Wait are you saying that with the example your provided your password for Lemmy would be catlemmy-Dog5? Because that's a terrible system.

That's the one I use as well and it gets rid of the sign in popup without breaking or blocking other Google sites.

In Firefox there's an option to copy links without site tracking. Kinda wish it was the default behaviour.

Song.link is the simplest I know of and seems to work pretty well. Just go to song.link/YOUR_TRACK_URL. For example

https://song.link/https://music.apple.com/album/never-gonna-give-you-up-2022-remaster/1624945511?i=1624945512

will take you to this page https://song.link/i/1624945512 with links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube and what not.

Bonus tip: if you're on macOS and use Velja there's an option to automatically convert all copied music links to songlink.

That's pretty much the same size as an iPhone 15 Pro. Not even close to the size of the mini.

Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There's no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.

Porkbun is awesome. A few months ago I transferred most of my domains from Namecheap to Porkbun and I’ll be transferring the rest soon.

Namecheap are still in my top 3 after Porkbun and Cloudflare though.

I really doubt an automated database dump is going to hurt them a whole lot. However, if you're looking to eliminate everything you've ever posted (and I mean everything, not just the few recent posts you see on your profile), redact.dev (possibly others too) can use that zip to find all your posts and comments and edit/delete them.

Now I'm not saying you should delete your data. I know many people believe that leaving it there benefits humanity as a whole or whatever, but if you are going to do it that's the only effective way.

The macOS firewall can only block incoming connections. If you want to block outgoing too you need something like LittleSnitch or LuLu.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten (or maybe just weren't around at the time) but there were tons of duplicate communities on reddit during the first years too. Over time their mods either agreed to close one and point everyone to the other or the less active ones faded away naturally.

One problematic scenario I can envision with that approach on Lemmy however is the mods of news@lemmysite1 and news@lemmysite2 agreeing to keep the first one alive, but then after a while lemmysite1 closes for whatever reason. So we're left with news@lemmysite2 which is a ghost town. Probably not a big deal for a news community, but for something with a lot of info on a particular topic it's not really ideal.
