Tiistaiaamu alkoi vahvasti.

Kaadoin vesilasin pöydälle ja siitä vettä myös lattialle. Pikamoppaus ja aamupuurolle.

Avasin Linuxin ja yhtäkkiä ruudulla oli ilmoitus Discord päivityksestä. Ilmoituksen pudotusvalikossa oli vain kolme asennusvaihtoehtoa. Yksikään ei sovi Archille. Avaan AI:n ja tarkistan ajanko Discord päivityksen oikein. Ensin tarkistettiin mikä versio minulla on nyt. Vanha se olikin ja sitten ajoin sudo pacman -Syu komennon. Listalla olikin se ja nyt häivisi se ilmoitus. 👌

En ole ennen nähnyt tällaista kiinteää ilmoitusta, jota ei voinut ohittaa. Aina oppii vähän uutta. Jokaisena päivänä. Hyvä juttu.

The #Discord breach is yet another example of why no online service should ever be required or even permitted to accept uploaded ID images. If it's necessary to verify ID, or at least age, either do it on device or through an in-person service, or cease operating in the jurisdiction till that necessity ends.

Every one of these services is a data breach waiting to happen, and once the identity documents are breached, as well as being means to identity theft, they can be used for impersonation on every other service requiring uploaded ID. And the ability to re-use the uploaded ID proves the futility of that form of verification anyway.

Just like biometrics, visual verification of ID cards only has security value when done in-person. All the requirements of ID image uploading are just security theatre, which shift liability from the service to the user while magnifying the harm to which they're exposed.

Just a FYI my Castopod front end is currently down. Thank you to @jaz for letting me know.

You can follow the RSS if you'd like: https://audio.firesidefedi.live/@firesidefedi/feed.xml

That still works and everything seems to work, except the front end.

I don't know PHP or Castopod really, so hoping @Castopod can give me any way to troubleshoot this issue. I'm in their #Discord and I'll get this working ASAP.

You can also find the audio versions on the major podcast apps as it's syncing from Castopod.

@TheDailyBurble, happy to help.

Another cool feature of #XMPP are "gateways" that make it relatively easy to connect with other IMs and protocols. So you can have all these contacts in the same app(s).

e.g.
#Libervia to #ActivityPub and #email (CC @Goffi )

https://nlnet.nl/project/Libervia
https://libervia.org

#Slidge to all sorts of other IM like #Matrix, #Mattermost, #Steam, #Discord, #Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger etc. (CC @nicoco )

Deswegen ist die @kuketzblog Messenger-Matrix super.

#Discord ist auch nicht gerade zu empfehlen.
Wäre toll, wenn deine Community auf Matrix wechselt, oder dort zumindest eine Gruppe/Space entstehen könnte. Eventuell überbrückt zu Discord.

Würde #unplugtrump und #savesocial entgegenkommen.

Asking in English in hope that it'll reach more people! Do you know of some soft a deafie could use to game with her pals? Like, one that could transcript what people say in their mics? Not necessarily free, I'm willing to pay for something that works well, even if it would be a real pain in the ass because I think that a second screen will also be mandatory at some point.

Asking for a me.

Please, boost so a girl can play with her friends 🥰

@drahardja @anji to your point about OSS #UX, #Keet's is actually quite good IMO (though it is not yet open-sourced); and the onboarding is much smoother than it used to be (although initial sync of the app data still takes a little while).

Meets the #Discord crowd's needs of video & audio chat in large groups, which AFAIK #Matrix does not.

SO! More fun times with #selfhosting ... after I fixed Jen's video on Peertube, now Castopod is experiencing an issue. So if you can't get the audio version at the moment, that would be why. Getting an unserialize php error when attempting to start it so I'm wondering if it's a DB issue that happened when the disk filled. So while I wait for someone to help in the #Castopod #Discord I'm debating just moving the audio version NOW under BT Free. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Discord isn’t open, and open source deserves better. I bridged IRC to Matrix using Heisenbridge on OpenBSD.

"A catastrophic breach has impacted Discord user data including selfies and identity documents uploaded as part of the app’s verification process, email addresses, phone numbers, approximately where the user lives, and much more.
The hack, carried out by a group that is attempting to extort Discord, shows in stark terms the risk of tech companies collecting users’ identity documents, and specifically in the context of verifying their age. Discord started asking users in the UK, for example, to upload a selfie with their ID as part of the country’s age verification law recently.

“This is about to get really ugly,” the hackers wrote in a Telegram channel, which 404 Media joined, while posting user data on Wednesday. A source with knowledge of the breach confirmed to 404 Media that the data is legitimate. 404 Media granted the source anonymity to speak candidly about a sensitive incident."
