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.

@jerry supervised botting, perhaps?

childlove.space. Hopefully this does not require further explanation.

@jerry shouldn't that domain name alone qualify for deletion at the registrar due to ToS violations?

Pardon the intrusion. Many thanks to those people who donate to support the fediverse instance(s) you use. Nearly all fediverse instances are free to join and use, but they are not free to run. Most instance operators donate tremendous personal time and money because we believe in a better, more privacy conscious social media and we love the growing community that exists here.

These are tough financial times for many. I believe it is important for people going through rough times to have an access to this social outlet. If you are in a position to do so, please consider setting up a monthly donation to support your instance. You can usually find information on how to do so on the About page of your instance. For example, https://infosec.exchange/about. In my experience, most donors contribute between $5 and $20 per month, with some less and some more.

The fediverse doesn’t sell your data or monetize your social activities, which is how nearly all other commercial social networks pay their bills. We generally are dependent on donations from ourselves and from the people using the instance.

For Infosec.exchange, the bills are about $3000US per month, between server rentals, storage providers, and content delivery services. (If you’re curious, that’s $2k to Hetzner for servers, $300 to Wasabi and Backblaze for storage and backups, and $400-$700 for Bunny and Fastly - and this includes all the various mastodon, peertube, pixelfed, lemmy, bookwyrm, firefish, and other servers). I am fortunate that our donations usually come close to covering the bills. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes less. That’s not the case for many instances, though.

Again, donating is voluntary and not required and there is zero problems with those who can’t afford it. At the same time, donations keep this thing called the fediverse alive, and without them, we won’t go far.

I sincerely appreciate being a part of this community and hope you have a great October.

@jerry damn, those are some serious costs, for what I assumed to be a rather lightweight, mostly text-based application.

@jerry I love how they're not even claiming that it's important or somehow morally right or that they need to stand together or anything, their strongest argument is "don't be an outsider"...

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

siguza,
@siguza@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry the only thing I want from the web interface is to open posts in a new tab, but on my home server, not theirs. There's no option for this yet, is there?

siguza,
@siguza@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry what's even more annoying is that mastodon.social did switch to this behaviour not long after the first big wave of signups last year. I wonder if they just have a custom patch for that or what.

siguza,
@siguza@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry oooh, yeah that does change it.

@jerry the "soon" part is the most ludicrous. "Yeah, the viruses are nice and wait a few days." "The antivirus can hold them at bay for now, but that will soon change for absolutely no reason." "They run very slow because that's how viruses work." ???

@jerry I guess that happens if you look at the server timeline rather than following people who post relevant stuff? This reads to me like they want an algorithm to pick out their timeline for them.

What I want to know is if the iPhone 15 is the fastest iPhone ever. If so, time for my 14 pro max to go 🚮

siguza,
@siguza@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry iPhone 15 has A16. iPhone 15 Pro has "A17 Pro". So the 15 can't be the fastest.

Should we even let married people who have consensual sex with each other run for public office? Seems kind of risky https://apnews.com/article/susanna-gibson-virginia-house-of-delegates-sex-acts-9e0fa844a3ba176f79109f7393073454

@jerry when you realise that there's a demographic of politicians who only have non-consensual sex...

I need to rescale the US access point for infosec.exchange. It should be seamless and non-disruptive, but in case something happens, that's why

@jerry real talk, we're lucky to have an admin as competent and invested as you.
