Oh my! I want all five Oglaf books! But that price is a bit stiff for me, so if anyone wants to give me a Christmas present… 😅

Wall Street Journal reveals that Trump and Musk coordinated to actively cause the death of civilian Ukrainians by crippling Starshield, which Ukraine relies on for their intercepter drones.

The Nuremberg process will be a spectacle after this war.

In a major milestone for immunological science, the global medical community celebrated a definitive turning point in the treatment of chronic autoimmune conditions. The fundamental breakthrough centers on the discovery of the molecular and cellular "brakes" that actively prevent…

This is no different from how it is already, though. If a user posts a CSAM link, your server immediately visits that link to scrape it, and you suddenly have that content on your server.

Of course, if you have a blocklist of forbidden sites, then your server will know not to scrape that site. And the same thing applies if we allow servers to send pre-scraped metadata. If the incoming message is for a blocked URL, just drop the message and don’t save any part of it.

The only new threat here is for a malicious server operator to modify outgoing messages to include CSAM metadata on a harmless link. However, that possibility already exists with any other photo posted on the fediverse.

This would actually make everything so much better. Years of feeling stuck begone.

VICTORY! EFF, our co-counsel and our clients have won our lawsuit against the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. A judge agreed OPM violated the law when it disclosed millions of federal employee records to DOGE agents. The court will decide the remedy at a later date. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/victory-court-rules-opms-disclosure-personal-records-doge-unlawful

Retrieved these from ye olde post office box today. I feel special and am excited to read and luxuriate in these treasures by @colorblindcowboy . Thank you, Kent! 🧡

Either publishing server should serve the metadata - although it would be prone to bad actors, so a refetch in the next 0-180 seconds would be appropriate. Or just add a random 0-60 second delay before fetching the data.

@lispi314 @pinskia @cr1901 OpenSSH is a great example of a C program that hasn't gotten popped by "C issues" in... how long? I don't even recall the last issue that wasn't some 💩 library folks were linking in, like systemd or pam.

Thanks for bringing this up. I think in general we need to work on optimisation of Activitypub and Threadiverse implementations of it.

@pinskia I started out cautiously optimistic about Rust. Between the Palantir nazi situation and the embrace of vibecoded RIIR shit, I am so done with Rust. Something being written in Rust is an immediate "do not want". I hope eventually the GCC Rust frontend will make it possible to use the occasional Rust stuff I might need for something, but I really hate it.
