I just noticed @googlefonts has an account on https://typo.social, is this the only "official" Google account here?

Never give up! Even a chonky kitty can make an impact...

Questrial, designed by Joe Prince and Laura Meseguer

During colonial times, European colonial powers in Africa made their languages the official ones. Many African languages still lack typographic support, making it hard to write them correctly due to missing letters and diacritics in most fonts.
In post-colonial times and to address the lack of open source fonts for African languages, @googlefonts gave me the task of expanding Questrial for that purpose

@activitypub
Bug report? ActivityPub wrinkles

Hey, thanks for the awesome ActivityPub support!

It has been working great so far on our forum at fbrc.nodebb.com, with two exceptions. I don't know if these are bugs or if they fall in NodeBB scope or not, figured I'd report them here:

1. Alt text not transferring to Mastodon. This post has alt text in NodeBB (I think), it's not showing up when viewed via Mastodon web UI: https://fbrc.nodebb.com/topic/5/micro-update

I’m curious about the possibility of using a NodeBB account as my main account for accessing and interacting with the fediverse.

One strength with forums I see is that they are more community- and interest oriented. They often have a clearer purpose.

My engagements with the world are different. I have many interests and different engagements. My “World” category reflects that.

I don’t want to move things from World into the forum that hosts my account if that conversation doesn’t fit the focus of the forum.

But I do want to structure my world more, if I want to use my NodeBB account as my main handle on the fediverse.

I can’t organize World right now.

Could I make a group on the forum with only me as member and then populate threads in different categories? I guess so. It would be a lot of categorizing.

More ideal would be if I could subscribe to categories on other NodeBB forums and then those categories would show even on my own instance - but just for me! Other folks on my instance haven’t asked for that.

Say I’m interested in the @activitypub@community.nodebb.org category and would like to follow all new topics. I can subscribe to that category and get it into my world. A better solution would be that the category is there in my personal interface on my instance to organize the topics for me. Just like they do on the original instance where the category lives.

I’m writing this topic from the “Uncategorized” category of our own NodeBB forum. It’s an example of me not knowing how I can start conversations on other NodeBB forums without having to create a new account on that forum (which then defeats the federation feature) or create that topic from an unrelated category on our own forum, which would then become spam.

Hi @julian@community.nodebb.org! Sorry to revive such an old thread. Is this still the case with nodebb 4 with ActivityPub? I vaguely remember that in other ActivityPub software it’s somewhat problematic to change hostname.

Why I Write

#ThingsYouCantUnsay

I write because I’m #trans, and every trans voice matters. I doubt that I have novel things to say; I nod to the socialists, I repeat my trans siblings, I retread the ground feminists have walked, I find markers left by people of color, and I know I’m not alone. I do not seek to break new ground. I seek to hold ground, ground that was taken from us. To hold space and memory. To leave behind a record of who I was, of what I knew, of why I fought, of how I loved, and of the lies I was told, so that those who come after me will know they are not alone.

I won’t bore you by making the point that not all voices matter, that cis voices who babble
platitudes offer nothing to liberation and allies who push us aside to speak for us do so without regard for the cliffs they shove us over. I’ll trust you learned from Black voices. I know I’m still trying to learn from them.

But fascists know trans voices matter. The patriarchy knows; capitalists and racists know. They know what a threat self-actualization is.

It’s how I’ve come to understand the importance of valuing any trans voice that speaks, and why it’s important to add my voice. Our stories are brilliant spotlights shined into the darkness of the lies used to keep our siblings from knowing themselves. Each time we speak, it is a spell of curse-breaking. Our lives are resistance. Our stories are beacons lit by crystallized memories of our lives.

I write because let’s face it, even better than ruining a transphobe’s day with my joy is ruining many of their days with records of my joy.

And I write so that when I’m dead, trans people will know what I had to do to be myself. I cannot tell them how to be themselves. But perhaps I can show them what I did, and why.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the launch of the first wiki by Ward Cunningham. A page that anyone could edit. Right from the browser. It was generally seen as a bad idea. What if people did bad things?

Originally to support the software development community in creating a repository of software design patterns, wikis were later used for many other goals (even an encyclopedia!), and became part of Web 2.0, together with blogs, fora and social media.

Thank you, Ward!

Pixelfed before v0.12.5 has a vulnerability where it could leak your private posts, regardless of whether you are a Pixelfed user or not.
Admins should update ASAP.

When following someone from a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do that. This enables features like locked accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers. If a legitimate user from a Pixelfed instance follows you on your locked account, anyone on that Pixelfed instance can read your private posts.

I wrote a blog post about how I found the vulnerability, how disclosure coordination went and general ramblings about Fediverse safety:

Nice post with some good tips on Digital Hygiene.

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

@mihobuMichael Burkhardt 🇺🇦 oh that looks cool but way out of my budget!

Uh, is it normal for an automated #security scanner to be unaware of #debian patched packages?

Like how OpenSSH 9.2p1 is vulnerable to CVE-2023-38408 but the Debian version 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u5 is patched. But the security scanner sees the "9.2p1" string and sounds the alarm.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-38408

Is this a common problem for people running Debian servers?
