The comments and abuse reports about people sympathetic to the Palestinians or to the Israelis is getting out of hand. I understand this is an incredibly charged and difficult situation for everyone. Seek first to understand before being an asshole to your fellow humans from behind the relative safety of your computer monitor, please.

The lessons of today: do not roll your own encryption and do not host your own dns

@jerry So, i get why you shouldnt roll your own encryption.. but why DNS? Just for sanity's sake?

It’s not even 6am where I’m at and I’ve already apparently illegally suspended the account of a Brazilian super model who just signed up. How’s your day going?

@jerry “Illegally” ? Are there laws about such things in Brazil?

@owen @jerry Go make an account on any new social platform, see what your timeline is full of.

probably 25% People talking about joining, and probably promoted content.
Now.. remove the promoted content.

Now, spend 6 months interacting and following people building a list of contacts and interactions. Your content feed looks like what.. 40% if you’re lucky meaningful interactions and content, the rest promoted/ad content.

@owen @jerry Now.. consider a new platform, that doesn’t have the filler/promoted content… what are you left with?

Give mastodon time, try to interact.. it’s taken me months, but starting from my own instance up to now…. Its easily a pre e-day twitter experience from a meaningful content perspective.

Next month will be a year since the fediverse went nuts after the melt down

@jerry I’m kind of curious, did twitter ever have anything to say about all of this? Like.. Musk was essentially forced to buy them as I understand it. Who forced that? Do they feel bad about that?

Just deleted the X app. Time to let it die in peace. Hopefully everyone else can, too. There are better options.

@jerry when the little bird turned into an x on my app drawer.. i deleted it.

Load average on the ISE database is getting into the 30’s. Time to think about that sapphire rapids upgrade 💸

So, I;m considering creating a talk to deliver to my local defcon group (that i help run) about the fediverse, and its importance.

I have a few ideas on what to include, but I'd like some info from other 's and folks who are just passionate about the importance of decentralized social media.

I'd love input from folks like @jerry here. Please reblog/tag folks who might have some insight here.

Thanks!

Removing the ability to block someone on a social network? Wowza. I better get some new servers going.

Out of curiosity, is anyone able to get to this matrix room? #openpgp-general:infosec.exchange https://matrix.to/#/%23openpgp-general%3Ainfosec.exchange

Not sure if something is b0rked with my matrix instance or if operator error.

gangrif,

@jerry yep joined. it’s rather sluggish. but that could be on my end. my matrix instance is always slow.

I also ran into a really odd iptables problem... when I meshed in the second app server node using wireguard, my egress filter rule was blocking outbound traffic on both hosts. After some fiddling, out of frustration, I flushed the rules out of iptables on both hosts - so no rules. And... iptables was still blocking the outbound traffic. I ended up having to reboot each host - and once I did that, things worked ok. Has anyone seen iptables go into zombie mode before?

@jerry your torment is appreciated.. or i assume it is.. i appreciate you whether i’m on your instance or not.
