Not do downplay this issue, but based on the description, OP had a valid session cookie, and was updating their profile to disable MFA since they lost the code. They weren’t brute forcing logging in.
I haven’t looked into the source code, maybe this is an instance by instance configuration, but login attempts are rate limited. After a few failed attempts, I started getting this message:
Lemmy Error: You’re being rate limited, wait a bit before trying that again.
Interesting, that’s not something I ever thought about. I just looked up the nameservers for .bb:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
bb. 86400 IN NS ns5.nic.bb.
bb. 86400 IN NS ns3.nic.bb.
bb. 86400 IN NS ns2.nic.bb.
bb. 86400 IN NS ns1.nic.bb.
bb. 86400 IN NS ns4.nic.bb.
bb. 86400 IN NS ns6.nic.bb.
It seems like ns1.nic.bb doesn’t resolve, and for 2-6, they’re all in either 64.68.192.0/20 or 64.119.192.0/20, so it does look like a small concentration in root nameservers which could be unavailable in a storm.
the warning for future tech founders is clear: Be careful when picking your top-level domain. Physical history is never as separate from our digital future as we like to think.
Kinda ironic this is published to a website with a .to ccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga.
The first one was pretty funny : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE-fykk
I use PWAs for Firefox and they work ok, although I don’t have the issue you mention. For me, in Ubuntu, if I open a link in a PWA for Google Chat, then the link opens in the PWA firefox window, not my main browser window. Maybe there’s a setting I missed?
Also, the PWA acts like a separate browser, so opening Google Chat requires you to log in again to Google on the same machine. And if you open up a paywalled link, and it opens in the PWA, then you have to log in, even if you’re logged in in Firefox.
Overall 5/7 rating on usability, but did allow me to get completely off of Chrome

public facing is fine
Not exactly, if it is something unintentionally public facing, that can get you charged with access a computer without authorization under the the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This happened in this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse_Security#AT&T/iPad_email_address_leak
sending a HTTP request with a valid ICC-ID embedded inside it to the AT&T website, the website would reveal the email address associated with that ICC-ID.
On November 20, 2012, Auernheimer was found guilty of one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization

This is the wrong approach.
People are having too many kids!
Heterosexuality is the problem. We need to tear sexuality and gender down.
FWIW this isn’t always true. A few months ago, I needed to add an email to my Zelle account on Chase, and had to call them. I initiated the call and they did issue a text message verification to the phone number in my account while on the phone to confirm.
Wow TIL about the use of underscore in an interactive session.

Sounds like someone accidentally created an account with your name. As someone who has firstname.lastname@gmail.com this happens a lot. About 10 years ago, amazon.ca allowed you to create an account and start using it without verifying control of the email address. I woke up one day and saw all orders someone made, their address, last 4 digits of their credit card number, etc. Customer service doesn’t care. Ended up having to reset their password to get them to stop.
Yeah, clearly the author doesn’t know about the Loch Ness monster
That was an excruciating interview to listen to. He started off kinda sounding sane, but as time went on, more of his fringe ideas started showing, culminating to that point.
