@admin I think the one after discord is Telegram, just confusing because it doesn't mention crypto scams or also premium in order to set a status (emoji)

watching old restofuturistic sci-fi, in a command room, one computer prints out extremely time-sensitive useful information, one person whose sole job it is to run back and forth grabs the printout and hands it to another person, who re-types it into a plastic punch card thing, and inserts it into another computer to be read and acted upon immediately

this is distressingly much more believable as the future than the two computers just being plugged into each other

One of the conceits of my solarpunk setting is that networked computers run amok basically caused an apocalypse and and everyone went back to sneakernet purely for safety.

Then chatgpt happened and now I'm kinda scared. >.>

it's not the top of the world, but the top of furnace 5 at #Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, that I, Rufus, conquered.

up here - 70 m above ground - not many visitors expected to see a full-grown husky enjoying a spectacular view over the Ruhr-area.

252 steps up - and down again: just the extensive walkies that huskies need...

The rich have always objected to being governed at all - you see examples everyday

Scott Matter mastodon (AP)

Anarchy / anarchism are not only about not being governed, but about not oppressing others.

The rich are almost exclusively only rich because they benefit from the exploitative oppression of everyone else. Thatโ€™s not even close to anarchy.

Stargeezer Smith mastodon (AP)

I'd never thought about that, but you're right. The poor man version is the reclusive mountain man.

Interestingly enough, that concept seems to be expanding into being free of nature as well, as some of the uber rich think they can build their fortress and not be bothered by global warming. The obvious flaws in that thinking convince me that uber rich does not translate to uber smart.

๐Ÿ“ข ensure legacy proxy is disabled

In the current development branch the legacy proxy functionality has been removed as bad actors might misuse it.

If you are using any other version of Friendica, please ensure that the proxify_content config variable is set to false. For this you can either use the admin panel (Site configuration -> Proxify external content) or set it to false on the command line using the console tool bin/console config system proxify_content 0.

An interested question:
What has the proxy done so far and where can I activate the "new" one and what is routed through it?
1
Steffen K9 ๐Ÿฐ friendica (via ActivityPub)

In the past this was used to "proxify" external content like images. Instead of loading them from the remote server they were stored locally on your node and served from your local node. For example when someone embedded an image that image was served from your node (with a .../proxy/... URL).

Lately, the functionality was reduced to OEmbed and some rare edge cases only. Now it is completely removed.

We've released #PuTTY version 0.81. This is a SECURITY UPDATE, fixing a #vulnerability in ECDSA signing for #SSH.

If you've used a 521-bit ECDSA key (ecdsa-sha2-nistp521) with any previous version of PuTTY, consider it compromised! Generate a new key pair, and remove the old public key from authorized_keys files.

Other key types are not affected, even other sizes of ECDSA. In particular, Ed25519 is fine.

This vulnerability has id CVE-2024-31497. Full information is at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/vuln-p521-bias.html

is ArcosPutty 75.1.8 vulnerable to CVE-2024-31497?
Simon Tatham mastodon (AP)
@anonymous236 I'm sorry to say that I don't know anything about ArcosPutty or its version numbers. You'd have to ask its own maintainers which version of upstream PuTTY it's based on, or what fixes they've applied.

"Mastodon is dead"

Ways to not make it dead:

1.) Follow people.
2.) Engage in other people's posts.
3.) Use hashtags. They don't demote posts here.
4.) Browse hashtags.
5.) Post more often! (PostyBirb is a great tool for posting art to multiple sites)

Seeing so many people claim "Mastodon is dead" when they only come here like only once a month, to post art, then hop off. And not engage at all. Or use hashtags.

You gotta follow people, engage with the community, follow feeds, etc.!

The U.S. government is warning that smart locks securing entry to an estimated 50,000 dwellings nationwide contain hard-coded credentials that can be used to remotely open any of the locks. The lock's maker Chirp Systems remains unresponsive, even though it was first notified about the critical weakness in March 2021. Meanwhile, Chirp's parent company, RealPage, Inc., is being sued by multiple U.S. states for allegedly colluding with landlords to illegally raise rents.

Whoa. This seems really important. New study suggests that changing the charging protocol from the presently common constant current charge to a high frequency pulsed square wave current could DOUBLE the lifetime of Li-ion batteries.

i.e. the 8 year life of an EV battery back could be extended to a much more reasonable 16 years. That's huge.

One of the striking things about this โฌ†๏ธ is that when you take space away from cars to allow cycling, walking and public transport also thrive. In Paris, walking now accounts for 53.5% of trips with public transport at 30%, cycling 11.2% and cars only 4.3%.

A few brave Singaporeans unfurled this banner in front of the iconic Marina Bay Sands, in a country where any public protest is illegal without prior approval and approved protests are only allowed at one park (and the authorities already said all registered protest applications relating to Gaza will be denied)

If they were foreigners they would almost certainly be deported. As citizens theyโ€™ll definitely see some legal action

I found this list of results on this page and, having spent a bit of time reading numbers, I'm thinking Labour are likely to have enough of a lead that I don't need to worry about it and I can vote for the Green candidate instead. But seriously, FTT for pushing us back onto FPTP so we can't express our preferences properly.
Pippin friendica
Vote cast, ballot posted, phew, I can forget about that until results-time.

We are finally beginning to see mainstream outlets tell the truth:

Very little plastic is recyclable, or recycled.

The "chasing arrows" were put on the packaging and the lie that plastic is recyclable was pushed so municipalities in the 80's wouldn't ban plastic.

"In 1994 an Exxon executive told the staff of the plastics council that when it comes to recycling, "We are committed to the activities but not committed to the results.""

I agree with the statement in this article: plastic will never be recyclable, not in the traditional sense, unless it is broken down into constituent atoms and those are used in other things. The material is just not amenable to it.

That's an amazing article, and yeah I don't think there are words for how cooking these people alive would be too merciful to them. It brings up an excellent example in the 50's where 80 children suffocated in plastic dry cleaner bags, and the industry said the parents were to blame for trying to reuse the dryer bags. So like:

Parent: You sold me a new dryer bag and my child just died horribly suffocating on it while I struggled to save them.
The Society of the Plastics Industry: Well, you should have known to throw away the bag. Really we're the victims here.
