Do you know about http://verybad.kushaldas.in:8000/ experiment? This web application has a lot of #security holes, and I tried to secure it using only #systemd. Feel free to do a round of #pentest, #attack the box. Remember to let me know what did you find.

The box is up from April end 2022.

Please boost so that your other security minded friends see this. I try to make sure that any learning from this goes back to systemd upstream.

If you only recently joined #Mastodon or still find it all a bit confusing, take a look at our new blog post where @ruario gives us an introduction into what Mastodon is, what it isn't and how to find an instance to join.

this is the most succinct response I've ever seen to the comment "but Android is Linux!!"

I passed my PhD qualification exam!

Hey infosec tooters, I'm looking to find somebody who can speak frankly and on the record about general user concerns with maybe-burning Twitter. Like does deleting your DMs actually do anything, that sort of topic. Who should I talk to?

100 Mastodon myths:

1. Mastodon is hard.

FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.

2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.

FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.

3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.

FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.

4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.

FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.
