There's a pleroma fork that is offering public, full-text search including posts from other instances. This is bad and has huge potential for abuse (and in my testing it also mis-attributes the content of boosts to the booster instead of the author).They claim to offer opt-out to server admins - I recommend you take the offer. I'm also blocking the instance personally to avoid delivering posts, but its not clear whether they also actively crawl public posts#FediBlockhttps://infosec.exchange/@leakix/109296274969102502

For locals, here's a Loomio proposal for @SocialCoop to make that opt-out request: https://www.loomio.com/d/lgws0pnL/a-server-is-offering-public-full-text-search-of-our-posts

Corrections: - UI looks like pleroma, but it doesn't seem to be a full server (nodeinfo is 404)- They do actively crawl instances local timeline stream so you cannot use an instance block to avoid them- Users can also opt-out individually via their search discoverability settinghttps://fedsearch.io/privacy

- It doesn't honor the user-level opt out correctly when someone who has not opted-out boosts your post

@r000t @nikodemus Gonna save this as the new navy seal copypasta. The concern trolling at the end really sells it

Since there's an influx of fellow nerds getting ideas a about new @activitypub projects:Did you know the @guppegroups server is <250 lines of code? That's because it's powered by activitypub-express, the modular ActivityPub implementation for NodeJS with 90% test coverage.https://github.com/immers-space/activitypub-express

Why did Mastodon kill the "proceed to follow" feature for when you end up on on someone's profile page and need to get back home to follow them?Yes it was confusing at first, but this new "copy this URL and then find your way back home on your own and search" is still confusing also feels way more broken.

When I first saw the PR for killing "proceed to follow," I thought, "oh they must have revamped linking so that you don't end up unnecessarily on people's web profiles any more and they just don't need this feature," but nope I don't see any changes there

@cwebber I know the test suite has been a thorn to keep running, but I've been thinking: most anyone who would want to use the suite would.be experienced in building and running software locally, right? Maybe just a basic guide to run the test server locally is all we need

@feld @yogthos @doomy Not wise to judge train travel as a whole by Amtrak. America is intentionally bad at trains as a part of a cia coordinated anti-communist propaganda campaign.

@textfiles This was so obviously a political statement, calling attention to the unique political corruption in the US that fuels our onerous tax filing system, and, as of yet, not an actual downloadable piece of software (although, considering MSCHFs record I wouldn't be surprised if they did plan to publish this as functional tax software). I'm sure Intuit Inc appreciates your service reporting this.

The details in the anime dating sim tax software are hilarious. And yes it really does prepare a valid tax return https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/30/anime-girl-tax-dating-sim-mschf/

They say anime dating sims set unrealistic expectations, but that that bit about the crypto seems spot on

Quite timely for Musk to declare his intentions to copy WeChat's "everything app" model, as we have a proposal before @nlnetlabs to create Tools for Interactive Services in the Fediverse as an alternative because we predicted the privacy-violating social giants would soon move to copy the WeChat model.https://gizmodo.com/twitter-x-elon-musk-wechat-everything-app-1850322566

@activitypub we should consider this signing key / recovery key division as an addition to #ActivityPub ... could allow users to move accounts out of dead/hostile servers without requiring any changes to our current message signing schemehttps://atproto.com/guides/overview#account-portability

It's tank man day tomorrow. It was in 2019 that I learned that he walked away unharmed from the incident. Full video from CBS news below.Then in 2020 I learned how American state security forces would handle a similar challenge (warning 2nd link is disturbing) https://youtu.be/vSbx352cn8Ahttps://youtu.be/BiU8sL7Yq9Q
