And in other #hacking news: “Twitter data dump: 200m+ account database now free to download: No passwords, but plenty of stuff for social engineering and doxxing” :-( by #TheRegister theregister.com/2023/01/05/twi #edtechSR #security

So many years we fought with the Twitter API. I love that if you want an RSS of someone's Mastodon feed, you just add .rss at the end of their URL. Open Web, my friends. hachyderm.io/@shanselman.rss

Mastodon is a terrible thing.

It’s so nice here I don’t want to go and do anything ….

@pallenberg
Totally. It's so much nicer here in the Fediverse.

Okay, we know... We made fun of Adobe when its cloud service went down. We've made fun of Corel Painter and Clip Studio. We joined in the protest No AI Generated Images protest. We made our stance on NFT's clear. But this is beyond making fun of. This is EW! EW! EW!

Woo hoo! Figured out how to code my RSS feed to have both news database listings and image gallery updates! adamlein.com/rss.php

My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.

@KimCrayton1 Some instances have DMs disabled completely, which is awesome. Fediverse should be all public. Here's a fork that disables DMs: source.puri.sm/liberty/host/sm

@cbyrd01 Keepass is my favorite. No server sync (unless you want to make your own or use cloud storage), huge ecosystem of client apps on literally every platform, can be used with Yubikey or password files, can be 100% offline, can be used with a web-based client, etc.

@jr 1Password is a centralized service just like LastPass, so it could easily have the same problem of getting compromised on their servers someday. BitWarden lets you host your own server and put it behind a VPN for more security. Or you can use Keepass database files and sync in any number of ways.

Glad I switched to Keepass back when eWallet didn't support Windows Phone 7. The ecosystem is so much more diverse and sustainable. @keepassxc

If you’re really worried about an mRNA vaccine versus the virus, you should stop right now

The virus has much more mRNA, uses it harmfully, and puts it all over your organs

Really cool seeing a little presentation from James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, and Stephen Lang after watching Avatar 2 at Lincoln Square.

After seeing Avatar 2 again last night, I heard a guy in the lobby yell, "Papyrus!!!" Which is a reference to the below video. James Cameron had seen that SNL skit and decided to double down on the Papyrus font, so everything in the movie was Papyrus! youtube.com/watch?v=jVhlJNJopO Hilarious!!

Oh hell yeah. @mozilla is launching a Mastodon instance in early 2023! I’m very excited for this. Mozilla is really good at what they do. Firefox has over 200M monthly active users, and with any luck they’ll build better support for the fediverse into Firefox itself. Mastodon will greatly benefit from easy to use professionally run instances that can handle massive scaling blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mo

Doesn't TLS with DNSSEC & DANE mitigate the metadata leakage problem?

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

If you want to link your #Mastodon account on #Twitter, you can use a URL shortener to bypass the filter that #SpaceKaren put in place. I can highly recommend this one: spacekaren.sucks
