Thirty six years almost to the day after the release of the Morris Worm, OKTA announces they've just patched a bug where you can just log in with no password if your username is too long.

Could we please, before the Morris Worm turns forty years old, make a habit of, god help us all maybe even a standard practice of, sanitizing our inputs.

Encryption backdoors must never be allowed. To prove that Tuta Mail and Tuta Calendar are free from any backdoor, the entire client code is published as open source. Let's fight against mass surveillance! ✊

Comic that shows why we must have privacy and that a backdoor for the "good guys" only is not an option.

Let's fight encryption backdoors on Global Encryption Day! | Tuta

61% of all Tuta emails are sent encrypted - a huge success for privacy. But the authorities want to weaken encryption. We must stop them!

Die #Musik von #Silentlive hörte ich vor einigen Jahren in einem kleinen #Café in #Wałbrzych - ich versuchte der Kellnerin verständlich zu machen, dass ich die CD gern einfach sofort kaufen würde. Nach einigem hin und her verkaufte sie mir ihr eigenes Exemplar. Eine schöne Erinnerung.

In my 20 years of podcasting, I’ve tried many services for recording podcast interviews. I’ve found nothing better than Cleanfeed, because it’s reliable and flexible. While there are services that record locally and then upload, all of them glitch out at one time or another, because there is a lot of complexity in getting that right. It’s heartbreaking to lose a good interview because your double-ender service had a bad hair day. It happens far too much.
Cleanfeed is also good for broadcasting and other live events. During the lockdowns, many broadcasters were using Cleanfeed to send entire shows, including high quality stereo music streams, back to radio stations.
I did an explanation and demonstration of Cleanfeed in The Blind Podmaker podcast which is still relatively current.
I say all this because Cleanfeed has just come out with a very nice update for iPhones using USB-C. You can now use a USB-C audio device including audio interfaces, come into Cleanfeed through safari for iOS, and Cleanfeed will recognise the audio device. This is going to be a big deal for people who want to participate in high quality podcasts or live broadcasts while on the go. If a radio station has a broadcaster in the field for some reason, coming in through Cleanfeed and a USB-C audio device is going to sound way better than a FaceTime call.
Best of all, Cleanfeed’s developers care deeply about #accessibility. They’ve responded positively to many of my suggestions and those of others in the blind podcasting community.
You can find Cleanfeed at cleanfeed.net.

I had a talk called "Unbreakable Linux for Entire Family" today. It had nothing to do with Oracle #Linux, it was about concepts and approaches around #Fedora #Silverblue to make a truly free ChromeOS-like system for friends and family.
I was happy to have a full room of people. It's good to see #OpenAlt bouncing back in terms of attendance.

The recording of the talk (in Czech) is already available online:

For many years I've believed that Facebook and Instagram were secretly downloading phone photos in the background. Because when you go to post a photo, it gets sent far too quickly to have done a download at the same time.

Yesterday I found this video from an Instagram founder, and damned if I wasn't right.

It doesn't appear to be all photos, just the most recent one (ones?). It's not clear from the video if it happens when you launch the app, or when you hit compose. They're doing it on the assumption you're about to post some recent photos. They claim it's okay because if you don't post it, they delete it.

That's classic Meta self-serving bullshit. The "Yeah, it's wrong, but it's okay because we're Meta and we're smart" excuse they always use.

It is not okay to upload my photos without my explicit consent. It's not okay to chew up my bandwidth when I may be deliberately trying to keep it low. IANL, but that first, frankly, sounds like class action material.

It doesn't matter that they claim to delete it. They just introduced a privacy risk. That could have been a nude of my spouse. That could have been a photo of my kid I was sending to my doctor. That could have been a photo of a contract I'm not allowed to share. All to save a few seconds they can brag about.

When Apple allowed you to selectively make photos available to app, I turned the feature on for Meta apps. This makes posting photos a pain, because Meta doesn't uses Apple's UI for choosing which photos they can see and selecting them at the same time. It's a multistep process and it isn't obvious how to do it. Ironically, it means that I rarely post to Instagram anymore. A fact that just reinforces my belief that Meta really wants full photo access and deliberately isn't fixing the issue.

Ugh, the #chrome #extension ecosystem is exactly as bad as I'd expect.

And the fact extension is still up claiming not to collect any data even if it has been called out in one of the biggest security newsletters shows how much Google care about this (not much). The only thing they care about is pretending to ship AI features to detect malicious extensions. Because that's how you get promoted.

I mean is it even possible to report a suspicious or bad extension? I don't see anywhere

Great research by @WPalant and @c0m4r

And @campuscodi for putting the spotlight on it.

Text from screenshot: Chrome extension turns malicious: A popular Google Chrome extension with more than 100,000 installs has now turned malicious. The Hide YouTube Shorts extension is performing affiliate fraud and collecting the browsing history of all its users. Security researchers say the extension appears to have turned malicious after it was transferred to a new developer.

I dream of someday giving a conference talk titled "A Majestic Minilith", drawing its title from DHH's "majestic monolith" (signalvnoise.com/svn3/the-maje…) plus the Minilith from Arthur C. Clarke's _2061_. In this talk, I would show a full-stack web app written in Rust (or maybe some other AOT-compiled language), where the whole thing is a single binary, and show via live demo with audience participation that it can handle a decent number of concurrent users on a low-power home router.

#kraftwerk’s mighty Autobahn is 50 years old today!

Imagine listening to it back then, this amazing 22 minute electronic track that captures the joy (and boredom) of a long drive on the autobahn.

It remains stunning and fresh now, let alone how mindblowing it must’ve been in ‘74

it's so crazy to explore tools like curl and find out how cool and useful it is and noticing that a lot of tools and products are using it in the background. Such a great accomplice but sadly not as monetarily rewarding as a good song or film, even so it is more useful (no shame on music and films but I prefer technical stuff for my entertainment ;..; )

It's a tragedy, and the handling is absolutely awful so far. A few more details:

Right after winning the election, the regional government abolished the regional emergency unit as a cost-cutting measure.
Urban planning failed in allowing to build in what are essentially dry riverbeds and became wet once again.
The state agency for meteorology had been giving warnings for days. Civil protection didn't issue warnings to citizens through their phones until flooding had already begun.
A far right pseudo-trade union has sued the director of the agency for reckless homicide.
The president of the region incorrectly stated that the phenomenon was remiting and heading elsewhere.
The region didn't ask the state to raise the emergency level to 3, in which case the state would take over the single command and deploy its own means to support. But now the region accuses the state of innaction. The region also didn't declare "situation of catastrophic emergency" which would have vested single command on the regional president, probably to elude legal responsibility.
Volunteers were rejected at first, then belatedly organised, and the region instead of sending them to help people in villages with cleaning, food and water delivery and so on, have at times sent them to clean shopping centres.

With that amount of rain it was always going to be bad. But the civil protection plan failed and the political conflict in the country is keeping administrations pointing the finger at each other. Very upsetting.
