Today marks five years from the great pleroma follow loop bug. If somebody on pleroma followed you, your server would reply with an accept, and then pleroma would immediately send back another follow. That was a fun one.

Oh, this is exciting. threads.net uses expiring urls for media. If you don't fetch and cache the attachment when you receive the post, you won't be able to get it later. (Guessing you can refetch the post and get a new url, but most software isn't going to do that.)

Did you know: the term aurora borealis was coined by Galileo in 1619, which means people before that time couldn't see them, because it's not possible to see things you don't have a word for.

New nightmare just dropped
To some extent, I get that people think a $1500 device should be able to run macOS. But by that logic, shouldn't you be happy you can buy a device that can run macOS for $1000 (or $700)? If the overpriced device doesn't do what you want, buy the cheaper device that does. Win fucking win. Another practical life tip brought to you by the honk living channel.

@pony yeah, it's not really the physical construction, but more the logical operation. If I mute a thread, to not see replies, that would mean I don't want to see quotes as well, but they are distinct. This came up because I muted a tiresome thread, but then people started quoting it, and I kept seeing more of it.

How much cash did WBD actually burn on Suicide Squad? It's funny how everyone knows that Hollywood losses are fake, and it's all lies for tax write offs, but now that something they don't like is losing money, they take the sticker price as gospel truth. Do you even know what an impairment charge is?

Adding likes, but calling them slaps. "Yo dawg, this post really slaps."
As the modern philosophy collective KMFDM put it, "stop saying «don't quote me» because if no one quotes you, you haven't said a thing worth saying."
Renaming quote toots to slams. "I posted cringe and got slammed by fedi."
Sequel to Death Stranding called Z Stranding where you're faced with a mountain of assorted shapes and your mission is to run around rearranging them into the most compact possible representation.
Hmm, so if you mute a thread, that should also mute quotes of that thread, no? Increasingly complicated database queries. This wouldn't be a problem if mastodont set the context property to reference the existing thread, but obviously the dont don't.

@prefetcher yes, you should always check that id matches the domain you fetched it from. You probably should not be seeing mismatches because it's a bug if they're sent to you, but need to check. If there's a redirect, you can handle that by checking final domain matches, but again, shouldn't usually happen.

3D-Printed USB Dead Man Switch (Prototype Demo)
Today weâre ecstatic to publish our first demo showing a homemade BusKill Cable (in the prototype 3D-printed case) triggering a lockscreen. In our last update, I showed a video demo where I successfully triggered a lockscreen using a BusKill prototype without the 3D-printed body for the case and N35 disc magnets. I realized that the N35 disc magnets were not strong enough. In this update, I show a demo with the prototype built inside a 3D-printed case and with (stronger) N42 and N52 cube magnets. BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. Itâs a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer. If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys â thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device. While we do what we can to allow at-risk folks to purchase BusKill cables anonymously, there is always the risk of interdiction. We donât consider hologram stickers or tamper-evident tape/crisps/glitter to be sufficient solutions to supply-chain security. Rather, the solution to these attacks is to build open-source, easily inspectable hardware whose integrity can be validated without damaging the device and without sophisticated technology. Actually, the best way to confirm the integrity of your hardware is to build it yourself. Fortunately, BusKill doesnât have any circuit boards, microcontrollers, or silicon; itâs trivial to print your own BusKill cable â which is essentially a USB extension cable with a magnetic breakaway in the middle Mitigating interdiction via 3D printing is one of many reasons that Melanie Allen has been diligently working on prototyping a 3D-printable BusKill cable this year. In this article, we hope to showcase her progress and provide you with some OpenSCAD and If youâd like to reproduce our experiment and print your own BusKill cable prototype, you can download the stl files and read our instructions here: If you have access to a 3D Printer, you have basic EE experience, or youâd like to help us test our 3D printable BusKill prototype, please let us know. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and weâre eager to finish-off this 3D printable BusKill prototype to help make this security-critical tool accessible to more people world-wide! https://www.buskill.in/3d-print-2024-05/ External Attachment: image 3D-Printed USB Dead Man Switch (Prototype Demo)3D-Printed USB Dead Man Switch (Prototype Demo)

Oooooh, it comes in space black. Or splack, as I call it.
I've started reading The Peripheral, having seen the TV series, and at least the first few chapters are a very difficult read. Or maybe I've just become a very lazy reader. Despite some familiarity with the setting of the chapters with Wilf's viewpoint, they are completely inscrutable. (I'm aware the show is not a clone of the book.) Not sure I'm qualified to give Gibson writing advice, but I think he may have the show don't tell slider turned up too high. Anyway, going to keep reading until I get to the good parts.
I now have a glitchy bug which is actually really cool to look at, but nevertheless needs fixing, which will ruin the fun. The newly rewritten honk setup screen has a bug where the "Hello" message scrolls across the screen with each keypress. Somehow, somewhere, the screen position is being miscalculated based on the entered field length. A rather serious bug, in general. But here it just looks fun. And I'm afraid it'll be rather more effort than warranted to recreate the effect once fixed.
This blog post would be twice as interesting if it were half as long.
Consider also upgrading to an OS that doesn't set LESSOPEN by default. Or, wait for it, maybe one that doesn't even include misfeatures like LESSOPEN.
Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.
Isn't this VPN bypass identical to one from like a year ago?
