@puppygirlhornypost2 @neineon77 that is a great question. I will have to get into the logs to see what is happening. It happens also on Infosec.space but not mastodon.social, so I am not very sure yet.

Hi friends. The world for some of us is a little chaotic and the fediverse is an important escape from other social media for many. But it isn’t free and most instance operators accept donations to offset their costs. If you are able and don’t already, please consider supporting your instance to help keep the fediverse alive and healthy, assuming they accept donations.

For the InfoSec/Fedia donors, I appreciate your support.

Be kind and I wish you all the best.

Hey, I’ve been reading all about this phishing scam, and I finally got one of my own….

>The future is not evenly distributed.

That quote from William Gibson is on my mind today.

Where is the dividing line where it’s just easier to leave the Christmas tree up till next Christmas? Asking for a friend of course

@fluffykittycat I think this is a really good idea. @mastodonmigration @jonny

tiXtoX. Calling it now

@briankrebs

It reminds me of the early days of the fediverse where people mostly came here to complain about twitter being down.

Suddenly 170000000 people are learning how crappy the algorithms in instagram and YouTube shorts are compared to TikTak

@shadownetworks UDP packets don’t actively hate endpoint on the far end of the network though. But otherwise it’s a wonderful analogy

My comcast cable modem service has been out all day, reported as a widespread outage in the area due to “network damage”. A comcast truck has been stopping at each one of the connection boxes in the street this evening. They finally got to ours. I watched the tech take the cover off, fiddle with some fittings on the cables, walk around his truck a few times, but the cover back on the box, then sit in his truck and I got a notice that me service was restored. Except it wasn’t. Now comcast just says “everything looks good on our end! Please reboot your equipment”.
So now I have to schedule a service call that will happen some time early next week 🤬

I did not know I needed an arm to hold my kindle over my head while i lay in bed with a remote to flip pages, but here we are. And it’s pretty great.

Well, looks like pixel.infosec.exchange is growing fast. Up about 100 accounts in 36 hours.

I admire the persistence of whoever is trying to phish my OVH credentials over the past several days. The emails look good, however it would help if I had an account there.

Perhaps my favorite thing on TikTok is the flurry of Chinese people recording “goodbye from your Chinese spy” videos, overlayed with the song “When I see you again”

I am happy to post our Getting Defensive Podcast interview with the brilliant @sophieschmieg

@thisismissem oh - interesting. I misread that.

I am thinking about creating a replacement for pixel.infosec.exchange that uses mariadb instead of postgres and doesn't use docker to help the community out. Pixel has issues that I don't think I can fix because I created it with postgres.
