From my perspective the spam wave seems to have subsided, or maybe this post brings it in again... What I did:
On Pleroma put the discord invite url and the hashtag in MRF as blocks. On Friendica I don't have MRF, so I unsubscribed from guppe groups. That seems enough, I haven't had to block any domains yet, may do so later if needed.
The hashtag should probably not be blocked forever, as it is the Japanese name of a legitimate business which may be the target not the source of the impersonation/defamation attack, as is the discord. But since I have no Japanese contacts, that's ok for now.
I always have private messages blocked from people I don't follow, and I recently started hiding followers/followed accounts, which I think also helps a bit to limit such waves.
Hardly a 'crafted payload', more like a completely normal payload, just at another address...
Alice: hi, I'm Bob
Mastodon: hi Bob, you look different
Alice: never mind, I'm Bob, and I have changed my security keys. Please use these new ones when you validate a message from Bob, I mean me
Mastodon: will do
Alice: and by the way, if your user Carol sends a private message to Bob, send it to me instead, since I am Bob, as i said
Mastodon: fine, nothing suspicious there
(My simplistic summary of the recent disclosure. What is not stressed in the released details is that it doesn't change the profile of the impersonated user, Bob in the above, as its profile at the source is unaffected.)
It's that day again, the birthday of Stephanie Leonidas!
I choose Crusade in Jeans from my 'Watch for Stephanie' letterboxd list for the birthday rewatch. A long time ago I only knew her sister Georgina Leonidas and knew she was a very talented actress. I saw that her older sister Stephanie was also an actress and thought that even if she only had a fraction of the talent of her younger sister, she would still be worth watching. So I took a punt buying this dvd. That was a very lucky punt... Stephanie turned out to be one of the best actresses ever and I since try to watch everything with her in it!

A boy plays and loses a football match with the national team, then drops in on his mother who's building a time machine. He goes back in time trying to win, but ends up in the middle ages and meets love interest girl (winning after all) Jenne in a children's crusade.
The story acknowledges that the crusades as we know them were wrong. This children's crusade is strictly nonviolent.

Today is the birthday (+44 years) of Christina Ricci. I'll be rewatching a film from my 'Watch for Christina' list to celebrate. The top ones I all saw recently and since I quite like to rewatch Sleepy Hollow, that one it is. I think it may also be the first film I saw her in.

I would be remiss if I did not post at least one #SuperbOwl today, and this is the most recent superb owl photo I have.
Taken in El Atteuf, Algeria. I suspect it may be a Pharaoh (or Egyptian) eagle owl, possibly a young one.

Happy Birthday Chloë Grace Moretz!
It's her 27th birthday and I'll be celebrating rewatching a recent film of hers, Shadow in the Cloud, from my 4k blu-ray. It's such a powerful performance!

It's all Chloë Grace Moretz... This is such a thrill throughout to get such a masterclass acting performance...
Love the ending and what it says. (But telling would be spoilers)
Some people will have you believe that Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit is the most 90s song of all time, but they're wrong
The most 90s song is Mazzy Star's Fade Into You

Apparently you can't cancel or change a preorder at Amazon even more than a month before release, despite what they suggest. Chat bot/human just says it already started shipping. I don't believe that, with an estimated arrival listed in April... Is it coming by snail?
Guess I'll have the blu-ray and the dvd then.

Jenna Ortega is going to be in a new film called Klara and the Sun.
Her film Beetlejuice 2 will be in the cinema 6 September 2024.
Both bits of news just shared by Jenna's mother.

Stephanie Leonidas is filming a new film called Marching Powder. She just posted photos from the set.
IMDb says her film A Very Venice Romance was released last year (it doesn't list as available for me) and 5lbs of Pressure is still to come.

Copied my followed tags into a "Followed tags" channel and copied my followed searches into a "Followed searches" channel. This works quite well. I think this is going to be useful. Channels maybe a quite powerful new Friendica feature.
It's starting to feel like tumblr again, except tumblr would occasionally just delete all tags alphabetically after 'k'.
@Tuta
I notice a difference in my mails shown to me in the Linux desktop app and the Android app. The former shows only one mail, the latter shows all mails that checking via a browser shows. I've checked that the filter is set to 'all emails' for all.
It seems related to the 'local data' setting which for both apps is on the default of one month and all missing mails are older than one month. So I've changed this to 366 days for both clients.
However, the old mails still do not show up in the desktop app. Is there another filter I'm missing?
How can I use the desktop client to see all mails I can see via the browser?
No you misheard me, I don't use Discord I use this cord.

This, about RAM, is a much misunderstood bit about monitoring resource usage.
Also: cpu usage. When someone comes to me with 'panic, panic, your application is using 100% cpu', I'm like 'great, call me when it doesn't', for then there's a bottleneck elsewhere.
I'm not saying there's no such thing as software bloat (there is) but the reason that your computer magically always seems to use 80-90% of the ram no matter how much ram you install is that the computer understands empty ram doesn't do anything but ram being used to cache files makes your user experience much fasterthis is a good thing! if your computer stopped doing this everything would suddenly feel very sluggish and stuttery!

That's the title of this Roswell episode.
The episode has a theme of temptation and giving in to desire and this opening scene with Shiri Appleby captures it so well in the non-obvious way.
That box is tempting...
But why resist?

!Friendica Support
Recently I started following a prolific account that advises Mastodon followers to put them on a list and then exclude the list from the normal timeline. I wanted to do something similar in Friendica using circles, channels and channel frequency settings.
I added them in a new circle. That works fine.
My normal timeline is 'Latest posts', but I can't create a channel based on that. There is however 'Network' which I think is similar, so I used that. It seems to use 'Latest creation' sorting instead, but that's ok for now.
I set the account's channel frequency to never show in a channel (last option). They still show in their circle, so that's great.
I found I have to go to 'Settings' -> 'Display' -> 'Timelines' to actually enable the new channel for it to show up. Now I can see the new channel, great!
But, the prolific account still shows in the channel, so my experiment failed. Could this be because they always use reshare (boost) to fill their feed and maybe reshares aren't taken into account when applying the channel frequency?
How else can I achieve this?
@Michael Vogel
Ok, thanks for the reply. So it also wouldn't work for Friendica groups, I guess.
I've thought of another work-around: creating a new account on my server and follow them from there. Then switch accounts to see that timeline. My normal saved hashtag searches should surface anything I want to see under my normal account.

For many years, DSL/Cable routers by German company AVM, sold under the Fritz!Box brand, did some internal dns tweaking so that when you typed in fritz.box it would lead you to the config page of the router in your network. Now, years later, there actually is a .box TLD (Top Level Domain) and AVM forgot to register the fritz.box domain. Someone else did. And activated Certificate Pinning (HSTS). #Oops
UPDATE 2024-01-27: Their dns entries are flaky ATM, sometimes there, mostly not.

Well sure, they could not have known back in the day that .box will be a tld some day. But they could have changed the setup when it became available and they could not register it themselves
uhm sorry, no. The idea to use some tld that does not exist was a bad idea to begin with and exactly the reason why .home.arpa was introduced back in the days. this mess is a result of hanging on to a fancy idea that was probably never changed for marketing reasons or some other stupid internal company politics.
They even made it extra hard to change this! Failing to grab the official domain just adds to this. Many did see this coming for years. I did.
Same for .local for different reasons
@bekopharm @cy agreed that it was a bad idea to begin with, but AVM's use of fritz·box predates RFC 8375 (even most if not all "new" TLDs), and ICANN frowns upon the use of "private" (i.e., unregistered) domains for good reasons. (They don't have any say in what the IETF does with .arpa, though.)
What I request from AVM is to make the domain their DHCP provides configurable while keeping the DHCP and DNS of the Fritzbox.
@woelfisch even without that RFC was it only a question of time. Really anyone working in this has seen this coming.
AVM may be huge in Germany but international? cmon. Am Deutschen Wesen mal wieder, oder was?
Yeah, the ability to change this is long overdue. It's possible afair by downloading the config, set it there, recalculate the totally secret checksum and re-upload the config.
Or at least it was. I didn't keep taps. Using my own service for DNS ignoring this for years.
@bekopharm oh, it isn't (wasn't? I haven't dealt with any other home routers for quite some years...) only AVM doing that.
IIRC the whole thing started when .local was hijacked for mDNS in 2000, which was used by numerous home router vendors previously. AVM (foolishly) decided to use .box instead, though they should've registered a dedicated second-level domain under an existing TLD.
But hey, I bet marketing just loved "fritz·box"...

I have the boxset of The Shannara Chronicles, another one of these series they keep disappearing from the streaming services. It features two absolutely great actresses: Ivana Baquero and (from season two) Melise. Both are utterly cool here, which is sort of what this show is about.
Ivana was the little girl in Pan's Labyrinth and also as an adult she impresses a lot. Melise is an actress and singer who previously played 'rock chick' Lucy Stone in Big Time Rush. I was playing one of her songs just today.
Starting my rewatch of the show now.
#IvanaBaquero #Melise #TheShannaraChronicles
It is set in a time after our time, when nature has mostly recovered from us and everything is overgrown with lush forests. The story starts in the Kingdom of the Elves and with a premonition showing the end of times and the destruction of all life.
It takes a while to establish the main characters, in fact you're introduced first to some Elf characters that will not be that important in the long run.
