If you follow anyone from the Mastodon instance oldfriends.live they seem to be having some major problems at the moment.
They're reaching out asking for help from anyone who feels like they're enough of a #PostgresQL expert to help them troubleshoot what sounds like major database issues.

(tl;dr: for the common case where a malicious crate has no actual usage; we're no longer going to publish blog posts, but you can always get advisories via RustSec)

@janlJan Lehnardt 
Right? Attribution is actually extremely common, even if it’s not universally followed. It says something about this person’s statement that he doesn’t seem to know that.
@misty @janlJan Lehnardt I have had PRs taken from me, rewritten, and submitted under someone else's name - with zero credit - multiple times. This is something I will literally rage quit a project over.
Merge my PRs so I can show the commit hash to someone. Make your modifications to my version so people can see your changes.
Anything else is just as blatant of theft of IP, and worse, because it removes my potential jobs down the road.

In an internal document reviewed by The Times, Meta says it will launch the feature “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Passing this story around today and everyone's going "what the actual fuck?" and it's making it so hard not to be that guy going "damn, I guess I wasn't just being a wet blanket when I've been telling y'all for years that Meta is straight-up cartoon-villain-style fucking evil and we should do something about it."
"Why are you running MariaDB on NFS? Why not simply a Redis?"
"But the Redis doesn't persist properly."
"Exactly, just like a database on NFS."

I want to go back in time and tell the small band of norwegian sailors who briefly set up a boat repair shop on a remote section of newfoundland that, in 1200 years, random guys with wraparound sunglasses will base their entire personality around them

今日は友人と戸狩までスキーへ⛷️
are there any fediverse projects using more than one type of federation?
what are some good resources for implementing activitypub validly?
what languages should i learn?
what are good ways to test web application security on the cheap before deployment?
anything more i should be worried about?
i'm good at c, python and that's about it.
