  • Right now, this feature is client specific. Some have it ( like Sync ), most dont.

    The happy news is , a serverside option to block an instance is already merged and will be available in next (big) Lemmy upgrade 19.0. After that, the client apps will easily be able to implement it ( Now, i guess they are just filtering posts client side if from that instance )

    Since that post was’nt available for me atm, just reposting relevant Github blog : 1-Click RCE on GNOME

    The TL;DR

    libcue is a library used for parsing cue sheets—a metadata format for describing the layout of the tracks on a CD. it’s used by tracker-miners: an application that’s included with GNOME.The index is automatically updated when you add or modify a file in certain subdirectories of your home directory, in particular including ~/Downloads. To make a long story short, that means that inadvertently clicking a malicious link is all it takes for an attacker to exploit CVE-2023-43641 and get code execution on your computer.
