Gerade wenn jetzt vor Weihnachten wieder ein #Smartphone unter dem Bäumchen landet, ein Hinweis: Antiviren-Scanner-Apps auf #Android und #iOS benötigt ihr nicht. Diesen nutzlosen Hokus-Pokus kann man sich sparen - am Ende wiegt man sich nur in falsche #Sicherheit, obwohl diese Apps systembedingt (Sandbox und Co.) kaum etwas leisten. Im Gegenteil: Diese vermeintlichen Sicherheits-Apps sind meist vollgestopft mit #Trackern. Mehr Infos und wie man idealerweise vorgeht 👇

Trügerische Sicherheit: Virenscanner-Apps sind schlichtweg überflüssig

Die Sicherheitsarchitektur von Android/iOS schränkt die Funktionsweise von Virenscanner-Apps stark ein und macht sie im Grunde nutzlos. Schlimmer: Die vermeintlichen Sicherheits-Apps sind Datenschleudern.

Thought I was done posting about #hivesocial #hive but guess not.
This time, they've taken their server offline to "fix vulnerabilities affecting service stability and user security".
As it turns out what happened is that there's a vulnerability that straight up allows a malicious actor to edit another person's posts, among other things.

Source for the video:
zerforschung.org/posts/hive-en…

Post from @TheHive_Social on Twitter, it reads: Hi everyone! The Hive team has become aware of security issues that affect the stability of our application and the safety of our users. Fixing these issues will require temporarily turning off our servers for a couple of days while we fix this for a better and safer experience

⚠️ Warning: do not use Hive Social 👉🐝👈

49-Euro-Ticket verzögert sich: Langsam wird es peinlich | tagesschau.de

Das 49-Euro-Ticket wäre ein Meilenstein in der Verkehrspolitik und eine finanzielle Entlastung für viele. Dass sich die Umsetzung jetzt verzögert, ist ärgerlich, meint Torben Ostermann. Das Vorhaben droht zum Rohrkrepierer zu werden.

Vielleicht sollte jemand mal die FDP informieren, dass Siemens auch Züge und Mercedes Busse baut? 🤔 OK, nix für Porsche & Co dabei… Obwohl: Wenn die halbe Republik in den Öffis sitzt, ist doch die Straße wieder frei?

Aber wie Du schreibst, es ist nicht gewollt. Wenn man wollte, hätte man schon längst ein 29€ Ticket (ging mit dem 9€ Ticket ja auch recht schnell). Das benötigte Kleingeld könnte man einfach von der Kohle-Subvention abzweigen, "kein Geld" ist auch nur ein Vorwand.

Mention of OCD

My boyfriend (@crispy) says that he wishes there's a way to use Mastodon when he can't type much because of #OCD. He says that's why he prefers Twitter Spaces, because he can use his voice.

Perhaps #Mastodon would do well to add a voice post option?

He doesn't like dictation because it's slow and doesn't work properly. The built-in dictation at least.

The accessibility for the #blind advent calendar - day 1: 🗾 Open the content warning to discover the interesting fact for the day
In #Japan, the concept of accessible phones has been known since the early 00's and has its own term, "Raku Raku Phones" and means simplified phones. Those are adapted for the needs of elderly users and those who don't feel as familiar with modern technology so a lot of concepts are, well, simplified. This is especially important given that the 00's saw the emergence of Japanese mobile phones with capacities comparable to today's smartphones. Sending emails, taking photos, mobile payments, music recognition and downloads; even TV watched on a phone were all there by 2005 and formed an important part of how the Japanese society accessed information. This is why the Raku Raku phones manufactured jointly by Fujitsu and NTT Docomo, the leading Japanese mobile carrier, were so important. Fujitsu called to the corporate social responsibility of other companies to follow suit and also formed the basis for accessibility guidelines for I-Mode, the gateway to all of Japan's mobile internet services. Apparently, 80% of Japan's blind population used these phones as they were equipped with a screen reader and allowed accessing I-Mode this way. fujitsu.com/global/documents/a…

Small Web sites will require JavaScript to sign in.

Why?

To protect your privacy.

We use public-key authentication (which I’m implementing as we speak) so your secret is never stored on the server and you only enter it in places you own and control.

(I can already see some folks up in arms about this because JavaScript Bad™ so I just checked in the initial copy for the page that gets displayed if JavaScript is off.)

#SmallWeb #Kitten #SmallTech #JavaScript #cryptography #authentication

Screenshot of https://localhost/sign-in in a browser. Web page contents follow: Title: Sign-in requires JavaScript Heading: What should I do? Strong: Please turn JavaScript on in your browser. If you’re using a browser extension like JavaScript Toggle On and Off (link), please make sure that it’s toggled on. Heading: Why? Strong: To protect your privacy. Your secret is yours and yours alone. You should only enter and store it in places that you (and you alone) own and control. While your browser runs on your machine and is in your control, your server might be hosted by someone else. So your server never knows or stores your secret. In case you’re interested in the technical details, signing in makes use of public-key cryptography (link). Heading: But isn’t all JavaScript evil? No. Like all code, it depends on who owns and controls it and what it does. This is a Small Web (link) site powered by Kitten (link). All the JavaScript here is free and open. You own and control this site and all of the code that powers it works to protect your interests and your interests alone.

Honestly, if it weren't you I had stopped reading at "[turn on Javascript] to protect your privacy". Call me biased, but I'd never believe/follow that advice unless I'd totally trust™ that server (admin+machine+software). This too much reminds me of the "corporate evil" of "you'll see a certificate warning because we use a self-signed one, you can simply ignore that" – which leads to, guess what? People getting used to ignore and doing so elsewhere. Dangerous 😉

@IzzyOnDroid Sadly, there’s been a tendency to throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to client-side JavaScript (especially in the FOSS world – “The JavaScript Trap”, etc.) Ironically enough given how adtech uses it, the only way we can have a privacy-respecting web (where you and you alone hold the secrets that authenticate your identity) is through client-side JavaScript. It’s basically the basis of the Small Web.

Yupp, once more: Ad-tech destroyed the web. If it weren't for them, the world would be a much better place!

* Web traffic down to 10% (no bloated elements, no bloated ads, no tracking scripts)
* Mail traffic down (same reasons plus no spam at all)
* required computing resources down to below 50% (no tracker-blocker needed, no spam filters)
* power consumption down (especially those ad panels!)
* …

When we say "hyper-capitalism destroyed the world", this is true on so many levels…

Mindblowing 🤯

#Whisper is an #openSource #speechRecognition model written in #Python by #OpenAI. I’ve just seen it in action. Extract an #mp3 from a video, run it through Whisper, and it turns every spoken word into text. It even does a very decent job in #Danish. Perfect for subtitling #TV and #video. I am very impressed.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not use #Hive Social!

According to research conducted by @zerforschung, the #Twitter alternative Hive Social has got a number of dangerous #security vulnerabilies.

They allow attackers to completely access and even to partly edit anyone's data, including private posts, deleted direct messages, e-mail addresses and phone numbers signed up with etc.

Once again this demonstrates that you should not rely on closed-source software to guard sensitive data.

Password managers are an essential thing. But folks using LastPass... don't. Similarly, all the other centralised, VC-funded proprietary corporate players (1Password, Dashlane, etc.). They're all an accident waiting to happen (or happen *again*, like this: bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…). Instead I recommend: BitWarden + VaultWarden: tech.oeru.org/setting-your-own… If you're not up to building your own, find someone you know & trust to do it. If you build one, make it available to your family & social circles.

Lastpass says hackers accessed customer data in new breach

LastPass says unknown attackers breached its cloud storage using information stolen during a previous security incident from August 2022.
