I installed it in Linux and it's headed for a live environment.

Starling looks good so far.

One improvement I'd recommend is to make links visible. They are currently the same color as general text in the chat, black by default. I'd recommend blue.

The community can only read the source code, as of yet. All of the source code has been provided by a set of internal developers.

The fact that it is open source means that, if somehow two malware elements have made it into the source code, then someone will eventually report it. But this doesn't mean that two malware elements cannot be there right now.

These two malware hits on total virus scan should be communicated to the developers.

 

For NSFW images, in card mode where images are shown in full size, the default level of blur allows others to see the essence of the image. It would be nice to be able to increase the level of blur further. Perhaps three levels would be good.

Locally, an attacker still needs to know your password. A strong password can make it too expensive or impractical to brute force.

Filen.io

Works well so far, is end to end encrypted, open source, and the apps are nice and solid.

Works great for me. I'm running mx23 after running mx19 for a few years.

I hope mx23 is better with updates, or making easier to update, as updates broke in mx19 not long after I first installed it. My only complaint. Otherwise great.

N.B. This flying squid article is behind a pay wall.

This piped link did not lead me to a video.

 

In the Fediverse, what is the solution to instances or servers going missing?

To elaborate: The problem with commercial aggregators like Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook, etc. is enshitification, for one reason or another. Of course, Lemmy, etc. on the Fediverse is the alternative solution, seemingly. But let's say that the hardware for a large Lemmy instance just disappears. What happens to all of the posts? Yes, old posts will still be available for a while on other instances. But, seemingly, there won't be any more updates. How is this addressed?

Moderators would of course be interested in continuing but they may not have the skills and resources to set up the hardware.

Instances/servers can disappear for many reasons: retirement, illness, confiscation, war, bungee jumping or parachuting accident, ... the list goes on.
