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.

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

@jerry maybe you should create an account there with a special prize waiting for the angler.

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 https://gettingdefensive.com/getting-defensive-with-sophie-schmieg/

@siguza @jerry MariaDB got bought by private equity firms iirc, which led to folks dropping it

Ah the irony of forcing to sell TikTok to Musk on national security grounds. Because that will definitely be better for national security.

@jerry Once done and if you are willing, I'd be happy to host it on my peertube instance for those that don't want to use YouTube.

To dispel any ugly rumors, no I did not donate $1M to Trump’s inauguration. I, instead, spend all the ad money this site generates on my mega yacht, pictured below

@jerry there is, they just banned the people who suggested it
