  1. Subject line of a recent email:

    ***SPAM*** Re: What are you doing this week? [ask] [programming]

    No, #RiseUp, it's not spam. It's an email from #lobsters (lobste.rs). I mainly keep up with it via email.

    Also, please do not mangle the Subject header of emails :( Apparently, this is a #SpamAssassin thing. And apparently, the DKIM signature is still valid according to #Thunderbird and the add-on I'm using (DKIM Verifier) to verify DKIM signatures.

    There is also a "x-spam-prev-subject" header (added by SpamAssassin, presumably), but... I somehow doubt that DKIM Verifier is *actually* falling back to that to validate that the original subject line is associated with the DKIM signature.

    Aaaaaaand just tested. Nope. #DKIM Verifier is *not* relying on that header. It is instead telling the user, INCORRECTLY, that the signature is good :( Even after clicking the "Reverify DKIM Signature" button :(

    (Yes. Subject is one of the headers in the DKIM-Signature header).

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    None of this fancy cryptography matters if you mess up like this :(

  2. @dimenzio @zzt Lobste.rs got better when I blocked the vibecoding tag. I've made up my mind. I don't need to read 100 more flamewars^W discussions between boosters and doomers^W people with sense(s). #lobsters

  3. Hello Fediverse, does anyone of you have a Lobsters invite code and would like to share it? I keep reading articles and discussions there and it really looks like a community I'd like to participate in. But I know no one there to invite me apparently.

  4. Wrote a bit about Reddit's best feature and how I'm doing my part to bring support for it to other sites (like #Tildes and #lobsters).

    I've been using it while testing and it's been great!

  6. Do I know someone who can give me a lobste.rs invite?
    I’d love to have one. I’d be grateful

    Please boost, if you would?

  7. Current status: Happy blob :blobcatcoffee:. I have just checked, and both of my blogs (@rechtsdersaale and @tyrandusblog) are now listed on @bubbles! I The whole thing is similar to #hackernews and #lobsters, but wants to address less technical topics as well. It has a wonderful daily/weekly briefing (that looks just like a newspaper for RSS feeds) and runs on #ActivityPub + #RSS. The German page is currently quite empty, so go suggest your blogs!

  9. Still surprised by HN staunch distaste for AI slop, while Lobsters keeps inventing new victim cards to let these grifters operate.
