What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com" in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Yeah, letsencrypt doesn't do this for example. They do ask for an email address, but that's just for expiry notices.

They do require you control the domain, and run it on the server the DNS record points to. When using certbot at least.

Reporters Without Borders sues X in c/technology@lemmy.world

Ok maybe a very stupid question but

The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced

Isn't that gramatically incorrect? Shouldn't it be "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced on Thursday"?

I see this kind of writing a lot in news articles so surely it's not actually wrong, but that's not how I was taught English writing.

Sounds when I press certain buttons in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social
[–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah I did, and as far as I could tell all of the shortcuts with alt also include some extra modifier.

It's definitely a KDE sound though, it's the default system bell sound.

I don't see a shortcut for sticky keys in the keyboard settings, that's probably not it. Also haven't noticed any different behaviour after the sound plays.

Sounds when I press certain buttons (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

So recently, when I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3, which involves a lot of pressing alt, a system sound keeps playing every once in a while. I think it has something to do with alt+wasd or alt+mouse buttons or something, but I can't figure out what it is.

Anyone know what this could be?

In the Netherlands you're just not allowed to participate in traffic while drunk, so technically you're not even allowed to bike. No one gives a shit about that one though.

On grapheneos it's a setting, 18 hours by default I believe, but adjustable from 10 minutes to 72 hours.

Yeah, but it's more than 0 pennies each.

Google Pixel Tablet 3 might be getting a massive upgrade for power users in c/android@lemdro.id

Wait what? There isn't even a pixel tablet 2 yet, why are they talking about a third

App sandboxing/cloning solutions for multiple accounts (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I'm looking for a good solution to clone/sandbox an app, so I can use it with multiple accounts.

I recently got a separate phone number, and also a whatsapp account, for work-related stuff. Turns out whatsapp's own account switching thing is very unreliable and often doesn't deliver any notifications for the "inactive" account.

I remember using Island a long time ago, but unfortunately that one hasn't been updated in 3 years. I'm using parallel space right now, which at least delivers my notifications, but often super late and includes ads, which also isn't ideal.

Are there any good cloning solutions left, preferably with decently quick notifications? (open source would also be a big plus ofc)

Rooting and locking boot loader in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah iirc WhatsApp does show a warning when you first set it up with an unlocked bootloader, but you can just continue anyway.

Yeah it is possible, GrapheneOS flashes their own verified boot key when you install it. This also means you have to reset these keys if you want to go back to stock.

I'm not sure why lineageos doesn't do this, might just be a lot of work for all the devices they support. GrapheneOS only has to support the last couple of pixels after all.

Dependabot alternatives for non-github hosts? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm really bad at keeping my dependencies up-to-date manually, so dependabot was great for me. I don't use github anymore though, and I haven't really been able to find a good alternative.

I found Snyk, which seems to do that, but they only allow logging in with 3rd party providers which I'm not a big fan of.

Edit: seems like Snyk also only supports a few git hosts, and Codeberg isn't one of them.

Occasional slow loading and gateway timeouts (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

The past few days I've noticed occasionally dbzer0 loads extremely slowly, or even hits a gateway timeout.

Is it just me or is the instance having some trouble keeping up?

Seems like it's only the front-end that has trouble loading, as I could still navigate next pages just fine while a different tab was busy timing out on load.

Also another thing I noticed is sometimes while it's still loading, the title of the page will be about a different post altogether. Not sure if that's related, sounds like just a caching issue to me.
