A Misskey instance owner noticed a potential attacking program. They implemented an invite system for registration, thus they disabled the original built-in API. Then the owner noticed an abnormal pattern in Cloudflare log, where someone:

1. fetch /api/notes/featured to get trending posts
2. get those people's profile image (whose toot was listed in step 1's response)
3. invoke the register API 5 times in a roll

Those attackers share the same pattern across different IPs. And they noticed that they have some new users with random names and lacking proper usage patterns, and might be registered by those programs.

@freemo Although that attack is against MissKey, do we have a similar problem? Just want to let you know :)

@beckiedot 有一种「放弃救人情节，尊重他人命运」的佛系心里😂

@beckiedot 害，跟他们扯那个淡呢，爱咋咋地吧（10年网龄如是说）

真的，以前我也爱摆事实讲道理，现在别人说2+2=5我都说是对的。我用中文已经完全没什么表达欲了。

And yes, I don't change most of the default settings. So I use gnome and it looks prettier than KDE by default, although I see people configured their KDE looks much better.

About five years ago, I configured KDE and other things too. But it also locks me into my current setup, which, if they stop maintaining or make breaking changes (give my tray icons bar back, gnome), or the settings I relied on are removed, I will be doomed. (And I will never upgrade to windows 11 because I can't put the taskbar vertically on the left of my screen unless MS gives me a 16:10 monitor to compensate for the space usage).

Tried Vivaldi, the browser.

It seems like a super powerful browser with a fully customizable UI and integrated mail client, and calendar things. If I were a businessman or something, you get me, I would definitely like it because I don't need google calendar and Microsoft exchange and any other annoying things, I just need a powerful broswer.

But sadly I'm not that kind of person. I want a simple yet good enough browser where I can install the ad-blocker and call it a day. Frankly speaking, Chrome and Firefox give a pretty simple solution, which they don't offer too many options, but also not too few (I mean, safari).

Why it's so hard. I just want to browse the internet.

I would just stick with firefox for now and see what's gonna happen after mid-2023, when the manifest v2 is deprecated.

@inference I would say no for security reasons. You never know who gonna abuse those unnoticed bugs.

@inference

what?
