FYI, the Fedi spam problem is only starting out. It won't take much effort for someone to write a payload running on random compromised webservers to send copious amounts of spam via activitypub, making blocklists ineffective.

We will basically need to implement all the same anti-abuse stuff we're already doing for email in order to cope with it on the fediverse -- greylisting, dnsbl, domain authentication, etc.

Sadly, the only way this won't happen is if ActivityPub stays sufficiently niche to make other targets more popular for spammers.

In the face of hundreds of thousands murdered in Ukraine, and millions more displaced fleeing Russian military aggression, it is hard to focus on the death of one man. And yet, Navalny meant a lot to the Russian opposition and his death is just another proof that Putin's regime is criminal to the core and cannot be dealt with by appeasement or backroom deals. Ukrainians are the only force actively fighting the Kremlin mafia regime and we should continue to give them all they need to achieve a swift and decisive victory.

b4-0.13.0 is now available!

This is a quality-of-life release that improves on many features but doesn't add any new major functionality (yet).

So what does the world do to stop russia from killing civilians and destroying cities and villages by bombing and shelling?
What does the world do to stop the genocide, forced re-education of children, deportation, torture in detention, starvation of people?
Why is this the new norm?

Linux is now a CNA: http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2024/02/13/linux-is-a-cna/

This has taken a long time, I'd like to thank all the groups that helped, and especially the CVE group themselves. Our application was a bit different than other groups, but they understood that this is important for security overall.

General (Ret.) Wesley K. Clark, Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander on Donald Trump’s remarks

“On 9/11, when America was under attack, NATO nations all mobilized to come to our defense and fought alongside us to crush al Qaeda. They didn’t ask us for money. They didn’t put strings on it. That is the kind of iron-clad commitment that has kept Western democracies — including our own — alive for 75 years.

“For Donald to publicly signal to Vladimir that he can take as much of Europe as he wants, and we will sit by and cheer him on, isn’t just breaking the promise the United States has made, and it isn’t just threatening Europe. It is encouraging World War III, which will hit our shores and cost American lives.

“It is the kind of statement that can only come from a deranged and twisted mind. I do not say this lightly: The lives of every American, both in uniform and civilian, are at severe risk if Donald Trump wins this election.”

The leader of the GOP encouraging Russia to attack our NATO allies seems like the comment from a presidential candidate that everyone should be talking about this weekend.

1923: Hitler’s failed coup.

No real consequences.
No fundamental changes.

1933: Hitler takes power.

I wish I could implant this into everyone’s brain.

Watch Putin's interview if you want more proof that the world would be *so* much better off if macho old men would just go to therapy.

A US businessman with 171 million social media followers is trying to convince the American public, that the law which contains the aid to Ukraine will allow foreigners to vote in US elections.

X is the misinformation medium.

Why is python's email module *so bad* at creating valid headers?

90% of the bugs reported against the module are for some kind of header parsing or writing problem.
