The list of shout-outs in the main announcement pertains to projects who have partnered with the SWF, and intend to support it and collaborate.
It's also worth keeping in mind that there are more than 80 different platforms in varying states of development. Yeah, Lemmy is one of the bigger ones, and OG Threadiverse, but the list of platforms to name is absurdly long at this point. I think it makes sense for them to focus on the protocol, and immediate partners.

They sort of have, but without a lot of explanation: it's the self link directly under the "follow us" header. You have to navigate to their contact page to have it formated as a proper ActivityPub address.

I think one issue we have is how hard it is to find instances, communities, or even other media like this, since they won't even show up in your search if they're not already federated with your instance. And since many servers block crawlers, it is hard to index them externally too.
I think that really limits the reach and the perceived size of the Fediverse.

Yeah, discovery remains one of the big domain area problems for the network. There's some promising work happening in the space, but it'll be a while before we see something.
Incidentally, our publication is federated, and can be followed at @news@wedistribute.org!
I wanted to understand their perspective. But that doesn't seem to be something they are willing to share in any more detail.
There was no implication being made.
What measure of difficulty of content discovery are you using to determine that it is difficult? What would not difficult content discovery be? What content is there is desired to be discovered What do you mean by, 'there is no "why" here'?
I have many questions about how people perceive the current state of things and what they view as potential areas for improvement.
These are all different questions than "why do you think it these are issues to overcome?". Perhaps it was not your intention, but your original question came off as challenging OP's complaint.
What measure of difficulty of content discovery are you using to determine that it is difficult?
Get 1000 random people, ask them to list 3 to 5 of their interests and to find them on "Lemmy". See how many successfully complete the task in less than 5 minutes. Do the same on Reddit.
What would not difficult content discovery be?
- A better onboarding wizard.
- An unified search engine that index all of the content, not just what is available in an given instance
- Recommendation algorithms (no, not all algorithms are bad)
- Searching people by their interests
I think that WordPress integration has been added to Lemmy, so you should be able to also follow WordPress blogs right here, they show up as communities.
I mean I'm not sure how well it works, last I checked it was very glitchy.
For another useful resource, this site is really helpful for decoding what cronjobs are in plain language.
OnFailure in your .service file if you want some thing to happen when that specific service fails, but I don't know if there's a blanket way to tell systemd to notify via email when any failure happens (I wouldn't mind a desktop notification... will investigate)
When I checked a long time ago, there wasn't.
And not only failures, often it's useful to get mail for all executions.
I guess cron continues to have its place.

Element Starter: open source meets on-premise collaboration
After trying to understand if Synapse was still the preferred community method for Matrix after the post on Element X/ESS, I thought I'd share this.
Element Starter is a game-changer, offering a free (as in beer) self-hosted version of Element Server Suite. It is a lightweight version of the officially supported Kubernetes-based components found in our paid packages (Business, Enterprise and Sovereign) - the very same stack used to power the biggest Matrix homeservers in the world; built by the team who created Matrix.Element Starter is designed to allow anyone in the world (who doesn’t need to start with our powerful paid-for enterprise features) to adopt Element Server Suite for free. This option gives them all the real-time communication functionality they expect from a leading messaging and collaboration app with the added benefit of self-hosting to ensure data ownership and control, while building on a wrought-iron foundation which is futureproofed for commercial support and features on demand.
Really surprised I can't located migration methods anywhere, though. And that all the Element X app repos are still labeled pre-release but the blog says they are production ready.
Edit: This does require sign in and terms of use agreements, so I'll be sticking to my Synapse docker container for now.

NodeBB v4.0.0 Beta
Last friday I quietly tagged a commit on the activitypub branch with v4.0.0-beta.1, which signals that the ActivityPub integration is now ready for beta testing.
For the most complete (yet readable) list of new functionality from the alpha, check out the "Road to Beta" project page.
tl;dr — some new features and a lot of fixes
- Editing a category now issues an
Update(Actor) repliesis now populated and responds with an OrderedCollection of direct replies (see the post about that)- Proper
sharedInboxsupport - Better indicators for content that comes from non-local (aka "remote") users
- Conversational
contextsynchronization mechanic (corresponding post for that) - Moving a topic out of the "uncategorized" category will now federate out an
Announce
By and large most incompatibilties have been resolved, although if you do find some issues, please do let me know in the corresponding bug report thread.
I'm looking to wrap up the year with some of the more difficult projects I've put off
* Object Integrity Proofs, which will also enable Inbox Forwarding
* Better handling of "Open in App" signals from third-party instances
* Post visibility support (or at least better handling so non-public messages aren'y unceremoniously dropped!)
* Ongoing integration with FEPs 400e and 7888

Grovt dataintrång utfört av Iran påstår Säpo. Irans säkerhetstjänst har genomfört en specialoperation mot mål i Sverige. Det påstår i alla fall Säpo. Genom ett grovt dataintrång tog hackare över en svensk sms-tjänst och skickade 15 000 meddelanden med uppmaningar om hämnd mot koranbrännare. Enligt åklagare var målet att skapa splittring i det svenska samhället. Det visar en svensk förundersökning som nu är nedlagd.

Announcing: frog-protocols for wayland
From the repo
Wayland Protocols has long had a problem with new protocols sitting for months, to years at a time for even basic functionality.This is hugely problematic when some protocols implement very primitive and basic functionality such as
frog-fifo-v1, which is needed for VSync to not cause GPU starvation under Wayland and also fix the dreaded application freezing when windows are occluded with FIFO/VSync enabled.We need to get protocols into end-users hands quicker! The main reason many users are still using X11 is because of missing functionality that we can be shipping today, but is blocked for one reason or another.
Mesa MR to add support for the 'frog-fifo-v1' protocol :(github.com/misyltoad/frog-prot…)

Yay, another set of protocols that will just lead to more and more fragmentation.
You do acknowledge one issue with Wayland, probably the biggest issue with Wayland, but then fail to acknowledge the second biggest issue with Wayland being fragmentation.
Solve one issue by making another issue worse.
Wayland's approach has always been to make 3rd party protocols easier to opt in and out of. Sway and Hyprland both used custom protocols whilst official solutions were being designed iirc. Nothing stopping anyone from switching from one protocol to another if they implement the same thing down the line.
At least this way, compositors may be able to use something like frog as a shared "experimental branch" which can be enabled for users who need them, but otherwise disabled whilst Wayland core isn't pressured to work faster.
It's up to Wayland to make these projects obsolete if it causes them or users a problem.
that's just the thing, This is again, more fragmentation, Some compositors support always on top, some don't, you choose x protocol for your app, and now your app works great on sway, but not on KDE or gnome, or it works great on gnome and not kde or sway etc. As an app developer the situation is a bloody joke. My current stance is "just use xwayland because wayland will never be suitable" and thankfully with cosmic and kde both supporting "don't scale xwayland" this seems to work well.
EDIT: they also make enough deviances from the upstream protocols that this can't really be considered a "experimental branch"
EX: github.com/misyltoad/frog-prot… vs gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland…
I like the approach here, but the requirements are a little vague and prone to bikeshedding. Stuff like "could this be used by multiple clients" might mean a protocol is held in limbo whilst it's given extra scope for example.
It'll need some strong moderation which might rub people the wrong way, but if this keeps Wayland's cutting edge moving whilst the official solutions are found, I'm all for it.
Octopuses and fish caught on camera hunting as a team (ft. octopus punching fish)
"Octopuses normally hunt alone, but footage captured by divers has revealed that they can collaborate with fish to find their next meal. The videos, described today in Nature Ecology & Evolution (citation 1), show that the different species even adopt specific roles to maximize the success of joint hunting expeditions."

A 9.9 is pretty bad no matter what. They wouldn't rank it almost a 10 if it was some obscure bug that is very hard to exploit.
With that being said it is hard to know without details
This link should be working.
Quoting from the OP tweet:
* Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
* Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
* Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
* Still no working fix.
* Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
* Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.I've spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can't accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.
Since this affects Linux and others, I'm guessing this is about OpenSSH. But I'm not very certain. Just can't think of another candidate.
But holy sh, if your software has been running on everything for the last 20 years
This doesn't sound like glibc as someone in the thread guessed.
Could be quite a few different things.
Could be the kernel itself, gnupg, openSSH or even bash.
But we won't know for sure, until it's publically disclosed.
Could be the kernel itself
Wouldn't make sense to me because the thread says GNU/Linux and others, though this could relate to Android or distros not using any GNU.
gnupg
Usually not exposed to the network though, but it's generally a mess so wouldn't be too surprising
Another candidate I have in mind is ntpd, but again that is usually not easily accessible from outside and not used everywhere, as stuff like systemd-timesyncd exists.
Just want to stress that I'm not sure about it being OpenSSH, it was more supposed to be a fun guess than a certain prediction
I can't think of anything except the kernel that is genuinely obligatory on all Linux systems, including embedded. Not glibc (musl). Not udev (mdev). Not systemd (OpenRC/runit/etc). My guess is that this is another exploit of something the reporter hasn't realized isn't mandatory because they're not familiar with non-mainstream distros. I suppose it could be a kernel issue that Android has specifically patched, but if that's it it'll be fixed in short order.
In other words, not exactly holding my breath.
If it's only GNU Linux - and not regular Linux - then we know it's not the Linux where the issue occurs. 
(Just analyzing what's said. It's probably all linuxes if it's not a glibc issue)
It says GNU/Linux but also says "and others" which could mean anything. eg doesnt specify if something like Alpine would be affected—is that "and others"?
In any case, I'll wait 2 weeks and find out.
Looks like its out there now:
evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Atta…
Short version (correct me if I'm wrong):
If you have CUPS service cups-browsed on your machine and you for some reason exposed that to the internet (port 631), you are about to get pwned.
EDIT: It also requires the user to print to the malicious fake printer.
Disappointment? Only if you mean the person that came up with FoomaticRIP.
For those who did not read the entire thing, it's a so called "filter" that converts the document before it's sent to certain nasty types of printers. Except it's not executed on the print server. The unauthenticated print server can just ask a client to run it on their side. And it's designed to be able to execute ANY command.
Getting very close?
At this point they should just have that announcement when they actually have the thing.
God idk what version I'm even using. I never update programs like this unless I have to. From breaking things, to confusing my workflow and moving things around; I've always been more frustrated than thankful. I haven't updated Reaper in ages too and I'm certain they're better about keeping continuity than anyone.
Edit: lol people are mad about my own software updating habits? why and how are .worlders this way? I can't imagine the realities they live in, and am glad so
Maybe some people just click dislike because it has lots of dislikes? Who knows :)
