outlook.com, duh!

It’s a link to a comment on this subject that says:

Ok, so to explain. This DID happen,literally 500m from my home :) the system was designed to store reg plate numbers and later turned to a speed camera. The stunt was done by a few students of the Technical University, it did bring the whole db down. They tried to revive it, but ultimately the boards have been dead for the past 5 years or so. Mind that this hack was performed around 7 or 8 years ago:) I can provide pics of the dead board now and exact coordinates too:)

And then later in the replies they do give the coordinates of the camera billboard thing they broke, and someone posts a Google Maps screenshot of the board at the coordinates they gave that just looks like a little digital billboard that’s turned off and is just black, and the OP confirms that it is the board they mentioned.

Hope that all makes sense; I’ve got a lot brain fog/stress brain and stuff and it felt like too much to screenshot lol

Yes! This blog post is fantastic. I read your article through this archive link (since my phone is being finicky with the direct site) and loved it and I’m glad you wrote it! You totally nailed it on every point and voiced a lot of things I’ve noticed and concerns I’ve had.
On the topic of non-anonymous reports: I’ve definitely already found myself hesitating or declining to make reports I feel should be made purely because they’re not anonymous. Sometimes because the people I want to report are admins. I’ve already had weird situations of people following me around to other posts because they disagree with me and I don’t want to add to that type of thing. Although I can understand that there are some potential upsides to being able to tell who is making reports, like to prevent misuse or spam… I dunno.

Thanks a lot for sharing it with us here! and thank you for the warning at the top about mentioning CSAM - and for calling it CSAM and not the other, worse, seemingly more prevelent term. I appreciate it and I appreciate you! :)

If by any chance there’s any other information I can give you about my setup that may help you, or anything you’d like me to try or test, please feel free to let me know and I’d be happy to! :)

I’m still having the same issue with that link, as well, for whatever reason. If I go to jewy.blog, I see a regular webpage that shows properly and lists a link with the same title. When I click that link, it gives me the same .bin file. I’m on Android and tried Chrome, Firefox, and Firefox Focus.

*Editing to add that I tried viewing it through archive.org and it shows up properly that way. Weird!

Here is the link for anyone who may want it: https://web.archive.org/web/20240305150657/https://jewy.blog/2024/03/04/my-love-hate-relationship-with-lemmy/

Same here. Firefox offers a download of the .bin file, Chrome just displays a page with the code that I’m guessing is in the file. I’m glad it wasn’t just me!

Here’s the hover text for this one:

Learning arcane bullshit from the 80s can break your computer, but if you’re willing to wade through arcane bullshit from programmers in the 90s and 2000s, you can break everyone else’s computers, too.

Thank you! I had no idea what this was talking about but was curious, so this is perfect. I appreciate it!

Agreed, I took it the same exact way. I’m not sure how we were supposed to tell otherwise. Maybe we were supposed to read their mind? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That was a different person

Ooh, those all look so fun! Thanks for the links! :)

Syncthing is another good option. I’ve never used NextCloud, though, so I’m not sure which is better.

There’s also Connect for Lemmy on Android that was just released on the Play store. I just found out about it from this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/831266

I like it so far!
