Hey everyone!

I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.

So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)

It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.

All this talk about #xzorcist over the weekend, I want to also point out that it's important to remember that the "software supply chain" largely does *not* exist in regards to open source, because most people have no real relationship other than parasitic consumption with the project.

@Di4na's great blog post on this topic explains it quite well: https://www.softwaremaxims.com/blog/not-a-supplier

My thoughts on this xz/liblzma stuff[0] is that we're reaching a boiling point where no one checks anything. Until we make simpler systems with less moving parts this will continue to happen.

Dlatego proszę Was o wypełnienie krótkiej ankiety z 4 pytaniami.
Z góry dzięki!

Saw a very pretty black catte chilling in a window in the sun and a very polite duck this morning on my walk, it was nice.

To all Fedi Admins currently being hit with a spam wave:

Defederate from these instances:

social.cutefunny.net (warning: CP)
cunnyborea.top
m.mxin.moe
friendsyu.me

Block the following E-Mail Domain and whatever temp Mail provider it resolves to: chitthi.in

All our spam accounts came from this E-mail, the above instances seem to not do anything against the spam.

Since you probably have some of these accounts sleeping:

https://[your-instance.tld]/admin/accounts?email=%25%40chitthi.in there just select all and press “Ban”. Good luck, everyone!

#FediBlock #FediAdmin

There's currently an incident involving some kind of Japanese skids who call themselves the "Kuroneko" organization.

They seem to be attempting to commit DDoS attacks on Misskey servers, constantly creating new accounts on compromised instances and spamming advertisements for their hacking services.

Admins who are federating with these compromised servers, while they might not get compromised themselves, may be affected by the sheer amount of traffic volume from their spam.

Admins are advised to #fediblock or temporarily stop sending requests to affected servers for now, if they don't want to get secondhand DoS'd

IMO I never expected them to be Japanese out of all things, kinda funny. They also host VOICEROID and VOICEVOX TTS bots on their Discord apparently. Kinda a weird flex I guess.

But yeah, probably just a bunch of skids.
