#abuseprevention — Public Fediverse posts

@sodiboo @ifin @threatintel

Also, notable mention. unexpected thread: https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check/issues/5

Are there any plans on some bit more central validation, maybe even with some AI/LLM/... with regular conversion of insights to fixed/deterministic rules as discussed throughout the thread? Something something semgrep/opengrep, yara, flathub manifest style etc pp?
Update: Looping in @archlinux here.
Also, any plans on enforcing this -> https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot for all the AUR build business?

Also: How does this incident not yet have a creative name? I'm not asking for a #bumsrakete but there's gotta be something 🤣

Edit: https://jguer.space/blog/2026-06-15-yay-v13 delivered. It's the #AURpocalypse 😱 🤣

First grade teacher's fierce 'private parts' song is shifting the way we talk about abuse

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.upworthy.com/teacher-sings-song-about-consent

I just rediscovered two old posts/threads of mine, that explain pretty well, why I want to go into pedagogy now (I didn't know it back then - too busy working on my depression and hating school):

Content warning: Childhood trauma

I want to protect children.
I want to provide them a save environment to thrive and talk about their troubles.
In a perfect school system kids would learn mental hygiene and get therapy before they learn integrals and the uncritical history of wars and power abuse. That would prevent so much domestic abuse, because it would be caught early.
And teaching kids emotional and social competence before teaching them applied capitalism will prevent abuse, division, exploitation and hate in the future.

I want to teach children to be happier than me, less abusive than my stepdad, more empathetic than my mom and more protective of future generations than my teachers were.

That's why I'm studying animal assisted pedagogy and will start studying social pedagogy, trauma pedagogy and environmental pedagogy this fall.

Good news (at first glance): Silent Connection Ltd and Dolphin 1337 Limited, two UK-based corporations flagged by Spamhaus as being used for bulletproof hosting, were compulsory dissolved on January 28th and January 14th, respectively. 🙌

Unfortunately, their networks (AS215240 and AS215208) remain active...

Silent Connection quickly secured fresh IP blocks on January 26th through ZeXoTeK IT-Services (whose website, zexotek.de, oddly redirects to Google 🤔). Similarly, Dolphin 1337 Limited acquired new IP space on February 4th.

Even after both companies' were dissolved, these IPs are still operational - effectively making them digital no man’s land.

This incident highlights why robust customer vetting is a necessity. Silent Connection's imminent dissolution was already visible on the UK company register as of November 5th - a clear red flag. 🚩

Spamhaus recommends always vetting new customers, and checking their commercial registry data before providing services. 🕵
