@fifilamoura Ah. Thank you for sharing. Makes more sense that she's a cult member.

“AI is not "democratizing creativity." It's doing the opposite”

> The AI companies, of course, do not much care if they take a wrecking ball to the already fragile creative economy.
" *Long-lived access tokens* are valid for 10 years. These are useful for integrating with third-party APIs and webhook-style integrations. "
Is this a good idea from #security perspecitve? I do not think so, but what is a better way?
Probably we need a standardized #API endpoint e.g. "renew-token" (like auto discovery)

Just for kicks, I set up a VNC listener (not a full-blown honeypot) on port 5900. For a whole ight, it was hit only 3 times and these were just scans - not login attempts. Probably not worth the bother to make a real honeypot for it.
What about the rest? According to Greynoise, all of them except Oracle get practically no attacks - but maybe I'm using Graynoise's service incorrectly.
Maybe I should set up a simple listener for Oracle connections and see if it gets anything meaningful overnight...

The best thing with Vanilla Music App is that it allows browsing through a directory (folder) on the file system.
That is missing in all other players that I've tried.
Nuff said.

Vanilla Music player
**Note:** As of 23. Jun 2024, Vanilla Music is *no longer* available in the Google Play store:
I simply don't have time to comply with random policy changes and verification requests.
Any release you see there is probably an ad-infested fork uploaded by someone else.

Without promoting it, here’s the Right-Wing plan to deconstruct the administrative state by firing qualified government experts and replacing with Trump loyalists and religious zealots.
“The Project 2025 document outlines four main aims: restore the family as the centrepiece of American life; dismantle the administrative state; defend the nation’s sovereignty and borders; and secure God-given individual rights to live freely.”

i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around.
it's a real oddity and a real beauty
### Integration quality scale
The Integration Quality Scale scores each integration based on the code quality and user experience. Each level of the quality scale consists of a list of requirements. If an integration matches all requirements, it's considered to have reached that level.

Ever wanted to hook some work-in-progress to the Internet for testing but afraid that someone breaks or vandalizes it?
Just hook nginx reverse proxy with client certificate authentication on it and you can be quite sure only those you trust can access.

Thanks for @Viss Security Fest presentation about the idea.

Today in 1994, 30 years ago: Spain suffers a heat wave. Murcia has a maximum temperature of 47.2 °C, the highest recorded in the Spanish provincial capitals. Record also in Alicante with 41.4°C.

#Whatsapp also stores the local history in plain text but stores the data in a location accessible by any process/app/script started by the user. The user won't get a permission prompt.
#Signal only stores the text part of the local history in an encrypted file -- the encryption key is stored in Keychain. However, media attachments (such as photos you send and receive) are stored locally without encryption. … 🧵

Hey #AskFedi,
Does anyone know of any #Linux email or contact manager programs that can handle contact groups (not mailing lists). This is implemented as the "CATEGORIES:" field in #vcf
I have one Android app (Fossify Contacts) that can use it (and it works great), but neither Thunderbird nor KAddressBook seem to support it.
