@stephan Yeah, I wanted to convey the feelings and story of the song. And I'm not good at acting. 😅

It's the same for me. The music video project was fun, but rather a challenge to try #OpenSourcd #VideoEditors driven by curiosity to experience the process of making it. 🤓

To be honest, I think that video people might have come up with better or other ideas. And I'd appreciate if somebody wants to do this. However, my focus is the music. 🎸

Der #eXit ist machbar.

Diese Organisationen stehen zu ihren #Werten und lassen sich nicht kirre machen vom vorgeblichen #Reichweite-Verlust. Bravo, #eXiters. Ihr seid ein großartiges Vorbild! 👍 🎉
Teilt dieses Bild bitte auch auf anderen Plattformen, um zu zeigen, dass es immer mehr werden.

Die Überschrift lautet: "Sie sind alle raus aus X" Unten rechts im Bild findet sich noch ein QR-Code und ein Link auf die Petition, mit der die Hochschulen in Deutschland aufgefordert werden, ihre Accounts bei X zu schließen und verstärkt im Fediverse aktiv zu werden.

@stephan You're welcome! 😊

Nice that you already came across these projects. Your Flames music video looks great. I like the images flowing into one another and the music is perfect for a late and lazy Saturday morning. 🥴

I can totally feel you. I'm no video artist either and I did the #Influenca musicvideo rather to explore current possibilities of video making with #FreeSoftware. And before that I was also having a hard time looking for somebody else interested in this realm.

BTW: If you are open to a community of music people that happen to use #FLOSS and #Linux :linux: be welcome at sonoj.org 🎶

I know it's a long shot, but I got to try anyway 😅

With my new #album around the corner, I'm looking for #video #artists interested in doing a video for one of the new songs.

If you're interested, drop me a DM and I'll gladly share the song(s) and more info.

You can hear some of my previous work here:

Dear Fediverse, I don't have any money until next week. I'm not going to starve to death or anything, I've got food, my rent and bills are sorted, but I am rather broke. If you feel like buying some alty electronic indie rock, I've put my music at the lowest price ever on Bandcamp limneticvillains.bandcamp.com/
Or you can get it for pay whatever you like on Faircamp (which is even better) and if you want Bandcamp codes I can send you those also! faircamp.radiofreefedi.net/lim
Check it out either way! Thanks!

In der Liste von #Hochschulen, die den #eXit vollzogen haben, hatten wir die Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft #HTW_Berlin vergessen. Sorry.
Sie hat Anfang des Jahres ihren X-Account still gelegt, d.h. sie postet dort nicht mehr.
Bravo, @HTW_Berlin, ein guter Schritt! 🎀
👉 htw-berlin.de/
Zudem auch ein Kanal ins Fediverse eingerichtet und das X-Logo von der Homepage genommen wurde (kleiner Tipp: nun noch das Mastodon-Logo auf die Homepage setzen).
Viele potentielle Follower wären sicher interessiert, wenn die bisher auf #X gebrachten Infos über den #Mastodon-Kanal zu erfahren sind.

#Telegram is a tricky ecosystem from security perspective, because it’s quite diverse and complex:

  1. Public groups and chats are widely used by both #Russia and #Ukraine. These include both publicly available and “private” (invite-only) chats neither can be really considered secret because…
  2. …group chats can’t be end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), so their contents are readable to at least Telegram operators, probably as easily as running a single SQL query.
  3. Telegram bots don’t support E2EE either.

So here’s an important distinction: while Telegram is great and highly usable for disseminating public or semi-public information (unencrypted public or invite-only groups), it’s quite poor for highly confidential communications. Yet, especially the Russian side uses it a lot for just that - there are reports of “secret groups” used for front-line command or control, correction of fire or as a channel for communication with spies and collaborators in Ukraine. Except these “secret groups” really aren’t, at least not in OPSEC and cryptographic sense (groups can’t use E2EE in Telegram).

This is one purely marketing win for Telegram, because even mainstream journalists notoriously confuse these concepts.

Yes, it is technically possible that a Russian operator opens an actual “secret chat” with each of his collaborator, but it’s highly impractical and I doubt majority of them do it.

Which is further confirmed by the panic caused by detention of Durov in Russian military channels 🤷

In any case, France taking over Telegram infrastructure is still highly speculative - the main point of the arrest is almost complete lack of moderation in Telegram, even for the most severe CSAM (child abuse) content.

While in Russia arrest of Durov would likely lead to his genitals being connected to a field telephone in order to convince him to hand over the infrastructure (that’s why he ran away from Russia in the first place), in #France he will be likely just subject to a regular, boring law enforcement process that ends with a trial and suspended sentence, at best, if he agrees to improve content moderation. Part of the panic in Russia is that Russian routinely project the practices of their own law enforcement onto everyone else.

Who knew that it's possible to boot straight into UEFI setup by just running "systemctl reboot --firmware-setup"? 🤯

It makes all those times I was mashing F12, as soon as the computer started booting, utterly pointless — especially after getting Linux installed.

Well, at least I know about it now.

New, by me: Local Networks Go Global When Domain Names Collide

The proliferation of new top-level domains (TLDs) has exacerbated a well-known security weakness: Many organizations set up their internal Microsoft authentication systems years ago using domain names in TLDs that didn’t exist at the time. Meaning, they are continuously sending their Windows usernames and passwords to domain names they do not control and which are freely available for anyone to register. Here’s a look at one security researcher’s efforts to map and shrink the size of this insidious problem.

From the story:

"It looks like all of the police cars there have a laptop in the cars, and they're all attached to this memrtcc.ad domain that I now own," Caturegli said, noting wryly that "memrtcc" stands for "Memphis Real-Time Crime Center."

Caturegli said setting up an email server record for memrtcc.ad caused him to begin receiving automated messages from the police department's IT help desk, including trouble tickets regarding the city's Okta authentication system.

Ein Hoch auf #openstreetmap @openstreetmap !

Mein zukünftiges Zuhause war mit seiner Adresse auf Openstreetmap noch nicht zu finden. Aber kein Problem! Hab es einfach auf der Karte eingezeichnet. War ne Sache von 2 Minuten.

Mach Google mal klar, dass da irgendwo im Neubaugebiet nun eine neue Wohnanlage steht - ... nicht so einfach und vor allem nicht schnell. Klar kann ich einen Marker auf der Karte setzen und dann "Ort hinzufügen" wählen. Dann aber nur als Punkt - ich kann nicht selbst zeichnen und auch keine Metadaten eintragen.

Openstreetmap hat sich schon wieder bewährt! Und da auch Post/DHL das nutzen, findet der Postbote uns hoffentlich.
