Is it how Calckey works or just this server?
Been in the Fediverse many years and enjoy every minute here. Lots of interests in tech, social, politics.
GPhotos alt that's best for VIDEOS?
Hey all, first-time poster / ex-long-time redditor here. I tried using the Lemmy Search function but it still seems to be broken for searching specific communities so I will just ask here at the risk of creating a duplicate post / question: Of all the Google Photos Alternatives, can anyone say which one(s) work best for showing and organizing videos as well as photos? AKA not a video-first solution but something that handles both equally well. Not looking for something low-resources or ready for mass public usage, it will mostly be for myself and maybe a couple friends who will probably never actually use it and just ask me to share via GPhotos or dropbox instead :/
Folks, this is not a small breach or an unfortunate timing situation. This is a major admission of lax to non-existent security best practices, and on a instance that is the largest collection of leftist activists I am aware of. This never should have happened, and this passive voice "Oops, we made a mistake glad you are all understanding" response is wholly inadequate.
The admins are either incompetent or contemptuous of their users. Migrate now.
🚨 Kolektiva.social SECURITY ALERT 🚨 This is an alert for Kolektiva.social users. Please read this post in its entirety! In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social's admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest. Unfortunately, at the time of the raid, our admin was troubleshooting an issue and working with a backup copy of the Kolektiva.social database. This backup, dated from the first week of May 2023, was in an *unencrypted* state when the raid occurred and it was seized, along with everything else. The database is the heart of a Mastodon server. A database copy such as the one seized may include any of the following user data, in this case up to date as of early May 2023: - User account information like the e-mail address associated with your account, your followers and follows, etc. - All your posts: public, unlisted, followers-only, *and direct ("DMs")*. - Possibly IP addresses associated with your account - IP addresses on Kolektiva.social are logged for 3 days and then deleted, so IP addresses from any logins in the 3 days prior to the database backup date would be included. - A hashed ("encrypted") version of your password. 🚨 👉 As a precaution we highly recommend that all users on Kolektiva.social *change their password immediately* to a new, unique, and strong password. We sincerely apologize to all our users and regret this breach. In hindsight, it was obviously a mistake to leave a copy of the database in an unencrypted state. Unfortunately, what would otherwise have been a small mistake happened to coincide with a raid, due to bad luck and spectacularly bad timing. We understand that our users and other people on the Fediverse will have a lot of questions. We will try to answer them as best we can, but please be patient and bear in mind that we may be overwhelmed with messages, and may be delayed in responding or unable to provide answers to certain questions for legal or technical reasons. As a security culture reminder, it can be extremely harmful to the individuals charged and to our community to openly speculate on the Internet about alleged criminal activity or about what law enforcement may be able to do with seized data. Our present awareness is that the seized Kolektiva data is unrelated to the federal investigation and prosecution and we are exploring legal avenues to have the seized data returned and copies destroyed. Thank you for your understanding and solidarity :black_sparkling_heart: 👇 Please see our replies to this post for additional information (1/?) 👇
