A small informal review of the Conservancy's "Recommendations when Using AI"

📚️ sfconservancy.org/llm-gen-ai/llm-backed-generative-ai-recommendations.html

✍️ I think this is a very reasonable approach to LLM-gen-AI (hereafter AI) and floss space. Despite the fear mongering, AI is simply a tool. As with any statistical software, the human has to be the final arbiter of the content - not the tool itself. The free form input and output increases the concern over confirmation bias but it does not negate the value of the tool if used properly.

💡The main goal - imho - and one which we see this piece calling for in #12 ... is the rapid and immediate forking/development of floss-only AI tooling. Some do already exist, but they are crude in comparison. As with any software, the four software freedoms are paramount for ensuring the safety, equity, and accessibility of the tooling. This is essential and I've already started investing so as to be able to self-host my own generative AI.

🔨 In short, if these two criteria are met - namely, the human is the final arbiter of the content and the underlying models/tooling are floss, then I think arguments against AI-usage crumble. Sure, concerns over reliance on proprietary AI, governmental and/or big money influence, those all matter ... and floss and the four freedoms protect us from these valid concerns. AI is just the latest software - it's not special.

⚡️ This set of recommendations is game-changing. I think the next task for the Conservancy to consider is the legal / copyright side of the matter. A member of our small group brought this up and I share that same concern. As more litigation and legal precedent emerges, it will be interesting to see how this guidance evolves. In particular, I am referring to the US-side of legality re: https://www.copyright.gov/ai/ - I think the next wisest task for the Conservancy to take on is licensing + AI.

Final Grade: A+

This piece reaffirms the Conservancy firmly as a leader in FLOSS spaces. Massive thanks.

Now that I've dug my hands deep into the Mastodon core, it looks like it's definitely possible to get the original home instance counts for federated posts, not just your own server's local tally.

For boosts and favourites, recent versions of Mastodon already fetch the origin's reported totals when retrieving a post and store them as "untrusted counts" (untrusted because the remote server self-reports them). So a remote post carries the home server's actual numbers.

Replies are trickier, as they only federate to subscribed servers, so the local count tends to lag. However, you can fetch the full reply tree from the origin on demand.

I'm basing our algorithmic home feed exactly on that: boosts and favourites from the origin counts, and comments from a backfilled reply tree.

Are you a #Zig coder and #Vim user?

I've been trying to steer clear from LSPs when developing Zig and wanting to use ctags instead. But there are two issues with this:

1) ctags doesn't natively support Zig symbols; and
2) I miss being able to go-to-definition for Zig builtin functions and the std lib

https://codeberg.org/hgrsd/ztags is a simple tool (in bash) that solves this.

It bundles a Zig ctags grammar and automatically fetches the Zig source, generates tags for it, and then appends it to your project's tags so you can navigate freely between your project's symbols and Zig's stdlib code.

Hope this might be useful for some other Zig devs too. Please boost if you'd like, so that they might see it :)

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-60471 - Use-After-Free in GPAC MP4Box PID Reconfiguration

Processing a crafted MPEG-2 TS file with MP4Box `-info` can trigger a heap use-after-free in `gf_filter_pid_reconfigure_task_discard()`, causing a crash and potential code execution.

Summary:
The `gf_filter_pid_reconfigure_task_discard()` function in `filter_core/filter_pid.c` can access a freed `pid_inst` structure during PID reconfiguration task disposal. When MP4Box processes a specially crafted MPEG-2 Transport Stream file containing broken PMT descriptors, missing packet sync markers, unsupported stream types, and invalid packet data, a PID instance can be freed by `gf_filter_pid_inst_swap_delete()` and later accessed in `gf_filter_pid_reconfigure_task_discard()`.

AddressSanitizer reports a `heap-use-after-free` at `filter_core/filter_pid.c:1341`, with a `READ of size 8` from a freed 336-byte heap region.

CWE:
CWE-416 - Use After Free

Affected Component:
```
filter_core/filter_pid.c:1341
Function: gf_filter_pid_reconfigure_task_discard()
```

Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)

Affected Version:
The issue was reproduced on:
```
GPAC version: 2.5-DEV-rev1557-g62714f27c-master
Commit: 62714f27c64a3d1eb7e880f9eed2d38673cb43ce
```

The MITRE response states that GPAC Project/MP4Box before `26.02.0` is affected. Local MITRE data also describes affected GPAC MP4Box 2.4 and earlier, including development branches that contain the vulnerable PID reconfiguration lifecycle handling.
Builds before the fix commit `868c6801c226e9964cace54cfd5a759f152780b4` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable path.

Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MPEG-2 TS file with corrupted PMT descriptors and invalid packet data. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -info 31_gf_filter_pid_reconfigure_task_discard_filter_core_filter_pid_c_1341
```

No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious file, or an automated media workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled input.

Impact:
The immediate observed impact is Denial of Service due to process termination. Because the vulnerability is a heap use-after-free, memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution are possible.

Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
868c6801c226e9964cace54cfd5a759f152780b4
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected filter PID reconfiguration path should ensure that PID instance lifetime is valid before task discard logic accesses the object.

I was able to add a couple more people to my "Linux Audio" collection for those who are doing music production on the Linux platform.

Since people can't be added to collections unless their Mastodon site is using Mastodon 4.6 or higher, I have to add people little by little as their Mastodon sites update.

Little by little I guess. I think in the end it will be a great feature! :)

@aral @_elena i'm very pessimistic about the future, globally. A small part of me was still putting hope in #Europe . Hoping we would have the chance to do things better, differently.

Adopt more officially #fediverse , #opensource , #ethics solution. It wouldn't have been hard to leverage on the great strength and potential of #mastodon , #matrix and #element , ...

This might seem out of proportion, but all my hope is gone 😞 All of it.

After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds".

A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word.

If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service.

When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?

The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised.

They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right?

If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place.

You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation.
