No Stupid Questions

Do I have the autoritah?

Pure conjectural or anecdotal but it is my intuition that there is something to it

Drag knows that being a furry isn't all about sex. It's mostly about liking cartoon animals. But nonetheless, drag did have a preconception of the furry community being a generally sex-positive space due to all the queer floating around. Drag recently had a bizarre experience in which a community of furries was weirdly particular about a certain dirty joke, which had never been a problem in other online communities. Are furries really sex negative compared to most people?

I know I can use an HDMI source like a Raspberry Pi and a small screen for HDMI and could twist copper cable together and measure continuity through them to narrow down which is which but I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Maybe something I connect to either end?

Hey all,

I’ve built an app, and I’m looking to make sure it’s fully secure before launching. I know the importance of running a solid pen test and I want to see how far someone can push it, really dig into every vulnerability, and exploit the system in ways that no one else could.

How do you make sure you’re really breaking through all the defenses without missing anything? What’s the best way to really tear apart a system and expose every last vulnerability? I don’t want a passive scan. I want to make sure my app gets the most thorough testing possible. A deep scanning, breaking through firewalls, and not just skimming the surface. What tools and methods do you recommend for ensuring you’re really getting inside everything, and not missing anything crucial?

Is this something I could take on by myself, or should I look into hiring a professional? I want someone who isn’t afraid to be aggressive with my app, someone who knows how to push past every layer of defense and really get to the core of what’s vulnerable. I’m ready for a deep, full on test that leaves no stone unturned, no access point unchecked. If there are weaknesses hiding anywhere, I want them exposed, exploited, and taken advantage of.

So, what’s the best way to really break in and make sure my app stands up to the most intense scrutiny? Any tools or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Want to ensure financial documents cant be parsed by automated systems

Like, if you can trap the heat in could it at least keep the water comfortably hot for an extended period of time, like say 8-16 hours?

I believe ants and honey bees have genetically-coded and baked-in specializations like worker and queen bees

Lastly, would the end product be considered Human Oil?

A friend received a spam email from [email protected]

Intuit is a real company, and intuit.com is their real domain. Looking online, a number of people received this scam email a few months ago, and then again over the last week.

If you came across this post from Google, this is why it reeks of a scam email:

• 12 of other email addresses are listed in the to and cc fields
• it says that a subscription is set to renew, "$399.99 will soon be taken out of your account" and that it will happen within the "next 24 hours". Classic sense of urgency
• It includes an 888 phone number that does not come up as any legitimate number, and it includes a PDF which my friend did not download in case it is malicious

Does this mean that Intuit lost control of that subdomain, or is there another way that someone might be spoofing it? I can have my friend check any other metadata if it would be helpful.

If you came here from Google, welcome to the Fediverse :)

I think it's the same color as the color designation for:

Avg.: 72°F | 58°F

But I have no idea what the graph is showing if the blue line is showing the Temperature at that time of the day. All the values change with the vertical slider for to change the time of day.

I guess the process is probably similar in other countries but included my country anyway since I don't know enough about this stuff. Feel free to respond even if you're in another country!

I received injuries from using a product that is available internationally, but not sure how many or where they have actually sold. Later this week an investigator is going to come to my home to take pictures of the product. I feel like they must be doing something else too? Maybe an interview? It seems weird to come all the way out here for some photographs. If it matters, the manufacturer itself is located in a different country.

Thanks for any information provided!

• Sorta like Where's Waldo but conceptually or lexically?

Or do they???!!!

Let's suppose we could dump enough "breathable" air (whatever that means for humans) into the solar system that it filled the spaces between planets.

What would happen?

A - I imagine it would then become possible to fly airplanes between planets, perhaps balloons? Would space travel become easier or harder?

B - According to another lemmy post, we would start to hear sound waves from the sun (A constant jackhammer sound - delightful)

C - Each each planet become the center of some mega cyclone (like the Jupiter storms, but bigger)?

D - At some point the air above us wouldn't be pushing down onto the earth at sea level, could we survive the additional pressure?

This is probably more of a Lemmy specific thing than what's normal on this community, but I posted on a community from lemmy.ml and the mods there banned me from the community.

They didn't remove my post or message me about it. I only found out because when I was going through replies, I couldn't reply and I noted that my account is banned from that community.

I wasn't saying anything untoward or encouraging anyone to do anything illegal or anything like that. It was a comment about systems of government. I don't believe I put any emphasis on whether one was better than another, but the post was in a non-political community; so it should not lean one way or the other on the matter, and the post I was replying to introduced the political discussion, so I was on-topic.

The specifics aren't super important. What I want to know is whether there's a built-in system to inquire with the mods or something to try to get an official reply as to what rules they believe I had broken to deserve a ban, and whether that ban is permanent or not. I tried simply messaging one of the mods, but it's been hours with no reply.

Is there any way to find the information? Previously on Reddit, I would almost always get a message from the subreddit about what happened, what violation caused it, and allowed me to message the mods to try to argue my case, though, me getting banned on that platform was quite rare. This is my first time knowingly being removed like this and I don't understand the process here.

Can anyone enlighten me about how these things are supposed to work on Lemmy?

If freezing salt water produces freshwater ice, why is desalinization such a difficult problem?

I was watching the above minute physics video, and they indicated in a brief one sentence line that saltwater freezes into freshwater ice. That got me thinking.

Under what circumstances could you actually freeze salt into ice? To make salt ice?
