RE: https://beige.party/@christymarx/116219051255769214

this's a longish post but it's really worth a look given how well it demonstrates the kind of sophistication gen ai facilitates for scamming/phishing and it's likely we're all about to find out in the most intimate ways

'I began looking over the exchanges from the beginning, it seemed unlikely to me that “RB” would have done such a deep, deep dive into my work and background to include the specifics she did, not to mention reading my MoggyBlog. I mean, sure, it’s flattering, and it massages my ego, but I’m realistic'

hi, I’m showgoat! #introduction

I’ve been on the #interwebs for forever, it feels, but like much of humanity I became too-online in the 2020s. I’ve dialed back and now I’m re-learning to navigate the internet and find humanity and inspiration.

I’m a former #digitalartist learning to #sew, #embroider, and to overall bridge my digital experience into fabric and fiber goods. My taste is often ugly-beautiful and goofy. I look for lols in all things.

I really hate the assholery out there on the #interwebs. If it weren’t for #fail2ban, I’d be facing even more aggressive daily denials of service attacks. I get these periods of times where shit slows down to a crawl and I get these random attacks. I’m almost certain that they’re happening on the SSH and WireGuard ports. Yes, changing the SSH port to a non-standard port does help some and I think I am going to do that when I get home to mitigate this somewhat. But it will be only a matter of time before a port scanner discovers the new SSH port and alerts the bots to the new port. I’m sure that the bots are also trying to attack WireGuard. WireGuard is damn near impossible so the bots are simply just trying to be assholes for the sake of breaking #Mastodon.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Twitter, X, or whatever flavor of the month fuckers were behind it. WireGuard keeps no logs so I have no idea. I’d have to do a #wireshark and see what IP addresses are trying to break WireGuard. Bottom line is I think I need some more advanced routing capabilities.

I may look into adding #ZenArmor to my defensive tools. ZenArmor offers deep packet inspection. This would allow a little bit smarter blocking of the bots based on their traffic signatures. This way I whatever gets through the geoblocking, could potentially get nailed by ZenArmor. Then what gets missed by ZenArmor will get cleaned up by fail2ban. I’ll have to see how difficult ZenArmor is to configure. If it’s going to be a bitch, I’ll replace #AlmaLinux on my VPS with #OPNsense, a true router/firewall.

So I've been fiddling with #ZenBrowser for a little while and it has just come to my attention that #Firefox has already implemented a huge amount of what is in it (and like just turned on by zendevs), such as the verticle tabs and streamlined interface.

Pretty much boils Zen down to a theme engine.

`Open communication has always been a cornerstone of science. However, in the past 50 years it has been largely obstructed by high prices that prevent free flow of information and exchange of ideas, effectively blocking and preventing new groundbreaking discoveries in science and medicine.`

Aaron Straup Cope | Keynote Speech FACT Symposium

I was delighted to watch this Keynote address from my former colleague and long time pal, Aaron Straup Cope. In it he makes a number of nice references to the projects we worked on together and the things I worked on after he and Seb Chan left the team at Cooper Hewitt. It’s been 15 years since and I’m amazed at how the work is still talked about across the sector. I’m really proud of that work and reflecting these days, I’m glad we did the things we did and in the way we did them, […]

The modern internet is so terrible. "Let's load a page about one specific topic but just keep playing videos until some random point and then we'll stop"

I love being able to read an article from a country I'm not in that is about two different countries, neither of which I'm in.

The joys of self hosting. Got a call about a #mailbounce, realised that the #DominExpired because the credit card had expired. Why no alert? The mail account the alert was sent to had been decommissioned years ago #cruft
Now I get to play #mailcatchup as the rest of the #interwebs #DNS #caches refresh

A #long-shot request to the #interwebs #hivemind collected memory...

I vaguely recall a scene from a recent British police drama, I *think* it was #Annika, where the detective was called in to her boss (Superintendent??) for a very awkward conversation about an email she had supposedly sent asking her (happily married) boss out on a date. Turned out it was a prank email from her colleagues using her unlocked computer.

I thought it would make a great and humorous way to make the point with my team about locking workstations when not in use (as per company policy). And trying to find it is now bugging me!

Does anyone out there have a better memory of the scene. Which series or episode? Do I even have the show right?

Or maybe you can suggest alternate scenes/clips that emphasize the same point?

Thanks hivemind!
