Thanks

I’ve been in the business for about 25 years. I have a hard time recommending people jump in at this point, or at least to understand the market now. While there is constant talk of “unfilled cyber jobs”, the reality is that many people with experience are struggling to find a job in the field.

If you can get in and find a stable spot at a good company, it’s a great career, but those are getting hard to find I fear. Anyhow, please do a bit of reading about the job market for cyber security before making a decision.

It really is great and we’re very lucky to have the mbin team that we do. I sincerely appreciate them, as should everyone on fedia.io and the other mbin instances.

I’ve had quite a lot of experience in interacting with the mbin team and I can definitely say they are kind and compassionate people who have a passion for this project and have shown nothing but helpfulness and grace to me and many other people.

ok - there was a problem with the mbin queues on fedia - I think that may have caused the problem with registrations. Can you give it another shot? Also, if that doesn’t work for whatever reason, please shoot me an email to jerry@infosec.exchange so I can debug the issue.

I’ll check

Mbin has some rough edges still but I like the interface much better than lemmy (I also run a lemmy instance so feel ok comparing them)

I activated your account. I will figure out email when I get back home in about 90 minutes.

Can you shoot me an email at jerry@infosec.exchange and I’ll track it down for you? My apologies for the trouble.

I’m not surprised about friendica. I will ask the mbin developers to take a look. I will also take a look at lemmy - I know federation works with lemmy.world - I get enough reports about their users here to know that for sure :) I just don’t know how mentions are handled.

If I can help with your tests in some way, let me know. I manage most types of fediverse software including Fedia.io, though I’ve not yet tried piefed. I think your question is prompting me to give it a try.

I fixed it a few hours ago, but it takes a while to catch up.

There’s a reason for that. About a year ago, Reddit started to implode. I set up Infosec.pub and Fedia to give people an alternative. There was a huge influx of people here creating all sorts of magazines, the same that you would see on Reddit. Fedia ran kbin at the time and it had all manner of problems, and over time people sort of wandered away. Either because they were tired of the problems or because they went back to Reddit.

In any event, what we see in the local magazines is the remnants of that initial migration. I really need to go and clean them up.

Now that Fedia is on mbin, things are much better. We still have issues now and then, but generally things work well.

I run fedia.io. I also run Infosec.pub. Which is lemmy so I know a lot about both. Lemmy is much more robust, but I personally find the interface for Mbin much nicer and the development of it seems to be headed in a direction I like better than that of lemmy. At least for now.

I started shaving my head when my hair started thinning in my early 30’s. That was 25 years ago. I used to love my hair, but now I would not go back to having hair if I had the option. It took a few weeks to get used to for me.

lemmy.froztbyte.dev is/was sending malformed messages that caused this the queue runners to crap out. The others were for persistent harassment of one of our trans members.

I was mistaken - lemmynsfw isn’t bblocked. There are only 3 blocked: lemmy.one, lemmy.today, lemmy.froztbyte.dev. Are you proposing that lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear get the block?

ok - I was able to find and fix the problem. it should work now.

Ok, I checked and creating new oauth clients is not restricted to administrators. I am trying to find a way to run interstellar so I can test and figure out what is wrong.

Is there a port of interstellar to Linux or Windows? Unfortunately I don’t have any android devices to test with.

Edit: never mind. I found them
