Hello world,

Today we are starting an April Fools charity event called: Lemmy Silver! accessible to all users of Lemmy with an account made before today (also non-world users!).

From now on, every 24 hours, you can comment !lemmysilver under any post in participating communities (see: this post for more information), or send a PM to this bot account with (!lemmysilver [username]) to award the poster points. We will keep a score depending on the amount of votes you send and receive. More details can be found in this post.

In this post we will keep a live leaderboard. At the end of April the users with the highest score will get these prizes:

1. €150 to a charity of choice
2. €100 to a charity of choice
3. €75 to a charity of choice
4. €50 to a charity of choice
5. €25 to a charity of choice

If you are a moderator and want to add your community to the whitelist, type !whitelistsilver in the comments or in a PM to the bot account to whitelist all the communities you moderate, or send a PM to me (Thekingoflorda).

The prize fund is made up by personal donations from members of the admin team and the moderation team, no money from the Fedihosting Foundation is used for this event. If you want to contribute to the prize fund, please send me a PM.

We also made a little survey for this event, so if you have 2 minutes, please fill it out: https://app.formbricks.com/s/cm8x96xjc022vvt01xr0z9tdp

Feel free to leave any feedback here in the comments, in !LemmySilver@lemmy.world or by sending them to my PMs. The bot's PM will probably not be read. Please be honest, but respectful and keep the TOS in mind.

Thank you everyone! Hope you have fun.

PS. The bot might be a bit unstable in the beginning, so please send all your complaints my way so I can fix the inevitable bugs.

Greetings everyone,

We wanted to take a moment and let everyone know about the !business@lemmy.world community on Lemmy.World which hasn't gained much traction. Additionally, we've noticed occasional complaints about Business-related news being posted in the Technology community. To address this, we want to encourage our community members to engage with the Business community.

While we'll still permit Technology-related business news here, unless it becomes overly repetitive, we kindly ask that you consider cross-posting such content to the Business community. This will help foster a more focused discussion environment in both communities.

We've interacted with the mod team of the Business community, and they seem like a dedicated and welcoming group, much like the rest of us here on Lemmy. If you're interested, we encourage you to check out their community and show them some support!

Let's continue to build a thriving and inclusive ecosystem across all our communities on Lemmy.World!

Seems that a lot of us have some funny Unity memes, which have been getting removed due to Rule 7.

Making this post and pinning it for everyone to share their Unity memes about this whole fiasco, please only comment the memes here, if you make a post with one it will be removed.

Hey everyone!

We have decided to do a banner and logo contest, here is how to participate:

1. Any submission must be commented below in its own thread, that way they are easy for everyone to find. Any top level comments that are not a submission will be removed, commenting on submissions thread is allowed.
2. Everyone can vote on the ones listed below to help the decision, but the mods will pick their favorites and make a separate post for the community to vote on.
3. Obviously the design must be tech/news related, all art forms welcome, and please no NSFW. You can submit just a banner, or just a logo, or both if you wish!
4. Winner will get sidebar acknowledgement and bragging rights. If multiple designs are liked by the community, we will most likely cycle threw a few different banners/logos throughout the year and give each credit on the sidebar.
5. Anything Elon Musk will be launched by Space-X directly into the sun at the speed of light.
6. Be excellent to each other!

Any questions can be messaged to either @enu@lemm.ee or myself!

Hey everybody, feel free to post any tech support or general tech discussion questions you have right here.

As always, be excellent to each other.

Yours truly, moderators.

[EDIT]: This is actually a scam.

Not sure if this is normal, created a sub 4 months ago. But yesterday I signed into Reddit to check if an admin has replied to a request I made and saw this, which was a little bizarre to me with everything going on...

My company is just starting to utilize O365 email encryption for sensitive information, which I know a lot of people are already using.

One thing we've run into is when sending a sensitive email to a third-party vendor, a lot of them utilize shared mailboxes/distribution groups, so the encryption is not allowing the members of the external mailbox/group to open the encrypted email as their account doesn't have permissions (the group email address does, instead of their individual account).

The only way I've come up with to solve this issue is setting the encrypted emails to not allow a "social" sign-on for decryption, and instead only offer "send a one-time passcode" as the authentication method, then the group/mailbox receives the code to view the email.

Curious how others have combatted this issue if they've crossed it, this feature has been around a while and I am unable to find much on Google about it specifically.

For the moment, users are just re-sending the encrypted email to the external recipient that replies "We can't open this email", which solves the problem but creates more work and takes longer for everyone.

Twitch is replacing the mature content toggle with content classification labels so viewers can make 'informed choices'.

A few years ago I had a couple old and slow Optiplex's running Hyper-V, with Windows/Linux VM's, doing things like NPS, AD, etc.

Had some old equipment collecting dust, so I've built out a decent homelab and am curious if anyone else has done the same, and if so what are they running on them for fun?

In my new "rack":

• PowerEdge R430
  • Running ProxMox, with a Windows VM (DC), and a Linux VM with Docker for Plex
• EqualLogic PS4100
  • VM storage for both PowerEdge servers (10TB)
• Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 250w
• PowerEdge R720
  • Running ProxMox, with some Linux VM's, most utilizing Docker for Plex "assistance/automations" (ahem), NextCloud for phone photo backup and wife's photography, and another DC as a failover of R430's DC.
