@jordyd already followed you :-P
@luisroca IME, not in the slightest.
It may very well be excellent ways to network and get projects, etc., though. I may not be the best example, but that's my experience.
@natecull Clearest indication their demographic is dead?
@jordyd Totally varies by country. Fortunately, my mexican/californian/gringo accent is strong enough that my tu/usted and complete lack of vosotros is understood...
@pdcull Hi!
Although, I definitely work with hardware that could seriously injure if it fell on you. In fact, had a badly bruised hand for several days when the rails on a 40-50lb server buckled as I was trying to find a latch earlier this year.
@luisroca I found this a very strange question since I have never, ever participated in a prgramming language community. I just learned what I needed for each project, maybe googled up or read references for additional details.
Not even like I've been railroaded out. Just....never did that.
Signs of manager-itis:
Me: I've got this info set up-
Mgr: well the person using it will probably need (speculates on all kinds of fancy formats; mine is a simple one-per-line)...
Me: what exact format do you need?
Mgr: I'll have the person contact you.
Me: waits for two months
Person: oh hey, that info
Me: Yeah, it's one line per, mgr told me you wanted something else?
Person: NO THIS IS GREAT I'VE ALREADY GOT IT THANK YOU.
Me: /thinking <shoulda just CUT MGR OUT OF THIS CONVO TWO MONTHS AGO>
So. How's your day been??
And then the final piece of joy on this: Since PIA and Dreamhost are no longer talking to each other, I have to disconnect my VPN each time I check the relevant website here. I need to file more complaints with both of them.
I fully confess: part of my reply included the exact date on which I made the info originally available.
Now I'm even more cranky after dealing with the ALARUM. I wrote the freaking info-miner BEGINNING of Feb. That's TWO MONTHS of them faffing about before panicking.
What you should not forget is that: public posts are public, private posts may still be public if sent to dishonest servers, DMs are not protected by encryption and rely on both involved instance's honesty.
If you allow everyone to follow you your data may get mined just as on the commercial platforms.
If you have a commercial bot (in disguise) in your followers, it will see and mine those toots.
Just being a federation is no silver bullet to the privacy issue. But ou aren't the product anymore.
@natecull Bingo! I refused to install it (or twitter or gplus or...) on my phone for that reason 😣
Of course, your info is still in FB somewhere. All it takes is having had just ONE friend who let FB tap their phone contacts... yours got slurped up then. But at least it couldn't eavesdrop on you on your own damn phone...
I wonder how many years it will take before the next penny drops:
That the contents of your server RAM, on a cloud computing environment, are much like your personal details on Facebook.
Interesting & exploitable.
<<For too long consumers have thought about privacy on Facebook in terms of whether their ex-boyfriends or bosses could see their photos. However, as we fiddle around with our profile privacy settings, the real intrusions have been taking place elsewhere.>>
If you think 'well, Jeff Bezos doesn't report to anyone except the US Government'
Then you have two threat actors. And you might ask: "what would Jeff Bezos like to do with all his power? What has he used it for so far? How has he acted? Who restrains him?"
If you think "nobody seriously would scrape my AD credentials / my SSL private keys / my Bitcoin wallet"
Just remember so many people thought that about "viruses" too.
But algorithms, like viruses, don't have to be targeted to do damage.
End of Feb, Me: Here's that info you wanted?
Beginning of March: "So and so will contact you about getting this info in the format they want from you, so let them tell you what they will need."
Me: /waits thru march with crickets.
Today: ALL ALARUMS ON DECK BECAUSE WE NEEEEEEDZ THIS INFO NAAAAAOOOOOOOOWWW!!1!
Me: /raises one eyebrow
Me: /returns to reading my book
Mwahahahaha...I can log mosh connections using iptables.
For my next tricks, can I get logwatch and/or auditd to note them?
Linux experts/admins!
Is there a way to monitor mosh connections? Logwatch for example will tell me about failed and successful connections for ssh but I can't seem to find anything about mosh. All my google-fu is coming up with are starry-eyed LOOKIT THIS COOL THING WOWOWOWOWOW...
Ugh. I realise mosh is a udp stateless thing, which really is annoying.
Hmmm, maybe an iptables rule to log udp stuff on the mosh ports?
@skquinn actually a lot more smoothly than I thought. What tripped me was relative links instead of absolute links which wasn't quite the fault of the method I used to update with.
So...initial upgrade, less than an hour, followed by (this morning) about 20 minutes chasing down said links (since I moved from one directory to another in the process).
