  • and your phone only has one number… right?

    Dual-SIM phones are a thing and have been for a LONG time. They’re not as common in the US (where I’m assuming you’re from given you aren’t familiar with dual-SIM phones) but even my S22 supports it, and I think even iPhones come with it stock now. A lot of people use two SIM cards for a multitude of reasons, and so many people have two numbers. Heck, some phones even support three SIM cards.

    Dig they bring out a PC client yet btw?

    It’s been out for a long time now. You have to set it up on your phone first but then you install the application on your computer, scan a QR code to link it, and at that point you can just disable notifications on your phone if you don’t want them.









  • DDOS is a pretty brute-force attack, so it isn’t typically relying on a vulnerability per se. Pretty much the only way to mitigate it is to have large enough infrastructure that you can detect and filter out its gobs of spammy traffic, which no Lemmy instances (at least at the moment) can really practically have. They could potentially use a service like CloudFlare, which does have that infrastructure in place, but that can be expensive. I’d imagine CloudFlare (or a competitor) is probably the best solution they can go with, at least in the short-term.
