이번에 해킹됐으니까 유심 비밀번호 설정하라거나 보호서비스 하라거나 하는 내용들 좀 유해한 거 같아
효과 없는 보안조치는 안전하다고 착각하게 만든다는 점에서 오히려 위험한데...

Updated bug bounty stats, six years in:

520 reports
78 confirmed security vulnerabilities
104 "informative" reports, bugs that weren't vulnerabilities
11 marked as "AI slop"

The rest were just different kinds of not applicable. Some more crazy than others.

The latest confirmed curl vulnerability (CVE-2025-0725) was reported 90 days ago.

There is currently zero issues in our queue.

youtubeに中国黒竜江省哈爾浜市731部隊本部跡地を歩いて回って、ただただ撮影している映像があった。最初入る時に会話があるが、以降話し声などは一切ない。ただただ跡地内を巡る映像で聞こえて来るのは環境音と風の音と雪を踏みしめる足音だけ。

初めて敷地の広さを認識した。そんなあるんだなあ広いんだなあという感じに思えた。

Note for app developers 💻 the future Mastodon 4.4 release will contain an option for server admins to require a minimum age for user sign-up. If enabled, the sign-up API will behave differently. This is a change that some developers will need to know about, so we wanted to tell you about it in advance. More background in the discussion post on our repository. github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d

Got a chance to plug our lovely Fedi scene on BBC6Music!

You can listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0029y4j — the segment is around 1:06:20 in

Seeing more and more stuff around about leaving crappy Big Social. I think there’s a lot of curiosity about alternatives…

Someone just described my job to me:

So you work with people who are smarter than you and better and more capable at the whole thing your team is trying to do. And you just like… tell them what they already know, so that they notice what they already secretly knew but hadn't consciously realized was the right thing to do? And you help them plan to do that, and then just get out of their way and tell them what a good job they did after they do it?
And have never felt more seen or personally attacked.

This is also not quite the whole of my job. Sometimes I tell people what
other people they work with already know and understand so that they can make better choices. Sometimes I just write extremely high quality copy. Sometimes I tell people about problems (rather than opportunities) which they hadn't noticed yet. And sometimes I go to meetings or talk to outsiders or make decisions so that other people don't have to.

But mostly it's just giving people permission to be good at what they're already doing.

I've set up a Revolt account in anticipation of Discord going public, as that means a near inevitability of major enshitification. (Not that Discord is by any means not already sliding that direction, but third-party mods still make it tolerable.)

My Revolt handle is retromouse#2046 if anyone'd like to add me.

This is a graph of Discord’s algorithmically inferred gender (extracted from “request your data” json; axes are probability and days) for a user whose display name is “Tiffany”, whose bio is “she/her”, whose pfp is a drawing of a girl and whose profile theme color is pink.

Algorithmically inferred gender is worse than useless. Presumably the issue is that she talks about programming, and all the deliberate “I am explicitly telling you I am a girl” signaling in the world can’t convince a computer. I sometimes watch a livecoding streamer whose youtube stats claim his audience is 99% male even though you can see fem-coded chat participants regularly. Algorithms like this are deleting the women

a graph labeled “what discord thinks my gender is” where the male, female and nb lines all jump around and overlap constantly, creating useless noise. the graph has been humorously trans-flag colored.

The biggest thing I’d love to see in Ghost, even though it’s a big ask: support for the Mastodon API. Doing this would probably require implementing all of Mastodon’s other standard microblogging features first.

The benefit would be that I could use my Ghost account as my primary Fediverse identity, though. I would love that!

Ukraine has no great options if US recognizes Crimea as Russian

Ukraine is facing a crossroads in its fight against Russia's full-scale invasion, with the possibility of being forced to reject an unfavorable peace deal being imposed under huge pressure from the U.S.

Ukraine finds itself in an immensely frustrating position, having done all that was asked of it by the U.S. since the peace process began in earnest, yet now facing demands that are likely impossible.

RFC 9766: Extensions for Weak Cache Consistency in NFSv4.2's Flexible File Layout, T. Haynes, et al., rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9766 This document specifies extensions to NFSv4.2 for improving Weak Cache Consistency (WCC). These extensions introduce mechanisms that ensure partial writes performed under a Parallel NFS (pNFS) layout remain coherent and correctly tracked. The 1/3

@ntnsndrNathan Schneider @evanEvan Prodromou

any chance of getting on the fedi? at least an account but maybe a server for staff or a or site for video...

the great promise of the imo is that we can address the Chomsky concerns re attention. that the people not money can finally determine what info, ideas and art go viral. seems perfectly in line with the DN mission.

@mondoweissMondoweiss 🇵🇸 is blazing the trail for establishing true indy media for the dissident left here.
