🚨 New research from ETH Zurich has found that popular password manager's zero-knowledge encryption claims don't fully hold up if their servers are compromised. ⚠️

🔑 LastPass, Dashlane & Bitwarden were identified as being affected, this is significant because cloud password managers commonly claim that their user's data would be unaffected if they were compromised. 👾

✅ Dashlane & Bitwarden promptly issued fixes.

❌ LastPass did not issue a fix and stated: "our own assessment of these risks may not fully align with the severity ratings assigned by the ETH Zürich team."

💡In 2022, LastPass experienced a breach that impacted 1.6 million users due to inadequately strong technical and security measures within their infrastructure.

The best time to switch from LastPass was yesterday; the second best is today. 🗑️

Lastpass is an absolutely AWFUL company.

After LogMeIn got their hands on them the prices skyrocketed from $12 to $24 to $36 to $48 a year for their premium plan.

I switched to Bitwarden, who have kept their premium plan at just $10 a year, for many years now.

With ownership of Lastpass now in the hands of not one, but two investment companies, one really has to question where Lastpass's priorities lie.

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. A gothic sorceress enters a small magic shop, approaching the counter. The gothic sorceress explains her problem to the old seller. She shows her wand with a stone broken on it. > Old Seller: Welcome! How can I help you? > Gothic Sorceress: My magic stone is defective, I need a new one. Panel 2. The old seller put a gem stone on the counter, the gothic sorceress is in shock. > Old Seller: Alright, that'll be 600 gold coins. > Gothic Sorceress: What?! It used to be 40! Panel 3. The gothic sorceress thinks, the old man explains the price increase and a wider view angle show the shop full of Avian Intelligence Parrot. > Old Seller: That's because of Avian Intelligence: we need these stones to make them. Panel 4. The gothic sorceress tries to understand. The old man gives up; the angle is even wider showing more of AI Parrots, a huge pile of them. > Gothic Sorceress: And you're going to sell all of these? > Old Seller: What do you think...

this is a bad analogy, the datacenters these companies are hoarding all of this RAM for haven't even been built yet (and for that matter, I don't think the RAM has even been produced, either)
At least the Avian Intelligences are already actually made, even if they're going to just end up a total waste

It's either very funny or very depressing to watch executives trip over themselves to prove who has the worst understanding of what software development actually entails.
Haresh Ved - Satya Nadella says that 20–30% of all code in Microsoft repositories is now written by AI. - Sundar Pichai says AI already writes well over 30% of new code at Google. What does this mean? - Software development is no longer constrained by typing speed, but by how clearly engineers articulate intent.

We made a video of the top 6 places we visited in Spain with our motorhome-

1. Picos de Europa National Park
2. The Cave of Nerja
3. Bardenas Reales
4. El Caminito del Rey
5. Aguila Cave
6. Mirador de Masatrigo

Spain is a lot more diverse than many people imagine!

I hate to disagree here, but as an admin who deals with *many* users with phones in the wild, this is a *good* move by Google.
They're *NOT* stopping you from side-loading apps. They're doing the same thing banks have started doing when people try to withdraw cash -- verifying that you're not being coached or hacked and that you *REALLY* want to do what you said.
This is annoying to a very small subset of people, and *VERY* useful to a larger group.

Our Friendica is struggling. We get a lot of 502 Bad Gateway (nginx). CPU is at 100% all the time eaten by Friendica. This has happened after the update to the latest Friendica stable. It seems that there are many processes happening in the database.

The post-user table has 64,135,238 rows...I suspect this is an issue. I am not sure if Friendica is reindexing or doing something now after the update...

But needs investigation...sorry for that..

Any tips welcomed!

Hey if anyone is interested we setup instances for Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud and more, See - webape.site/

We do so for a cost so we can afford to also make the many trade-free services and projects we have. See tromsite.com/

If you are interested or may want to help, you can also share this. We setup a separate VPS for each instance and provide updates, support, or custom requests as much as we can, for each instance. Plus an email server for each of them.

With a Pixel 6a. You can see Jupiter in the top center, that bright light. You can also spot the Orion belt right lower side. And left lower side that bright light is Sirus. Lastly see if you can spot Betelgeuse :)

You see what's happening right?

They are preventing you from accessing the means of computing, making you reliant on their services in the future they're building.

We talk about #HolosSocial forgetting some of you might not know this project.
#Holos is a full ActivityPub server running on your device. Currently on Android, next on iOS.
We already introduced #E2EE DMs and #ActivityPub identity through custom domains. You own your followers, your keys, and your identity. Relays are just infrastructure.
On the footer of holos.social we added pages explaining the project. Have a look!

Sorry to ping you here but I tried reaching you on the Matrix (actually registered to do that!) but when I try to /join #fedilab_apps:matrix.org, it always fails. The only thing it suggests is to knock, which I did days ago.

Does this room still exist? How do I join? I have a number of questions, specifically about Holos, but I doubt pinging you here with each of them is the right way if there's a whole community room to ask around.

Motorhome vs Owning vs Renting: Costs and Lifestyle -

Motorhome vs Owning vs Renting: Costs and Lifestyle

This is a long video but I wanted to compare in detail how is living in a motorhome comparing with renting or owning a place. From costs to lifestyle: comfort, resources, toilet, space, etc.. The focus is on Spain since this is where I lived for the past many years.

I hope this video is useful for some.

This is extremely disappointing. This project had a lot more respect for the users of the Fediverse than anything I had seen before while trying to tackle a genuine problem.

The truly disappointing part is similar things with less respect happen all the time and no one gets angry because they aren't being transparent.

We heard you. #HolosDiscover has been shut down, all indexed data deleted, and the source code removed. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Our approach was built with the deepest respect for user consent, but we understand it could rightfully be seen as misusing the indexable flag that many users didn't consciously enable. This highlighted a real conversation the Fediverse needs about default settings. Thank you for the feedback.

This article on AI slop is, ironically and clearly, AI-generated. thestatesman.com/entertainment…

I found it because it quotes me from another publication without so much as hyperlinking the original. Articles on Medium, LinkedIn posts, news and features, everything is AI-generated now. I have stopped visiting these sites.

You truly realize the extend of the problem when you look for articles mentioning yourself or your projects. We develop a Linux distribution called TROMjaro and these days most of the articles we come across mentioning our project is AI generated, sometimes a differently phrased rewrite of previous articles.
