What can possibly go wrong? 🤔 Nun ja, es trifft dann hauptsächlich nur diejenigen, die die Produkt-Entscheidung getroffen haben.

Ich muss unbedingt mehr 🍿 besorgen ...

The #icq messenger will be shut down soon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icq#Shutdown

I just wanted to log in one last time to see if I've got some messages in the last two decades where I was not using the service any more.

"Server error". OK, then good bye without checking!

You've been my first #messenger service AFAIR and the most important during my time as a student.

My number was 6986939 which is <10mio. Now you know how old I am. 😜

I write a blog article on the #security breakdown of #Microsoft, focus on lost #Azure #cloud keys, not realizing being compromised by state actors for years & infiltrated security team. See list on https://karl-voit.at/cloud/

I need a catchy but not too clickbaity/exaggerated title so that I don't lose potential readers but also express the importance/impact.

Help me brainstorm.

My draft: "The Security of Microsoft Services and Many Windows Hosts Is Compromised" but I'm afraid that is too weak.

I'd like to use a workflow where each #Mastodon message that gets bookmarked by me is automatically screenshotted to PNG, archived in a local directory and its text content + image descriptions get added to a text file (preferably #orgdown) together with a link to the screenshot and the original message URL.

Somebody willing to volunteer? 🙇

#fefe mit einem durchaus interessanten Punkt:

Der Bau des neuen Stromkabels von #Deutschland über den Ärmelkanal nach England kann auch bedeuten, dass die Produzenten in Norddeutschland es satt haben, auf eine Stromtrassenerweiterung nach #Bayern zu warten, wo man durchaus viel davon abnehmen könnte.

Na dann profitieren mal die Engländer davon ...

Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave #reddit for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my #firefox isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent #Atom/ #RSS aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

#reddit doesn't let me log in using my #Firefox:

"An error occurred. Please disable any extensions or try using a different web browser to continue."

Anybody else affected? Could not find anything with that error message so far. 🤷

Two Santa Cruz students uncover security bug that could let millions do their #laundry for free.
#CSC ServiceWorks provides #laundrymachines to thousands of residential homes and universities, but the company ignored requests to fix a security bug.

https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/17/csc-serviceworks-free-laundry-million-machines/

Some companies do not even seem to care about #security at all even when their whole business model is in danger when they don't fix reported issues in time. 🤷

#JohannesRauch macht das einzig Richtige und korrigiert diese wiederkehrende #Impfgegner-Lüge von den ach so vielen Impfschäden mit den Fakten: 200 Impfschäden bei 20 Millionen Impfungen. Eine der sichersten Impfungen überhaupt.

Die #FPÖ verkauft das dann entsprechend ihres Narrativs:

#willhaben steigt aus Sicherheitsgründen von #TAN via #EMail auf TAN via #SMS um.

Glaubt nicht diese Behauptung. SMS ist gleich unsicher wie E-Mail - beides unnötige Risiken, da es gute Alterantiven gibt.

Wenn willhaben tatsächlich daran gelegen wäre, unsere Sicherheit zu verbessern, würden sie effektive und sichere Authentifizierungsverfahren wie #FIDO2 unterstützen anstatt Handynummern abzugreifen.

Mal sehen, wann die meine Handynummer durch Hacks/Leaks verlieren ...

I need to get a new smartphone since my Pixel 4a ran out of support already. 😞

I narrowed down my options to three devices that fit my requirements.

The Pixel 8a seems to be cheaper and even better compared to the 8.

I won't use games or any of the AI stuff nor Google cloud services. Therefore, I guess that Tensor 4 of the Pixel 9 won't provide much benefit to me.

Unfortunately, the #Pixel 9 design looks great to me. 🤔

What do you recommend? 🤷 (and why?)

What would you guess how long it takes for a single #photon that is produced in the core of our #sun to reach the surface of the sun? (no peeking!)

Hint: from the surface of the sun to earth, a photon flies about eight minutes.

I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.

I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.

Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.

Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇

What happens, when you join two paths in a #programming language when the second one is an absolute one?

join("foo", "/bar")
returns "foo/bar" or "/bar"?

I can not tell what version I'd actually prefer. There are situations where both versions would be "proper".

People using #Obsidian (and similar) don't even understand when I'm writing about #lockin situations.

If those services could be easily replaced by any Markdown edtor and a decent sync mechanism, why are they using those services in the first place? 🤷

I'm going to blog about that to make it more clearer.

publicvoit, 27 days ago to Logseq

Good news and bad news for users if #logseq:

They're working on a DB version in parallel that will provide better scalability, performance and realtime #collaboration (#RTC). They'll charge for RTC.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the end for #orgdown markup as they are implementing #Markdown only now and a conversion feature later on. 😞

Therefore, logseq is not an option for me any more and I'll need to think about a migration strategy for my wife.
