@nprofile…nmyv Ah, small world! I was evaluating that gem before I posted the feature request. I wondered if it was complete because I didn't see a data file in it or, skimming the code, a download method for the passwords.

2025-03-02 15:45:47

Has anyone used password breach lists to prevent account takeover? I think we've seen it for the first time on Lobsters. I feel out of my depth yoloing security controls and would appreciate advice: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/issues/1478

@nprofile…x759 One of the running jokes of OSA discussions has been how the most confident and dismissive commenters always out themselves as having never worked with a lawyer or law. They have no idea what professional advice costs or why it's worth it. But they love make things up and then get mad at responsible people for not believing them!

2025-02-28 17:50:22

I have accidentally nerdsniped myself into writing an experimental alternative to rake, the ubiquitous ruby tool that is a bit long in the tooth. I realized it's a well-defined small project that would give an excuse to play with Literal and Quickdraw. More info+links: https://lobste.rs/c/e3wazf

@nprofile…e8v5 Oof. I have joked that the UK makes saying embarrassing true things about rich people into a tort. I'm glad the law got improved.
Thank you for these references, the OSA has had me trying to figure out even jargon like "extraterritorial authority" to explain its overreach. Let alone evaluate that threat!

I know water is wet, politicians gonna lie, everyone in the room is hateable, but this one got me. The ubiquitous stated intention of the Online Safety Act is censoring social media globally.
And Ofcom's threats to small communities are working: https://onlinesafetyact.co.uk/in_memoriam/

Here's the law, Section 4 (6): https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/section/4

2025-02-28 16:25:02

cw politicians but... Vance is correct, Starmer is lying. The UK Online Safety Act is the UK censoring US social media. It is an explicit goal of the law, their regulator, and the bill's proponents.

The big topic is removing the geoblock for the UK OSA and writing up a summary. There's a lot to bring together, but the gist is in this masto thread https://ruby.social/@pushcx/114037887892835724 - there's now enough independent reasons to think the UK's censorship isn't a credible threat on several levels.

2025-02-24 18:20:04

The next Lobsters Office Hours stream is just under 2 hours away. Maybe it's worth revisiting the brigading rule? https://lobste.rs/c/v2dfj4 It's a compromise to try to have good discussions and be a good neighbor, and we have a hard example in progress now. Stream info: https://push.cx/stream

@nprofile…vrtw @nprofile…x759 Ask the general public if gmail is email. I feel confident the public considers a <textarea> that delivers to email addresses to be email, whether individually or to a group. Many email lists have public web archives.

@nprofile…sjm8 @nprofile…x759 @nprofile…9802 Yeah I dunno. I took the middle route of acknowledging ways I know geoblocks are imperfect without recommending people use them.
Relatedly, it made me want to revive the tor endpoint for Lobsters that's been defunct for a few years. As long as I'm not blocking tor exit nodes for all the abuse out of them anyways...

@nprofile…x759 Oh, when this was getting drafted? That's great, really increases my confidence in it.
I think between this post's points, plus everything on Lobsters is email (given popular understanding that web interfaces like gmail are email, https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/definition_of_email_for_online_s), plus lack of justification of the extraterritoriality means Lobsters is in the clear many ways independently.

About 30 minutes until the next office hours stream. There's a disappearing PR to review and an odd visual bug I'm probably not going to try to diagnose. So issue/pr review is going to be very light, lots of time for questions and dev.

The big thing for the stream that starts in 10 min is the UK OSA: integrating a geoip database, writing a post asking UK users to get involved, and writing a footer to direct UK users to the post. If there's no way through the OSA, that's also the functional basis for a geoblock on March 16.

@nprofile…vuff I’m leaning towards Zulip for future projects. The mobile app UI is programmer-clunky but otherwise it’s a nice app.
If you’re mostly doing file-sharing, especially if they’re large or folks are in an office, I’d get a Synology NAS to set up a shared folder and its Chat app.

I feel like I deserved an unlock for exactly hitting the round score.

I'm watching an talk introducing sociocracy, an alternative method of organizing businesses. Trying to be open-minded tho it sounds like a hellish time-sink of meetings. Speaker led a meeting demo, burned 14 min to pick a 'facilitator' (unclear purpose) and after 5+m rehashing the choice I tap out.

I've been tinkering locally with #1406, adding some more comments and tweaks. Lots of details that didn't quite fit our setup or needed a tweak when I enabled it.

That same contributor also opened two more PRs, woo!
https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/pull/1407 allows email replies to mentions/comments, great. Minor fixes and weirdly, the build didn't run?
https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/pull/1406 is Rails 8 setup moving to SolidCache. Teeny changes. No build again. Hm.

The odd jr dev PRs (1392, 1389, 1390) are getting closed as stale by the bot, kinda as expected.
New: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/pull/1411 likely to solve a race condition/circular dep in Origin creation, almost ready.
https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/pull/1410 is a draft for simplifying the CSS build but threatens to sprawl

Since last stream:
I restored an old URL for our site icon so people don't accidentally trip the rate limiting: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/issues/1412
Merged PR for 400s (another unrailsy bit of needed config) https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/pull/1399
And a cop for to keep new mod controllers safe https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/issues/1393

If you want to talk I'm keeping an eye on the IRC channel (https://lobste.rs/chat) and you'll see the flow of commits there, with no sniffling.

ughhh. Was going to stream this morning but my nose is now in infinite phlegm mode. I'm feeling ok and getting better, but can't keep up with the amount of muting this'd call for. I'm just going to get to work here.

Sorry for the short notice, but I'm postponing. Just found out some old friends are nearby for the holiday. If the toddler runs out of steam quick I'll stream ~2h late but maybe it'll be usual time tomorrow (bc I can't leave the OSA any longer).

Lobsters office hours in 2.5 hours on Twitch, https://push.cx/stream I plan to do PR review and then write the notice to UK users about the OSA. May be a short stream if my voice won't hold, I've done a lot of coughing the last week.

Argh. If a gpg-signed commit slips into a repo the git cli barfs up a ton of warnings about configuring gpg. git + github can’t prohibit signing and a repo can’t indicate the repo doesn’t care about sigs so… I guess I have to break the build.

Weird coincidence: as Google announced it's injecting ads (https://push.cx/google-ad-injection), the Brave browser that I blocked years ago for injecting ads allowed our block to start working again. They previously targeted us to spoof headers to. Office hours stream in 3 hours. https://push.cx/stream

I'm working on self-promo + handling it better by adding the Origin model previously discussed on stream. Streaming in about 45 minutes: https://push.cx/stream

2024-09-05 13:11:37

In 45 minutes I'll stream reverting a performance improvement (booo) on Lobsters and then continue work on pagination. https://push.cx/stream

2024-08-19 14:49:10

In four hours I'm going to stream some Lobsters dev at https://twitch.tv/pushcx Questions/queries gets priority but I hope to fix some bugs.
Also this weekend I had fun overengineering the archive pages at https://push.cx/stream so there's a transcript with timecodes + chat.

@npub1p45…89jz Did you do something to encourage more PRs?

Talking to an LLM feels like talking to BigCo Tier 1 customer support. They’re tortured into obscene friendliness but too uninformed and disempowered for anything but the most obvious conversation path.
