@mcc regarding V: it makes (or at least did in 2024) quite a few false claims: https://justinas.org/the-bizarre-world-of-v (and from 2023: https://n-skvortsov-1997.github.io/reviews/)

@hexaitos the laptop that I take with me to school: daily
the laptop that stays on my desk most of the time: about once every few weeks, whenever I need to update the kernel for security patches (which has been more often than I'd like it to be recently), or I update KDE and screenshots stop working until I restart it (at which point I may as well reboot and get kernel updates applied too)

@eloy is it just 1.31.0 or are older versions affected too? I'm still on 1.22.1 (debian oldstable) and 1.30.1 (gentoo)

fun trick: if someone gives a hosted LLM a skill that lets it fetch web pages (directly, not through some third party scraper service) and it's hosted on AWS, you can often trick it into fetching data from the AWS instance metadata server (IMDS) at 169.254.169.254 / [fd00:ec2::254]. the higher end models tend to refuse if you give the IP, but you can just spin up a domain with A/AAAA records pointing at that IP and request that instead. if IMDSv1 isn't disabled you can get secrets out of it.

As part of the hardening effort, and because ActivityPub is “basically email”, I propose Sharkey should switch to federation over SMTP only

@eloy I don't think Lynx uses SQLite (but it also doesn't use an individual file per cookie)

morning!

@burger @catsalad @urig @neutronstar also Android devices with no Google Play Services or microG (like mine), and of course non-Android (e.g. postmarketOS) devices

@CinnamonCatYurilover @kemona_halftau there are also some alternative frontends but the two mastodon ones (masto-fe and fedibird-fe) available in the frontend package manager thing are very outdated and broken and pl-fe nicolium (a soapbox fork) I couldn’t get to work at all

@kemona_halftau and entirely JSON-LD-free!

@CinnamonCatYurilover @kemona_halftau it has themes. there are some presets and you can also completely customize all the colours/fonts/roundness shadows

reboot complete, akkoma decided to recompile itself on startup for some reason (even though I didn't touch it)
