  • 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐤·​𝐩𝐮𝐩·​𝐩𝐞𝐭⁣/ˈ𝘴ɑː𝘬 ˌ𝘱ʌ𝘱.ɪ.𝘵𝘳𝘪/

    (n.) An online identity created, and used, for purposes of deception. A sockpuppet purports to be an independent party that supports, approves of, or agrees with some agent (a person, organization, agency, or state), but is in fact created and controlled by that agent, and has no independent existence. Common uses of sockpuppets include plausibly deniable hacking or information operations, provocation, and astroturfing (creation of the illusion of grassroots support).

  • I will, but I'm 85% sure they already know -- but they made a business decision to make one OAuth flow for all "platforms" for a consistent & simpler UX (at the expense of extra security risk, which they've accepted).

    Edit: wait, did you mean email stripe or email the pentest company that authored the article of common oauth vulns?

  • Yeah, it's dangerous for a community to tolerate and adopt closed-source software. We should have done a better job pressuring them to license it openly.

    The OSM wiki pointed me to Maperitive first, but I wish it pointed me to qgis first. We should probably edit the wiki with a huge warning banner that the code is closed, the app is full of bugs, and that it is not (and can not be) updated.

    Edit: I took my own advice and added a big red box to the top of the article warning the user and pointing them to QGIS instead.

    Edit 2: Do we have any way to know when the latest version of Maperitive (v2.4.3) was released? Usually I'd check the git repo, but..

    Edit 3: stat on the Maperitive-latest.zip file says that it's last modified 2018-02-27 17:25:07, so it's at least 6 years old.

  • The Wordpress Activity Pub plugin is on my TODO list. I opened some bug reports with them recently.

  • what happens if I die? what happens if my site goes down? what happens if a site is "protected" by cloudflare (and therefore makes the content inaccessible to at-risk folks)? what happens if a site has an authwall (and therefore is inaccessible to less-privileged folks)?

    I think it's important for us to federate content, not just links.

  • it's a lot of work, but basically I copy the html from wordpress into pandoc, convert it to markdown, and then do a lot of cleanup

    I didn't copy the whole post here because it's so much work, but I usually do when there's less images and my articles aren't likely to exceed the max char limit :)

  • We're not looking to be tied to a grid outside the community. Do you have any links to recommended resources to learn more about microgrids and/or community grids?

    If it were me and I understand correctly I would probably not tie the systems together.

    Well, the loads of the buildings are different, so tieing them together would be very beneficial. For example, one building is a workshop with lots of power tools and heavy machinery and some other buildings (with equal sq meter rooftops) are residential (with less energy requirements)

  • Hi, Michael Altfield here. I was the sysadmin for OSE from 2017-2020.

    Everything OSE does is transparent, so you can just check the OSE websites to see what everyone is currently working-on. OSE contributors log their hours in a worklog called "OSE Dev". There you can quickly see who is working on what.

    The above graphs show 4 contributors in the past ~10 weeks (one is me; we had some issues with the apache config recently). There's no direct link, but you can then check the wiki to see people's work logs (just search for the person's name and Log):

    I also like to look at the MediaWiki "Recent Changes" page to peak at what people are up-to as well:

    I told Marcin about Lemmy back in June 2023. Another OSE contributor even created an OSE community on the slrpnk.net instance, but it appears to have been abandoned. I'll email him about this thread to see if he'll bite and publish updates in this community since there's clearly interest :)

    Also, shameless plug: I started an org that's very similar in spirit to OSE called Eco-Libre, with a focus on projects to sustainably enfranchise human rights in smaller communities. We're currently accepting volunteers ;)

  • Can you mention this in your article?
