the issue that it badly attempts to exploit was actually patched 3 months ago, so uh...

basically it needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so it's not really a privilege escalation as such, the privilege was already escalated.

Question for #mastodon / #gotosocial folks... Has anyone come across any good, advanced tools for user management?

I want something that not only tells me if they are a mutual, but also how posts the account has made over say the last 6 months, how many boosts, how many comments / replies... Also, some indication if the account is automated...

And something that lets me unfollow in bulk.

I have written a sample letter that you can use to invite organizations to join the #Fediverse.

The letter is shared under a #CC0 license. Feel free to copy, adapt and send it to organizations that still rely on #BigTech.

Thanks to @danie1 for the English translation.

@adele suggested that #gotosocial was a good replacement for the classic blog, as:

1. gotosocial allows #markdown formatting in posts.

2. the maximum post length can be adjusted above the default 5000 using statuses-max-chars in gotosocial's config.yaml

What this actually means for the #fediverse I'm not sure, as it could break things. If anyone has any deeper info on this I'd love to know.

Quite honestly, it is very impressive that @letsencrypt has a little down time as it does. The certificate world is full of landmines that themselves have small poison darts that fire randomly. To issue a metric ton of certificates with this little outage is an accomplishment.

So have an outage. As a treat.

Excited to try a new Xiegu G106 firmware update that claims to improve the AGC. Right after transmitting it sometimes passes through a burst of loud signal… fingers crossed that's what got fixed.

The instructions provided from the manufacturer are for Windows. On #Linux you can use "screen" to trigger the firmware erase and "sx" (found in the "lrzsz" package) to transfer the file.

'Let's Encrypt has resumed issuance.

Due to an issue with the cross-signed certificate from our Generation X root to our new Generation Y root, all issuance has been switched back to our Generation X root certificate. This affects our "tlsserver" and "shortlived" ACME certificate profiles.'
