  • Some emails that came in looked as if they came from vulnerable people themselves, asking for help. It may be that they haven’t received or understood the message to update their address book.

    I did not interfere with any of the e-mails, as this would go beyond the objectives of this investigation, but it is concerning, to say the least, that these individuals will never receive a reply. They would not have received a response anyway, but it makes me wonder how many cries for help get lost in abandoned e-mail inboxes.

    This honestly depressed me, I know firsthand many people who need help from someone who has more or less knowledge to understand something as simple as the migration of a service or an email, it is really depressing not only to know that this happens, but also that There are people who are such bastards that take advantage of this.

    Could someone explain to me how the author gained access to “I forgot my password” accounts that were not his but were in his domain? I mean, I understand that it’s on his domain, but just because I have the domain mydomain@domain.com does that mean I can redirect all emails to the main domain? Excuse the dumb question.

    Edit: Thanks for the clarification! Now I understand!











  • I suppose in the case where I’m using Google Play with a Google account, the most likely thing is that I’ll be able to update without a problem because my account is in the country where the app is located, just that it’s using the servers in the country where I live.

    In the case of the Aurora store of APKMirror, well, I’m fucked, I guess the only think that I can do is use the website of my bank, that I suppose this will be the case in many banks, the interface and the overall experience is worse than that of the app.

    To be honest, is just a shit that many, not to say all banking apps depend specifically on Google to work, it would not be a surprise to me that if I try to install my banking app extracting the APK for myself and then installing it on a deGoogled phone, the app will tell me that it requires Google to work or something like that.





  • I like Yiffit in particular because besides the fact that I’m not just there for the NSFW content, just as there are those who like to constantly check /All, I like to check /Local to see all the posts in the instance without having to manually subscribe to each existing community on Yiffit because I use /Subscribed exclusively to see the communities that I like, so /Local is like a kind of filter for me because I’m not an excessive consumer of NSFW either, there are simply certain artists who create great art and Yiffit is a great place to find artists you didn’t know, or see art in general whether SFW or NSFW, not just “watch porn”.

    I used to use up to 4 accounts at the same time with different feeds so as not to put all my eggs in the same basket but I got to a point where I honestly got sick of it, I really just want when I have free time to scroll through my feed and that’s it.

    Its really also a good option as you said to maintain this account and subscribe to the Yiffit communities that I like because I have the best of both worlds, or as another user had already recommended to me, I could also perfectly have another exclusive account for Yiffit, but that’s what I’ve been doing for months and I honestly feel tired of having different feeds, but they are completely valid options that I should consider again.



  • At what point did I say that I was upset with the decisions made by other instances? I openly said that I respect and agree with the decisions made by the administrators of the instances.

    Personally I don’t use /all much, I just see the posts of the communities to which I am subscribed and that’s all, and I think that’s a good point that I hadn’t taken into account and thanks for pointing it out, but that’s why it especially affects me not to have access to those communities in lemmy.ml, because they have a huge flow of posts that I lose by not being able to access those communities.
