The upgrade went smoothly and took less time than I expected. Let me know if any problems. And yes, tuxbot is still suspended.

I am guessing the operator of the bot thought it ok because it was posting mostly(?) in channels that it created and was moderator of.

Im counting the days for a Piefed app so i can switch over and be able to forget about ml drama and weirdness in c/[email protected]

Mbin performs quite well. I just applied the most recent update which removed mercure and it’s very fast now.

I was probably the most prominent person who runs both and had database issues with k/mbin. I am happy to say that those are well behind me, largely because of the skill and patience of the Mbin team helping me resolve them.

It’s a rough job market for several reasons. My best recommendation is to do something that will distinguish yourself from others (blog, podcast, etc etc) and also try to establish a relationship with someone at prospective employers to get them to “pull” you in. I know, I know, easier said than done, but that’s where we are at.

Infosec.pub downtime for maintenance (infosec.pub)
 

Hello everyone. I will be taking infosec.pub offline for a while today to move the instance to a new, larger server.

Changes to Infosec.pub (infosec.pub)
 

I am going to be disabling image uploads and image serving, moving to moderated signups, and instituting some extensive block lists on infosec.pub due to the pervasive problems with CSAM attacks on lemmy instances.

No, it’s not happened to any of our instances yet, but I don’t need that headache. And if anyone does, I promise you that I will make it my life’s mission to see that those responsible are convicted and rotting in prison where they belong. ❤️

Edit: h/t to @infosec_jcp for pointing out the problem to me.

Please don’t enable 2FA (infosec.pub)
 

2FA in lemmy doesn’t work reliably yet. Please don’t enable it or you will almost certainly get locked out.

Note: it makes me sad to post this.

Blocking sh.itjust.works (infosec.pub)
 

Hi all. I am going to implement a block for sh.itjust.works. I am going to need years of therapy from all the nasty crap coming from that instance.

Federation and new community creaton is disabled (infosec.pub)
 

Hi all. I’ve disabled new community creation and federation until there is a fix for the latest vulnerability

Vulnerability fixed (infosec.pub)
 

As some have pointed out, there was a serious xss vulnerability in lemmy disclosed yesterday. The Lemmy team released a fix a bit ago and I've since patched infosec.pub.

Apologies for the problems (infosec.pub)
 

Lemmy and kbin have been... exciting to set up and debug.

There is a new version of lemmy in RC right now that should fix most of the issues we've been seeing, or at least give error messages that indicate what is going on.
