Bluesky question for admin folks... @mackuba?
You may be aware of @pluralistic's essay on the new #Bluesky ToS requiring binding arbitration: pluralistic.net/2025/08/15/dog…
At the end he says he's setting up his own "Bluesky server" so he doesn't need to agree to the new ToS.
BUT, assuming this means running his own PDS, it seems according to this guide: rafaeleyng.github.io/self-host… step 'Create a Bluesky account', you still need to agree to the Bluesky ToS to run Bluesky even on your own PDS.
Right?

"Last Friday, 47 Israelis got stranded in Bosnia after a hotel in Sarejevo 'accidentally' threw all their passports into the trash
The trash was then taken to a landfill dozens of miles outside of the city. Bosnian authorities have been unable to retrieve them.

@Dianora@ottawa.place I seem to recall there is a legal difference between "Product of Canada" and "Made in Canada". **Product of Canada** simply means the product has been packaged for sale *in* *Canada*. **Made in Canada** means that the product contains at least 51% Canadian originated "stuff". (Might be wrong on the percentage though). And doesn't the Canagian Government have special emblems/ flags to put on product labels for 100% sourced and produced Canadian goods? ---

Back from #defcon with one very important lesson: /tmp is where dreams go to die. 💀📂
This year I unleashed my “PursePot” — a Raspberry Pi honeypot + Evil Twin rig tucked neatly into my purse. Nobody looked twice at the bag, but inside it was quietly broadcasting Xfinity, attwifi, and Target Guest WiFi while nudging devices off the defcon open net to come say hello.
In just 7 hours, PursePot collected a malware menagerie:
- 78 P2PInfect worms (overachievers)
- 68 Mirai variants (still kicking IoT around)
- 37 XMRig cryptominers (Monero forever, I guess?)
- Cameos by Outlaw, Gafgyt, Prometei, and Xorddos
Takeaways?
Opportunistic malware doesn’t care if you’re at the world’s biggest hacker con — it just wants a new home.
PursePot v2 is already in the works. More stealth, more logging, and maybe fewer tragic life choices with /tmp. 😅

Them: "Why don't you just install their app?"
Me: "Because everyone wants me to install their app. I know places that use the same backend service and everyone of them has a branded version of the same app. And each want me to install their version of the app. I'd rather use their website."
I have a place I visit that has one entrance app. For the activities inside they use a different centralised app. And, of course, if I want to chat with them I need to install one of the messaging apps they support.

About five minutes later, the arresting officer approached him again. “He said: ‘I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news.’ I said: ‘What’s the good news?’ He said: ‘I’m de-arresting you.’
“And I said: ‘What’s the bad news?’ He said: ‘It’s going to be really embarrassing for me.’ And then I walked free, while all the real heroes are the people that are actually getting arrested.”
