@aidalgol @moritzheiber They've just announced they'll take more money https://www.meetup.com/lp/paymentchanges

This is a true coincidence, because today is also the 1st beta release of #Mobilizon https://framablog.org/2019/10/15/mobilizon-lifting-the-veil-on-the-beta-release/

So let's thank MeetUp for giving us even more reasons to free our events from their walled garden !

Few months ago, we started an instance with @Steve12L dedicated to the protection of animals.
We first opened it to French speakers, but that's maybe time to open it more globally.

Poll. What kind of #DNS servers/resolution do you use?

I can only provide 4 answers, so if you use other methods please reply to the toot. Also if you want to explain why.

Boosts appreciated!

Looking back, I think one of the most useful things I ever did in an internship was move Coinbase off of ImageMagick and onto a cloud image processing/hosting service. That hardening step has insulated them from so many horrific bugs at this point.

"At first I thought DoH was (US) Department of Homeland Security, then I thought it could be an exclamation of Homer Simpson (doh); finally read the article and it seems to be a mixture of the two"

Yesterday, the government sued the publisher of #PermanentRecord for—not kidding—printing it without giving the CIA and NSA a change to erase details of their classified crimes from the manuscript. Today, it is the best-selling book in the world: https://static.macmillan.com/static/holt/permanent-record-edward-snowden/uslinks.html

My one frustration with #ActivityPub federated stuff right now is that they integrate, but only partially. I have this account, but I can't use this account to access #PixelFed. I have to create an account on pixelfed.social, and then I can follow myself from my Mastodon account? People who follow me here on Fosstodon don't follow the PixelFed account. I COULD boost my PixelFed account from Mastodon, but things just get awkward. Then we add #PeerTube into the mix, or other federated stuff.

Is there a CVE to NSA codename generator yet?

CVE-2018-12130 is utterly meaningless to humans, but

CVE-2018-BLUE-HADES would be way better.
