Il sito Doge.gov è stato hackerato (era un castello di carte neanche su server del governo)

@informatica

Il sito doge.gov, lanciato con la pretesa di monitorare i tagli di Elon Musk al governo federale per garantire trasparenza, si è rivelato essere un'accozzaglia di vulnerabilità di sicurezza. Due poveri ingenui hanno scoperto che chiunque può mettere le mani nel database del sito, tanto che un programmatore ha aggiunto voci sarcastiche che appaiono sul sito.

Partito come una pagina vuota, il sito è stato ampliato per includere post dal profilo DOGE su X e statistiche sul personale federale, ma sembra essere un progetto amatoriale su Cloudflare Pages, lontanissimo dai server governativi.

Insomma, il tanto decantato Dipartimento di Efficienza Governativa di Musk è un disastro: il database è alla mercé di chiunque abbia due dita di cervello e una connessione internet.

I complain a lot about Inkscape vs. Adobe Illustrator when it comes to print design. Do you want to do something about it? Do you want us to have nice free software tools for print?



Well Martin Owens doctormo@floss.social is making things better, he's the one working on CMYK and revamped PDF export for Inkscape. It seems like a massive endeavour, and it looks very promising!

This would open up Inkscape to a whole new sector. Inkscape is pretty good for digital work, but it lacks crucial features for print. CMYK would be a massive step in the right direction.



You can support his work on Liberapay and Patreon. Personally, I would do so, if I had an income

Un lungo panegirico per dire che le banche contano di risparmiare soldi licenziando i dipendenti; le carte di credito verosimilmente costeranno — sempre alle banche — meno, i bancomat raccoglieranno i nostri dati e cercheranno di venderci paccottiglia, magari sfruttando questi ultimi; infine forse useremo una tecnologia di autenticazione che contraddice ogni elementare principio di sicurezza.

Ciao!

Uh, did #Youtube break all the de-shittified apps again? 🙄

#Freetube showing a 403. At least #ytdlp still works.

Natanox@chaos.social known issue, they're working on it: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/6701.

winload_exe@wetdry.world I should make a correction: they did NOT open source it because their license states that you can't make money off of any forks and you are forced to adhere to the Steam Subscriber Agreement. So it is almost free software/open source, but not quite, it's more like source available. Still this is a lot better than if they kept everything behind closed doors, but I don't see anything about prohibiting re-licensing or something like that in the license itself.
