Big Tech is trying to get away with breaking the rules - again. #Google and #Musk have already been held accountable, but now lobbyists are pushing to weaken the rules that protect our safety, #privacy and money online. We can’t let them succeed✍️ Add your voice and tell EU leaders: protect people’s safety, not billionaires’ profits!

As a followup, today is also 2153rd of March 2020.

I haven't heard of GoToSocial but @cmccullough moved from a GTS instance to his new home and lost a bunch of his followers.

Can we boost this around and help his peeps find him?

telnetd server invokes /usr/bin/login (normally running as root) passing the value of the USER environment variable received from the client as the last parameter.

If the client supply a carefully crafted USER environment value being the string "-f root", and passes the telnet(1) -a or --login parameter to send this USER environment to the server, the client will be automatically logged in as root bypassing normal authentication processes

In telnetd for a decade 💀

@ret Cool find! Hope they all work (other than the broken one) and you can do something cool with them

imo, stux is responsible for keeping the fediverse going by providing a reliable and safe alternative for people who want a big instance that isn't the main mastodon.social site.

When you go to the lavatory, spend a longer time there than is necessary.

@kwf And if they’re flipping over, does the drill old miss the circuit board?

@DeltaWye Arc flash is a scary, very dangerous thing

“Imagine a burst of energy so strong that it shines as bright as the sun, rises to a temperature more than three times the surface of the sun, and creates a pressure wave on par with the blast of a grenade. Now imagine all of that just inches from your hands.” - Angelo Verzoni, National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)

Been thinking about this post lately

Fürs Radfahren bezahlt werden ist an sich ja schon genial. Aber bei so einem sonnigen Traumwetter spontan eine dienstliche Fototour fahren zu können, ist nochmal ein besonderer Bonus 🤩

Dieses Mal sogar ohne kalte Hände, die endlich eingetroffenen (dünnen) Lenkerstulpen wärmen deutlich mehr als gedacht. Keine 3°C und die 1,5h gingen komplett ohne Handschuhe. War sogar so kuschelig warm, dass ich überlegte die Lüftung zu öffnen 🤯 Und das Fotografieren ist ohne Handschuhe auch deutlich entspannter. Muss die Position nochmal etwas anpassen, aber grundsätzlich funktionieren sie schon sehr gut.

I remember.

A Supreme Court case about a bank robbery could redefine digital rights in the US. I wrote about it and its implications. https://werd.io/who-owns-your-data/

Following a thread by @dianea about disabling car tracking, I’m curious.

How do you use navigation in your vehicle?
