8 Million Requests Later, We Made The SolarWinds Supply Chain Attack Look Amateur

Surprise surprise, we've done it again. We've demonstrated an ability to compromise significantly sensitive networks, including governments, militaries, space agencies, cyber security companies, supply chains, software development systems and environments, and more. “Ugh, won’t they just stick to creating poor-quality memes?” we hear you moan. Maybe we should, maybe

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.

Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.

Using plugins like AdNauseam to poison ad trackers (and cost them marketing dollars).

Using VPNs set to different locations.

Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info). Bonus points if you correct it to someone else's info on their site that's similar to yours.

Only fill in required fields when you sign up for anything, but only provide correct info if it matters for you to use the service, otherwise provide plausible, but incorrect, data.

If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.

@lea It means you went a bit too fast just before that. #weeeee
judging online information quality based on site where it appeared: a comprehensive guide

- "How To (...)" in the title, cookie banners, lots of side-information written in a way that wastes your time: SEO slop, don't bother. You might as well make a wild guess, same likelyhood it'll be correct

- official docs for $x, autogenerated by a rube-goldberg machine and automagically pushed into whatever-pages by a fully-skidoodled, post-quantum CI pipeline: describes everything, except the exact fact you're looking for.

- no HTTPS, tilde in the name, DNS with 4+ dots, likely hosted on some dusty uni server, white background with absolutely no CSS: one of the best resources on the subject. you question how it's even still online

- site titled "Garry's blog", default wordpress favicon, last update either previous month or 12 years ago: golden. crystal-clear exposition, good examples and screenshots framed so well you don't even need arrows pointing places. likely used as a cheat-sheet daily by everyone in the community

Don't forget to support thy favourite artists on Bandcamp Friday. On those days Bandcamp does not take their cut and everything you pay goes directly to the artists.

How to set that up?
1. Set a browser bar shortcut for Bandcamp search, so you can easily see if they have music available there.
2. Use the wishlist function to collect your favourite tracks until Bandcamp Friday arrives.
3. When the moment is there, open your wishlist, determine your budget and click the buy button. Determine your price and add to cart.
4. Checkout.

Artist or track available on Bandcamp? Try Qobuz (French). Last time I checked they had the highest payout to artists.

Hot take: comparing Loops to a casino is fearmongering.

Video is a medium, not a drug.

TikTok is the problem, not short video.

I built Loops for adults who deserve better. No behavior tracking, no dark patterns, real safety tools.

The fediverse deserves a short video platform it can actually trust.

Why Loops Matters.

In a world where platforms rise and fall at the whim of governments and boardrooms, we're building something that can't be shut down, sold off, or taken away.

Hunderttausende rechte Politiker rätseln, was Obamas Worte bedeuten:

@mboelen @BjornW Ik maak regelmatig exports, je weet maar nooit wanneer ze besluiten om de exportfunctie in te perken. De handmatige zoektocht kost me veel tijd. Sommige artiesten of individuele tracks zijn lastig terug te vinden.

Voor de meer populaire artiesten is het vrij gemakkelijk, maar ik heb juist vrij veel van kleine artiesten die ik graag buiten Spotify wil steunen.
