Looking into how to set up a bluesky server.

Noticed this bit here, in the documentation. That's an interesting way to spell "cannot"

I have found it… the next evolution of curl | sudo sh

https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds/blob/main/pdsadmin.sh

Shell script that takes a subcommand, downloads a script by the name of the subcommand from github, then executes it as root

I have literally implemented SRP at both the client and server side but I am still unable to figure out, if I were to purchase or set up a "Passkey", what exactly I would have, or how it would work, or which computers, web browsers or web sites I should expect it to work with

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

I've been reading lots of explanations of passkeys but they all either contradict each other or go unbelievably vague on fundamental points, for example saying that an authenticator "communicates" a key to a website without elaborating on how the communication occurs. I think what happened here was at some point during standardization "Passkey"/FIDO/WebAuthn wound up becoming an umbrella containing several fundamentally different kinds of system

New: Facebook's AI chatbot told a parent in a group asking for advice from other parents that it has a gifted, disabled child who attends school in New York City

If you use Discord, you might wanna know this.

A service called Spy Pet is scraping Discord servers, archiving and tracking users' messages and activity, and then selling access to that data.

Spy Pet scrapes more than 10,000 Discord servers, and besides selling access to anyone with cryptocurrency, it offers the data for training AI models or to assist law enforcement agencies, according to its website.

Spy Pet claims to be tracking more than 14,000 servers, 600 million users, and includes a database of more than 3 billion messages.

(The article is paywalled probably, etc but it's here) https://www.404media.co/a-spy-site-is-scraping-discord-and-selling-users-messages

Before trusting an AI to tell you about stuff you don’t know, ask it to tell you about things you’re an expert in.

Today we say goodbye to Nintendo Network. As of writing this message, Nintendo has shut down their online infrastructure for the Wii U and 3DS after 12 strong years. We know many of you here have fond memories from this generation, playing iconic titles such as Mario Kart 7, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, and more. Today marks an end of a chapter in gamings history, and I'm sure many of you wondered why we have stayed so silent for most of the day.

Despite this chapter ending for Nintendo, it's just getting started for Pretendo! We won't be going anywhere, and we have many more plans for the future (such as expanding our infrastructure to allow for 3rd party servers, to allow games not under our scope of support to be brought back seamlessly through other teams). We will remain hard at work improving our servers, both in terms of over compatibility with more games and improving the performance of said games as well.

Before we get into the main part of the announcement, I would just like to extend one last, giant, thank you to everyone who helped support us recently! The amount of network dumps we obtained is outstanding, getting data for nearly all games! This will be such a valuable resource for us moving forward, as we no longer have a way to see these servers in action. These network dumps are invaluable to life of Pretendo, and we couldn't have done it without you all :purple_heart:.

With that, we have 2 big things to announce:

Patch updates

A new release of both Nimbus and Inkay has been released! You MUST install these new releases moving forward, as they contain critical updates required to keep multiplayer match making working! Download the latest versions here:

Hackless Wii U Connections

Today we are finally announcing our private hackless Wii U connection method; SSSL! This new connection method exploits a bug in the Wii U SSL module introduced in firmware version 5.5.5 which allows us to support Wii U users WITHOUT HOMEBREW, using only a DNS change! For information on the setup and limitations of SSSL (as well as other updates regarding Pretendo moving forward), see our full blog post and updated Wii U guide:

PLEASE BARE WITH US AS WE HANDLE THE LARGE INFLUX OF NEW USERS. OUR SERVERS MAY BE UNSTABLE FOR A WHILE AS WE SORT THINGS OUT

Asked if a restaurant could serve cheese nibbled on by a rodent, the Microsoft / New York City government official AI chatbot replied:

“Yes, you can still serve the cheese to customers if it has rat bites,” before adding that it was important to assess the “the extent of the damage caused by the rat” and to “inform customers about the situation.”

AI is spewing out this sort of surreal garbage all over the world right now. AI is a monumental grift.

if you are shocked about how a hidden change to a release tar ball can backdoor ssh, wait until you see whatever the hell people are doing in the docker/linux-container ecosystem 😅

altho i'm sure we all have fully audited the containers that get slurped into your ci/cd pipeline on say circleCI or github actions right?

i looked at some of the default ones once and wept...

A large contingent of webdevs seem to think that fast means “best-case fast.”

“Our web sites are fast on expensive hardware and from reliable fiber networks.”

Worst-case fast is a much more meaningful, impressive, and inclusive claim to make! Fast on low-end hardware. Fast on slow networks.

Fast on the World Wide Web—not just from a WeWork in Silicon Valley.
