No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I have my browser set to clear everything when it's closed. Both on mobile and on desktop. I would never have it any other way. God forbid someone hacked your PC....can you imagine of they had access to your browser that was logged into every single major account?
It's definitely a potential security issue, but I don't really think it's realistically a large one. Hell, a keylogger would probably be worse for you than for me because I hardly ever actually enter passwords.

Then you get the dumb websites saying “we don’t recognize this device.” I can’t stand that. Especially while I’m using Passkeys to log in, like how are you this paranoid as a web developer not to realize that?
I’m a web developer myself armed with a VPN, and I’m tired of being hassled on others’ websites. Security based solely on IP address is lame.
Well, that's why I have a strong user password and disk encryption :)
Even if they were able to login, I use a heavily customized window manager, keyboard-shortcuts based, and unless they really knew what they were doing, they wouldn't even know how to start the browser :))
Anyway, I get it could be a security issue, but I use so many websites daily, for both work and private... All (almost) with 2FA/TOTP, too. I would go nuts if I had to re-authenticate every time I restarted my browser.
I do take a few measures for privacy. I use separate workspaces for private/work and container tabs, separated for generic/work/amazon/google etc. I also have a few extensions that block ads, trackers, cookies, social integrations, etc. I don't use any social platform (except lemmy). When I create an account on a website, I use a random/dedicated email account and/or username, with an obscene password that I will never know/see, my password manager handles that.
I work from home, and in my network I use a custom DNS setup, with firewall rules to force DNS requests to only go through my router (no direct connections from hardcoded ips). As an upstream DNS, I use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.2/1.0.0.2, adding yet an extra filter. No ports are opened on my network, no remote access possible. For downloading Linux isos, I have a private VPN connection to a buddy in another country.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my setup is unbreakable, there are people out there with the skillset to take anything down. I don't think I upset anyone that much though :)
If anyone has any ideas on how to be more secure, while not getting inconvenienced, I would love to hear them!
Everything important with the exception of a single email address that probably can't do that much damage anyway is auto logged out. My bank, being only 90% fucking stupid forces a logout after 5minutrs of inactivity on their web portal.
It's be annoying to reset all my passwords, that's about it.
