SimpleMobileTools ist tot – es lebe Fossify!

Heute müssen wir neben Manipulation und Schlamperei über ein weiteres Missgeschick reden, was FOSS passieren kann. Es ist sogar das nächst liegende und passiert häufig. Der vorliegende Fall allerdings sticht aus

I wonder why the Android Gmail app shows the number of emails in your trash. They don't do that in the web version.

I use filters and labels pretty extensively, so this breaks the ability to quickly scan my unread emails.

Minor nuisance, but still makes me wonder about this design decision/inconsistency.

ist gefragt. Nachdem großen Update der Messenger-Matrix habe ich noch den Line-Messenger ergänzt. Ich bitte alle mal einen prüfenden Blick auf die Matrix zu werfen - insbesondere auf jene Messenger, die ihr selbst benutzt. Sollten Angaben nicht stimmen bzw. überarbeitet werden, so meldet das bitte. Entweder hier oder über die Projektseite.

@kuketzblog Super Übersicht, danke! Leider muss ich den Zoom sehr klein stellen, damit alle Messenger auf den Schirm passen. Da fehlt mindestens eine Möglichkeit, horizontal zu scrollen. Oder noch besser: Ich würde alle raus werfen, die nicht FOSS sind. Ein entsprechender genereller Hinweis würde reichen. Dann entfallen Discord, iMessage, Skype, Viber, Whatsapp. Das trennt schon mal die Spreu vom Weizen. Wer diese Messenger benutzt, muss nicht detailliert wissen, WIE SCHLECHT sie sind ...

Angebliche Stromausfälle in Deutschland: Alarm im Mittelstand

https://taz.de/Angebliche-Stromausfaelle-in-Deutschland/!6003798/

> „Es geht ums blanke Überleben“, sagt eine mittelständische Firmeneigentümerin bei „Lanz“ – und klagt über Energieknappheit. Was ist zu tun?

Das ist so witzig, da bekommt ein Unternehmen nicht Stromausfälle im Millisekundenbereich auf die Reihe, vernachlässigt also seine eigenen Sicherungspflichten, und kommt damit ins Fernsehen 😂

Upd.: etw. längerer Rant von mir wurde als Leserbrief in der taz publiziert

Gebe ja nie mein Geburtsdatum bei Onlineportalen an.

Bei den Prepaid-Marken der Telekom muss man in der Bestellstrecke auch kein Geburtsdatum angeben.

Daher weiß ich nun, dass Post und Telekom das Geburtsdatum und den zweitem Vornamen einfach aus dem Postident-Verfahren mopsen und für so 'n Marketingkokolores weiternutzen. 🙄

It was also ethical matter for me, I didn't want to deal with , so morally bankrupt corporation, in any way. Both for data stealing, violations and disrespect for users and for compliance with authoritarian governments and creating technologies for oppression.

Yes, I wrote this in form as a reason, in more detailed way, until I used character limit.

Now I feel... More coherent? And it's good feeling.

food for thought:

zero commercial airline pilot pre-flight checklists covered things like "missing bolts causing the plane to depresurize" and "the wheels keep falling off".

computer security works in very much the same way - "compliance" is that preflight checklist. its a bunch of checkboxes you should look at before flying (and the FAA will essentially force you to because its the rules)

but it ABSOLUTELY does not cover everything, and MANY THINGS WILL KILL YOU that arent on the checklist.

It should not have taken me 45 minutes or more to setup 2FA again with LinkedIn. And then to have repeatedly failed because it couldn't verify the 2FA code I was feeding it after entering the secret key, ... To say that I'm pissed is an understatement.

I've been getting a bit lost on my career building. I knew what kind of job I want to do, but I don't know what practice and other preparations to prioritize. And I have to network with people too.

I just have no clear direction right now as I still mind-wander about the many software, protocols, or security practices I should study. But I've also been thinking about skills that involve the social aspects of security. Hmm..

    Making pattern is one of my ultimate highs in crafting garments. I do my best to document the process every time it happens because it’s so time-intensive and I don’t know when the next opportunity comes.

    This latest pattern is called mokume (I.e. wood grain), and it’s my first time doing it!

    I've recently signed up to the privacy-preserving service Proton. All the email, calendar, drive, VPN, and other services seem to hang off the proton.me domain.

    I saw a parking fare payment device today that had its Internet-facing IPV4 address (maybe for the cellar modem?) displayed on the front panel. It was at the bottom of the screen along with some other stuff.

    Is that a security problem? I probably wouldn’t have designed it to show that IP address. But maybe depending on how security is set up that might not be all that useful to an attacker? (Not an IT security export here.)

    PC_Fluesterer,
    @PC_Fluesterer@social.tchncs.de avatar

    @DeltaWye I don't see a problem here. Compare it to any other webserver whose IP address MUST be visible by definition. If the device should be vulnerable it will get hacked anyway, known IP or not. There are specialized search engines such as shodan to scan the entire net (ALL addresses) for vulnerable devices.
