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! ✊

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

Fake videos from Russian propagandists aim to raise tensions ahead of Election Day — NPR

El capitalismo te dice:
Mira todas las series y pelis que hemos hecho para ti: en cuanto llegue el futuro solo sobreviviremos en bunkers defendidos con armas, sera el todo contra todos cuando falte lo básico.
Lo que esta sucediendo realmente en Valencia ahora mismo:
Miles, literalmente miles de personas están ayudando, incluso caminando decenas de kilómetros, llevando agua y comida, despejando las calles, cuidando animales de compañía, acogiendo en su casa.... en su mayor parte de manera autorganizada.
Así es como respondemos realmente la inmensa mayoría de personas cuando nos quedamos sin agua, luz, teléfono, internet, casa ni comida durante días y días.
Everyone knows it, nobody has a sulotion.
- Dropbox: Is being hated for some reason by people because it's, apparently, to expensive, but I don't get the issue. It's really accessible, easy, works, and needs no real care. You can run and use it out of the box, one could say. But just 2 gb for free? Come on dude.
- Google Drive: We don't need to start about this. Super slow, synces ages and buggy, annoying because you have to share every file you want to generate a file of manually and the sharing is bugged as hell. 15 gb as start off are fine yes, but still.
- Self hosted sulotions:
Nextcloud? Nah. Honestly the idea of it is cool and I like that it has a such big community, but it still has it's inaccessible parts and is not really running out of the box.
- Some weird ftp shit with simple URL: Yes, is pretty cool although this also needs a bit more setup than it looks as first, and would possibely need experience because you never know how secure it would be at the end.
And other stuff like seadrive? No idea. This is even more complicated unless you find a way to host it, say in snap, as example.
So at the end I'm just saying, it's annoying if you don't want to pay. I really would like dropbox at most but I can't pay $10 per month for two thousand gigabytes right now.
If anyone has something really cool, please please recommend it. I am searching for something with a simple and cool UI, which can be hosted on Linux and be installed either easely or even with a service snap or a script, or is maybe also commertial.

I think it's like knowing when to take microwave popcorn out of the oven. If more than N time passes between useful picks from the container, you can throw it out.
(I seem to have exhausted all the useful bolt/nut pairs from such container, and all that remains is things that don't fit anywhere. I should really throw it out.)
100% agree! 💯
IMO, it is one of the single most important coding practices that can be adopted by software engineers.
One advantage that is often not talked about (and applies to unit tests in general) is, what I like to call "Press Play And Debug":
Imagine you have a very complicated workflow/process you have to go through manually until you reach your desired state of debugging.
With unit tests you can just Press Play And Debug.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.

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:

Falls der (Fach-)Arzttermin nur über #Doctolib vereinbart werden kann, geht anschließend wie folgt vor: Fordert zunächst eine Datenauskunft gemäß Art. 15 DSGVO an und veranlasst danach die Löschung eurer Daten gemäß Art. 17 DSGVO. Jedes Mal. Wirklich jedes Mal. Geht ganz einfach über Datenanfragen! 👇
Datenanfragen.de – Nutze Dein Recht auf Datenschutz.
Dank der DSGVO hast Du viele Datenschutz-Rechte. Wir wollen Dir helfen, diese zu nutzen. Stelle DSGVO-Anfragen an zahlreiche Unternehmen und lerne mehr über die Datenschutz-Grundverordnung und Datenschutz.Datenanfragen.de
Dabei sollte man villeicht auch ausdrücklich auf Absatz 2 hinweisen: wurden die Daten bereits an andere Weitergegeben, hat der Betreiber "angemessene Maßnahmen" zu treffen, auch dort auf eine entsprechende Löschung hinzuwirken (so versehe ich den Absatz zumindest).
Kann man da eigentlich auch eine verbindliche Bestätigung verlangen?
Climate Change Demonstration Criticised for Blocking Traffic in Spain — The Shovel
“I’m all for action on climate change, but all this demonstration does is inconvenience people. It's selfish".The Shovel
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.
Auch das ist #DisabledAlltag : In Werkstätten für einen mickrigen Stundenlohn schufften, ohne Arbeitnehmer*innen-Rechte, während andere sich eine goldene Nase verdienen. Inklusion? Fehlanzeige!
