Thanks for the response!
I can confirm the blocked users are present in my piefed settings.
For testing, I blocked a user on Voyager - and verified that user appeared in Voyager’s block list. Then I verified they appeared in Piefed block list - they did. I restarted the Voyager app, forced a reload, then opened the post I blocked this test user from and I can still see their comment.
When I open this post on Piefed directly, I cannot see their comment as expected.
Not completely accurate. Most modern systems support asynchronous dual channel. Providing dual channel operation up to the smaller RAM capacity with the remaining RAM running in single-channel. Also “computers aren’t designed or meant to be operated that way” is a fabrication - they operate just fine, just with reduced performance. In RAM starved situations it’s still better to have single-channel than nothing at all.
Edit: poor dude downvoted me for correcting him. What a sad existence.
Low severity. Good that it got attention but this requires attackers to already have access to the HV - meaning you’re already screwed.

Mate you’re the only one whining. I got around the cookie banner just fine, and reposted here for others.

That’s a no from me dawg
The updater integrated into Notepad++ has allowed itself to be infiltrated by malware, which has been installed on some PCs. The developer of the powerful open-source text editor is responding with an update to Notepad++ v8.8.9. Users currently have to perform the update manually.
In a news post on the Notepad++ website, developer Don Ho explains that “some security experts have reported incidents where internet traffic affecting Notepad++ was intercepted.” According to the post, investigations have revealed that traffic from the Notepad++ updater WinGUp “was occasionally redirected to malicious servers, leading to the download of compromised executable files.” IT security researcher Kevin Beaumont reports that at least three organizations “with interests in South Asia” have been targeted in this way.
As Beaumont explains, the updater uses a version check that queries the URL “https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php” and evaluates an XML file delivered through it. The updater uses the download URL listed in the XML file, saves the file in the %TEMP% folder, and executes it. Anyone who can intercept and manipulate this traffic can therefore change the download URL. Until version 8.8.7 of Notepad++, the developer used a self-signed certificate, which is available in the Github source code. This made it possible to create manipulated updates and push them onto victims. Since v8.8.7, however, Notepad++ relies on a legitimate GlobalSign certificate, and installing its own Notepad++ root certificate is no longer necessary.
Remedy through updates
With Notepad++ v8.8.8, the WinGUp updater now forces github.com as the download source. Version 8.8.9, released overnight on Wednesday, further hardens Notepad++ and WinGUp so that they correctly check the signature and certificates of downloaded installers during the update process. If the check fails, the update process is aborted. Don Ho notes that investigations are ongoing to determine how the traffic hijacking occurred in the observed cases.
Kevin Beaumont also lists some indicators of compromise (IOCs). For example, connections from “gup.exe” to URLs other than “notepad-plus-plus.org”, “github.com”, and “release-assets.githubusercontent.com” are suspicious. Likewise, attention should be paid if “gup.exe” starts unusual processes – only “explorer.exe” and “npp*” related Notepad++ installers should run under it, which since versions 8.8.8 are also signed with a GlobalSign certificate. After the observed attacks, files named “update.exe” or “AutoUpdater.exe” (Notepad++ itself does not use these names at all) were apparently also found in the user’s TEMP directory, from which “gup.exe” downloaded and executed the updaters.
Notepad++ v8.8.8 currently does not find the update.
Beaumont recommends updating to at least Notepad++ v8.8.8. However, version 8.8.9 is even further hardened. The integrated updater from Notepad++ v8.8.8 does not yet find the update, and “winget” also does not currently find a newer software version. However, the latest version is available as a manual download on the Notepad++ website.
Notepad++ is frequently targeted by malicious actors because the software is popular and widely used. Last year, for example, Don Ho asked for help to get rid of a “parasitic website” that was creeping into the original Notepad++ site in Google search results. It had unscrupulous intentions. In general, fake sites often appear in search results offering virus-infected files.

Citation needed - but I suppose you could say the same about my claim.
I’d love to test this properly with an infrared thermometer but I don’t have one. All I have is an anecdote that I’ve been charging my OLED in it’s case since release and have never had an issue - not zipped up given the wire, just the lid flipped over on top.
I guess either way the BMS would prevent any real damage from occurring, which is why I say it’s a non-issue.
I can understand the concern. But a SD at full load would run significantly hotter, even with fan exhaust, than a powered-off SD charging in an enclosed case. It’s a non-issue.

You.
Most literate people have never written a book. Blind and deaf people are not a monolith, doubting one does not automatically apply to all like you’re implying. If you’re going to criticize me, at least quote me correctly you goober. Go be needlessly upset somewhere else.
Mate. Look at where you’re at. People aren’t upvoting me because I’m right, they’re upvoting me because I answered the question.
there’s no way a deaf and blind person could have been literate
Keep your words out of my mouth. You’re just looking for an excuse to be offended.
I got one - and it’s the only conspiracy theory I give any credence to.
All of Helen Keller’s feats were utter bullshit and were a circus side show to bring money to her family. It’s the perfect “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it” fairytale. Like hell she flew an airplane, ain’t no way she wrote a book.
Before anyone provides evidence of the contrary, I will not accept it no matter how damning it is. Hence the “firmly hold.”
Honestly, it’s not a word in my vocabulary but I think this opinion is moronic, idiotic even.
The only reason it continues to be offense to those living with mental disabilities is because there are people like yourself who keep attributing the word to them.

I agree. It’s definitely the most “Reddit” of the instances. I find myself rolling my eyes mostly at World and db0 comments, but for different reasons.
That being said, I’m sure the regular folk on World out weigh the assholes - it just happens that assholes tend to be a vocal minority.
I love the art for this poster.
Just to nitpick, a 36ft alligator at 2000lbs would be a frail stick of an alligator. Theoretically, an alligator of that size would be closer to 8000lbs.
As much as I dislike the use of genAI in art/entertainment, in this case I would be much more willing to watch this movie if someone used AI to replace Leto with literally anyone else.
I’ve been overseas a lot this year, and if anyone asks where I’m from my go-to response is “I’m American but I’m telling people Canadian.”
It’s a cheeky joke, without actually needing to lie about where I’m from, and is a clear indication that I don’t agree with the batshit crazy that’s going on in my country.
Yes. I’ve used this site before but I can’t guarantee how safe it is:
Thanks for opening that, I really appreciate the help.
