Good thing that you can still self host it, post your favorite jitsi instances below for everyone to use.

I'll start with this one: https://calls.disroot.org/

You need to look under filter lists.

You can do this in any browser using uBlock Origin, just enable the built in Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN list in the Privacy category. (it's disabled by default)

Here it is if you wanna look at it: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/lan-block.txt (but no need to paste it into ublock, it's built in just disabled)

Mastodon thinks Lemmy’s privacy stinks. What say you? in c/[email protected]

One thing that mastodon does is proxying all the media from the federated servers, lemmy does not do this.. (yet)

For example on this comment page there are 9 domains trying to connect directly to me according to ublock origin. I suggest blocking all third party requests on your instance using ublock origins advanced mode because the website works fine without them, it might be mostly avatars?

Bug: custom tabs disabled but they still get used if I open cross-posted links (lemmy.ml)

Browsing this post in the app shows me links to hacker news, those still open in Firefox custom tabs thing despite that they are disabled in the jerboa settings.

Normal links open in my default browser as they should.

Edit: it happens to the hacker news links in this post as well!

Ps: unrelated feedback: the + button you use to submit posts should be something different. Like it should say submit.

Millions of Gigabyte Motherboards Were Sold With a Firmware Backdoor (www.wired.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.de/post/721048

"While Eclypsium says the hidden code is meant to be an innocuous tool to keep the motherboard’s firmware updated, researchers found that it’s implemented insecurely, potentially allowing the mechanism to be hijacked and used to install malware instead of Gigabyte’s intended program."

Lemmy apps for smartphones (github.com)
 

Links to a hopefully growing list of lemmy clients.

There is an official FOSS lemmy app for Android called Jerboa that I'm using to create this post and it seems to work pretty well but that's not all, there's an iOS app, some BBS looking thing and some libraries that interact with reddit..

Wonder how useful those will be once the api changes happen in July, maybe worth trying them while you can..

What app are you using? Any thoughts about how they work? Just the website seems on your phone seems way more usable then any official reddit anything which is nice.

Man, I can't find the submit post button..😅 Edit: i had to select a community first
