The fediverse is safer because of @thisismissemEmelia 👸🏻

Her tireless dedication to trust and security protects us all, but this work requires resources.

I'm seeking organizations to sponsor her ($500+/mo) to ensure this mission continues.

Her value to our ecosystem is immeasurable.

I personally vouch for her expertise and impact, as many leaders in this space will. We cannot afford to lose her contributions.

Please boost and mention orgs on the fedi with this toot 🙏

🚨 attention fans 🚨

's Mini Plushies have just been released: shop.joinmastodon.org/products

They come in two colors: Activity Peach and Interoperability Blue - and are absolutely adorable.

I'm only posting this message AFTER purchasing both because these items usually sell out real fast.

My little one tends to claim all my stuff, so it's a good thing they are two. I will negotiate to keep one for me.

Upside is that this official Mastodon merch helps support the team. So go!

I broke IKEA.

(or, well, one of their delivery services.) 🔊 Just a fair warning - there are some perhaps annoying glitch sounds in the attached recording. The volumes are normalized to limit loud spikes, as they were a lot worse in person. 😅 so, my phone service has a rather clever anti-spam tactic, which works like this: * I receive a phone call from an unknown number, and it goes through screening when I answer it. It rings until the fifth ring, the voicemail greeting plays out, then I've got 30 seconds to judge if it's a spam robocall or if it's genuine * If it's okay, I press 1, and it interrupts the ring/voicemail sequence and I answer the call like usual. * If it's spam, I press ### (the # key by itself normally opens my PBX menu, so it doesn't go through) and hang up immediately. Pressing ### and hanging up, will shove the call to voicemail, then launch a "DTMF bomb", which is a rapid sequence of over a hundred tones of DTMF keysmash, even including some of the "ABCD" keys. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-tone_multi-frequency_signaling##,_*,_A,_B,_C,_and_D] This has blown up spammers' cheapass PBXes, especially ones with poor security and too much trust given to the DTMF decoder on the call server. So, when IKEA called from a random 1-877 number to confirm my furniture shipment worth $1200 (that's the equivalent of :sixty: blåhaj!), the only thing it said is "To continue in English, please press 1."... and I had no idea who it was, immediately thought it was spam, and did the ### gesture. Oops. What follows is a transcript of the call in the recording above. ---------------------------------------- > "To continue in English, please press 1️⃣." > [extremely rapid DTMF spam string] > "Your delivery is scheduled for Tuesday. Five. [A burst of digital static plays out here for about a quarter of a second.] $DeliveryDate between the hours of 2pm and 6pm. > > If an adult will not be available within the timeframe provided, or you have any other conflicts, please contact us at > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > Message repeat. ⚠️. Your delivery is scheduled for-" [total system breakdown occurs here... followed by dead line noise.] ............. [blerp] ............. [blerp] ............. [blerp] ............. [blerp] ... I should've just bought :sixty: blåhaj, instead. (Names, businesses, times, dates and phone numbers may be changed or redacted in order to protect the privacy of those involved.)
