PC Gamers: I need the fastest CPU, the fastest RAM, the fastest videocard, no matter the cost.

Also PC gamers: I am willing to spend 3% of my CPU cycles making the lights on my case change colors.

Včerajší megavýpadok internetových služieb je iba zhmotnenie starého IT vtipu v monštruóznej škále:

• Kamarát dal včera dole asi 100 serverov…
• On je hacker?
• Nie. Debil.

Zdravim z novej inštancie! 👋

Konečne som sa rozhodol presunúť sa na novú inštanciu. Pevne verím, že uvidím všetky príspevky od účtov ktoré som videl doteraz, a taktiež, že každý uvidí moje príspevky. K dispozícii mám 11 000 znakov, takže konečne sa nemusím obmedzovať v písaní. 🥳

Gajim 1.9.2 has been released 🚀

This release brings an important OMEMO encryption fix, native notifications on Windows, usability improvements, and many bugfixes. Thank you for all your contributions!

Concerning CrowdStrike:

We are now at t+26h. Please compare how much we knew about the xz-attack after less than a day with what we know about the chain of events of giant outage yesterday.

If something similar had been caused by an OSS component, we would see congress discussing a ban on open software in critical infrastructure already.

Thema #Paralympics:
Liebe Journalist*innen,
- die Diagnosen der Sportler*innen gehen uns nichts an!
- Es geht um Sport und Leistungen. Das Event ist kein Hospizbesuch oder Kindergeburtstag!
- Die Olympics und Paralympics sind nicht inklusiv. Die Spiele sind zeitlich voneinander getrennt.
- Berichtet über fehlende Sponsoren der Sportler*innen und mangelnde, wirklich inklusive Sportangebote im Land.

Wir haben 2024 ey.

My Software Projects, Security Research, and other Computery Stuff
This is a list of my favorite side projects and open-source work, collected into a single list so I can pin it to my profile. Replies are welcome!

- I'm the creator and lead dev of ModShark, a standalone auto-moderator for Sharkey instances. There's a severe lack of good moderation features for fediverse nodes, but I hope to improve the situation with ModShark and other independent tools.

- I occasionally publish fedi-admin-scripts, a small collection of scripts, queries, and documentation for admins of Sharkey and Akkoma instances. The goal here is low-effort knowledge sharing for the benefit of other admins.

- One of my larger projects is AP-WAF, a plugin-based extensible firewall for ActivityPub software. I hope it can bridge the feature gap between different fediverse servers by moving low-level moderation and security features into the middleware layer.

- I'm building ActivityPubSharp, an implementation of ActivityPub in C#. I'm using a novel approach to model AP's dynamically-typed extensions model in a type-safe way without sacrificing C#'s efficient, strong typing model.

- I built little-log-scan as a tool to track botnets and other internet threats. LLS ingests webserver logs through a series of heuristic rules to detect known vulnerabilities, identify payload types, and aggregate metadata. The output is structured for easy research analysis.

- As time allows, I'm building Lavender FE - a "universal" frontend for fediverse instances. Lavender is designed to seamlessly integrate multiple accounts, regardless of the instance or backend software.

- I curate a list of DotNet-ActivityPub-Projects, which is exactly what it sounds like. My goal is to index all projects that implement ActivityPub using C# or another CLR language.

- What started as a meme is now the Expressions AS Extension, an ActivityStreams extension meant to introduce protocol-level support for non-text communication. I hope that Expressions can enable new federated communication modes that are more comfortable to neurodivergent people.

- I contribute to Letterbook, a next-generation fediverse server offering simple operation and powerful safety tools. Letterbook incorporates a unique architecture that avoids many of the classic limitations faced by fedi server projects.

- I also contribute to Sharkey, a soft-fork of Misskey offering extensive quality-of-life improvements. Sharkey is designed as a safe extension of Misskey's native feature set, providing widespread improvements with minimal risk.

I understand gallows humor, probably better than average. But I’m disappointed at some of the absolute glee I’ve witnessed at the CrowdStrike thing

This wasn’t “the internet was off for a bit”, this was an issue that put people’s lives and health at risk. Glee at the suffering of others is not a good look, and I’m kind of angry about it.
