Dudo.Social – Dudweiler hat jetzt ein Zuhause im Fediverse

tl;dr: Es gibt jetzt eine neue Mastodon-Instanz im Fediverse: Dudo.Social. \o/ Alle Menschen, die in Dudweiler wohnen, aus Dudweiler stammen oder sich mit Dudweiler verbunden fühlen, sind herzlich willkommen. Aktuell ist die Anmeldung noch nicht offen, das hat technische Gründe aber es ist auch eine Vorsichtsmaßnahme für mich. Solange ich mich noch mit der Administration befasse und lerne, will ich nicht, dass die Instanz direkt voller Leute ist. Wer aber schon einmal mit mir testen […]

Probably, some hours, and just a new (or old one) conspiracy will conquer #WWW. Not possible to save the #world instead of this scary joke about 7 minutes between? This is true that it can be just that problem when too much idiots can believe that no one knows any case about what can be done faster. No good place to be a #system, actually. Except... Surely, I've enjoyed trial test of #Windows grey theme. But on #Discord.

When it comes to defence: rate limiting, connection limiting, allow/deny rulesets, and tarpitting for malevolent crawlers are necessities nowadays.

Even the static-content-only systems need the allow/deny and connection limiting mechanisms (and have had them since the 1990s), although tarpitting often expends more local resources than it saves for static-only systems, so that becomes a matter of taking a principled stand rather than of cost.

I don't think this #ChrisHedges interview with #YashaLevine got quite the response I expected it would from #Fedi when I first posted it. Which is strange because it's about how the #internet was specifically created as a tool for #surveillance.

And that includes things like #TOR.

I think the interview is certainly worth a watch.
