Well, after enabling captcha and watching spam registrations continue + a bit of taunting from the newly registered spam accounts, I feel confident that this is, in fact, not driven by bots. Yet there are aspects that still look like they are.

The battle against spam signups to Infosec.exchange continues. At least a hundred so far. And zero spams sent. I suspect the actor here will get annoyed soon and try a ddos next. Time to accelerate that move behind fastly.

@jerry who did you piss off now. is it Hamas?

The Israel/Hamas situation is really bringing out the best in people on the fediverse today. RIP my reports.

@jerry @davep makes it rather easy as it brings out the idiots of any colour.

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?

Is anyone having issues with notifications not showing up in their mastodon notifications until refreshing the web browser?

I have a similar problem in fedilab but i blame it on fedilab.

There’s a lot of consternation in the fediverse lately about instances blocking each other, admins fighting, blocklists, and the like. If you’re on an instance that blocks other communities you want to participate in, politely ask your moderators/administrators to reconsider. If they disagree, I recommend moving to a different instance rather than a prolonged argument. Some administrators prefer erring on the side of over blocking and protecting their user base than being permissive and expose their userbase to riff raff or, in some instances, just to avoid the appearance of being too permissive to other instances.

Life is short. Find an instance that works for you.

(Edit: and the converse is true - if your instance is overly permissive and you are regularly being harassed or otherwise bothered and your moderators aren’t responding as you expect, find another instance that is better aligned to your needs. Life is still too short. Find an instance that works for you)

I'm glad i have the social skills of a Koala, and mute anyone posting anything resembling emotional drama. In other words this is the first I've heard of it 🐨

Happy Friday! Don’t forget to git push to prod on your way out this afternoon

@jerry years ago before automated deploy tools, we built our own frontend deploy interface on git. For one april fools we built in a randomizer: deploy a random tag to a random environment. not saying anything..

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry later we replaced it with a "do you feel lucky" button.

I really hope I figure out what I’m doing soon. 😐

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry I always hope that the people around me do know what they're doing, yet I recently learned that might also not be an ideal strategy.

Is anyone using the Mastodon app on Android having trouble logging into infosec.exchange or other mastodon instances, with the error that it "seems not to be a Mastodon server"?

I don't have android and it appears to be working fine on iOS

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry
Nope

jerry, to random
@jerry@infosec.exchange avatar

Something to note for people using Mastodon 4.2.0-xxx - the advanced/multi-column layout now has a different URL. If you use a shortcut to get to a mastodon instance and have the advanced web interface enabled, you will land on a non-advanced, single column layout. Update your shortcuts to include "deck", such as:
infosec.exchange/public/local becomes infosec.exchange/deck/public/local

hayo, (edited )
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry
Am I allowed to pronounce deck like a new zealander?

Do I have to many orchids? Yes
Did I just buy more anyhow? Also yes

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry many is not the same as too many. and with orchids, there's no such thing anyway.

I am going to start wearing one of those belts like Blaise Pascal did so any time I have a non-Infosec thought, I can hit the belt and stab myself to get back on track

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry hang on, that was a non infosec thought

jerry, to random

This whole business of infosec.exchange not having exclusively infosec content has me so upset that I will be posting more cat and orchid pictures to make myself feel better

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry
This makes me be able to live with myself for deleting my pixelfed account and moving all images here

jerry, to random
@jerry@infosec.exchange avatar

well that was fun. The surge is over. Here come the people saying "wait, there are non-infosec comments?!?! I was told this was infosec.exchange!"

Back to our regularly scheduled day.

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry
Most my infosec team meetings are about whisky and survival gear. It always feels strange how little of that content is here.

I have bad news everyone. Tonight I am turning infosec.exchange into a private facebook group
/s if not obvious

That was always the end goal.

@jerry what did elon do now.

@jerry @JulianNorton maybe it's BECAUSE he didn't do anything dumb for a day. It confuses people.

Imagine paying to be shown ads every few posts.

Then again, that pretty well describes cable TV, doesn’t it?

hayo,

@jerry which i haven't watched since 2007 so yeah. there's that.

I guess Mastodon has made it, because the vaguely mistargeted DMs asking me to do stuff and getting mad when I say that’s not something I do with my reach have started… well, more upside than downside.

hayo,
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@hacks4pancakes how did you get 40k followers? If i'm to believe the twitter-hanger-ons, there's only 2k mastodon users worldwide.

jerry, to random
@jerry@infosec.exchange avatar

I can't figure out how to keep pixelfed from doing horrible terrible unspeakable things to high res picture uploads....

hayo,

@jerry
There's a lot that doesn't really work. But this is one developer. With a lot of adjacent projects.

Back to my regularly scheduled animal pics. This is with an 85mm lens at f1.8.

hayo,

I can't believe you haven't bought an 800mm lens yet. Feels missing in your collection.

@jerry i was wondering. How would the Fediverse react if the CIA had an account here? I remember how they reacted to the CISA account :blobcatrainbow:

Also, the conspiracy theories about the fires on Maui are just… wacky

I thought they were caused by DNS

@jerry just wondering, is there a setting or somesuch to enable markdown in user profile bio texts? Fedilab app recently made it possible to use markdown, but that doesn't render in profile pages.

hayo, to random
@hayo@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry when i look at my profile, it says 0 followers, 0 following. Yet i have not showing those stats switched off. is that setting maybe cached somewhere (though i remember glitch just showing a dash) ...

also did you already get a new highscore on your fever? can always be higher...
