Checking with my boyfriend to see which computer chaos news has broken containment of Mastodon. He hadn't heard of "4” but now has the impression that it has become 6/7 for computer folks.

If you’re using today to promote your workalike clone of a php app written in a “safer” language it tells me you’re really not understanding just how shaky these various pieces of foundation-level technology truly are, bottom to top.

Systemic issues do not get fixed by individual acts.

you know it's a bad day in IT when @rysiek gets quoted in the Guardian

@thirstybear Yes, I'm studying a service of print on demand that writes they deliver to "200+ countries", so I guess UK will be part of it. I'll know more details soon, and I'll try to post on the blog and here an announcement.

Ever feel like the days drag on but the years go by quickly? You might be on Mercury. There, the time from sunrise to sunrise takes ~176 Earth days, but a year is half that, ~88 Earth days.

Hello, we heard everyone has been having a great time with security releases so we're doing one as well. Here's v0.22.3 of #GoToSocial aka Shrubbiest Sloth Ever:

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.22.3

Release highlights

• Bump required Go build version to v1.26.10 to mitigate CVE-2026-111943 by distrusting select intermediary authorities so server admins (and docker users) don't have to update ca-certificates themselves (see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/82348).
• Fix an issue in the dereferencer where remote accounts could masquerade as other remote accounts with sneaky URL shenanigans. Thanks to @elise for reporting this.

⚠️⚠️ We recommend everyone running GoToSocial update to this release at their earliest convenience. ⚠️⚠️

For everyone already on v0.22.x it's a simple update with no migrations or config changes. For everyone below v0.22.x, see the release notes for migration instructions.

Thanks! Sorry! Thanks!
