I'm noticing a pattern starting to develop in the community I mod (just barely -- it's only happened 3 times so far) where a user that posts a fairly large amount of relevant content occasionally posts weird spam with a title of alternating letter nonsense (e.g. "zazaz" or "sdsdsds") and a link that goes to some random domain that serves nothing but a default 404 error (as in the domain is registered and there's a server responding to requests, but there's no content for it to serve).
I suppose it could just be bad behavior on the part of said users, but it feels more like a bug or their account getting hijacked or something. Anybody have any insight?
Two of the three I noticed were from different users (but the other two cases were the same username on different instances, so it's very plausible that they may all be alt accounts of the same human).
You misspelled the instance name, but that's a good thing since pinging the user in question with a mention probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway.
The thing that confuses me is that the user has posted a bunch of other content (both posts and comments) such that the ratio of spam to ham is pretty low, and the writing of the comments seems very human (in terms of the inferences it makes and the idioms it uses), so if it's some kind of repost-bot, it's a very sophisticated one.
It really seems like a legitimate user whose account is getting hijacked to occasionally post gibberish spam, which is why I find it so weird.

Merkwürdige. Gerade erst gab es die Nachricht, dass hier in der Nähe von Eberswalde in Britz ein Rechenzentrum entstehen soll, aber wohl aus einer anderen Ecke: moz.de/lokales/eberswalde/rech…
Der Unternehmer scheint aber aus der Region zu kommen und will leer stehende Flächen offenbar umnutzen. Das klang nach einer vielleicht sogar positiven Entwicklung.
Im Gewerbegebiet von Britz, auch Standort der Eberswalder Wurst, will ein Investor vier Rechenzentren bauen lassen. Nun hatte die Gemeindevertretung den Plan auf dem Tisch.
also, mal abgesehen davon, dass @teslatakedown.co.uk Nicht DER große Wasserverbraucher in Brandenburg ist, würde es mich auch interessieren, wo #Google seine cloudserver aufstellt❓🧐
Fast acht Milliarden Euro will die Amazon-Tochter AWS in Brandenburg in Rechenzentren investieren. Es ist nach Google die zweite Mega-Investition. Und viele weitere Anbieter wollen ebenfalls hierher. Das hat Folgen für den Energiebedarf.
»Dobrindt habe zwar recht, wenn er sage, dass die Polizisten eine klare Weisung hätten.
Aber: "Wenn klar wäre und klar ist, dass diese Weisung letztendlich rechtswidrig ist, dann müssen Polizeibeamte sogenannte Remonstrationspflichten (...) wahrnehmen."
Sie müssten es ausdrücklich kritisieren, um aus der Verantwortung herauszukommen.
Trotz einer anderslautenden Gerichtsentscheidung hält die Union an der Praxis fest, Asylsuchende an der Grenze zurückzuweisen. Bundesinnenminister Dobrindt findet es "abwegig", dass Polizisten dafür juristisch belangt werden könnten.

Wie Merz die Boomer-Generation zur Wahl komplett verarscht hat: "Aktivrente" bedeutet nicht steuerfreier Zuverdienst zur Rente. Sie bedeutet, als Rentner (!) mit weniger Abzügen im Job zu verbleiben – und zwar anstatt der Rente.

ℹ️ Hoppenstedt rudert zurück. Nun muss die "Hitze des verbalen Gefechts" in einem ruhig-sachlichen Phoenix-Interview als Grund für die Irritation herhalten. Der Koa-Vertrag bleibt schlichtweg in zentralen Fragen zur "Aktivrente" vage: "Wer das gesetzliche Rentenalter erreicht und freiwillig weiterarbeitet, bekommt sein Gehalt bis zu 2000 Euro im Monat steuerfrei."
Rentner sollen sich steuerfrei bis zu 2000 Euro dazuverdienen können. Das Geld soll die Rente ergänzen, nicht ersetzen. Jetzt äußern sich CDU-Politiker widersprüchlich.
Wer Menschen die charakterlich so verwahrlost sind wie Merz, Linnemann und Dobrindt in die Regierung wählt bekommt solche Politik. Umverteilung von überall nach ganz oben. Und wer es noch nicht gemerkt hat, es herrscht Krieg und zwar der Reichen & Gierigen gegen alle anderen. Und die Reichen & Gierigen sind dabei ihn zu Gewinnen.

Aus nem Hägar Comic: "Werde Wikinger es ist kein Job, es ist ein Abenteuer!" - "Wenn wir ihnen sagen es sei kein Job müssen wir sie auch nicht bezahlen"
das ist keine Aktivrente sondern aktives Alter. Und alle, die sich im Job kaputtgemacht haben und nicht änger arbeiten können (und oft auch keine hohen Renten bekommen) sind doppelt in den A... gekniffen. Echt christlich, Union!

I appreciate this piece, but I want to correct the record on one point. I don't talk about LLMs as making "collages" but rather as making papier-mâché, and the difference matters!
When an artist uses materials with text on them to create a collage, it's natural to assume that they chose the materials in part for the meaning of the text they include. Papier-mâché, on the other hand, uses paper (usually newsprint) simply for its physical properties. The text is incidental.
I use this metaphor to highlight, yet again, that LLMs don't work with the meaning of the text they process & extrude -- just the form.
The results of the non–peer-reviewed research highlight the risk of contracting H5N1 avian flu from unpasteurized dairy products or occupational exposure in dairies.
Researchers conducting a lab study published on the preprint server medRxiv detected infectious flu viruses in raw cow and sheep milk for over a day at room temperature and more than a week when refrigerated.
The results of the non–peer-reviewed research highlight the risk of contracting H5N1 avian flu from consuming unpasteurized dairy products and from occupational exposure in dairies, the UK investigators said. (While not peer-reviewed, it's best to stop drinking raw milk.)
"Although pasteurisation was shown to effectively inactivate influenza viruses in milk, unpasteurised milk still poses a risk of infection, both from occupational exposure in dairies and from the consumption of raw milk."

Looking at some clothing in the archives today. Here's a jumpsuit worn by Thalia Campbell on the 1981 march from Wales to Greenham Common in protest at proposal to site cruise missiles at the US army base. She dyed it purple, inspired by the colours of the women's suffrage movement.

People reach for Hitler analogies to describe Trump, because Hitler is what we all learn about in school. But there are other historical analogues that might be a closer fit, and Louis Napoleon is definitely a good one.
"The Eighteenth Brumaire focuses on the 1851 French coup d'état, by which Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, president of the Second Republic and Napoléon Bonaparte's nephew, became emperor of the Second French Empire as Napoleon III. It seeks to explain how capitalism and class struggle created conditions which enabled 'a grotesque mediocrity to play a hero's part'."
now I'm just wondering what Roman emperor is a good analogy for trump. He's not really a Commodus or a Caligula, is he? Is he like one of the forgettable crisis of the third century emperors who just kept debasing the currency?
Israel's defense exports jumped over 13% in 2024 to $14.8 billion, even as overall Israeli exports contracted 5.6%. The defense sector now represents nearly 25% of Israel's goods exports and approaching 10% of total exports.
Europe became the dominant market, accounting for 54% of defense exports (up from 35% in 2023) as countries increased military spending amid the Ukraine war. Air defense systems, missiles and rockets comprised 48% of exports, with Israeli technology proving effective against drone and missile threats.
However, industry sources report that images from #Gaza are complicating deal closures. #Spain recently froze a nearly $300 million Spike missile deal due to the situation in Gaza. Defense companies face parliamentary opposition in European countries and competitors using the Gaza war to discourage purchases of Israeli systems.
Sales to Abraham Accords countries reached $1.8 billion (12% of total exports), while Asian exports dropped from $6.3 billion to $3.4 billion due to major 2023 deals with India and Azerbaijan not repeating.

#Palestine / 12 countries condemn forced displacement of Palestinian village in occupied West Bank
Diplomatic missions from #UK, #Germany, #France and 9 other nations issued joint statement expressing solidarity with residents of Mughayir a-Deir who were forced to abandon homes due to settler violence and Israeli authorities' failure to provide protection.
As has been common practice for years, Israeli settlers established an outpost meters from a Palestinian village. The community was forced to flee after escalating violence and threats. Seven neighboring communities have already been displaced following the same pattern. Tens of thousands in Area C face "high or imminent risk" of forcible transfer.
These countries demand Israel dismantle the outpost and allow safe return. They call this a violation of international law and demand Israel respect the prohibition on forcible transfer.
**JOINT PRESS STATEMENT** **WEST BANK, JUNE 2025**
**DIPLOMATIC STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN MUGHAYIR A-DEIR**
The undersigned diplomatic missions express their strong solidarity with the Palestinian community of Mughayir a-Deir. The community's long-standing residents were recently forced to abandon their homes and belongings due to escalating settler violence and a prevailing climate of impunity.
Israeli settlers have established an outpost just metres from the community, which is a clear violation of international law. Mughayir a-Deir was one of the last remaining Palestinian communities in the area. Seven neighbouring communities have already been displaced amid a broader and deeply troubling pattern of violent settler attacks and a lack of protection by the Israeli authorities.
We therefore urge the Israeli authorities to dismantle the outpost immediately and to take urgent and effective measures to enable the safe return of the displaced residents. It is imperative that the community is protected from further violence and intimidation.
Mughayir a-Deir is not an isolated case—it reflects a broader pattern of displacement in Area C of the West Bank, where a coercive environment marked by repeated settler violence, movement restrictions, land confiscation, demolitions and inadequate access to essential services is making life unbearable and pushing communities to leave. Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Area C face a high or imminent risk of forcible transfer. This alarming trend gravely undermines prospects for a just and lasting peace.
We call on Israel to respect its obligations under international law, including the prohibition of forcible transfer. We also reaffirm our clear and consistent opposition to settlements, which are illegal under international law. We emphasise Israel's responsibility to protect all Palestinian communities in Area C.

Houthi attacks are forcing major operational changes:
[...] He [Colonel (Res.) Yair Kulas, head of SIBAT - the Defense Export and Defense Cooperation Directorate at Israel's Ministry of Defense] also referred to supply chain challenges: 'The supply chain is challenging due to shipping routes that have been changed under the Houthi threat, Ben Gurion Airport which has been blocked at times due to missile launches. So if we need to be more flexible, we are being flexible. And if there is a demand from the purchasing country for local production on its territory, we establish manufacturing activity there.'"
While Israeli defense companies acknowledge supply chain challenges from Houthi attacks on shipping routes Operation Prosperity Guardian , European naval missions provided free security for Israeli exports. Rather than diverting resources to Red Sea security, Israel can maintain focus on high-value defense production for the European market surge. While European militaries absorb the costs and risks of confronting Houthis and Israeli arms companies profit from the resulting demand.

Just to be clear, when I say that Fedora is the new Ubuntu, I mean that Fedora now occupies the place that Ubuntu used to have in terms of Linux distributions. It's a GOOD thing.
One of the things I really enjoy about using Fedora, is that they push the Linux desktop towards the future. Some call it bleeding edge, but it's not. It's cutting edge: you don't get the absolute latest, but you get the best that's also stable.
Fedora was among the first to adopt Wayland, the first to adopt Pipewire, to push Flatpak, portals, the first mainstream distro to push immutable filesystems in Fedora Silverblue.
This drive towards modern tech was what Ubuntu was doing back in the day: they were implementing the latest versions of GNOME, adopted newly developed programs at the time, like Banshee, or F-Spot, they pushed to have better driver integration, and more software available.
Using Fedora, I got that same excitement I used to get when I was using Ubuntu: every 6 months, there's a new drop of amazing updates. You get more modern technologies, you get improved security, you get new features right as they're being released, and you get that sense of really taking advantage of all that new stuff the Linux community talks about.
Fedora is a "current" distro, which means that you get the latest release of all the interesting stuff, like the desktop environments, the linux kernel, the graphics drivers, or wayland. And they do this without sacrificing stability.
Fedora, in my experience with it, has been rock solid. In general, I didn't have many problems with any Linux distro that I daily drove, but all of them tended to exhibit small issues after a while.
My experience with Fedora has been fantastic thanks to this: Flatpak is wonderfully integrated in the GNOME Software app, it's all a one click install, all updates are handled there, I just never think about my system anymore, I just use it. That peace of mind is something I never truly achieved with any other Linux distro
Another thing I really like is that Fedora has the DEFAULT experience. They ship the desktop as is, without any meaningful extensions, themes, configurations, or tweaks.
It's just productivity central. GNOME, for me, doesn't need anything else than the default experience. It is extremely efficient once you wrap your head around how it works, and providing me with a crutch, like an always visible dock, or desktop icons, would just compromise that productivity.
Moving to Fedora also had me learn a few things, especially how to use dnf. I didn't need to use it, but I wanted to; and since I was a lot more familiar with APT, I had no idea what I was doing.
Turns out, Fedora has a huge community as well, something Ubuntu has had since it began, so it's another checkmark next to my "Fedora is the next Ubuntu" checklist

Une évaluation des mois passés par Trump à la Maison Blanche par un éminent commentateur de CNN.
Stephen Collinson a déclaré :
Au cours de ses quatre mois à la Maison Blanche, Trump s’est livré à des menaces de droits de douane, à des déclarations sur son désir d’annexer le Canada et le Groenland et à la destruction de programmes humanitaires dans le monde entier.
Le résultat, selon lui, est :
« À l'heure actuelle, les dirigeants chinois, russes, israéliens, européens et canadiens ont constaté que Trump n'est plus aussi puissant qu'ils le pensent. Ils en concluent donc qu'il est possible de lui désobéir sans conséquences. » (E)
Seuls les Arabes prennent au sérieux ses bêtises quotidiennes, achètent ses faveurs et lui offrent des concessions, tout en soulignant nécessairement leur rejet de son plan de déplacement de Gaza, mais sans prendre de positions qui contrecarreraient son potentiel ultérieur.
Were the covid gene therapy injections selectively targeted at people of a non-Indian heritage? If you look at Mark Crispin Millers posts I don't recall seeing many Indians there. Could be wrong but majority by far of fatalities were people of European or African descent.
Have additionally been trying to understand for quite some time why I was being nagged via text messages during covidhoax to update my 'ethnicity' with my local general practitioners office. I got about six messages telling me to do so all of which I ignored. It was a high priority item for them for reasons I still don't quite understand.
There was also the paper that came out of India indicating that the novelty flu pathogen selectively biased certain 'ethnicities' toward poorer outcomes. Europeans and Africans came off worst I believe. RFKjr mentioned this paper which was reported on widely and immediately became controversial - so it was obviously meant to be seen by as many as possible.
Novelty pathogen with ethnicity bias coupled with novelty injections with an ethnicity bias. Would be so easy to conflate the two and thereby validate the conclusion of that paper from India.
And while all this was happening Africans and Europeans across the west were supposed be engaged in a terrible 'race war' thanks to Pierre Kory thereby depleting their ranks, assets and resources etc. Indians were fully exempt from this supposed whacky racer war aside from helping to stir it all up.
The timing of it all matches perfectly with the progression of the corona hoax. I actually think this very plausibly was the original plan which didn't meet expectations by quite some wide margin. Left everyone puzzled and confused more than anything else which was then followed by an awkward pause like it was now fully off-script so no one was really sure what to do next.
Then Ukraine happened and like right out of nowhere AI became the newest current thing. It just blew up exactly as you'd expect if someone had been sitting on it waiting for exactly the right moment.
It was going to change everything then didn't except get everyone talking about it. Perhaps the controllers of the corona hoax were a little too overconfident into its potential as a labor saving gimmick. Now we find out that a big AI project being run out of India was a giant hoax. So that stymied the AI takeover.

He said Israel’s repeated targeting of Gaza’s health system has pushed it to the brink of collapse, leaving over 23 hospitals non-operational and thousands of cancer and dialysis patients without care, resulting in an average of five cancer-related deaths per day. 3/3
> At the same time, we observe that lower-income individuals, despite having smaller ecological impacts, often express stronger pro-environmental attitudes.
> The very economic processes that enable societies to develop environmental consciousness simultaneously intensify their physical impact on ecosystems, creating a disconnect between stated environmental values and actual environmental outcomes.
> At the individual level, a different dynamic emerges. Despite their greater environmental impact, affluent groups exhibit less environmental concern and prioritize economic growth over ecological protection. This highlights the limitations of post-materialist narratives, which assume that affluence inherently fosters environmental responsibility. In contrast, lower-income individuals within the US—despite their smaller carbon footprints—consistently exhibit stronger pro-environmental attitudes
@FediThing Might be. There's certainly some research that might support that.
The writers of the paper argue that because lower-income groups are more exposed to the impacts of environmental degradation. More volatile weather and pollution have a material impact on their lives in ways that the richer classes do not experience.
IMO, it probably a mix of both and other factors and incentives (i.e. the rich are more likely to fall for propaganda about ethical and pro-environmental consumption)
Israel’s decision last week to create 22 new settlements in the West Bank was reported as somewhat uneventful news in the media. The reality is, however, that it’s the latest in a series of moves to cement Israeli control of the occupied territory.
Covert Web-to-App Tracking via Localhost on Android
"a novel tracking method by Meta and Yandex potentially affecting billions of Android users. We found that native Android apps—including Facebook, Instagram, and several Yandex apps including Maps and Browser—silently listen on fixed local ports for tracking purposes.
These native Android apps receive browsers' metadata, cookies and commands from the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica scripts embedded on thousands of web sites. These JavaScripts load on users' mobile browsers and silently connect with native apps running on the same device through localhost sockets [WebRTC]. As native apps access programatically device identifiers like the Android Advertising ID (AAID) or handle user identities as in the case of Meta apps, this method effectively allows these organizations to link mobile browsing sessions and web cookies to user identities, hence de-anonymizing users' visiting sites embedding their scripts."
similar to what ebay does. seems like facebook wants another maximum GDPR fine (which should be increased btw). these attacks should be mitigated by disabling (e.g. uBlockO), blocking tracking scripts (e.g. uBlockO), android without Android Advertising ID (GrapheneOS) and avoiding facebook and yandex sites and apps or better yet all proprietary spyware apps (f-droid.org)
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
The tracking technique described at https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/06/meta-and-yandex-are-de-anonymizing-android-users-web-browsing-identifiers/ is prevented by Vanadium's default "Disabled non-proxied UDP" value.
Seems to be a kind of online conference. For being open source focused it's opening is very salesy/buzzword salad-ish.
"Open protocols, not closed platforms. The Fediverse, Mastodon and ActivityPub. ATmosphere, Bluesky and AtProto. Human connections, not AI bots, nor fake news nor manipulative algorithms. New funding models. New forms of governance. Better trust and safety. Direct relationships to stakeholders and customers. Interoperability across social platforms everywhere, and so much more.
After a decade of stagnation, next-generation social media is breaking out of the closed silos and connecting the world into a global, open social web. It’s a wild world full of opportunity.
FediForum brings together the leading thinkers and doers who build this new Open Social Web."
Edit: unexpectatly we are back online. Will share how we found a solution later. There might be still some federation issues though.
Alt account of poVoq@slrpnk.net here.
Our instance is currently down and I can't get remote access to the servers. It appears that there might have been a hardware failure of the main firewall, which is the one thing I can't work around remotely.
I am still trying a few things, but I am not very optimistic that I can get access.
The really unfortunate part is that just now I am on one of my rare work deployments abroad, so I also can't access it physically during the next few weeks and my usual back up that could restart it is not available either.
As something like that never happened in 3 years operating the servers, I thought I can risk it, but murphy's law seems inescapable 😓
I will try to keep you posted here on any updates, but probably there will not be much I can do for a while. Really bad timing 😥
Edit: we might use this "opportunity" to migrate the instance to Piefed, which has been an idea for quite some time now. I will keep you posted on that.
Very very bad timing. I just moved to that server and now it is just gone. I have moved to another server. I guess I am glad that it happened now so I know how poorly Slrpnk.net is managed.
Out of 3 years of reliable service, this is the one time the server has been down for any length of time, and only due to the admin not being able to be physically present for a wildly unlikely and unexpected problem.
I know, I'm the one who approved your application.
You happened to sign up right before we've had our first particularly bad issue in 3 years. Unlucky, yes, but it's a bit out of order (IMO) to say we're a poorly managed instance based on that, especially seeing as you lost nothing besides the time it took to write your application. :\
Alt of ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net chiming in, thanks for giving us the sitrep, poVoq!
This is an unusually unlucky set of circumstances, but for the Solarpunks who find their way here, let's try to make the best of it. If you don't already have an alternative account somewhere, you may want to create one to use until we're back up and running. lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, or lemmy.cafe are some solid choices to consider. After that, you may want to favorite poVoq's post here so you can check back on any news.
Even without our home base, we can still share the solarpunky stuff we find and create around the threadiverse (though as Tofu mentioned, maybe this could be a time to take a breather to be refreshed when we come back 😄).
Besides, if the past is any indication, time will fly by and we'll be back before you know it!
Well, on the plus side lots of lessons learned and I think I might move at least the xmpp server to an external vps to have a backup communication channel.
Not sure about your area, but a wireguard accessible OOB connection is a great piece of kit to keep handy. I use a cheap 768kbps SIM in an Ethernet connected switch into my personal systems. It's saved my skin numerous times.
I'm sure this is obvious, especially in hindsight, but just mentioning because the existence of IoT LTE data plans for a minimal fee ( $100/year for me in Midwest US) was NOT obvious to me until 2 years ago.
Yeah I had plans to set up something like that, but always other priorities and in this specific case I could maybe access other internal servers but i would need KVM access to reboot the firewall or some other way to cut physical power. And exfiltrating hundreds of GBs of lemmy database wouldn't work over such a small pipe either.
Hey fellow slrpnk.net refugees... if you're looking to recreate your list of subscribed communities, here's a good place to start:
::: spoiler click here for a list of communities that are NOT politics, tech, or meme -related.
Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they're not the focus.

MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR

(luckily I was posting this to newcomers whenever I had the chance...)
I this it’s a law that servers run 100% perfect until the literal day one leaves town with zero way to return home. One of the many reasons I got all my services off of unraid.
Very cool to learn you’re running your own machines. Do you go into detail about this anywhere?
We have a small write up about the hardware on our wiki, but it is also down right now.
I think we will share a post-mortem write up of the actual improvements we will do to avoid this in the future.
One thing I will definitly do is to add a KVM remote management console to one of our server boards and move the main firewall into a VM with hardware passthrough of the NICs (this was anyways planned for a 10gbit network upgrade for the second half of 2025). This way I should be able to reboot and even reinstall the main ingress point remotely, so that only the fiber gateway remains as a failure point that requires physical access.
As email in profile is an optional feature on our instance about 50% of the userbase opted to not share one so we would only reach some people. But yes, getting spam filtered would be another problem of mass-mailing.
But I found a way to put up a simple html error page and will add this later to inform our members and link to this thread.
I am a slrpnk user. Oh well, shit happens. What makes me a bit sad was that a few months (?) ago something similar happened. Slrpnk.net was down for aa day or two? Don't remember the exact amount of time. What I do remember is asking if there was intention of adding a second admin and making the point that it would be good to create that sort of redundancy. I was ignored.
Mid of july is basically 1 and a half months from now. Hopefully a new solarpunk instance emerges, one that is safer from such scenarios.
Enjoy your vacation and don't stress too much! Shit happens.

in reply to nocturne • • •Two of the three I noticed were from different users (but the other two cases were the same username on different instances, so it's very plausible that they may all be alt accounts of the same human).
You misspelled the instance name, but that's a good thing since pinging the user in question with a mention probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway.
The thing that confuses me is that the user has posted a bunch of other content (both posts and comments) such that the ratio of spam to ham is pretty low, and the writing of the comments seems very human (in terms of the inferences it makes and the idioms it uses), so if it's some kind of repost-bot, it's a very sophisticated one.
It really seems like a legitimate user whose account is getting hijacked to occasionally post gibberish spam, which is why I find it so weird.
