@briankrebs

I recommend completely wiping the system ad installing a more security-hardened, new version without this exploit immediately.

I understand people sharing TailScale for convenience.

I have trouble understanding people sharing #TailScale for #SelfHosting though. Their server software isn't hostable. Even if you use their server, which seems contrary to *self* hosting, well you also have to use servers from either Google, Apple or Microsoft, just to log in unless you also want to maintain an OIDC provider, which negates the "convenience" always touted.

Run what you wish, but recommending for SelfHosting seems odd.

My timeline right now, starring @workchronicles and that eternal, solo developer superstar @dansup ! 😋

@ChrisWere @HalleAndert

It... works.

Kind of.

If you don't really care about notifications. Or UX. Or commenting.

Personally I find NewPipe a lot better for YouTube than for Peertube, where the UX just isn't cut out for random instances .

I'll admit though, I haven't tried it in a while, so hopefully it's gotten radically better recently.

@HalleAndert

All the Peertube apps on FDroid seem to have been abandoned. The official Peertube app is still in pretty early development, and it isn't on FDroid yet, but it's open source and it is being actively developed. You can read about it here:

Or download releases here:

@conservancy
Replace "ByteDance" from the quotation above with "all social media companies" and you have my support.

This whole thing strikes me as a ridiculous case of "Their surveillance BAD! Our surveillance GOOD!"
@karen

@TotalSonic

Notice, too, how it's the *only* one on that list made by an individual human person rather than a business / corporation.

@cwebber

YouTube only. 😢

@Garwboy

I heartily disagree with you. Until you can prove sentience, I remain deeply skeptical. Sentience is usually accompanied by empathy, and I see little evidence of that here.

@lumi

Revolving door hiring between corporations and government, five eyes and third party doctrine, and equivalent legislation in non-US countries, largely means that government and corporate surveillance are one and the same.

@pedromira

Earth FTW! (Way better than that stupid Venus!)

@rysiek

I'm guessing it's "Meta announces Nazi's/Maga are good and trans/LBTQ+ people bad moderation policy" related.

@smitten

Not really. To reach the highest levels of power you not only need to have been born in to inhuman levels of privilege, but also to do things that any psychologically healthy person wouldn't be willing to do. Thus you're left with insecure narcissists who are willing to do and say *anything* to gain power/approval, and it comes across in how they look.

The psychologically healthy people are content to stay out of the game/limelight just living a good life and helping others.

@raphael

We already use one of the big job websites, so I don't really see what this would offer that's different?

That said, filtering resumes by criteria is still pretty crappy. I mean, I'd love it if people could put in their availability and we could filter by that, in more detail than just "weekdays/weekends/evenings". I'd love to be able to give other industries relevance scores so if people had experience in them, it gave a certain amount of added weight, etc.

@the_adventures_of_an_introvert

I kind of do a hybrid. I allow exceptions, but I actually have clear rules about those exceptions.

For example, there are certain things I'll eat in a food that was gifted to me by someone unaware of how I eat, but I don't allow myself to buy similar foods.

Often when making a dietary change I'll set rules that I 100% follow, but those rules just make it more inconvenient to eat undesirable foods, rather than impossible. Banning just makes me want them more.

5. Empowering Mobilizon
Creating a governance structure to hit Mobilizon's most important goals and priorities. We really need an open, privacy respecting way to get people offline and building community now more than ever. Governance may not be sexy, but this will make a huge difference! to funding, planning and increasing the features and reach of Mobilizon!

4. Spritely Oaken
The @spritely Institute, headed up by @cwebber (OG #ActivityPub / #Fediverse cofounder) is working on making the next generation of FOSS, decentralized internet (beyond the web). Oaken is a vision to help make running untrusted code on this new frontier safe, opening up far more possibilities. It doesn't exist yet... but now there's funding to build it!

3. Reaction
As the saying goes, without security there is no privacy. "Reaction wants to provide a more modern and efficient approach to regex-based log scanning, allowing multiple reaction instances to communicate, sharing bans across an entire infrastructure as well as more intelligent and user-friendly soft bans."

More intelligent detection and automated security across hosters? Yes please!

2. Mox email management and automation

A modern, easy to set up stack to help people more easily and reliably #SelfHost #Email. Email is critical and the common #SelfHosting narrative is that it's impossible, or at least you need to be a technical grey beard/ponytail ninja to pull it off. Anything that helps make this easy could be HUGE, and I'm all for it!

1. OrganicMaps Convergent Linux UI

A great maps application is critical on any mobile platform, and IMO, @organicmaps is the best #FOSS maps app there is today. It's Android only though, despite having a basic testing tool on #Linux. This project finally funds bringing this amazing map app to mobile (and desktop!) Linux - a big win for mobile freedom. I am PUMPED for this one!
