Which'd make sense if they were trying to dynamically blur every scarlet-lettered user's profile image, but everyone with The Mark had this exact image. It doesn't change.
So I looked into the source and found where they're doing the canvas stuff, and yep, they're blurring the profile image. So why is the result always the same?
It's almost impressive!
a funny side-wrinkle of this is that tumblr has banned posting links to or images of their default site image.
Like, this url? https://assets.tumblr.com/images/default_avatar/cone_open_64.png
if you try to paste that on tumblr, it'll try to expand it into a preview, then fail. If you go to that image and copy it, then try to paste that on tumblr, it'll fail.
download the PNG and try to upload it again, it'll fail.
they've banned the hash of their own default avatar image.
I don't know why they would do this.
Please tell me that the justification of "scarlet letter" on Tumbler isn't to make transpeople more easily identifiable.
Because that sounds a lot like "the star of David should be easily seen from distance on any Jew".

I hadn't heard of any Streams repository (fka Zap, fka Osada, etc) people for about two months and thought it had just gotten quiet. Instead the forum and the people post quite regularly, but communication with them from my Friendica has broken down. When trying to reconnect I got all the errors about not being able to recognise the protocol (when it fails to load the actor definition). Not even individual posts load correctly when providing the url.
So I thought this could be a use for my Pleroma. But it also mainly fails to connect... :-( I can only load individual posts.

Owners of public Mastodon servers, you might want to set your signups to approval mode to prevent spammers:
1. Log in on your server's website
2. Go to Preferences
3. Go to Administration
4. Go to Server Settings
5. Click the Registrations tab at the top
6. In the "Who can sign up" menu select "Approval required for sign-up" (optionally also tick the box for requiring a reason)
7. Click "Save Changes" button
Spammers can exploit servers with instant signups.

If you tick the box asking for a reason with signups, that helps weed out automated accounts and troublemakers, especially on themed servers aimed at particular audiences.
There have also been cases where automated signups choose usernames that make it obvious they are part of a spam attack.
Ok so hear me out.
We make a bot to register accounts
We tell the accounts to send a daily message to the servers admin these instructions.
Profit.

I love how you can see on Yusra Mardini's face how much she feels at home at a swimming pool. She stopped competitive swimming a while back, but she's here now in an ambassador role.

I'm starting to think no remote content should be stored at all, just maybe cached, but I understand how, currently, received text of posts can be stored similar to an email inbox.
But do I understand(*) correctly that Mastodon stores remote media as well, in their own media storage, even when from unsolicited sources? That can't be right.
(*) It is cited as a side effect of the spam wave that some are running out of media storage.

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!
#StephanieLeonidas #CrusadeInJeans #BirthdayRewatch
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?

There's a misconception in #photography that get's repeated a lot in everything from tutorials to gear reviews, even by experienced photographers:
"sensor size affects aperture" (meaning that the size of the sensor or film changes what for e.g. f/8 will look like in terms of depth of field")
This is not really true.
Think about it: If you change the sensor size and nothing else, it's the same as cropping the image later. That can't change how the optics behaved when the shot was taken.
There is an indirect connection though:
If you want to frame a subject the same way using a smaller or larger sensor, you need to use lenses of different focal lengths. This is why we talk about "equivalent focal length". A 35mm lens on an APS-C sensor is roughly equivalent to a 50mm on a 35mm sensor in its field of view angle.
And aperture size is dependent on focal length, that's why it's written like "f/8" (focal length divided by 8). And larger apertures will produce shallower depth of field.

@StarkRG I get why people put so much attention to sensor size, it's what you commit to when buying a camera and a major tool of market segmentation for the manufacturers.
And in a ver pragmatic sense, yeah, it does matter a lot for certain types of photography. It's just that explanation that's usually wrong
