misschiavanza senza chiavina = trasformazione squalotica (nuova mia istanza Sharkey!!!)
Visto che ormai si sa che ho il piacere di fare tanta e spessa roba inutile, mi è venuta in mente la possibilità per un nuovo progetto semi-segreto assurdo — “distopico”, se lo chiedete ai pallosi — che per ora chiamerò con il nome in codice di D.I.T... Della serie che, se il mio Regno del Terrore Octoso non si è mai adeguatamente concretizzato ai tempi dei miei primi social federati hostati su quella merdaccia di Raspino, e né tantomeno lo ha fatto allo stato recente con la Spacc BBS, con una cosa del genere non ci sarà praticamente scampo alcuno per l’umanità sfortunata abbastanza da entrarci in contatto!!! 😇😈Senza entrare già troppo nel merito, allora, avevo chiesto al mio compare Claudio Antropico (che lui è bravo a programmare intere cose tutto da solo) di farmi una app al volo per istituire e gestire il terrore e, almeno per iniziare a vedere un po’ il tutto nella pratica teorica, gli ho detto di usare NodeBB… ma non sembra funzionare, banalmente, ci sono rogne (la parte admin della app funziona, ma il punto principale no). E allora, visto che comunque probabilmente per questa cosa sarebbe meglio una struttura social a microblog, nonché un flusso in ingresso di dati non indifferente da una rete di informazione globale perlopiù informale, quindi la Spacc BBS sarebbe comunque un ripiego imperfetto… se devo fare la fatica di sistemare io il programma, allora tanto vale che metto su ‘sto Misskey. 🔑
Ed ecco che mi sembra già di riassaporare quei tempi col Raspino… molto agrodolci, perché la speranza era reale, ma l’hardware era da buttare… e invece oggi siamo più in una situazione opposta, ops. Vabbé, in sostanza è stato un vero bordello, contemporaneamente sia peggio che meglio di come mi ricordavo… perché in questo caso potevo usare Docker, ma il
Dockerfiledi Misskey a quanto pare è rotto (e te pareva). Ma vabbé… ho evitato di perdermi d’animo e ho provato invece Sharkey, che è un fork… e quello si è installato, ma la federazione non pareva funzionare (e te pareva). Ovviamente a causa di ciò ho perso tempo a vuoto, ho perso mezz’ora di sonno per niente, e stamattina per disperazione ho provato un altro fork invano, IceShrimp… per poi accorgermi che il problema era lo stesso che avevo avuto con NodeBB tempo fa, e cioè che avevo mancato una (1) riga di configurazione in nginx. Mannaggia!!! 🥴
Comunque ecco qui, ora c’è shark.octt.eu.org — che fortunatamente non è andata giù dopo aver aggiunto soli due (2) relay, a differenza dei tempi bui di miss.octt.eu.org (rest in miss, you will NOT be pissed…) — e per ora io sarò lì a parlare probabilmente da sola… quindi, se mi gira, dopo imposto l’inoltro verso Telegram. Ma ancora non so in realtà se userò normalmente il profilo appena creato, se ne creerò uno aggiuntivo in italiano (visto che questo ormai è ufficialmente viziato dall’inglese), o aspetterò di avere i miei spiriti virtuali pronti sotto il mio controllo ad essere scatenati malamente… l’infrastruttura di base è già pronta, e non ho dovuto chiedere un singolo centesimo di tasse ai miei sudditi per realizzarla, a differenza dei regnanti del nostro paese. 💥#fediverse #Fediverso #instance #istanza #Misskey #octospacc #Sharkey

Russia’s war against Ukraine

Ukraine obtains classified data on Russia’s newest nuclear submarine, intelligence claims. K-555 Knyaz Pozharsky is a Project 955A Borei–A–class vessel, a crucial component of the Kremlin’s nuclear triad.
Zelensky says mercenaries from Asia and Africa fighting for Russia in northeastern Ukraine. “The soldiers on this front are recording the participation of mercenaries from China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and African countries in the war. We will respond,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement.
‘No other choice‘ — Syrskyi says Ukraine must mobilize to counter growing Russian forces. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi warned on Aug. 5 that Russia is accelerating mobilization efforts, with plans to form 10 new military divisions by the end of the year. In response, Ukraine has “no other choice” but to intensify its own mobilization.
‘Productive‘ phone call with Trump focused on ending war, sanctions, drone production, Zelensky says. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine has already prepared a draft agreement on drones and is ready to finalize what he called “one of the strongest agreements this could be.”
Russia considers air truce proposal to Trump without ending war, Bloomberg says. According to Bloomberg, Russian officials are exploring options ahead of a visit by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow this week.

Over $1 billion secured for US weapons via NATO program, Zelensky says. “This is evidence that NSATU (NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine) is working, and the decisions of the NATO Summit in The Hague are being implemented,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
2 Russian oil refineries cut production after Ukrainian drone attacks, Reuters reports. Russia’s Ryazan oil refinery halved its production and the Novokuibyshevsk refinery halted it completely on Aug. 2 after Ukrainian drone attacks, Reuters reported, citing undisclosed sources.
‘His economy stinks,’ — falling oil prices could force Putin to end war, Trump says. “(Russian President Vladimir) Putin will stop killing people if you get (the price of) energy down another $10 a barrel. He’s going to have no choice, because his economy stinks,” U.S. President Donald Trump said.
Kremlin confident in the face of Trump’s sanctions threats, doubts real impact, Reuters reports. Putin is reluctant to provoke Trump and recognizes that pressing ahead with the war could jeopardize a potential thaw in relations with Washington and the West, but his military objectives remain the top priority, two sources told Reuters.
Witkoff’s plane reportedly lands in Moscow ahead of key talks on avoiding Trump’s sanctions. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, who had no diplomatic experience before joining the current administration, is seen as more sympathetic to Moscow than many other members of Trump’s team.

Human cost of Russia’s war
Railway hit in Kharkiv Oblast as Russian attacks kill 10, injure 17 in Ukraine over past day. Russian forces launched an Iskander-M ballistic missile from Russia’s Bryansk Oblast and 46 Shahed-type drones from Kursk, Bryansk, Orel, and Primorsk-Akhtarsk against Ukraine overnight, according to Ukraine’s Air Force.
Over 330 Russian troops killed in failed attack in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine’s intelligence claims, shows footage. Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) special forces fought off a Russian attempt to advance in Sumy Oblast, “destroying more than eight Russian companies” during the battle, the agency said on Aug. 5
International response
Trump weighs sanctions on Russia’s ‘shadow fleet‘ if Putin refuses ceasefire, FT reports. If enacted, the measures would represent the first U.S. sanctions targeting Moscow since Donald Trump returned to the presidency in January.
US greenlights $104 million M777 howitzer support deal for Ukraine. The package includes technical assistance, training, and other logistical support. BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness, the U.K., is the main contractor.

Stubsack: Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 10th August 2025
Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

In more low-key news, the New Yorker's given public praise to Blood in the Machine, pulling a year-old review back into the public spotlight.
Its hardly anything new (the Luddites' cultural re-assessment has been going on since 2023), but its hardly a good sign for the tech industry at large (or AI more specifically) that a major newspaper's decided to give some positive coverage to 'em.
With that out the way, here's a sidenote:
When history looks back on the Luddites' cultural re-assessment, I expect the rise of generative AI will be pointed to as a major factor.
Beyond being a blatant repeat of what the Luddites fought against (automation being used to fuck over workers and artisans), its role in enabling bosses to kill jobs and abuse labour in practically every field imaginable (including fields that were thought safe from automation) has provided highly fertile ground for developing class solidarity.
Looking for Beta Testers – DNA Analysis App
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm a student who recently got into bioinformatics, and I’ve been building an — a lightweight tool to help with DNA sequence analysis and primer design.
🧑💻 I built it entirely using Python on Linux and I’m excited to share it with this community!
🔬 What it does:
• Converts DNA sequences & generates complementary strands
• Flags invalid or non-DNA characters (great for catching copy-paste errors)
• Supports degenerate bases (e.g., M, R, Y – helpful for primer design)
• 100% offline – no internet, no ads, no data collection
• Save and export sequences easily
🧪 I’m running a closed paid beta and need at least 12 testers to qualify for public release on Google Play:
• Price: $3.59 AUD (~$2.39 USD)
• Just keep the app installed for 14 days (Google’s minimum)
• Feedback is welcome but optional!
✅ How to test:
1️⃣ Join the tester group:
👉 groups.google.com/g/companiond…
2️⃣ Opt into the beta:
👉 play.google.com/apps/testing/o…
3️⃣ Install the app from the Play Store link you’ll get after joining
Thanks so much if you give it a try! I’m still new to all this, so any support from this community means a lot 💙
DM me with questions or bugs!
Is this an Android App? If so, why share it in a Linux community?
Also, who does genetic sequence analysis and primer design on a mobile device?
You’re so gracious that you allow people to pay to be beta testers for your proprietary app.
(Also, I hate to be that guy who calls everything AI generated based on some tiny markers, but the use of emojis makes me feel the post is AI generated with no, or minimal, human oversight which puts in question quality of your code).

The US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation tasked with examining the June 2023 implosion of the Titan submersible released its report
The board determined the primary contributing factors were OceanGate’s inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection process for the Titan. Other factors cited in the report include a toxic workplace culture at OceanGate, an inadequate domestic and international regulatory framework for submersible operations and vessels of novel design, and an ineffective whistleblower process under the Seaman’s Protection Act.The board also found OceanGate failed to properly investigate and address known hull anomalies following its 2022 Titanic expedition. Investigators determined the Titan’s real-time monitoring system generated data that should have been analyzed and acted on during the 2022 Titanic expedition. However, OceanGate did not take any action related to the data, conduct any preventative maintenance or properly store the Titan during the extended off season before its 2023 Titanic expedition.

First time - which distro is best for me?
Hey everyone I'm looking at setting up an 8th gen Intel machine to run some things for me. I'd like it to run jellyfin & tailscale, but also be able to stream steam games off my windows gaming computer. I'd also hope to be able to use it to run a jellyfin client as it would be plugged into my LG TV (which can't run jellyfin).
Is there one distro that can do all these? My mate is using unraid and I recommends it but he is only running jellyfin.
Thanks!
I recommend Debain, or else Linux Mint which is a derivative of (and fully compatible with Debian Linux) but has more recent software packages available to it.
Both Tailscale and Jellyfin have instructions on how to install onto Debian which are not too difficult to follow.
If you intend to use this computer as a server, Debian is probably better, it is lighter-weight and slightly more stable. If you intend to also use this computer as a daily driver, you might try Linux Mint instead, since it includes more of Ubuntu's more recent software builds in their app store (i.e. package repository), and it is helpful to have more recent builds of the most popular apps. I have heard it is also a bit easier to install games onto Linux Mint than Debian.
I have a blog post about how to pick a Linux written for people switching from Windows or Mac, if you are interested in a more detailed explanation.

Is there one distro that can do all these?
Yes, basically all of them.
Asking open-ended distro questions means you're just going to get a list of people's personal preferences stated as "facts".

I use Bluefin and tailscale is built in (you just have to login to your setup). They're atomic so they upgrade the whole image automatically (no faffing or bugging you) and apps are all flatpak. I get on great with it. Only caveat is it only supports relatively modern nvidia graphics cards.

For your mentioned use cases, any distribution would do.
In fact, any answer for your question would be anecdotal, and here’s mine: Debian if this isn’t your first rodeo, and Ubuntu Server if it is.
Heck, just play around with Ubuntu Server and then go to Debian.
Moreover, you may ask this question on !selfhosted@lemmy.world for better insights.

Your mate is running a Jellyfin client on Unraid? Or the server? Unraid is a NAS that can run VMs and containers. It is not a desktop system.
If you were only running server stuff on that machine, I would recommend Proxmox.
As others have said though, basically any Linux distro can do what you are looking for.
If you are going to run it as a desktop, pick a distro that has a desktop environment (GUI) that you like and go from there.
Fun fact: Unraid is really just Slackware Linux running the Unraid application on top

then some wealthy business donor has a quiet word to them because businesses need VPNs to function
A little credit here. They'd rephrase the law to only target VPNs whose purpose is offering as a service to the general public (as opposed to exclusively employees and contractors) the ability to connect to a private network with exit points / the ability to appear as if their traffic originates from outside of the UK.
On a related matter they could also require know your customer for all VPNs, require all VPNs keep logs available on request for police inspection and those who don't are banned. All companies keep extensive logs for corporate VPNs so this wouldn't present any additional burden to private enterprise but would be the end of anonymous VPN services.
I really don't think this is more of the spectacle and move on. Not this time. I think Palestine has them spooked because they lost control of the narrative and the best way to seize control of the internet and clamp down on people conveying information they don't like is starting with things like this.

You literally have to provide identification when buying a SIM card for a mobile phone in Germany and it all gets registered.
Most of Europe doesn't have any such thing and even the UK with all it's authoritarian overreach doesn't have this.
There is literally no other use for this other than for the state to be to know who calls who.
Germany is a lot more "papers please" than most of Europe in my personal experience.
Yeah I think it's very subjective and this one anedcote is just that.
In Germany cash is preferred in most places, and that makes tracking payments difficult. This is not the case in most other european countries. That's an another anecdote for you.
That's a "people" preference.
Mandatory registration of who buys a SIM card is a "government" preference.
My point is that in Germany the Legislation favors privacy less than in other countries.
Your point seems to be that in Germany people favor privacy more than in other countries.
I made the point be about legislation because you mentioned GDPR / DSGVO, plus this post is about what governments are shoving down people's throats when it comes to surveillance. I don't expect that most people in Europe actually want governments snooping on their chats.
Still, it's good to know that in Germany the people themselves favor privacy, even if so far they've been less successful at avoiding governmental overreach on surveillance than people in many other European nations (though compared with, say, Britain, Germany is veritable paradise in terms of state surveillance of the civil society).

the only thing that can really stop it IMO is mainstreaming decentralized social media and messaging services.
You'd need to effectively replace Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Whatsapp etc.. The only thing that totally keeps us from 1984 is that all these platforms for now have decided to be relatively free and impartial (compared to how bad it could be). But that could change at any time if the powers that be decide to on a whim. They could completely ban all privacy, pacificsm or any kind of political opposition tomorrow.

Not quite.
Farage keeps running around saying "Pick me! Pick me!" and the press keep asking "Is farage a viable candidate?" while not offering the same credence to anyone else.
The British public are "We're fucking sick of this bollocks from the establishment" and a lot of them are falling for the privately educated ex city trader Farages nonsense that he's a "man of the people" because all the centrist parties are saying "aren't immigrants awful?" in an attempt to distract from their own incompetence and quite frankly, the left is 10 years behind in offering a coherent alternative to all the bullshit.
a lot of them are falling for the privately educated ex city trader Farages nonsense that he’s a “man of the people”
This parallels Trump, but I think it's mostly not that people are really fooled into believing these wealthy politicians are just like them. I think the attraction is more that the current system isn't working for a lot of people and hasn't been for a long time. Someone who offers to tear it down can attract a large following even if they don't have a good proposal for what to replace it with.
It took a while for me to see that because I find the racist and nationalist beliefs of the likes of Trump, Farage, and the AFD so appalling it's hard to see anything else.
Definitely, it's them playing stupid so centrist liberals will mock them because they can't help themselves and they use that to say to the genpop "look, I'm just like you and these sneering elites are laughing at me, and by extension you"
I think the attraction is more that the current system isn't working for a lot of people and hasn't been for a long time.
Exactly. They play the outsider who has the balls but not embroiled in the quagmire, to come and "drain the swamp"
The perverse hilarity of trump saying this is that he is the 1%, he is the trust fund kid that had everything handed to him on a platter. He literally is the swamp (a corrupt child rapist)
Farage in the UK went to one of the top schools (Dulwich college) where he was disciplined for singing Hitler youth songs. He got a job in the city through his dad as a commodities broker before going into (disrupting) politics and people seem to believe his shit when he acts like he's one of the common folk!
People need their heads banging together falling for that shit!

Also, Americans are subject to supporting this bullshit. If any company in the us (or in the world really) owns or maintains data that the EU qualifies as adult-oriented, they have to either maintain a means of actively prevent EU users or support the filtering and tracking that the EU mandates. If not, they can be fined by the EU, and as long as there is a financial relationship between the us and EU, the fines will be enforced.
This has global impact.

I do agree. But calling the UK Orwellian is kind of funny, given Orwell's 1984 is largely, if not mostly, based on the UK:
- Like Winston, Orwell worked in the UK as a war propagandist, and lamented that he constantly had to lie and censor facts, but thought it worth it to defeat the Nazis.
- The 'ministries' were entirely based on the UK's, especially e.g. the 'Ministry of Defense' actually being a ministry of war.
- Orwell complained that the UK secret police constantly opened all his letters because he was a commie.
- Room 101 and the Ministry of Truth is basically just satire of the BBC.
As well as cultural changes in the 80s-90s, I think people don't quite realise how much the internet 'escaped' the grasp of governments for the past few decades. By constantly banging the drum of "what about the children D:", governments are finally just catching up to where we used to be.

and this is not about "online treats", but online threats. It's not just netflix, amazon and other silly unnecessary things, it's everything, including every forum where people can organize and discuss things, fucking youtube with their tons of knowledge based content, ...
but sure! we have 4 other problems, count climate change too, that's 5, we really should just ignore this one because it's literally meaningless!
No... Just exposing bias of the commenter.

No one in those countries believes that they live in a free, enlightened society...
But the west always portrayed otself in such a light... Now everyone knows their politics are just as ugly as Chinas, Irans or Russias politics.

I don't see anyone in US LARPing freedom bullshit since at least covid lol
Well besides regime whores on tv... But that's a different story
But in us unlike china or russia, shit posters don't get charges or at least not nearly as much for saying stupid shit online. People in russia peope get prison for being anti war.
It can happen in the US too... My comment above touches on this fact.
In china and russia people get disappeared in regular course of business.
If this was true, half of Lemmy would be in Gitmo already
Does china have a place like reddit or fediverse?
Link it up!

The UK is owned by a different country. That country is Italy, where the Roman Catholic Church resides. Any Catholic-owned platform will shut down anything that goes against the RCC, or at best, they'll just minimize the reach for those who have some things to say against the Jesuits and Catholic leadership.
That's from what my producer, Neigsendoig, researched.
US big tech is influencing europe to do the same as the us, and opening them up for absolute power.
the only way out is to stop being US vassals.
I'm not going to defend the US and it's tech oligarchs, they are all shit, but the way things are going, the EU and the UK are currently in way worse shape than the US in terms of all this 1984 bullshit.
No country is safe from this anymore, and we may very well be looking at the worse time to be alive when it comes to privacy, regardless of where you live.

We deff have it better now with corpo and goverment replacing family and the hood
You do make a good point. However, consider the fact that you could talk with your wife, kids, friends or anyone for that matter, and the only way someone else would find out was if one of the parties involved told someone else or if you were too loud for someone else to listen. Now we have to go fully out of our way to keep anything under wraps, and even then, there's no guarantee that nobody else knows.
I firmly believe this is the worst the world has ever been for privacy and individualism, and everything points to that everything is going to be worse moving forward.
Additionally, it's highly that any of us lived through those times you mentioned, so I'm speaking from my own life experience, and I'm over half a century old.
No. This is a very naive & dated way of thinking about the world of today. We don’t really have distinct borders distinguishing politicians at that level.
It’s more accurate to say the Davos group is ruling all western nations. What looks like separate world leaders and parties is actually one world-spanning organization of those with power. And what’s worse, they’re all Nazis and technocrats.
The Nazis learned from WW2. If you invade a country, the people fight back. If you groom and install/bribe your own people into leadership positions, the people just let it happen.
big US capitalists are the ones ruling western nations (and the third world, through neocolonialism). other western oligarchs might play a role.
in this case, europe doesn't have its own big tech that compares to the US's, and i don't think they are allowed to.
i don't think they are relying on a formal, yearly summit to do so either. the real politics are made behind close doors, and i doubt there's a public list anywhere of the people coming to agreements on how to direct their power.
i will agree they are fascists who learned their lesson from nazi mistakes.
i am really worried about what's going on in eu

Oh, I think I've heard of Tesseract before... The reason I ended up going with Alexandrite was because Tesseract looked a little over-featured and very busy; not really what I was looking for, but it looks great!
A shame about those issues with developments. Sometimes that's just what happens with Open Source, especially for niche stuff developed by a single individual. Do you know why the dev swore off the Fediverse? I'm very interested in why someone would decide that. I did go thru their post history and got an idea as to a possibility, but I wonder if they made a post about it or something that I might've missed.
Here's the Readme from the commit when he discontinued Tesseract.

Another option is a hybrid one, to add the rss feeds from the lemmy communities your're interested in, or the rss feed from all of them together into your feed reader (even better if newsraft), but those feeds don't show full lemmy conversations and one has to show them in the browser, and also if in need to comment or post one still need to use the browser.

Neonmodem looks really cool and support multiple backend. TUI is cool and definitely earns its place. Excellent for my old laptop.
But on the other hands, I wish we have a proper complicated non electron liked desktop gui. My browser probably has 1000+ tabs. So able to open multiple threads are must. But building this sophisticated desktop app is hard. I am really being spoiled by open source apps. And I am always thankful to devs' hardwork.

Is Tor browser on Mullvad DNS a bad idea?
I set secure DNS to Mullvad DNS.
Since I can't afford a VPN, I do my web searches on Tor browser.
like this
Rozaŭtuno likes this.
that's how ipleak and co. check for DNS leaks.
No. It's fine.
Tor uses its own DNS system to my recollection. It's true there is DNS as part of fingerprinting and DNS leaks are a concern for VPNs (see for example dnsleaktest.com/) but Tor is not vulnerable to this and it's more a problem of you're using a VPN to appear to be in NYC but your DNS shows Phoenix so that's a big discrepancy that raises the uniqueness of your fingerprint on a VPN and even lets threat actors guesstimate where you actually are. As I said though this is not an issue on Tor.
So understand that the DNS from Mullvad will only affect other programs not Tor. It will prevent say your ISP's DNS from seeing your video games calling their domains that way. Your ISP can still see you're connecting to infrastructure for as an example Genshin Impact when you launch the game because they can see where your traffic is flowing and the IP addresses as well as traffic patterns, ports, etc. It somewhat limits the data and visibility they get but there is something called SNI snooping as well as of course the fact they know the IP addresses where your connections go. So it's perhaps better than nothing but understand the limits of it as they still have a lot of visibility though they shouldn't be able to see your web searches regardless just that you're accessing google or bing or duckduckgo as those sites use HTTPS.
DNS leak test
DNSleaktest.com offers a simple test to determine if you DNS requests are being leaked which may represent a critical privacy threat. The test takes only a few seconds and we show you how you can simply fix the problem.www.dnsleaktest.com
More context please. Where did you set the DNS? Smartphone, desktop? In browser or on system settings?
Assuming the following: You set the general DNS on your AOSP based smartphone to Mullvad and use Tor bowser simultaneously.
This is perfectly fine as Tor browser uses its own DNS. They won't interfere.
This kinda reminds me of when Beavis and Butthead first came on the air. Panned as the stupidest thing on TV.
When it came back in the 2010s, it was exactly as stupid. However, relative to what ELSE was on TV? Suddenly it was relatively high brow. It was easily the smartest show on MTV. By a LOT.
Putting super Gover in the first Iron Man? Nonsense. Putting him in whatever they do next? IMO it would generally raise the bar. No offense, MCU superfans.
Domain names for catch all email aliases
I'm looking into getting some domains for email, so I don't need to use the same few addresses for everything. In doing this, the domain name itself becomes the identity, but it's also entirely arbitrary.
What is a good method to choose domain names so that they look more or less normal? Catch all addresses can of course be detected in SMTP, but the idea is just to not look suspicious. Would anyone be comfortable sharing the constructions they use? (though not the domains themselves, for obvious reasons) Should I use subdomains for the things that can safely be correlated, (as spam defense) or is it better to only use different mailboxes on one domain?
Look into simplelogin.io/
They make creating random aliases for custom domains like this easy.
As for the domain name itself, anything that already looks like a mail service is good. “examplemail.com” or “mailexample.com”
SimpleLogin | Open source anonymous email service
With email aliases , you can be anonymous online and protect your inbox against spams and phishing.SimpleLogin | Open source anonymous email service
I went to expireddomains.net and searched for ones ending in "__mail.net". Found a good, short domain that was once a regional ISP and email provider 15-20 years ago. (I still get spam for some of their old subscribers.).
I do not use subdomains for this one. Generally, I combine a simple name with a number for the mailbox name. Like "johnathan2715@zzzmail.net" if I think it needs to look like a real name, or some other word like "giraffe1238" or something like that.
It's working great.
I just use a single catch-all account in my existing domain. If you send an email to my primary address it just goes to my primary box. If you send an email to my secondary address it goes to my secondary box. If you send an email to anything else it goes to my catch-all box.
Rumba@mycustomdomain.com Skips the catch only goes right to me.
Intel@mycustomdomain.com Go straight to the catch-all
I don't have to pre-make them I simply use anything that doesn't exist.
I set up my postfix server so that anything after a hyphen ("-") becomes a wildcard. It like Gmail's "plus addressing", but the hyphen is more subtle. It means multiple users can make infinite aliases on one domain.
So, "user@domain.com" has the same mailbox as "user-somesuffix@domain.com".
I'm not OP but I use mailcow to host my mail and it comes with the + aliases by default. So mail+google@example.org goes to mail@example.org.
You can also do fully random aliases on demand, both time limited and permanently. Useful for those few services that do not accept + in their email fields.
Something you can remember...
Catch alls are most useful when you are away and you need to give an email out. If you can't remember the domain that becomes a pain.
I’m looking into getting some domains for email, so I don’t need to use the same few addresses for everything.
Getting a custom domain for email is smart. It’s a necessary step given how data is treated these days. The domain becomes your identifier, but it's essentially arbitrary. I switched from sharing a single email address (which predictably led to breaches and spam) to creating dedicated emails for each service. Now, when an account gets compromised, I just redirect that email to oblivion. It’s a clean break, and a strangely revealing look at how online identities get resold and repurposed. Worth considering.

From Gaza: A Student’s Story of Loss, Resilience, and Hope
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/5757723
My name is Soliman — a young man and student from Gaza, carrying a burden far heavier than my age. Between my studies and the hardships of life, I try to be the backbone of my family in the most difficult of times.We once had a small farm — olive and citrus trees, and a greenhouse where we planted not just crops, but dreams.
That farm was our only source of income, and more than that, it was a place full of memories, of hope, and of the laughter that once made life a little easier.
But in a single moment, everything was gone.
A fire reduced our years of effort to ashes.
We lost our source of living, our stability — and with it, a part of our souls.
Now, despite the pain, I’m trying to start over. I’m doing everything I can to keep my family standing, to find even the smallest light of hope that might restore our strength, dignity, and sense of humanity.
On top of all this, I’m also struggling with serious health issues.
I suffer from a urinary tract infection caused by the lack of access to clean drinking water.
Here in Gaza, we’re forced to drink water mixed with sand and other contaminants — there’s simply no other choice.
It’s affecting my health badly, and I need treatment I can’t afford in these conditions.
I’m sharing my story with honesty and hope, praying it reaches a kind heart — someone who can help, or even just share it with others who might be able to.
If you’re able to support us in any way, here’s my GoFundMe link:
Every share, every kind word, and every small donation could be a lifeline for us.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking a moment to read my story.
I completely understand your doubt — the world is full of scams, and it’s your right to question things.
But my story is real, and unfortunately, what my family and I are living through in Gaza is beyond words.
The photo is real, the account is real, and the GoFundMe link was created by a friend in Germany because I’m unable to create one from Gaza.
All I ask is for you to consider sharing it if possible — or even just a prayer.
Thank you for your compassion, even if you’re still unsure.
Thank you for replying, and I’m sorry that bad actors on the internet make people like me have to be a little suspicious of posts like this.
Have you considered providing photographic proof that you are the person in the picture, such as providing a photo of you holding a piece of paper that says “Hello Lemmy” with the current date and time on it? Things like that are usually typical when you are proving your identity in a post like this because it allows people to analyze it for signs of photo manipulation. With nothing but a few photos of you in Gaza, it is impossible to tell if it is really you or if someone has stolen those photos and is impersonating you for money.
Assuming that you are the man in the photo, I do want to say how horrible I feel about the genocide happening in your country. Nobody deserves that, and most of the world sees the crimes happening against your people, even if those in power are too cowardly to do anything.

Again...Linux is deployed to more devices on the planet than any other OS, beating MS by a long shot.
Are you just referring to Desktop?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
In other words, Linux is the most deployed kernel. But if you're talking about the "linux OS" then you're probably actually thinking of GNU/linux, which I don't think is as widely deployed as windows (maybe I'm wrong? that's why I was asking). Or, you can include all OS's using a linux kernel, in which case you'll include all androids, but that's not what most people mean when they talk about linux os.
Ah OK, just found
Napster was the original peer-to-peer platform and drew heat from the recording industry. Artists like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Metallica, and plenty more spoke out against the platform.
(I do know Napster, but didn't know they had spoken out against it. Ah well.)
"spoke out against" is an understatement:
* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic…
* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dre#…
...besides contributing to the eventual shut down of napster, Metallica first compelled it to ban hundreds of thousands of their fans - who's usernames they delivered to them. Lars Ulrich responded to the backlash by saying "If you'd stop being a Metallica fan because I won't give you my music for free, then fuck you. I don't want you to be a Metallica fan."

As a Ukrainian I can confidently say that those people resisting the lawful mobilization efforts by our legitimate and democratic president Mr. Zelenskyi are definitely all Russian agents.
You can actually prove it with pure logic!
As we all know from watching reliable sources like CNN - Russia literally tortures and massacres everyone on the territories they illegally capture! Dying in a war protecting the last democratic bastion against invading orcs is surely a better option than getting massacred by those evil orcs (like it happened in every city captured by them), right? So the only ones who disagree are Russian agents who will be spared.
Now you see, stupid tankies?
“Mobilisation is a mandatory form of military service, and citizens have an obligation to defend their country. This is probably why there is such a negative attitude towards the drafting offices: because, to put it bluntly, our function is to force a citizen to do his duty.”

Well there's two different things that people who relate to this picture may want: either the nature or the solitude (sometimes both); for the second, part of the fantasy is that they would never have to deal with anyone.
In reality what people want may be completely different, but the picture passes the message better.
either the nature or the solitude
i think this is why i don't get it: growing up in the middle of nowhere taught me that nature can fuck you over in an instant multiple times and living in suburbia gave me a cold & painful dose of reality when it comes to solitude.
i suppose it looks nice if you've never experienced enough of the dark sides of nature and solitude.
I used to live alone in the forest like that and I loved it. I can’t wait to move back.
Yeah, nature can fuck me over but as long as I don’t have to deal with anyone I’ll manage.
nature isn't as bad as people; you can atleast try to prepare of it.
out in the middle of nowhere, people can and do make sure that you can't prepare for them.
Sad part living next to ppl in city with hoa feels like a prison.
The awful air
Mugging
Packages stolen
Noise
Never see a tree or stars
Can't do jack all without gossiping hens
Etc
Humans need a good balance but many just want to see if grass is greener on other side.
Humans need a good balance but many just want to see if grass is greener on other side.
this makes the most sense to me because that's what i did. life had taught me that being queer, autistic and brown is boring AF in urban enough environments; but it REALLY makes those hens gossip in the country side and the ppl forcing you to conform because they refuse accept your true expression of yourself is a prison of its own. to make matters worse: that 1 factory; 4 MASSIVE beef & pork farms; and plantation that employ 80% of the population will fuck up your air & water worse than the city thanks to a friendly local government that gives them passes. having to drive 5 hours to the nearest water source, to spend another 2 hours filling up, and then another 5 hour drive back every month is galling when there's a natural stream nearby that the local gov't makes illegal to take from.
i wanted to see if the grass was greener in the core of several cities and found that, yes, very much so for someone like me.
You write about (a quite shitty) reality, but the picture is somewhat of a dream, everyone is projecting their own wishes all around it. Running water, electricity, in the vicinity of supermarket/restaurant/pharmacy… it’s all there, in magic country land.
I am also a city person. I love disconnecting for holidays, but then I am back with similar minded friends, in a city with all city commodities and I don’t think I would switch.
Yeah this is why I’d like to be close enough to civilization to have city water.
But if you actually threaten my family’s right to stay alive, you just lost yours. I have no qualms about being a psychopath if I have to.
Just leave me the fuck alone.
the ticks have gotten so bad in recent years, it's actually a main reason I wouldn't want to move farther out from the city.
my dogs are too low to the ground and too fluffy to find the many ticks on them after being outside. hell they get ticks even inside city limits (in the green spaces) here.
we stopped taking a wonderful forest route at my parents' with them because it's just not worth finding ticks on them over the next 48 hours and having them crawl out onto you at night

Edit: I meant that you don't need A/C in a cottage like the one pictured, not that A/C is unnecessary altogether. I used to live in Texas. No A/C will literally kill you in Texas, but in a wooded mountain cottage surrounded by trees like that, you don't really need it. In my house in WY, the hottest it ever gets inside is 78 with low humidity. Below is the current temp in my room, with computers running, at 2:22PM.
I live in the U.K., no one has AC. Some people will say you don’t need AC. If it was free, or even reasonably affordable, and easy, do you know what I’ve had this summer?
Edit; edited for clarity.
I also live in the UK. The last few years I’ve been tempted to buy a portable AC. Just as I go to spend £300, the weather turns and I decide to spend money on other stuff (like food)
We had that heat wave just after Easter this year, much earlier than I remember, that was the final straw. Bought one on marketplace for £180.
Every night going to bed the sheets are crisp and cool. I sleep like a baby.
The biggest downside? Damn those things are pricey to run
You don’t need A/C.
Eh, it's REALLY nice to have right now with daytime highs in the upper 90s. It's even nicer when it's both hot and humid.

So do I.

No you don't Wyoming doesn't exist. Garfield told me so.
Yeah, no.
While you might not need it, everyone has a different temperature tolerance and for some people, it is absolutely a requirement.
You don't need AC now.
I live in Vancouver Canada, and up until like 2005 none of the lower density developments (townhouses and low rise apartments) had air conditioning because no one really needed it. Our townhouse for example even has windows that aren't compatible with window air conditioners and no one minded until fairly recently. All that's changed really quickly and now everyone is scrambling for air conditioning with heat waves getting worse every year.
Me, living in Wyoming with gigabit fibre:
Yes it's a bit of a flex but I sold everything I owned in order to own a humble old house here and I am proud of it. Cow poop walls? No regrets.
Aha! I suspected you'd comment.
Can confirm, the internet here is decent and it's pretty far from people
Nothing consistent. I probably should pick a spot and do a roll-up of the last four years and then post more regularly. I did a little summary about a year ago here --> lemmy.ca/post/16843909/7896562
Since then we actually have installed a deep well, washer/dryer, and two more outbuildings. I'll try to reply to your comment in the next few days with more details if you are interested.
I also post completely randomly as Bo7a@loops.video and mstdn.ca/@solace

Would like a variant on this, the bugs and darkness of the woods would drive me insane:
- On a field, farming optional
- Add a soldering station, solar panels, well with pump, and septic tank
- Perimeter tripwires and defense (nobody's coming to help if something happens)
- Tornado shelter with medical supplies and a healthy supply of 3D filament
And I'll finally be able to complete everything on my bucket list that doesn't involve travelling.

The spiders tend to stay out of the house. But everything outside the house?
Yeah, spiders own that.
We get maybe 2 or 3 spiders in here every summer, and they get relocated. (unless they are on the ceiling above the bed, then they get dispatched.
I went and had a pile of kids so I have to do it everyday. Oh my god I’m tired.
And what was I thinking?
We have to kids and cook every day. We have about 12 dishes we cycle through, plus a new dish every couple of weeks. Plan for a week and shop for it accordingly.
Before the kids i would go to the local supermarket, that, regardless of the city i lived in, never was more than 10 Minutes away by foot. I'd figure out what i was feeling like cooking once i was
But it is nice to have other options, like ordering food, for the very lazy and very stressful days. This i would give up for a nice place in nature though.
You don’t understand actual honest to god hermits then.
My wisdom tooth is going to kill me because I’d rather die than have someone touch me. I’m not kidding.
I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.
But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I'm not the best example
I did see a guy make a cooler with a cistern, pump and radiator. Water in the cistern/well is cold most of the year. Guess you just have to drain it in the winter, but yeah I'd say batteries can be a money sink.
Also I did kill a lot of batteries by hooking them in parallel to a bad 12v battery, buuut that's just me saying battery system can go for a lot
If you live in the wilderness, you should have a boat.
Edit: yes I'm pretty sure I can order a boat for delivery, but if not you can always make something.

What does that even mean?
You can make a case both are worse than China
Feel free to make that case and present it to me.

I would, but with electricity, water and no kids. You could with determination live alone here, but it's far from simple.
Fetching enough wood, harvesting (it takes heavy labor in a forest), protecting your food from wild animals, baking your products, like soap, clothes, maintaining you cabin, preparing and surviving winter, and i only covered a tiny part of everything.
But if you're truly ready, life like that can become a great source of happiness. Got that from a old local forest guard who tried to live like that for one year.
I did it for nearly 3 years with limited access.
You get over it eventually and start living life instead of watching other people live theirs.
I can't wait to unplug again.
A friend inherited off-grid property. I was already into the idea of homesteading and survivalism and had been building those skills sets for years. What started as a little bit of helping on the weekends turned into full time living. I didn't think I could do it and it was hard.
But now I know what I'm capable of and how much nicer life is when you live it. I've been back in regular society for a few years and my phone is still on 'do not disturb' mode all the time.
Yeah i have notifications silenced as they are a stupid distraction.
I have a tablet for work that I rarely use so I leave it for the kids to play on. Everytime i look at it there is hundreds of notifications from games they play. How are the kids meant to get anything done if they keep getting interrupted.
This right here. Just disappear into the woods and forget about the doomscroll in its entirety.
If one day you wake up in your cabin to a bright flash in the sky so be it, and least you had a good life.
May - blackflies
June - mosquitoes and blackflies
July - mosquitoes and deer flies
August - mosquitoes, deer flies, and horse flies
September - All of the above, and start to worry about stuff freezing.
October - Whew, I can finally work outside
November - Start the fire, and keep it going until April.
Ok where I live it's :
Jan - snow and first sunrise of the year
Feb - snow
Mar - snow
April - snow
May - snow followed by two weeks of thaw, last sunset for 2 months and one week of spring
Jun - warm but no bugs
Jul - where has all my blood gone (mosquitoes and horsefly) sun starts setting again
Aug - same exsanguination issues as July
SEP - too cold for bugs lol
Oct - snow
Nov - Snow last sunrise of the year
Dec - snow
A composting toilet is all I want and need.
- No clogging
- No splashing
- No waste of water
- No smell
I always hate to use a plumbed toilet when we visit friends or family.
1 stick to put your pants on and second one to fight off bears while u poop?
We basically have this in Ireland. Only instead of a log cabin its an old cottage in the middle of nowhere.
An old cottage with a gigabit connection.
Yeah my Father in Law basically has this… but significantly nicer (4bed, 4bath, full kitchen, running spring water, off-grid solar+batteries), up a mountain, surrounded by pine trees, with StarLink internet.
It’s amazing when we can go visit for a week or 2
For me and my friends it would be a bunch of small close islands, and then one larger community island in the middle.
I'm thinking something like in Sweden's Skärgård, where there are lots of such islands.
Nah the internet sucks no matter where you live. That cottage with a closed network or something like Secure Scuttlebutt/Manyverse in a little village would be cool though. The town library can have gigabit internet (for downloading media) and a shared local Jellyfin (& calibre, Navidrome, audiobookshelf, etc) server that can be accessed by anyone in town.
Want to play Live Service or online games? To the library.

Amazon requires gov-ID photo before refund.
So I bought a product for €200 on Amazon.com. I am slightly ashamed of doing so but I did, didn't know where else to find this type of product. So after a few days they told me they would not be sending me the product for whatever reason. So I would be getting a refund. They said if I hadn't gotten the refund within 5 days I should contact support. So after 5 days I contacted support. And as soon as I did that, they sent me an email claiming that they require me to upload a picture of my "government issued identity document". They write that if I don't do that "You may continue shopping on Amazon, but you will no longer be eligible for a refund on the order ". Surely they have no right to do so right? They claim they've noticed some suspicious behavior on my account, but all I did was order a product, pay for it in advance, which they decided not to ever deliver to me. It's not me who's being suspicious here.
Anyone else had this experience? This a clear dealbreaker for me. I feel shame for ever having bought something from their store.

Chase bank is a scam. Minimum balance of 1500 or 500 direct deposit monthly or that charge 12 dollars a month to have an account. They bill it yearly. So when 144 comes out of your account randomly and you call removed. That's when they tell you.
Fuck chase bank.
Amazon has a non-existent customer support, so you may have limited options.
If they had customer support, I'd suggest contacting them and tell them to either refund, or else you'd give them the ID immediately followed by a GDPR request to purge your data. That might have gotten some movement, because those GDPR requests have the force of law, and are also a fair PITA for Amazon. However, there's no way to give them a shot across the bow. I think your options are:
- process a charge-back, as someone else suggested, which might result in an Amazon ban
- take the loss (that's entirely your call, regardless of anyone else's opinion)
- give them the ID, get your refund
- you can still initiate a GDPR purge request. I'm going to guess it's going to result in a block, but maybe not. You might be able to recreate your account
The happy news is that you are protected by GDPR. Many of us are not, and don't even have the option to demand they purge the information.
I’m not sure how “suspicious behavior” could be relevant to a seller issuing you a refund.
"suspicious behavior" is just a BS term used for switching the blame back to the consumer. Kind of like "for your convenience, we are [removing a capability]" or "for your safety, we are [taking away a right.]" You are correct that it makes no sense.
(unless you go beg for mercy at the altar of Bezos)
The "one time one free gift" from amazon policy !
Won’t that blacklist your address from ever buying from amazon
So, win-win.
I recommend a very high quality laser projector !
Do not stop contacting Amazon customer support. Occupy their resources to the maximum.
Phone > Chat > Email
Record time spend and demand immediate compensation at your billing rate. Never accept contacting them back again at a later date.
Always demand their names, transcripts and email confirmation of any promises with exact match wording and check before hanging up. Then, use their own words against them.
That would vary from one jurisdiction to another, but I'm sure you can find guides best suited for your local laws.
As inspiration, here's what I sent to Amazon & Samsung last year (in a formal cease & desist format):

WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Dear Madam or Sir,
I purchased a Samsung 980 PRO SSD 2TB drive (model MZ-V8P2T0) on Amazon .ca on March 3, 2022, which broke on April 4, 2024. This product was used under normal conditions, and I believe it should be covered by the manufacturer’s 5-year warranty.
Several chat sessions with Amazon and Samsung support have failed to provide a solution, with each party referring the matter to the other.
I am requesting that you repair or exchange the product under the Consumer Protection Act regarding the legal warranty of the reasonable durability of a product. I am also requesting reimbursement of $25 to cover the cost of sending this letter.
Therefore, I am formally notifying you to resolve the above-mentioned issue within 10 days. Failing to do so may result in legal action against you without further notice or delay.
Lemon, ginger and lemon balm beer
Happy days! My new beer is done. This is a battle-tested recipe with lemons and ginger. This time I also had 10 g of fresh lemon balm in the seasoning infusion. This guy:
Works really great as a beer component, sharing to spotlight this herb with you all! There's a Wikipedia page that describes the many aromatic compounds it imparts. It's perennial (pic is from my garden), grows in a slightly invasive manner so you only need to plant very little to get enough for many brews. This was a warning 😀
Another new twist was a helping of Weyermann spelt wheat malt. I expected the nutty spelt flavour from it, but the taste profile ended up so multi-faceted that I'll need more tastings to pinpoint it 😁 All in all, a distinctive flavour to this beer. Fermented to bone dry very smoothly.

Nice, Ill keep lemon balm in mind.
How big was this batch?
do you filter the beer at all when bottling?
Is your lemon balm separated from the rest of your garden or do you keep an eye on it and remove as needed?
How much longer do you ferment beer to get the dryness? I've fermented wine, but it rarely made it long enough to get rid of all the excess sugar.
Also for beer you have some unfermentable sugars, so you can't achieve driness by just fermenting, you have to use enzymes to break them down completely to fermentable ones.
So scientifically speaking it is dependent on the "substrate" (what you ferment) and yeasts.
As the others said, it comes down to how much alcohol the yeast will ultimately tolerate, if there is enough fermentable sugar to get to that point. I still don't do og / fg's, so my 'bone dry' was not a measured outcome, only perceived. I'm type 1 diabetic so I prefer no leftover sugar in my brews 😀
In this case, six days of fermentation followed by a hasty cold crash of two days was enough. The yeasties at work were a standard Finnish fresh yeast, 0,25 € at any grocery store and known to produce 10+ % ABV sahti brews. Speed comes from having a fair bit (25 g) of yeast in there and making a starter with it. I also ferment under pressure and at the cool-ish temp of 16 °C. There is 23 L of the stuff with 6,7 kg of malt, pretty strong stuff.
I filter the wort into the fermenter with reusable coffee filters. The fermenter doubles as a keg, so I only bottle on demand.
The lemon balm is in a garden bed, so yeah, I do battle with it. Hence the warning 😁 It makes good pesto too, so the battle is not too bad XD
Great idea! We're overrun with Lemon Balm!
How did you extract the flavour? Did you add it to the boil or make a vodka tincture or something?
In fact I'd really be up for trying this out if you'd care to share your recipe?
Absolutely! On mobile so I'll make this tight...
Mash is 18 L water, 6,7 kg of mostly blond malts, including 1 kg of Weyermann Spelt and 1 kg of Simpsons Premium English Cara for a little sweetness. 60 min BIAB mashing with strike temp at 71,2 °C.
Then there's the infusion: 3 L water heated to boil, off the hob, in with ingredients and let sit with lid on. This had 2 large organic lemons sliced thin, one smallish ginger sliced thin, 10 g lemon balm leaves and growth tips, 30 g Simcoe and 30 g Amarillo hops (pellets). It had about an hour and half to infuse.
One more thing was the yeast starter - 2 L water, 1 dL white sugar, 1 dL sugarcane syrup, pinch of yeast nutrient. Extra sugar there to feed the starter and offset the diluting effect of 5 L water added on top of the mashing.
Boiled the wort for 50 min, added 60 g Challenger hops at 45 min to go. The 3 L infusion went into the boil at about 10 min to go, flame up to allow a little boiling for that too.
One thing I might have changed in hindsight is a little less of the Amarillo and Simcoe in the infusion to leave more room for the lemony notes.
Would be great to hear how it went if you try this 😀
