I'm in the process of moving to the Seattle area. I'm moving my KO6YQ local/tech topics account from sfba[.]social to @KO6YQ . If you're already following me, the follow should be migrated to the new location without action on your part.

If you're mad at EFF for making it possible to use Chrome with less tracking instead of yelling at people to use a different browser, then I assume you have never heard of harm reduction. Giving people digital privacy and security advice means meeting people where they're at. Otherwise, you're just running your mouth to make yourself feel smart.

The Association of Internet Researchers has decided that we will ramp down our use of Twitter, effective immediately.

Instead, we are shifting our activity to Mastodon, where for a few months we have been running our very own server. 👏👍

This means that we will not be tweeting during the #AoIR2023 conference. Instead, we will be posting on AoIR’s Mastodon instance (https://aoir.social).

Membership of this instance is a benefit of AoIR membership. AoIR members have recently been sent an invite link; if you are not a member of AoIR, why not join and also get access to our online community?

New Privacy Badger Prevents Google From Mangling More of Your Links and Invading Your Privacy

We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.

This might have slipped under the radar these past few days, but a 9.8 RCE in Exim (on many, many mail servers) that does not require authentication is bad bad bad.
