What is a REAL book? 📚

Ich fände es ja super, wenn #Podcasts, die den Deutschen andere #Kulturen näherbringen wollen, die im Podcast erwähnten Künstler:innen vielleicht in den #Shownotes verlinken oder zumindest erwähnen.

Ich verzweifle gerade daran, französische (und belgische) Musiker zu finden, weil sie nicht so geschrieben werden wie der rheinische (!) Produzent und Interviewpartner sie ausgesprochen hat 😭

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.

This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.

Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭

I hope the few #Discord servers I occasionally check have the good sense of moving to #Matrix. Or #XMPP, or #IRC, or #DeltaChat, or #Stoat, or #Zulip, or #Jami, or #Briar, or #RocketChat, or #Mumble... heckssake there are WAY TOO MANY open-source services you can move your chatroom to.

@psc Ich hab die Familie damals(tm) nach Threema umgezogen, und da sind sie (wir) auch noch.
Die meisten meiner sonstigen Kontakte sind in Signal (wahrscheinlich weil kostenlos).
Bin ja durchaus bereit zu mehreren Apps, wenn sie gewisse Anforderungen erfüllen ^^

Unterhaltung mit dem neuen Nachbarn:

witch: Ich bin nicht in der Haus-Whatsapp-Gruppe, weil ich kein #Whatsapp hab.

Nachbar: Ach, ich bin neidisch. Ich habs wegen Ex-Freundin, aber würd auch gern raus.

(Dann mach doch?)

witch: Wenn du #Signal oder #Threema hast...

Nachbar: Hab nur #Telegram.

witch: sorry, das hab ich auch nicht.

Am Ende landen wir dann doch wieder bei #SMS.

Bin ich stur?
...vielleicht 😅

Gnarf.

Der neue #Nachbar hat grad geklingelt um sich kurz vorzustellen.

Und in den 15 Sekunden bis zurück zu meinem Schreibtisch hab ich seinen Namen schon wieder #vergessen. 🤦

Efficiency is the removal of redundancy. Redundancy is a necessary element of resilient systems. The unbounded search for efficiency has one result: brittleness.

Resistance is not futile

@pdl I'm with you, completely. Not just for your and my neighbourhood, but any of them, anywhere.

A few nights ago, the refinery close to me burnt some gas in the night that was audible over several km even through closed windows, and made me realise that the refinery is much closer to me than my biking past it led me to believe. (But there wasn't even a warning on FOSSwarn, so everything must have been harmless...)
So that is probably the inciting incident for my paranoia this time.

@pdl @raineer
I'm already doing offsite backups, no worries.

I'm just not really able to accept that if my neighbourhood blew up, my nextcloud would be down for however long I need to secure new hw, set it up and restore from backup.
Yes, it's a one-witch-instance, not any kind of enterprise.

Reading between the lines of what you and everyone else is saying, I need to reign in my paranoia, but it's hard! 😅

@chrisp I don't often create new passwords any more, so I mostly do the backup-in-all-the-places on demand, about once a month. My automated daily (encrypted) backup "only" gets saved to 1 local and 1 cloud location.

@raineer What is your plan if circumstances make you leave your home for an unspecified time? Take it with you?

I have a data backup in cloud storage if all else fails, but none of the functionality nextcloud brings.

@daj Fully agree.
i have a vaultwarden selfhosted, and regular keepass exports in several places for paranoia reasons.
