rektifier,

Following the breach, NXP reportedly took measures to boost its network security. The company enhanced its monitoring systems and imposed stricter controls on data accessibility and transfer within the company.

This is the real damage. China is establishing a surveillance culture in the west. By threatening to hack our computers, they hacked our culture instead.

I work at a company that is doing more and more security controls and it’s sad to see the culture of openness get chipped away little by little by this.

rektifier,

and GNOME 3 too

rektifier,

It’s 9 inches!

rektifier,

Even if they have the source, they may not have all the build tools anymore.

Or they have the build tools but the wizard that set up the build system back in the day no longer works there.

Or they have the build system archived and documented but it doesn’t run because some license expired, and the tool vender doesn’t sell that version anymore.

In the near future, there will be another possibility - SaaS cloud tools that are impossible to preserve so they are forever lost.

    rektifier,

    Don’t have a problem with them

    rektifier,

    Wasn’t facebook also found to store images that were uploaded but not posted? This is just a resource leak . I can’t believe no one has mentioned this phrase yet. I’m more concerned about DoS attacks that fill up the instance’s storage with unused images. I think the issue of illegal content is being blown out of proportion. As long as it’s removed promptly (I believe the standard is 1 hour) when the mods/admins learn about it, there should be no liabilities. Otherwise every site that allows users to post media would be dead by now.

    rektifier,

    Check Internet Archive. It was a torrent site.

    rektifier,

    I’m fine with this. Instances shouldn’t proxy or cache images because it opens instance owners to a lot more liability than text. A client side setting to not load images in comments by default is better.

    rektifier,

    This must be BS or a regional thing. All the RCA ports I’ve seen in North America are labeled L and R, not L+R and L-R.

    rektifier,

    Combined toilet-sinks are a thing. It saves water by reusing the water you used to wash your hands to flush the toilet.

    rektifier,

    Nay. Banning the defederationists makes you as authoritarian as them. We should instead constantly remind them that much of the social progress they take for granted today were made possible by free speech.

    rektifier,

    Nay for now. While there's a few communities on lemmygrad that I want to see like Late Stage Capitalism, lemmygrad has been defederated since day one, and all of us (should) have known this when we joined, so there's no hurry to refederate with them.

    The real solution is for Lemmy to let users block instances from their own view, then all the defederation discussions will be moot. When that happens, we should do as you proposed - federate as much as permitted by law.

    rektifier, (edited )

    I should clarify. When the skinheads from the Nazi house down the street come over to visit, they must follow our instance-wide and community rules. This should be a basic fediquette for everyone. If they repeatedly fail to do that then we will have to defederate them. But if they check the swastika at the door and keep the Nazism to themselves while they're here, I don't see why not. Most of the calls for defederation so far have been about people not wanting to see activities happening on remote communities on certain instances.

    It all depends on how the other instance responds.

    • If their admin don't want to do anything about users causing problems in other instances then I'd say defederate temporarily (1 month or more) each time their users break our rules.
    • If their admin actively encourages this kind of behaviour then defederate permanently.
    • If they have rules against bad behaviour on other instances and non-negligible consequences for violations then try to work with them, but still defederate temporarily (~1 week) when our/their moderation team can't keep up.

    [Vote] guess I gotta make a post for this over here. Do we defederate with exploding-heads.com

    My primary argument is that they post hateful content and covid conspiracies and it is irresponsible to platform this by including it in our federation. Secondly we already got rid of lemmygrad. Thirdly, there's little to be lost in the defederation given the type of stuff being posted over there. Do as thou wilt...

    rektifier, (edited )

    Nay. You're gonna encounter these people IRL. It's better to prepare yourself in a low stake environment like an internet forum.

    rektifier,

    Let's wait for per-user instance filters to be implemented, then everyone can block instances to taste. As long as their users don't cause trouble in our communities, there's no need for our instance to act as a moral guardians and decide what our users can and cannot see. Defederation is a nuclear option that should only be done if their instance is disrupting our instance's operation (spamming and breaking rules while in our communities).

    I like that sh.itjust.works currently federates with almost everyone, and I can see a big part of the fediverse from here. It would suck having to visit multiple instance to see the whole fediverse.

    rektifier,

    I store my clothes in a stack, and I usually wear the same few pieces until the season changes.

    Beehaw defederating update - sh.itjust.works

    Like many of you, I woke up this morning to discover that our instance, along with lemmy.world, had been unexpectedly added to the beehaw block list. Although this development initially caught me off guard, the administrators at beehaw made an announcement shedding light on their decision....

    rektifier,

    I don't like the idea of coalitions at all. To me it feels like the coalitions would become very "us vs them", i.e. you must defederate all instances that allow any topic in this list or we will defederate you. It leaves no neutral ground, creates echo chambers, and deepens the political divide that plagues our society.

    IMO it's better if

    1. Lemmy allows individual users to block all communities from an instance or all users from an instance, sort of like defederation but per-user.
    2. Instances have the rule that "when you interact with other instances/communities, you must follow all their rules, or we will suspend your cross-instance posting rights for X days".

    Then instances can act like neutral infrastructure/identity providers and each user can decide exactly how they want to interact with the fediverse without causing fragmentation.
