i learned to program so that i could write text-based adventure games, so i'm particularly excited about this: 50 Years of Text Games

I’m working on handling OAuth token expiry as part of #ktistec Mastodon API support. Is my understanding that Mastodon issues OAuth tokens with no expiration correct?!?

does anyone use GNU Cash? any free (software) alternatives anyone recommends?

This release is a maintenance update: a few bug fixes, a security mitigation worth paying attention to, and some performance improvements for users on slow connections.

It's worth updating to pick up the SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) mitigation.

Fixed

• Prevent SSRF when dereferencing externally supplied IRIs.
• Timeline entry no longer becomes stale when an announce is undone.
• Correctly represent boosted posts on the home timeline in API clients.

Changed

• Defer downloading of script files.
• Defer loading of image, video, and audio attachments.
• Move poll vote notification for voters into the outbox processor.

1. read this: vulnerability research is cooked
2. thought i'd try it on some code
3. found a flaw

Do I want nazis in my fediverse feed? No!

Do you know how I do that—I block them and/or their server.

Do I want to read someone's opinion on random topic xyz? No, usually not. How do I ensure that? I turn off sharing and don't follow people who post excessively about topics I'm not interested in.

What I don't do is jump into their conversation to bully and harass them about their opinions. (Even nazis? Yes, fuck them but I'm not going to waste my time.)
