  • 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.










  • @mossy_capivara@midwest.social I have a genuine doubt and I swear if you convince me I will pay for Notesnook because I really wanted to pay for it a while ago.

    I used Notesnook for a long time but I used it before they made the basic (unpaid) version more restrictive, where you couldn’t even put a code block without being asked to pay, but before that and after I have used Joplin + Nextcloud and I can say it’s reasonably good but what I don’t like about Joplin is that it doesn’t have background sync, do you happen to know if Notesnook has background sync or if they plan to?

    And another doubt, something I love about Joplin is that I create a notebook and I can create a notebook inside that notebook, but in Notesnook I don’t remember being able to do that and that is something uncomfortable for me. I mean, in my case let’s say I have a notebook called Windows without any notes, it’s just like a base to know where my other notes are organized and inside that notebook I create other notebooks that are where I actually write my notes, for example, I create a notebook called “CLI Programs”, “Open Source Programs”, “Closed Source Programs” and everything is organized in a very comfortable way because inside the Windows notebook I have those other notebooks, and then I create a Linux Notebook and do the same, but in Notesnook I can’t do that, how would you do that for example in Notesnook? I know I could just create a notebook called “Open Source Programs - Linux” and then another one called “Open Source Programs - Windows” but I really feel that would be a mess for the view, what I like about Joplin is that I can sort my notebooks inside others in a tree style. In my case, within “CLI Programs” each note is equivalent to a separate CLI program with its description and images, and I remember I had tried to replicate that in Notesnook by creating a single giant note called “Programs” where I mixed the different categories but it was a disaster honestly.
