This form of email verification, much like /biz/'s modified email verification, requires the user to wait 15 minutes to post, or verify their email. At least there's a way to skip having to wait 300 seconds (if a thread) or 60 seconds (if a reply), but I tried verifying with protonmail and it took nearly a minute to send the email.

The Internet Archive apparently suffered from a data breach :marseykey:

Orange site reacts

Quote from the article

Hunt told BleepingComputer that the threat actor shared the Internet Archive's authentication database nine days ago and it is a 6.4GB SQL file named "ia_users.sql." The database contains authentication information for registered members, including their email addresses, screen names, password change timestamps, Bcrypt-hashed passwords, and other internal data.

The hackers added a message saying "See 31 million of you on HIBP!" (Have I Been Pwned)

Another tweet

Archive.org is temporarily offline. It was also suffering from a DDOS attack. The Internet Archive made a statement about the DDOS attack but not the hack.

Yesterday's DDOS attack on @internetarchive repeated today. We are working to bring archive.org back online.

https://nitter.poast.org/Sn_darkmeta/status/1844080692772401399#m

The BlackMeta hacktivist group claimed to be behind the DDOS attack because the US supported Israel :marseyconfused:

They are under attack because the archive belongs to the USA, and as we all know, this horrendous and hypocritical government supports the genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of "Israel".


Update (02:18 UTC): It's back online. Update tweet is below.

https://nitter.poast.org/brewster_kahle/status/1844183111514603812#m

What we know: DDOS attack–fended off for now; defacement of our website via JS library; breach of usernames/email/salted-encrypted passwords.

What we've done: Disabled the JS library, scrubbing systems, upgrading security.

Will share more as we know it.


Edit 2: Screenshot of a deleted tweet by BlackMeta

The Internet Archive is also down again. More update tweets:

https://nitter.poast.org/brewster_kahle/status/1844326137499177312#m (October 10, 10:36 UTC)

Sorry, but DDOS folks are back and knocked archive.org and openlibrary.org offline.

@internetarchive is being cautious and prioritizing keeping data safe at the expense of service availability.

Will share more as we know it.

https://nitter.poast.org/brewster_kahle/status/1844485102312751421#m (October 10, 21:08 UTC)

Update: @internetarchive's data has not been corrupted. Services are currently stopped to upgrade internal systems.

We are working to restore services as quickly and safely as possible.

Sorry for this disruption.

Zoom reinvents e-mail but with way more steps and far less efficient

To create a digital avatar, you'll need to record an initial video of yourself that Zoom's AI will use to make an avatar that looks — and even sounds — like you. From there, you can write the message you want your AI avatar to say and then have it do all the talking for you. This feature will only work with Zoom's Clips feature, allowing you to record brief video updates for your colleagues.

The custom AI avatars are rolling out early next year as part of Zoom's custom AI Companion add-on, which will cost an extra $12 per month.

You know that HR losers and middle managers who need to fill their day by looking productive are going to love this shit. :marseycoffee#:

Chrome Canary just killed uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2 extensions : technology

					
					

tldr: Chrome Canary is the beta (lol) channel for Chrome. Google has been working on a trans(lol)ition toManifest v3 for a while, effectivly killing off many ad blockers or knee capping them severaly (like in IOS and Safari on MacOS). Well they flag to keep v2 (uBlock) enable has been taken away because papa Google knows best.

The removal of a custom settings flag previously used to enable deprecated Manifest V2 extensions (like most popular ad blockers) has begun turning out the lights on the user-friendly Chrome party

When the option to enable v2 gets removed from the normie channel is anyone's guess butt the c*m is on the wall at this point. uBlock has a lite version which isn't as good. I can tell you from exp using Safari on desktop that that kind of adblocker just sucks all around.

Also FurryFox is doing something similar so lmao :marseylaughpoundfist:

Get Brave

I would argue that if you want to be free from advertising, perhaps using a web browser created and distributed by the world's biggest advertising company Is not the wisest strategy.

China backdoored the US :marseyglow: mandated ISP backdoors

This ought to be on the front page. It's huge, and a practical proof of the risks of giving the quote-unquote good guys the keys to our encryption.

This is a follow up to this story where they report Chinese hackers are targeting ISPs but don't say how: https://archive.is/RqwMQ

Boycat is an adorable but serious mobile app and Chrome extension, used to scan products to determine whether they are under boycott.

Newscord is an app that uses artificial intelligence to analyze and expose the bias between different media sources to help people learn what is really happening and to develop critical reading skills.

We also have a bunch of exciting earlier-stage projects - I'm not supposed to have favorites so I'll just say that these are interesting:

Apricot - A non-profit tech studio and placement service dedicated to connecting US companies with highly skilled Palestinian Tech Talent, with amazing english, a convenient time zone, and a great price. Apricot can help you hire amazing engineers and tech workers remotely, or consult to run projects for you.

Find-a-Protest - Find protests near you easily, with a search engine that lists pro-Palestine protests near you.

Ethics.vc - The Institute of Ethical Venture Capital rates VC firms for complicity in crimes against humanity, an area where they are surprisingly active. These ratings can inform investors into VC funds, such as university endowments, pension funds, and can be especially useful for stakeholders who wish to hold them accountable.

Pal-Chat- Imagine ChatGPT that's not biased against Palestine! Pal-chat is a chatbot that is trained on accurate information about the history and present state of Palestine, including international treaties, important studies and research, that is specifically aimed at helping activists quickly research and respond to questions about Palestine. It even provides references!

A new and exciting project is Jaywalk, described as "Waze for protests". With Jaywalk, it becomes easy for advocates to share information about locations, dangers, aid services, and other dynamic needs protesters have in the field.
