Tens of thousands of compromised websites use DNS TXT records to conditionally redirect visitors to malicious content. For years, this exclusively redirected to VexTrio TDS - but in late-November 2024, it changed. But did it? We think not.
A couple of major takeaways from the research we released in June and what we've continued to learn since then:
* DNS is being used very successfully to drive innocent people to malware and scams, including alarming tech support scams
* These can be stopped by blocking the DNS query but it must be done at the website server side not the visitor
* VexTrio is tight not just with malware actors who hack sites and drive traffic to them, but they appear to be one and the same, or at least closely related, to infamous TDS and a multitude of other "adtech" platforms.
* reviewing old literature carefully connects VexTrio via shared software with ROI777
we're going to throw up more "snackables" before heading to Vegas. If you want to see the faces behind VexTrio and hear their origin story, come see our talk or track us down at the booth.

just a taste though. usually a bad idea to have more. i have to cut a few more joining brackets from sheet steel today and bend compound angles which is breaking my brain. plan is to do the bends as close as i can figure it out, but only tack and not weld them solid in case final assembly needs adjustment
the bends and folds in inventor are not that intuititve. this is one of the main reasons i'm thinking of switching to fusion360 cause i hear it's easier
just right now under some time constraints i don't want to deal with that learning curve. later i probably will though. my cad/cam workflow is overly complicated
Hey Fedi! I want to create a floor plan that is somewhat to scale. Is there any Linux tool I can use to make that without dedicating four weeks of my time to FreeCAD?
I've done a few rooms in Inkscape, which is a painful process but it's a tool I knew. I recently dipped my toes in FreeCAD and once you wrap your head around the workflow (especially since you wouldn't need 95% of it for a floor plan) it's really not that bad. The 2D editor called the "Sketcher" workbench is what you want. You can export sketches as PDF, DXF and SVG as well.

unbekoming.substack.com/i/1598… Sample quote: "..Today this control of public health and the medical industrial complex is exercised by David Rockefeller’s protegé and eugenics advocate, Bill Gates, self-appointed czar over the WHO and world vaccines. Dr Tony Fauci, head of NIAID, dictates vaccine mandates without evidence. The fraud behind the polio virus scandal after World War II has been refined with use of computer models and other ruses today, to advance one alleged deadly virus after the other, from Covid19 to Monkeypox to HIV. As with polio, none of those has been scientifically isolated and proven to cause the diseases claimed. None.
The same tax-free Rockefeller Foundation today, posing as a philanthropic charity, is at the heart of the global medical tyranny behind covid19 and the eugenics agenda of the World Economic Forum Great Reset.
Their poliomyelitis virus model helped them create this dystopian medical tyranny. We are told, “trust the science.”

Does anyone know what happened to #creativeCommons #france ? It looks like someone took over their domain - and I can't see many French resources on CC outside of some FAQs on the main page.
do you have any French-language interviews / essays about different Creative Commons licenses? I might be searching wrong, but I found only English texts from you - and FramaSoft is mostly talking about software, not Open Culture.

At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.”
It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all.
Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society.
I don’t want to self-host, and even worse: I think most individuals shouldn’t host services for others. Yet, I am self-hosting services and I even teach people how to do it.
I think !Selfhosted will.give you some thoughtful responses. I actually agree that if you try to do everything yourself without any input and cooperation with others then yeah you have a hige level of risk but then if you cooperate in groups, use design patterns and templates then self hosting could sort of be like #rooftopsolar - contributing to the whole - its that balance of leaning in and leaning back. Thats why I am interested in things like a combo / drop in router - home server combo that could be used by every day people and things like federated backup. But as you say it requires the organisational as well as technical models. Thats how I got interested in things like #creditunions where they can potentially avoid the problem of third interests that drive #enshitification. I think that #opensource software, legal and process designs are useful.
I like this comparison, but the missing, and most important piece is the small commercial farms that *should* be the main supplier (of food and hosting services!)
Individual solutions are fun, but not efficient for really feeding ourselves, and industrial megafactoryfarms come with a huge pile of problems. True with data, true with agriculture!
You are not in control by doing it yourself, if you don't know what you are doing. Some vegetables you just plant and receive a good harvest, but there are more than enough that are hard to grow.
Self-hosting sensitive data is more like: To be in control of the safety of you home, build your own lock. Yes, you exactly know how secure it is, but that doesn't matter if you exactly know: I know jack-shit about making locks.
so far, Ive not had any trouble with "being in control of my data", for about 10 years of it now.
What is the connection to the analogy of growing a garden? A garden is usually a finite plot on rented land with strict limits.
Data warehousing is much more flexible, the cost of warehousing a LOT of it is much cheaper today/low energy, and there would never be any way to scale a garden like you can scale personal storage. Also the philosophy of WHAT we store, and why.
yes! I support anyone building and running their own stuff (just like having a vegetable garden is a great idea), but we need to create better IT *as a society*. We can't do it all by ourselves individually and call that a solution. What we mainly need to do as individuals is speak out and educate people, to cause fundamental shifts.
We need hosting by small national companies (10.000 to 100.000 users) instead of big tech. Individual hosting is necessary to develop and test distributed systems based in open standards.
and I don't grow much of my own food, but I would rather support diverse local farmers than giant distant food conglomerates.
The analogy is not precise, but I am also happy to support small service providers who respect my data privacy instead of giant companies that are exploiting and selling everything I do as part of their business model. Unfortunately, it is even harder to do this in tech than it is with food in our modern world.
This is a bad take. It's more like having your own notebook for your diary vs sharing a big notebook with everyone in your neighborhood for recording your personal thoughts - the former is (or should be) utterly easy and the latter is obviously bonkers wrong and has no advantage of scale.
The *only* reason self hosting your data is "hard" is that software is such hideously over complicated shit. Not anything fundamental.
It's not that self hosting as a concept is a bad way, it's that we don't do it in a user friendly, easy to set up, way.
We've figure out how to make applications easy to install on a phone - that's what Android is. Making them easy to install on a "Self hosters appliance" ought to be just as easy. A "Self hosters' Android" is something achievable, but with the ISPs locking down connections, and the average person is now so dumb that they can't join Mastodon because "You have to pick a server", the problem is fighting a lot of bias that prevents anyone from having the incentive to build a OS and ecosystem like that.
@mark What you want is a provider that has no control over you via handling your data and metadata. I am going to give a talk about implementation of such thing at HOPE_16. I did rehearsal at my local LUG meeting. I am looking for feedback. Second video in kwlug.org/node/1440
in my opinion (30+ year tech workers), I think we should be generating less digital content, attempting to immortalize less digital content, and considering more seriously (climate change, late stage capitalism, etc) the whole subject.
If we also limit what we consider essential data, this makes the whole problem much easier. I dont think we live in a world where our data can be as immortal as we maybe want it to be...
@threetonesun I warehouse all important data for my family, and I've never spent more than $1000 doing so. Combined total.
If you add up the cost of everything I've done to preserve all important data over 20+ years, the total cost (of JBODs or standalone) is under $1000. Since around 2002. I just finished extracting the rest of it from Google, who had a bunch of it thanks to smartphone image sync and drive.
I've got pretty good resilience for my data. I'm not sure why I would ever want any kind of transparency for it.
The difference between a veg garden and claiming you're in control of your food and self-hosting and being in control of your data is the order of magnitudes in difference between the resources required for both.
You can be in control of your data for something like 1000 bucks a year or something like that, combining HW, some remote backups and electricity.
Then there's the time required. That's also an investment, yes, but absolutely nothing compared to what you would need to supply yourself with a healthy diet just on your own.
The comparison is absolute hyperbole, and ends up not being useful at all.
agreed. For me part of the answer is to find small companies and co-operatives to work with. A couple of examples for me are @Codeberg and our blog ( sustainablesailing.net/ ) which is now on @hey which is magicpages.co/ running Ghost.
Yeah community hosting for sure. There's no reason besides corruption that the local library couldn't host all the services that the local residences need, support local libraries.
I would argue there is difference on smaller scale. I can be control of my data and I can suffer trough setting it all up, and sharing that experience with others. Good thing about IT that there are non costly ways to scale it up. No such thing for producing food or ensuring health care, etc. So while generally I agree, it is small reprieve, I wouldn't stop people for attempting digital independence.
We WERE self-hosting, until the cost of "business" internet service (for static IPs and public-facing servers) more than doubled. Now we use a VPS for mail and web. The VPS is also more reliable, as our location has frequent outages.
We use an EU based nextcloud provider for offsite backup (because the GDPR is your friend).
The trick, for me at least, is to not do it just for yourself. Do what you like, do what you can do easily and do well, and share it with others so that the most people possible can benefit.
Question: how do these communities defend themselves from profit-seeking actors? I've seen several community resources get taken over by for-profit interests and it's a perennial challenge.
Most are tax-evading sleazebags who freely take government subsidies, tax cuts, and bailout money with lightning fast readiness whenever there's a crisis.
Hugely profitable oil refineries still taking tax breaks 50 years after the 1973 OPEC Oil Embargo; that's just one example.
As MLK Jr wrote "This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor."
I self host too and I also host other people. However, I don't do as much of it as I used to. Hosting other people is a huge headache so I let that business fade out.
I never made a serious effort to grow my #hosting service. It ran it as a social enterprise.
I didn't just offer good hosting to them, I also offered them support and advice they could trust. That kind of service is something that I should have valued more and priced in a way that was more fair to me.
Offering artisanal hosting run by an expert who knows you, your site, and your goals is something I wish I had more time to do. I'd love to see other people build a business from this model. My advice is to be sure to price it fairly to yourself and clearly explain the value you are providing.
