Hi all. This community was created for a spambot (tuxbot) but it appears to have some following. Is anyone interested in moderating the community?

Im counting the days for a Piefed app so i can switch over and be able to forget about ml drama and weirdness by jerry in c/[email protected]

I was probably the most prominent person who runs both and had database issues with k/mbin. I am happy to say that those are well behind me, largely because of the skill and patience of the Mbin team helping me resolve them.

Infosec.pub will be down for maintenance on Monday, July 1 2024, from approximately 10am until 1pm Eastern Time. I will be upgrading to the latest version of Lemmy, which requires an upgrade to postgres.

I don’t have an intention to block threads here

Just curious, why does this instance defederate feddit.nl? by jerry in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I am still here. Just don’t post much. I unblocked feddit.nl. It was quite problematic in the past but willing to try again.

ok - infosec.pub is now running on my main infrastructure - a 48 core/96 thread AMD epyc zen4 genoa with 256GB of DDR5 ECC ram and 2x4TB nvme SSDs, backed by a dedicated database server with the exact same specs, on a 10gbps network.

Hello everyone. I will be taking infosec.pub offline for a while today to move the instance to a new, larger server.

Blocked instances question by jerry in c/[email protected]

What site is the “loud extremists”?

I block instances that are the source of issues - shitjustworks caused a river of complaints - I don’t think I’ve seen any from the others.

Changes to Infosec.pub (infosec.pub)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I am going to be disabling image uploads and image serving, moving to moderated signups, and instituting some extensive block lists on infosec.pub due to the pervasive problems with CSAM attacks on lemmy instances.

No, it’s not happened to any of our instances yet, but I don’t need that headache. And if anyone does, I promise you that I will make it my life’s mission to see that those responsible are convicted and rotting in prison where they belong. ❤️

Edit: h/t to @infosec_jcp for pointing out the problem to me.

Blocked instances question by jerry in c/[email protected]

I block them as they come up as problematic. There isn’t a handy list of instances to block like in mastodon. I will block those others.

Hey @jerry, do you have any backup? Is there any way we can help you? by jerry in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I appreciate the offer and will likely make a call for more help soon.

Please don’t enable 2FA (infosec.pub)

2FA in lemmy doesn’t work reliably yet. Please don’t enable it or you will almost certainly get locked out.

Note: it makes me sad to post this.

Hi all. I am going to implement a block for sh.itjust.works. I am going to need years of therapy from all the nasty crap coming from that instance.

It’s 100x worse than Mastodon but 100x better than kbin (so far)

As some have pointed out, there was a serious xss vulnerability in lemmy disclosed yesterday. The Lemmy team released a fix a bit ago and I've since patched infosec.pub.

Apologies for the problems (infosec.pub)

Lemmy and kbin have been... exciting to set up and debug.

There is a new version of lemmy in RC right now that should fix most of the issues we've been seeing, or at least give error messages that indicate what is going on.
