Dieses Geschäftsmodell „entweder Totalüberwachung oder bezahlen“ finde ich einfach nicht seriös und schon gar nicht unterstützenswert. Damit schaffen wir eine Zwei-Klassen-Gesellschaft in der nur die, die es sich leisten können, ein Recht auf Privatsphäre haben. Das geht so nicht

A domain ending in .ORG has been the key signifier of non-commercial, public-minded organizations on the 'net since the 1980s. The sale of the .ORG registry to private equity needs to be halted, until we can guarantee the rights of nonprofit Internet users.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/12/we-n

Not only does Google want to know what you buy (Google Pay) they also want to know where it came from, where it was delivered to, and when. And if you have Nest cameras, etc, they know who delivered it (recent facial recognition push) and who physically picked it up and brought it in, or ran away with it. yay.

Google wants couriers to show tracking information in Google Search

Invasive #facialrecognition at festivals can:

• Match your face to home address & ticket purchase details
• Put your face & name permanently in govt databases
• Lead to arrest for minor offenses at events

IT-Sicherheit und Datenschutz ist eben nicht einfach nur "fancy stuff", den man sich bei der Entwicklung von Produkten besser gleich spart. Ja, ihr coolen App-Entwickler-Geschäftaführer, ihr seid gemeint. #dataprotection #ITSecurity #GDPR #DSGVO twitter.com/heiseonline/status

Der alternative App-Store F-Droid ist nicht nur besonders verbraucher*innen- und #datenschutz-freundlich - er wird auch von einer Gruppe ehrenamtlicher Unterstützer*innen betrieben, gepflegt und weiterentwickelt. #TagdesEhrenamts mobilsicher.de/ratgeber/verbra

Oh btw, about a month ago we handled ~200k visits in a day, ~12 pageviews per second, ~1Gbps bandwidth, on a WordPress site on our infrastructure... without breaking a sweat.

How? Years of polishing our front-end caching reverse-proxy config. Is it #FLOSS? Of course it is: git.occrp.org/libre/fasada

Also, thanks and kudos to #Greenhost for hosting our edge nodes.

Point is: no, you don't need #CloudFlare.

Millions of SMS Text Messages Exposed In Unencrypted Database
it.slashdot.org/story/19/12/02

A bulk message provider. Stored years of sent and received SMS. Unprotected. On the net. Including sensitive data. That company is in the wrong business: it should rather be busy at street cleaning, collecting garbage.

Unprotected was just a follow-up error. What is the need to store those messages in the first place?

I really wish that academic studies on Mastodon like this were not funded by UK's Orwellian programs on Defence and Security:

arxiv.org/pdf/1909.05801.pdf

Anyhow, the paper contains useful statists. For example, it points out that Amazon 🤮 hosts more than 30 percent of the Mastodon users.

@mmstick this is much better than polling all the time (your initial approach) or sleeping all the time, blocking the whole thread (your 1ms approach)!

But I don't think it's okay to just spawn a thread from a random library in a language like Rust, either. See github.com/sozu-proxy/lapin/is

An okay solution would be for your crate to have optional Cargo features that would enable integration with tokio and async-std reactors, and use an internal reactor if none of them is enabled.

@fmai Meine Einschätzung habe ich übrigens aus einem Diagramm, das zeigt, bei welchem Hoster die meisten #Tor-Relays laufen. Der größte Kreis in der Mitte, das ist Hetzner:

Marketing your ActivityPub project is essential for platform growth.

I look forward to blogging about this!

- a free open source operating system designed for security and to protect user privacy, has decided to add to their official social media. I came across this yesterday from a post on their forums asking about it. That post seems to have been quickly deleted without a reply.

The project is built on and is well integrated into , working with and on other host OS. It has been one of my preferred ways to use the network over the past few years.

Knecht Ruprecht sagt, #Sicherheit gebe es nur mit #Überwachung. Glaubt ihm kein Wort!

Sicherheit bietet nur ein freiheitlicher Rechtsstaat, und wir empfehlen Übungen in digitaler #Selbstverteidigung.

Die gibt es ab dem 1.12. in unserem #Adventskalender.

Boost if you want #purism to find a #librem5 reseller here in #germany, where a lot of support for the project comes from!
