Watch out for the stingers.

Today I’m experimenting with Pleroma <pleroma.social> a lightweight fediverse server. I’m installing onto OpenBSD v6.9 <www.openbsd.org> the proactively secure UNIX-like O/S.
There’s lots of food for thought from the recent Reimaging the Internet conference. I found the 90 minute panel discussion on Interoperability and Alternative Social Media with Cory Doctorow and Daphne Keller particularly attractive. Difficult to summarise but if you’d rather have protocols than platforms, promotion of competition in the social media market and better ways to deal with the pathologies in online discourse then this is for you.
Always makes me happy 😊

Running JavaScript inside PDFs is a bad idea and Mozilla previously disabled it by default. But now with FireFox 88 this option is ENABLED by default. Which means, if a PDF file contains JS it will run without any user interaction. What can possibly go wrong?
To disable this: about:config pdfjs.enableScripting –> false

OpenBSD v6.9 is here! The proactively secure Unix like operating system’s record of more than 20 years with only 2 remote holes in the default install still stands. www.openbsd.org/69.html

Brilliant afternoon walk. Peace, quiet & fresh air.
