My current AI opinion is fairly simple: the model is not the thing I want to depend on.

I use #OpenCode because it gives me a stable harness I control, while models stay what they are - external services I can swap when needed. Same config, same agents, same permissions across terminal, CodeNomad, IntelliJ/PhpStorm, Zed, and #buzz

Less repeated setup. Less vendor gravity. More privacy and sovereignty.

I've been pouring quite a bit of time and energy into running my own #Decentralized instance, and this is only the beginning! My current #Pleroma instance is essentially a test environment, I'm planning to migrate to other platforms down the road.

But the real challenge lies elsewhere. If you read my previous post, you know I've been struggling to get my friends and family on board. I can still convince my parents and grandmother to try #Matrix, but pulling my friends over is a whole different story. They seem open to the idea of an #ActivityPub + Matrix combo, yet they're dragging their feet. The most active person on my instance (aside from me) hasn't even bothered to set a profile picture.

So I wanted to ask everyone who's active in the #Fediverse — how did you bring your friends here? What got them interested? 🤔

If your country has websites that sell used items, I'd really appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for affordable Braille displays and let me know if you find any. Thank you!

@nixCraft The open-source dilemma in plain sight: critical global infrastructure relying on unrewarded volunteer trust.

📣 More Dutch companies are making their Android apps inaccessible on alternative mobile devices, by using the strictest Google Play Integrity API settings. 📣

After Funda and Rabobank, now a public collective for emergency controlrooms has made their app inactive on open source OS's. Caught by @rikviergever from @murena .

We can't keep being dependent on two US big tech companies. If we want more digital sovereignty, we'll need to invest in mobile alternatives.

For the sake of the argument, lets presume #agentic_development is the future, will replace humans writing code (almost) entirely.

When we then consider that currently tokens are highly subsidized by investors. Literally trillions a year.

And we see that even with that subsidy, prices are increasing rapidly. But that eventually, these subsidies will be removed and costs will be shifted to the people using the AI.

Then we can only conclude that in future, #softwaredevelopment becomes something for the wealthy only.

A few years ago, everyone with access to a computer and the will to learn, could write the Next Killer App, or get hired to write software. From girls living in a country where $100/month is a solid income, to guys living in the basement of their mom in a country where €2000/month is on the low end. Especially with #opensource goving free access to a solid foundation for everyone, worldwide.

But with the costs of unsubsidized agentic software development, that division will make software development much less accessible to people. When the daily bill for tokens is higher than the common monthly income in your country, it's inaccessible.

We often hear the story that now everyone can "make" software, with AI. Because the skills to write software are no longer a requirement. A barrier removed.
But the barrier isn't removed, it's replaced with a barrier of wealth. A barrier that anyone with a brain and will, could overcome, replaced by a barrier that is set by society and impossible to overcome for a vast majority of the people worldwide.

>Hi,
>
> I built a forum meant to be attacked. Not another vulnerable-by-design app — the opposite.
>
> The app is *protected* by client-side E2E encryption. Your goal: extract a flag from a user's encrypted memo. Dumping the DB won't help. Neither will root. The key never leaves the owner's browser.
>
> It's Juice Shop inverted. There, you hunt for bugs someone deliberately planted. Here, nothing is broken on purpose — three defences are claimed to hold, and the point is to prove otherwise.
>
> SelfDataGuard — the memo stays unreadable with full database access and root.
> SelfRecover — authentication holds with no email and no phone at any point.
> SelfModerate — reputation resists coordinated fake accounts.
>
> Concretely: extract the memo, take over an account without its password, read a private message between two other members, or bury someone's reputation. Each objective maps to MITRE ATT&CK and OWASP references.
>
> Three known limits are disclosed up front, so nobody wastes a report on them:
>
> — the login password also derives the wrap key → E2E **at rest**, and it's stated as such
> — offline floor on the memo is ~52 bits behind PBKDF2-600k; Argon2id is on the roadmap — the SU console is a sandbox, its password is public on purpose
>
> Rules of engagement are public: explicit scope, safe harbor, coordinated disclosure at 90 days. The report form is E2E encrypted — the module you're testing protects your report too.
>
> No bounty, no company behind it. AGPL-3.0, one maintainer, and a hall of fame that's still empty.
