Even with being unable to mark our recent maintenance (1h 20m) as an expected downtime... We still have >99.9% uptime over the last 90 days.

Hey Github how're you-- Oh. Oh...

thx to https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/116308891820413082 for leading me to the amazingness of The Missing GitHub Status Page: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

This was spurred by a colleague at work saying "I feel like Github never went down for years and now its almost daily"

I'm not saying it is shitty vibe coding, but it's probably shitty vibe coding.

Proud to say that Pawb Social has had a higher uptime percentage than GitHub.

If you have a Plex account, you’ll want to check your email and / or read this security incident disclosure:

https://forums.plex.tv/t/important-notice-of-security-incident/930523

We have recently experienced a security incident that may potentially involve your Plex account information.

An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases. While we quickly contained the incident, information that was accessed included emails, usernames, securely hashed passwords and authentication data.

While this idea on Newgrounds part is ingenious and a good middle ground... Why this fuck is this needed?

Age verification has been a thing on mobile carriers for ages.

JUST MAKE ISPs DO THE SAME THING: Enforce Parental Controls unless you verify and disable / configure a bypass code.

Stop making website operators act like a guardian for your children because you're negligent, and ISPs are complacent (or less tactfully, also negligent.) :V

RE Original Post: https://pawb.fun/@itsOasus/114944979446278229

Like... why the fuck does every website need to use an age verification system when we have centralized access providers that can do it ONCE.

Oh.. right. They want to link what porn / adult sites you view with your identity.

I really don't buy the "we'll not share your data" crap American companies push these days given they either provably are lying, or are so incompetent that a single queer furry hacker could get access to your data and leak it anyway.

If people actually gave a shit about their children, they wouldn't be pearl clutching, they'd be acting to try and stop their children being affected.

TIL the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano’s GPIO pins aren’t actually 3.3V. It’s 1.8V~ in a trenchcoat (level shifter), which can’t drive the 3.3V relay we have…

…Time to learn about MOSFETs!

Quest Complete! Graphics card get! \o/

DAMN. Folks are absolutely hammering ConCat for the AC hotel launch, really happy with how the system handled it \o/

We will not be quiet while our Trans and Queer friends are persecuted.

Stonewall was a riot. 🏳️🌈

test toot, please reply :3

@Houl I so want to try printing stickers of this xD

Friendly reminder that VPNs won’t “keep you safe” online unless you’re a pirate, or doing shady stuff.

Google and other ad providers don’t care about your safety or privacy, don’t vet their ads, and actively profit off of malicious ads and tracking.

Is there a furry-specific art instance on the furry fediverse?

Been thumbing through furryfediverse.org but I’m pretty sure I’m just blind… :blobfoxterrified:

Even-handed commentary and opinions on issues folks view as heated topics is not reportable, especially if it’s already behind a CW.

Also, as an aside, if you use “Other”, please include an explanation… If that’s not possible on your software, fair enough — we should push to make the ability to add additional info standard across Fedi with reports.

A reminder: Instance suspensions are, inherently, permanent.

It’s like going into a server room and taking the nuclear option of severing cables instead of unplugging and rewiring them.

Can you eventually reconnect them? Sort of. But, now you have to renegotiate DHCP leases, make sure your routes are set up correctly, find out why it’s connected but no one has internet access…

tl;dr and analogy aside: Mastodon severs followers on permanently when you suspend a server. It’s not an undo-able action, it’s a permanent action, and many users have no idea how it works or how to save that data before it’s gone forever.

Excuse the crude markup, but here’s a snippet of the work we’re doing on the Pawb.Social hardware!

We’ve got the main node hosting all of the various services for Pawb.Social (the multiple Mastodon instances, Lemmy, databases, etc.), and a new node we’re still provisioning for HA use.

Further down we’ve got the NAS (currently backups and Lemmy), two Dell TL4000 tape drives (for backups), and an APC SM3000RM2U backup UPS.

Both of the main nodes are running Proxmox v8 as the host OS (Debian bookworm) and are nearly identical in specs and hardware.

Original node specs:

• Intel 13th Gen i7-13700K

• 128 GB DDR4 RAM

• 4 TB HDD for local temp backups

• 1TB and 500 GB NVMe SSDs for VM / Container use

• Dual 10Gb NIC

#PawbSocial

@meowcatheorange fwiw, https://gui.fediseer.com/glossary tries to do similar to the concept you envisioned, and operates on a "Web of Trust" model.

Example using furry.engineer's listing: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/furry.engineer

It's a big list of censures (suspensions), hesitations (limits), and endorsements, and it's a good reference in case you need to check the background of a given instance before taking actions.

Detailed the car today and I’m exhausted @~@!
