My opinion on #matrix is slowly turning around. For years I promoted it as the best #FOSS chat protocol that will eventually become the "glue that connects all communication platforms together".

But the frustration with various issues within Matrix ecosystem keeps growing:

- Still can't log into matrix.org account with #Nheko on #Linux. Getting Cloudflare timeout (Error 524). Is my IP cursed?

- Apparently I also timeout when trying to view rooms in some space in Element desktop.

Linksys Velop routers send Wi-Fi passwords in plaintext to US servers

Link

📌 Summary:

Testaankoop, the Belgian equivalent of the Consumers' Association, discovered that two Linksys routers, the Velop Pro 6E and Velop Pro 7 mesh routers, are sending Wi-Fi login details in plaintext to Amazon (AWS) servers in the US. This security breach allows attackers to intercept the communication between the routers and the Amazon server, potentially capturing the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password as they are transmitted in plaintext. Despite being warned in November, Linksys has not taken effective measures to address this issue. The recommended solution is to change the Wi-Fi network name and password via the web interface instead of the app. Mesh routers like the Velop series are designed to improve Wi-Fi distribution in large or multi-story homes but can be vulnerable to this type of security breach. Testaankoop suspects the issue may be related to third-party software used in the Linksys firmware, but it does not excuse the vulnerability. The researchers strongly advise against buying these routers due to the serious risk of network intrusion and data loss. Snowflake is now mandating Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all user accounts to mitigate security risks.

Testando o #ZorinOS17 e gostando do que estou vendo, ainda vou testar o #PopOS , mas já no primeiro teste, acho que o @ubuntu será trocado. Testando estes dois pelas dicas do #diolinux #Linux #Ubuntu #ZorinOS #PopOS

Holaa, hace rato vengo probando esta red social y la verdad que me sorprende la cantidad de gente en esta comunidad, y el esfuerzo que ponen en cada servidor para mantener esto a flote (Decidí que esta va a ser mi cuenta personal).

Soy argentin@, me encanta el café de especialidad, hace 4 años que vengo testeando GNU/Linux (Pasé por Manjaro, Fedora, Gentoo y CachyOS) y recién hace 2/3 meses que dejé de usar Windows definitivamente.

Me fasciné con las cryptos durante la pandemia más que nada por la tecnología Blockchain y la descentralización (El clásico triángulo de Seguridad-Descentralización-Escalabilidad). Lo que más me gusta de esto son proyectos como Agrotoken por ejemplo, para que tengan una idea.

Otra cosa en la que invierto mi tiempo es en política, si bien no milito en ningún partido (No va con mi filosofía) trato de aportar a la comunidad en el día a día organizando ollas populares, participando de asambleas barriales, organizando donaciones, etc.

Promuevo activamente el BOICOT a empresas Yanquis/Estadounidense, más ahora con la invasión a Venezuela (Maduro se puede ir a la mierda, pero el pueblo venezolano no tiene xq ser colonizado). Cualquiera que se quiera unir, aunque sea dejando de usar 1 app, es más que bienvenido (Comenten si lo hacen 😁).

En lo único que coincido con Milei, es que no hay mejor abrigo que las capas de cebolla.

Aguante la acción directa, el muto acuerdo y la autogestión. Gracias uruguayos por aceptarme, puede que me ponga un poco pesado discutiendo, pero solo para confrontar con tantos zurd@s que hay por aquí 😅.

Que tengan una buena semana, y ojalá sigamos creciendo!
Les mando un abrazo, saludos!
