Sharpening things

I don't understand why people are grasping so desperately onto reddit. This platform is young but already superior in most ways to reddit.

Also, I firmly believe that federation is the perfect environment for something like reddit and this is what we should have gotten in the first place instead of what reddit became.

I get to be that guy! I'm so excited!

In power strips, the lights are (in the overwhelming majority of cases) actually a neon bulb! They're cheaper for that specific purpose because they can be powered directly off of the mains power with a single resistor.

Your point is entirely valid and I bear the same cross, this is just a fun fact you can use to impress colleagues, strangers, and potential lovers, dazzling them with your deep esoteric knowledge of and passion for illuminators in power strips.

If what you need to accomplish can be achieved via shell commands, it would be hard to beat OliveTin for this use case.

I don't believe FMHY was affected. For me, the timeline went:

  1. I found out about the hack pretty much immediately when it happened
  2. I immediately hopped into the Lemmy dev matrix channels to get an idea of what was going on
  3. I crossposted the news of the hack in !technology@lemmy.fmhy.ml about 20 or 30 minutes after it happened
  4. In the dev channels, right around when I made the post, a couple of users were able to pin down the exact vulnerability and which server the user that perpetrated it originated from. A user (that I won't name) sent test instructions (that were quickly deleted and I will not share on the off chance that there are servers that don't know about the vuln and haven't patched or mitigated) that verified the vulnerability.
  5. A pull request for the fix was submitted to github (and, from a cursory look at the PR, it closes the hole that was used for the hack solidly) while, simultaneously, a couple of other devs stated that 0.18.1 is not affected by the vulnerability (which I have not taken the time to verify since they've already PRed a patch)

For those reasons, I don't think FMHY was ever at risk because of how quickly it was updated to 0.18.1 coupled with the fact that I don't think custom emojis are a thing on here. It's very possible that I am wrong about that because I'm an idiot but I don't believe there's anything to worry about.
