Android's Find My Device network will get a huge upgrade soon – here's how it'll work by IcerOut in c/android@lemmy.world

Interesting.
For me the Google Find My Phone couldn't find the device (could only show the most recent location) and couldn't ring it, but the Samsung Find My Phone got the location, battery level and could ring it immediately.
I'm guessing they added their implementation as an exception to the encryption, but not Google's implementation

Which Dynamic DNS Service are you using? by IcerOut in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[-] IcerOut@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Before, I used to use duckdns. Completely free and super simple
Nowadays I just have a docker container that updates my A records on my domain directly through namesilo's API. Took like 5 mins to set up the config

image generators like Midjourney or stable diffusion? by IcerOut in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Because they're completely different activities?

If you walk around outside, in a public space, you're gonna get recorded by security cameras that the local market has pointed towards the sidewalk (and likely don't care), but you would definitely care if someone pulled down your pants to take a pic of your underwear. Is that incoherent?

EDIT: The data can and will be scraped anyway. If they want, they can just start their own instance, federate with everything they can, and they won't even need to scrape it. At least we can get some use out of data harvesting with bots like these.

"View this community on KBIN" bookmarklet by IcerOut in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[-] IcerOut@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly I'm not sure. I think normally they should only appear if somebody from your instance is subscribed to them or if you search for it manually. Tbh kbin's search has been broken for me since I've joined, so that might have something to do with why nothing shows up?

Although I've checked it now and https://kbin.social/m/valheim@lemmy.world works and you can subscribe (just doesn't show the post from the original ...yet?) so... maybe there's something more to it.

"View this community on KBIN" bookmarklet (kbin.social)

With the search being partially broken ATM, it's a bit annoying to open another community (https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted) in kbin (https://kbin.social/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world)

There's an extension for firefox that transforms links found in comments, but it doesn't work if you've already got the community open in its original site.

I've just put together a quick and dirty js bookmarklet for this (mostly for myself, but I figured I'd post it in case anyone else finds it useful).
You basically save this code as a bookmark, and just click it when you're in a community on another site to be taken to that communiy on kbin:

javascript:(function()%7Blet%20reg%20%3D%20window.location.href.match(%2Fhttps%3F%3A%5C%2F%5C%2F(.*)%5C%2F%5Bcm%5D%5C%2F(%5Ba-zA-Z%5D%2B)%5C%2F%3F.*%2F)%3B%0Awindow.location.href%20%3D%20%60https%3A%2F%2Fkbin.social%2Fm%2F%24%7Breg%5B2%5D%7D%40%24%7Breg%5B1%5D%7D%60%3B%7D)()%3B

The original, unminified code is just

let reg = window.location.href.match(/https?:\/\/(.*)\/[cm]\/([a-zA-Z]+)\/?.*/);
window.location.href = `https://kbin.social/m/${reg[2]}@${reg[1]}`;

Unfortunately it doesn't work for threads (seems like they're a bit more complex than a quick find and replace), you need to be on the frontpage of the community

When I click a federated link my web browser goes to the other site. How can I view it from kbin? by IcerOut in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

With a little poking around you can install any add-on on Firefox Nightly mobile. Not all of them are guaranteed to work, but it's a lot more than what Mozilla officially allows

Getting fed up with people not marking their NSFW content by IcerOut in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social
[-] IcerOut@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It looks like an improvement to this is coming, with posts on NSFW magazines being automatically marked NSFW (if I'm reading it right)

Should help a bit with this.

I hope that "Go back to Reddit" doesn't become a recurring jab used against others in the fediverse by IcerOut in c/fediverse@kbin.social

Thank you!

Could you, by chance, please give some links to those userscripts?

Unfortunately, it seems kbin search is broken ATM (returns a 500) and google seems to only index magazines, not individual threads, so it's a bit hard to search for them
