"Post titles " in RSS display characters incorrectly - Lemmy.World

I’ve noticed this for a while and I’m not sure what the word for it is, but the encoding of certain characters is broken for post titles in RSS/XML for me. For example the title for this post https://lemmy.world/post/26952497 [https://lemmy.world/post/26952497] in RSS is: > MMO scholar puts a $500 bounty on old versions of RuneScape as part of a community archive project: ＆quot;You might have ALL of the game**＆#x27;s lost versions!＆quot;** I use FreshRSS but it looks like this in the raw RSS output which you can get from the RSS button on the homepage. Does anyone else have this?

"Please do not write to me from anonymous 'proton' email or similar addresses" - Lemmy.World

thought you guys would find this blog post from Brian Leiter [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Leiter] today funny. he’s a pretty good guy and a respected scholar so no shade on him, clearly just misinformed. i wonder if this is in some way downstream of the recent political drama around proton.

Excluding shorts from Youtube RSS feeds in FreshRSS, regardless of #shorts in the title - Lemmy.World

this is a really underdocumented feature that this extension supports, wanted to share it with people. i’ve never written and shared a blog post like this before so feel free to give me tips about documenting steps or point out any errors i made. i kinda take docker knowldge for granted, not sure if i should avoid that. here’s the contents: — I came across documentation for this in the readme for the FreshRSS extension YoutubeChannel2RssFeed [https://github.com/cn-tools/cntools_FreshRssExtensions/tree/master/xExtension-YouTubeChannel2RssFeed#documentation]. The method involves running an instance of the Youtube-operational-API [https://github.com/Benjamin-Loison/YouTube-operational-API] (there was a public instance that has been cease and desisted by Google, see here [https://yt.lemnoslife.com/#YouTube_shutting_down_email]) and plugging the extension into it. ## YoutubeChannel2RssFeed Extension TL;DR install this extension [https://github.com/cn-tools/cntools_FreshRssExtensions/tree/master/xExtension-YouTubeChannel2RssFeed#documentation] git clone https://github.com/cn-tools/cntools_FreshRssExtensions.git cd cntools_FreshRssExtension cp -r xExtension-YouTubeChannel2RssFeed <your_freshrss_data_directory>/config/www/freshrss/extensions ## Youtube-operational-API instance Here’s a Docker compose.yml for running both services: freshrss: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/freshrss:latest container_name: freshrss environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=America/Los_Angeles volumes: - ./freshrss/config:/config ports: - "8811:80"" restart: unless-stopped youtube-operational-api: container_name: freshrss-yt-o-api image: benjaminloison/youtube-operational-api:latest restart: unless-stopped ports: - "8812:80" depends_on: - freshrss ## Configuring extension In FreshRSS, log in as admin and go to Configuration > Extensions. Turn on YoutubeChannel2RssFeed under User extensions and click the gear to configure. Set Youtube Shorts to be marked as read or blocked completely. Enter the URL for your yt-o-api instance. Based on the above compose file it would be http://freshrss-yt-o-api:8812. Submit changes. For me this worked immediately, no shorts ever show up in FreshRSS for my Youtube feeds. I haven’t seen this documented anywhere else so I wanted to mirror it somewhere.

Services for removing your data from public databases - Lemmy.World

Last year I did a major fuckup and bought a .us domain without noticing that they don’t support WhoIs privacy, so my name number and address became part of the public WhoIs database scrapes. Since then my spam texts and calls have vastly multiplied. I’m realistic about the fact that the damage is done and it’ll always exist out there, but I would happily pay some money to a service that sends takedown requests for the data in the public databases like LexisNexis etc. to lessen the damage. Do you know of any services that do this somewhat reliably? Or even a guide or something about doing this manually?

Separate 2FA OTP app from my password manager - Lemmy.World

Do you think it’s worth keeping 2FA OTPs in a separate source from your password manager? Currently I keep them in Bitwarden. I was thinking keeping them separate could add a little extra security in case my BW was cracked, but not sure it’s worth the hassle of loading a second app for logins. Do you know of an app that does 2FAs as conveniently as Bitwarden, in that it has mobile apps, browser extension, etc that can all access the same vault? here’s one i came across from an awesome-selfhosted list. i would need to test the PWA experience https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth [https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth]
