lemmy-like fediverse forum that lets you post things to your "profile"? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Mastodon or Pixelfed come to mind.

what are some must-have addons in your opinion? in c/firefox@lemmy.world
[–] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apart from the already mentioned uBlock etc, I like "Clippings", "Replace" and "Dark Background and Light Text"

Do you identify with your country of origin/ citizenship or with another subregion? Why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I am European (but currently living in Asia). I don't identify with my country of birth. However, I do feel connected to the Franco-Alemannic culture space that I grew up in. The languages, literature, arts and crafts, architecture, food, music etc. are way more important to me than the colour of my passport or the madhouse that is politics.

What is something non-standard that you take with you when you travel? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Amongst other things, I always carry some zip ties. They weigh nothing, yet come in handy in so many ways.

Scam links from Google? (lemmy.world)
 

Not sure, how long Google is at it, it may just be new to me, but today the wife googled for something, and she couldn't get there as the response was "can not connect". "Fix the internet NOW!", was my order.

Analysing the link on Google's page, it displayed the link as https://www.example.com/, but it actually goes to https://googleadservices.com/?blabla, which is blocked by our DNS, therefore the error.

Displaying one link, but going to another is misleading, lying, tactics of phishers and scammers, IMO.

Is this new, or is it just me, who never clicks on the first result of a Google search?

Lemmy.world is automatically logging me out after I login and press the refresh button. I have attached a video of this glitch to this post in c/support@lemmy.world
[–] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I had the same issue here. Maybe this helps you as a workaround?

I found a something similar issue here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2666

And that sees to be it. I could set the lemmy.world cookie to "lax" using a cookie manager extension. Now it seems to work, both with F5 and when I leave Firefox.

Thanks for the idea. All my browsers are Deb packages, no Snap/Flatpack/AppImage. I am still on Ubuntu for now, but I try to stay away from Snaps wherever I can due to slightly less-than-stellar experiences.

Ha! Thank you! Alexandrite works normally. Not my taste, though. 😀

Is there anything I can do now, or will I have to work with Alexandrite until the normal ui fixes itself somehow?

Thanks bunches for putting up with me. 👍
I have tried all privacy settings, no change. Where can I change the ui, please; it's not in my account settings?

And Lemmy is the only site that does this. I do not have this issue with any other site, including other Fediverse sites like Mastodon or Pixelfed.

Thanks a lot!

It happens on Firefox (130), Vivaldi and a pretty virgin Chromium. Firefox is a little worse, in that if I press F5 to just reload a page, I am logged out again, no matter the security setting. This does not happen on the other browsers. I don't really know what to look for in the console; it shows errors in fonts, things like 'line-height' and such, nothing that would give me a hint. However, I am not a web-developer and could easily overlook something.

Since a few weeks ago, Lemmy.world will always log me out when I leave it, and I cannot find a "stay logged-in" tick-box anywhere in the settings. Is this a bug or a feature or perhaps a "me-problem"?

Happens with Firefox and Vivaldi on Linux, if that matters. Emptying cache/cookies did not help. Mobile app is fine.

Thanks for any hint!

ETA, thanks to @Rooki@lemmy.world, there is a temporary workaround to this:

I could set the lemmy.world cookie to “lax” using a cookie manager extension. Now it seems to work, both with F5 and when I leave Firefox.

Haha, I am a native German speaker, and I had a hard time following them without looking at the subtitles. But then, grammar is a fickle bitch in all languages.

Wget or Curl on unrooted Android? (lemmy.world)
 

I would like to use wget or curl on Android, mostly to test my webserver against some rules that I set.

I do have Termux on my tablet, but it will no longer install new packages, seems to be abandoned, maybe?

Is there an app/way to have one or both of these commands working on Android (13) without root? My GoogleFoo is failing me.

Thanks for any hint.

Google-Amazon connection? (lemmy.world)
 

Today I was watching a few YouTube videos about groundwork with horses. First time I did that. Yes, I was logged in.

Later today, I hopped on Amazon to track one of my packages. And in my suggestions, there were horse grooming kits, halters and the like, even though I had never before looked for things like these on there.

My mail addresses are different on the two places, and so are, of course, my passwords. I am on Linux with Firefox, uBlock etc. So this must be an incredible coincidence, a miracle, mind-reading, or maybe witchcraft?

I wonder what I could tweak to make things like this happen less in future. I am thinking of adding a Pi-hole to my router, yet I am no longer so sure, if it would help?

Itchy Boots - Things take a turn for the worst in Liberia (youtu.be)
 

Itchy Boots is kind of the mother of all overlanders. She has been travelling the world by motorcycle for 6 or 7 years now. In this episode, she gets stuck in the mud of Liberia.

Travelling around the world by motorcycle was my big yet unrealisable dream, when I was young. So, this lady is living my dream, and I thoroughly enjoy watching her doing it.
