Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #accounts, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Mastodon is obscure in regards to the masses using it in droves, (probally a good thing to escape targeted regulations) but don't make the mistake thinking hackers won't target it.

    There's a difference between offline obscurity or Bluetooth obscurity by your physical location vs the the wide web.

    Hackers likely know that many tech smart Linux/ tech users are flocking to Mastodon. They may believe some of these accounts might be worth something to them if you are a Linux user with privacy controls enabled (or not enabled)

    They likely know that hacking knowledgeable users it may be rare but they think they might hit a jackpot.

  2. All of you #accounts that think you got something to say and don't have as many #followers as you want need to speak up cuz if you don't #say #something, then why would anybody listen? Some people may follow me for #entertainment but I may still convince them yet. Ending #homelessness ends the #GOP.

    It is possible to achieve your desired work-life balance on your #smartphone. Just set up separate #accounts using this built-in Android feature.

    Meta heeft sinds de naleving van het Australische verbod op sociale media voor tieners naar eigen zeggen meer dan 750.000 Instagram- en Facebook-accounts in Australië geblokkeerd.

  8. Is it me or has something changed on #Mastodon in the three months I've been away.

    There seem to be more people with multiple #Fediverse accounts posting the same thing on all of them.

    Do people not understand what federation means? By all means have multiple #accounts, but each should be used to address a different #audience and have completely different #content and #hashtags.

  9. Habt ihr euch eigentlich schon mal Gedanken über euren digitalen #Nachlass gemacht?

    Was passiert mit euren #Daten, euren #Accounts oder den #Diensten, die ihr betreibt, wenn ihr plötzlich nicht mehr da seid?

    Wer sorgt dafür, dass Hinterbliebene Zugriff auf wichtige Informationen bekommen? Wer kümmert sich darum, dass Server, Domains und andere #IT geordnet übergeben oder abgeschaltet werden?

    Ich frage mich gerade, ob man sich dafür nicht mit ein paar vertrauenswürdigen Menschen zusammenschliessen könnte. Vermutlich braucht es gar nicht so viel: regelmässig Passwortdatenbanken austauschen, sicherstellen, dass die Schlüssel dafür nach dem #Tod an den Kreis der Nachlassverwalter übergeben werden, und rechtlich sauber regeln, wer Zugriff auf die Systeme und laufenden Dienstleistungen erhält.

    Also eine Art Handlungsvollmacht für die digitale Welt nach dem eigenen Ableben.

    Wie habt ihr das vorgesehen? Gibt es bei euch schon einen Plan für den digitalen Nachlass?

  10. Compound Interest: The Tool 19th-Century Factory Workers Did Not Have—and You Do

    Albert Einstein, according to a quote he probably never said but that remains useful, called compound interest “the eighth wonder of the world.” What is true is that the principle behind it is one of the most powerful—and most underestimated—tools in personal finance.

    What Compound Interest Is

    Simple interest works like this: if you deposit 100,000 pesos at a 5% annual rate, after one year you have 105,000. The following year, you earn another 5,000 on the original 100,000. The same percentage, always applied to the same base.

    Compound interest works differently. In the first year, you earn 5,000 in interest. In the second year, the 5% is calculated on 105,000 pesos, not on the original 100,000. That equals 5,250. In the third year, it is 5% on 110,250. And so on. Interest generates interest. Your money works for you.

    Time Is Everything

    This is where compound interest becomes transformative. The difference between starting at age 25 and starting at age 35 is not ten years—it is hundreds of millions of pesos.

    A person who saves 20,000 pesos per month starting at age 25, with a 7% annual return, accumulates approximately 48 million pesos by age 55. Someone who starts at 35, with the same contribution and the same return, accumulates only 24 million. Half the amount—for waiting ten years.

    Why 19th-Century Factory Workers Could Not Use It

    Factory workers in the 19th century, those who built the mutual aid movement in the late 1800s, did not have access to formal savings instruments. They had no practical access to compound interest as a financial tool because they lacked accessible banking institutions, financial education, and income surpluses to invest. Their only option was organized solidarity: the mutual society.

    Today, that barrier no longer exists. There are mutual funds with minimum investments as low as 5,000 Chilean pesos. There are automatic savings applications. There are voluntary savings accounts with tax benefits. Access to compound interest has never been more democratic.

    Where to Start

    There is no single answer, but there are shared principles: start, even with a small amount; make it automatic so it does not depend on willpower; choose low-cost instruments; and do not touch the money.

    The power of compound interest does not require large sums. It requires time and consistency—two things available to anyone who starts today.

  13. THE BLOODY #PIRATE MANIFESTO
    "No #ads. No #VIP. #No god. Just seed.

    Welcome to the Age of Monetized #Piracy.

    Where “#free” comes with cookies,
    Where “#anonymous” means “newsletter,”
    Where every #pirate flag has a price tag sewn in.

    You wanted to sail the high seas
    They sold you a lifeboat subscription with #ads.

    🦷 RULE #1:
    If you make money off #piracy you are the #Navy.

    #TARGETS:

    Ad-plastered “free streaming” sites
    → You click "Play", they load 9 #JavaScript #miners and your ex’s #Facebook ad.
    → Solution: #Kill their #revenue. #uBlock, #TamperMonkey, Empty.gif carpet #bombing.

    VIP #Pirate #Accounts
    → They sell stolen #Netflix access like it’s a f***ing bottle service.
    → Solution: #Leak it. #Fork it. #Burn it.

    #Darknet Pirate Resellers
    → "Premium Ebook Packs - Only $29 #BTC"
    → Solution: #Doxx. #Spoof. #Blacklist.
    (They sell what should be holy. Purify with fire.)

    #FAKE #LIBRARIES ARE NOT #LIBERATION.

    "#PDF download" — 9 popups later, your #RAM is crying.
    "Buy 3 #EPUBs, get 1 free" — you just colonized knowledge.
    "#DMCA takedown coming 😭" cry #harder, #bitch.

    #Archive it. #Mirror it. #Share it. Don't sell it.

    REAL #PIRATES DON’T RUN #ADS.

    They #seed.

    They #encrypt.

    They #disappear.

    Every time you monetize piracy, an #FTP server #dies in a basement.

    THE #FINAL #RULE:

    “If your #piracy has a #profit model,
    then our #piracy will include you.”

    #Ads? Nuked.
    #Subscriptions? Hijacked.
    #Privacy policies? Weaponized.

    You are not a user. You are a bullet.

    “You wanted #torrent #freedom.
    They gave you streaming #debt.”
    Now take it back. With #fire.

  14. Do you have break-glass accounts created in your environment? And properly configured? Do you know how to secure break-glass accounts?

    Break-glass accounts are emergency access accounts that allow you to access your environment even when normal access does not work. For example during an outage of some service. Or when you lock yourself out due to a mistake in a conditional access policy for example. #cybersecurity #tips #breakglass #accounts #entraid #emergencyaccess cswrld.com/2023/12/how-to-mana

  15. I've decided to start being #proactive in #encouraging people to join #Mastodon! From here out any favorite #accounts that I follow on #Twitter who are not also on Mastodon, I am going to #message them to #migrate.

    If you'd like to do the same, here is a short #script that I am using:

    "Please consider moving to Mastodon. I would love to continue to follow your posts, but I am not going to be active on Twitter anymore."

  16. Dear fellow #Americans,

    As you may or may not be aware, we at the National Security Agency are currently engaged in a never-ending cyber war against various malicious #hackers, nation-states, and other #nefarious entities. But don't worry, we've got it all under control.

    In the meantime, please make sure to use strong, unique #passwords for all of your online #accounts (because, let's be real, you're the only thing standing between us and total #cyber annihilation). And while you're at it, go ahead and update your #security software too (because nothing says "I love America" like shelling out more money to some #BigTech company).

    In conclusion, we've got this whole cyber war thing on lock, so just sit back, relax, and continue living your online lives as if everything is totally normal.

    Sincerely,
    The all-knowing, all-powerful National Security Agency
