I semi-often hear people complain about Lemmy’s moderation tools. It’s happened enough that I think it’s a sign that moderation tools need improvement. Some ideas I have so far:...
I am a proud mod of !casualconversation and a while back me and the other mods were consulted by a site admin who asked why the reports we were getting weren’t being answered. We checked time and time again and did not see what she was talking about and brought this up a few times. Finally she looked into it and learned the realization from the people above her that reports made by users of one instance have a susceptibility of being invisible to mods of burrows (the Lemmy equivalent term for subreddit) who signed up under another instance. So we were all encouraged to make alternate accounts to help receive reports. This is why I made the secondary account @KaneLivesInDeath which was indirectly named after the Command and Conquer villain Kane (cuz why not).
No pressure or judgment upon admins, but if it’s at all possible to bridge the instance reporting gaps, that would be amazing. Please and thank you.

I think there’s less risk of name grabbing with so many instances, and the admins understand the issue and will likely step in if there’s a problem. It happened a few times during the migration and it got fixed after

It is becoming near impossible to find relevant information from search engines. Duckduckgo, SearXNG, Bing, Google, and so many more mainstream engines have a significantly high noise to signal ratio, and it is getting worse....
People have spare pc’s or laptops they can sacrifice as a SearxNG instance. I too have a homelab & i have not paid a single penny to have a hobby SearxNG instance on my old hackbook pro that I share with friends.
I feel like, the internet is more than just paying your way for services. It’s about creating and sharing services and decentralization. If Kagi takes off then we have another evil Google that wants to profit at the cost of users, but its name is Kagi. It might be an impractical answer, and it does take some work to create a better internet. End of philosophical rant about the true spirit of the internet

Umm. No. Sorry gunna pull my union card on this one since this is my Industry and while I am not an armorer or a props person I am emeshed in their understanding of property on a set as an On set dresser.
There is a legal duty of care held by everyone who handles a prop weapon. Furthermore there is a duty of care held by Producers on a show. Baldwin was not just an actor, he was a producer on Rust which means he had hiring and firing power.
Regularly this is how prop weapon safety works.
Prop weapons are only handled by an armorer who must maintain a full supervision of the weapon. It can never be used with live ammunition.
Loading can only ever take place by the props person (non union exception) or a designated armorer who must have an up to date licence.
Any mishandling of the weapon up to this stage leaves the armourer open to criminal liability. If someone steps in to this process at this stage they might take the lions share of liability. If an actor or someone who is not the props person charged with care of the weapon grabs it for instance without a hand off.
During the hand off of the weapon to an actor the props person does a last physical check of all the rounds in the weapon in sight of the actor. IF an actor accepts a weapon without doing this check then they are considered criminally negligent for any harm done with the weapon that would have been reasonably negated by this step. If the actor uses the weapon in a way that is unsafe after this check all liability is shoulded by the actor.
Following the weapon that killed on Rust it was used with live ammunition to shoot cans and abandoned on a cart. This makes the props person negligent by film safety practice. It was picked up by the 1st Assistant Director whom was not entitled to handle the weapon AT ALL which transfers some criminal negligence to him. The 1st AD handed the weapon to Baldwin and claimed it was a safe weapon WITHOUT performing the check. Anyone who saw this trade off on the set should have set off general alarm. But they didn’t. This could have had to do with power imbalances on set. You generally do not tell a Producer that they are doing something wrong unless you are either willing to trust the producer to be reasonable or baring that, are willing to lose your job. Wrongful termination suits are nigh nonexistent in film because chasing one might blacklist you from other productions.
The 1st AD is the main safety officer on set and Baldwin as an experienced actor would have been briefed on weapon safety protocols many times before. Having the 1st AD just hand you a weapon on set EVEN one that is an inert rubber replica would be an instant firing offence for the AD. Accepting the weapon without insisting on a check leaves the liability on the actor. They might have a lesser share depending on how experienced they might be. If they were ignorant of the protocol at the time then the production team would take that share liability for not properly enforcing safety on the set.
Baldwin as a producer in the days leading up to the accident had shown signs of being negligent in other areas of production safety and the people hired into positions that were to enforce safety on set. People left the production citing the unsafe conditions in protest. He may not shoulder the full liability of criminal negligence but he ABSOLUTELY owns a chunk of it. Directors and Producers REGULARLY push the boundaries of crew safety when they think they can get away with it and the bigger the name the more likely these accidents are. Remembering WHY we have these safety protocols and the people injured or killed in the past is something that is well known in the industry. We remember those killed or permanently maimed by production negligence because there but for the grace of God go us. Everyone who has been in this industry more than a decade personally knows someone whose life was permanently impacted by a bigshot throwing their weight around because of the natural power imbalances on set. One of my Co-workers sustained a permanently debilitating brain injury last year for just this reason. You dice with some one else’s death you gotta pay up when you lose.

ive anabled a port forward on port 80 (TCP/UDP) to my server, but i still cant acess it. i know its unsafe to just open a port like that, this is temporary, just wanna see if it works. ill put a reverse proxt and https on it later
Absolutely do not expose your server on port 80. Http is unencrypted, you’d be sending your login credentials in plaintext across the open internet. That is Very Bad™. If you own a domain name, you can set up a letsencypt cert fairly easily for free. Then you could expose 443 and at least your traffic will be encrypted in transit. It won’t solve the other potential issues of exposing your instance like brute force or ddos attacks, but I’d consider it a bare minimum.
If you use a VPN like many others are suggesting it won’t matter as much because the unencrypted traffic never leaves your local network.
<p>Support for former president Donald Trump serves as a crucial intervening variable in the public’s rejection of scientific consensus on climate change and COVID-19 vaccination, according to new research published in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0293059"><em>PLOS One</em></a>. Analyzing responses from over a thousand participants, the study highlights how Trumpism transcends other demographic factors in influencing attitudes towards these key scientific issues.</p>
<p>The study builds on a wealth of previous research examining the social and political dimensions of science acceptance and rejection. Over the years, scientists have been concerned about the politicization of science, where beliefs about climate change and public health measures, such as vaccinations, seem influenced more by political leanings than scientific evidence.</p>
<p>This trend has been especially pronounced in the United States, where political affiliation has become a powerful predictor of one’s stance on scientific issues. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing climate crises, understanding these patterns has become more critical than ever.</p>
<p>“As an environmental sociologist, I’ve long been fascinated by human/environment interactions. One strand of my research explores the connections or disconnects between the reality and public perceptions of environmental problems,” said study author <a href="https://findscholars.unh.edu/display/lch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lawrence Hamilton</a>, a professor of sociology and senior fellow in the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.</p>
<p>“Science can be a messenger, as with observations about climate change or pandemics. But scientific messages also get filtered through public perceptions, and perhaps rejected if they seem to conflict with identity-based beliefs. Analyzing many surveys over the past fifteen years, I’ve learned that socio-political identity is often the elephant in the room, predicting people’s views on environment, science and so many other things. And the linkages between general identity and specific views are influenced externally by economic, media and partisan elites. It’s hard to do meaningful research without meeting these realities head on.</p>
<p>“Some decades back, clean air and water were consensus American values, and strong legislation could pass with bipartisan support. Sadly, that time has gone by; now opinions about environmental protection are nearly a proxy for political identity. Identity-based divisions are particularly acute regarding climate change and COVID-19. The rapid spread of politicized opposition to COVID mitigation in 2020 partly tracked statements by then-president Donald Trump. His influence on pandemic perceptions highlights another issue as well — the shifting content of socio-political identity, as familiar categories of party and ideology take on new meanings.”</p>
<p>For his study, Hamilton analyzed data from a survey conducted during the summer and early fall of 2021. Named the Polar, Environment, and Science survey (POLES 2021), it was designed to be nationally representative, encompassing a wide range of demographic indicators, including age, gender, race, education, and political party. The survey successfully garnered 1,134 valid completions.</p>
<p>Participants were asked about their views on climate change, COVID-19 vaccination, and former President Trump. The survey also included questions on various conspiracy theories. These seemingly unrelated conspiracy beliefs were included to assess a broader inclination towards rejecting established knowledge and allowed Hamilton to explore the broader landscape of science rejection beyond just politically charged topics.</p>
<p>As expected, conservatives, Republicans, white Americans, and evangelicals were significantly more likely to approve of Trump. Trump support was also higher among Republicans who predominantly associated with friends from the same political party. Additionally, individuals who believed in unpolitical conspiracy theories, such as the moon landing being faked or the Earth being flat, also tended to support Trump more strongly.</p>
<p>Central to the study’s findings was the pivotal role of support for Trump in shaping public attitudes towards science. Trump support acted as a significant predictor of science rejection, independently of ideology, race, or religion. This influence of Trumpism was evident in attitudes towards both climate change and COVID-19 vaccination. But Trumpism was not just an independent predictor of science rejection; it also enhanced the effects of other background factors on science rejection.</p><div class="addrop-wrap" data-id="64749"><p style="text-align: center;">

<p>“Trumpism exacerbates the problem of science rejection,” Hamilton told PsyPost. “Unfortunately, there are deadly consequences to having a large fraction of the US public dismiss expertise regarding hard realities such as climate change and COVID. Earlier studies have shown parallel divisions across many other fields — including the disproportionately conservative rejection of central propositions in biology, geology and astronomy; and conservatives’ lower trust in scientists regarding nuclear power, genetically modified organisms, environmental protection, renewable energy and forest management, as well as epidemiology and vaccination long before COVID.”</p>
<p>Notably, while being white or an evangelical Christian did not directly lead to science rejection, these identities contributed to such attitudes indirectly, through their association with Trump support. Conspiracy beliefs directly increased the likelihood of vaccine rejection. On the other hand, their effect on climate change rejection was more indirect, mainly exerted through the influence of Trumpism. In other words, those who endorsed conspiracy beliefs were more likely to support Trump, which in turn was associated with climate change rejection.</p>
<p>“There are differences in how individual characteristics such as age, gender, race, income, religion, education, ideology, political party and conspiracism affect climate and COVID views, but the common denominator of Trumpism is impressive,” Hamilton said. “A simple, seemingly nonpolitical conspiracism indicator — openness to flat Earth or Moon landing conspiracy beliefs — predicts Trump approval and to a lesser degree COVID vaccine rejection, but not climate change rejection.”</p>
<p>While these findings are insightful, there are some limitations. The data, being specific to the U.S. and collected during a particular period, might not fully capture the evolving dynamics of public opinion or the political contexts of other countries. The changing nature of phenomena such as climate change skepticism, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, and Trump support also suggests the need for continuous research to track these shifts.</p>
<p>“Every survey is a snapshot in time,” Hamilton explained. “The main data for this paper are from 2021, when Trump was out of power but still very much in view. A few years later, the conspiratorial aspects of Trumpism are perhaps even more salient. Where will he take his followers in the near future, and what might their movement become after Trump?”</p>
<p>“On newer surveys, conducted since this paper was written, I am seeing Trumpism-correlated science rejection across a range of seemingly unpoliticized topics, from aquaculture to rabies vaccination for dogs. It feels as if the political, conspiratorial arguments against climate scientists and epidemiologists ‘bleed over’ into attitudes on other domains that respondents really haven’t thought much about, and where political elites have said nothing. These trends hold importance for us all.”</p>
<p>The study, “<a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0293059" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trumpism, climate and COVID: Social bases of the new science rejection</a>“, was published January 10, 2024.</p>

This right here. As a member of the OpenNIC project, I used to run an open resolver and this required a lot of hands-on maintenance. Basically what happens is someone sends a very small packet requesting the lookup of something which returns a huge amount of data (like DNSSEC records). They can make thousands of these requests in a short period, attempting to flood out the target domain’s DNS servers and effectively take them offline, by using your open server as the attacker.
At the very least, you need to have strict rate-limiting controls on DNS lookups. And since the requests come in through UDP, they can spoof their IP address so you can’t simply block an attacker. When I ran into this issue, I wrote up scripts to monitor for a lot of requests to the same domain name and outright block those until the attack stopped. It wasn’t a great solution, but it did at least make sure my system wasn’t contributing to an attack.
Your best bet is to only respond to DNS requests for your own domain(s). If you really want an open resolver, think about limiting it by creating some sort of sign-up method (for instance, ddns servers use a specific URL to register the changing IP of known users), but still keep the rate-limiting in place.
I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).
