Ignite Realtime Blog: CVE-2023-32315: Openfire vulnerability (update)
A few months ago, we published details about an important security vulnerability in Openfire that is identified as CVE-2023-32315.

To summarize: Openfire’s administrative console (the Admin Console), a web-based application, was found to be vulnerable to a path traversal attack via the setup environ … ⌘ Read more

Erlang Solutions: 5 ways Elixir programming can improve business performance
Elixir is a simple, lightweight programming language that is built on top of the Erlang virtual machine. It offers straightforward syntax, impressive performance and a raft of powerful features. It uses your digital resources in the most efficient way.

This is all very well, but what does that mean in practice? Aside from impressing your web development team, what can Elixir do for your business?

here’s my old web page at Brandeis University

Coevolutionary algorithms typically explore domains in which no single evaluation function is present or known. For the purpose of selecting which individuals to maintain and vary, they instead rely on the outcomes of interactions between evolving entities.

I’ve been using variations of that same phrasing for a very long time–I wrote that web page circa 2005 maybe?

I used to be a big fan of a service called cocalc, which you could also self host. It was kind of an integrated math, data science, research, writing, and teaching platform.

I hadn’t run it in awhile, and when I checked in with it today I found their web site brags that cocalc is now “extensively integrated with ChatGPT”.

Which means I can’t use it anymore, and frankly anyone doing anything serious shouldn’t use it either. Very disappointing.

@prologic@twtxt.net I see what you mean about tldraw. I looked at their github repository and it seems like they are distributing it as an npm package for people who want to include a whiteboard in their Javascript-based frontend. I didn’t see a way to just launch the thing.

I have half a mind to write a little scala frontend that sets up one of these, since scalajs makes it very easy to use these Javascript web component things while making it look like you’re writing scala.

Paul Schaub: Creating an OpenPGP Web-of-Trust Implementation – Knitting a Net
There are two obvious operations your OpenPGP implementation needs to be capable of performing if you want to build a Web-of-Trust. First you need to be able to sign other users public keys (certificates), and second, you need to be able to verify those certifications.

The first is certainly the easier of the two tasks. In order to sign another users certificate, you simply take your own s … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s definitely a concern. I guess it’s a way to signal unequivocally that you don’t want the page indexed. If they do it anyway, they don’t really have an excuse to fall back on–they just blatantly violated your web site’s policy.

@marado@twtxt.net It can’t possibly be defensible, which to me always signals an attempt at a power grab. They never explicitly said “we will use anything we scrape from the web to train our AI” before–that’s new. There is growing pushback against that practice, with numerous legal cases winding through the legal system right now. Some day those cases will be heard and decided on by judges. So they’re trying to get out ahead of that, in my opinion, and cement their claims to this data before there’s a precedent set.

@prologic@twtxt.net They were almost certainly doing this already, but now they’re codifying it in their policies, essentially claiming ownership over everyone’s web pages.

With Youtube testing a “three strikes and you’re out” policy against people who use ad blockers, I’m also wondering whether Web 2.0 is effectively walled off and I should just give up on it entirely and look elsewhere for information and entertainment.

@prologic@twtxt.net I think those headsets were not particularly usable for things like web browsing because the resolution was too low, something like 1080p if I recall correctly. A very small screen at that resolution close to your eye is going to look grainy. You’d need 4k at least, I think, before you could realistically have text and stuff like that be zoomable and readable for low vision people. The hardware isn’t quite there yet, and the headsets that can do that kind of resolution are extremely expensive.

But yeah, even so I can imagine the metaverse wouldn’t be very helpful for low vision people as things stand today, even with higher resolution. I’ve played VR games and that was fine, but I’ve never tried to do work of any kind.

I guess where I’m coming from is that even though I’m low vision, I can work effectively on a modern OS because of the accessibility features. I also do a lot of crap like take pictures of things with my smartphone then zoom into the picture to see detail (like words on street signs) that my eyes can’t see normally. That feels very much like rudimentary augmented reality that an appropriately-designed headset could mostly automate. VR/AR/metaverse isn’t there yet, but it seems at least possible for the hardware and software to develop accessibility features that would make it workable for low vision people.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @prologic@twtxt.net @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club I love VR too, and I wonder a lot whether it can help people with accessibility challenges, like low vision.

But Meta’s approach from the beginning almost seemed like a joke? My first thought was “are they trolling us?” There’s open source metaverse software like Vircadia that looks better than Meta’s demos (avatars have legs in Vircadia, ffs) and can already do virtual co-working. Vircadia developers hold their meetings within Vircadia, and there are virtual whiteboards and walls where you can run video feeds, calendars and web browsers. What is Meta spending all that money doing, if their visuals look so weak, and their co-working affordances aren’t there?

On top of that, Meta didn’t seem to put any kind of effort into moderating the content. There are already stories of bad things happening in Horizon Worlds, like gangs forming and harassing people off of it. Imagine what that’d look like if 1 billion people were using it the way Meta says they want.

Then, there are plenty of technical challenges left, like people feeling motion sickness or disoriented after using a headset for a long period of time. I haven’t heard announcements from Meta that they’re working on these or have made any advances in these.

All around, it never sounded serious to me, despite how much money Meta seems to be throwing at it. For something with so much promise, and so many obvious challenges to attack first that Meta seems to be ignoring, what are they even doing?

There’s a link to the blog post, but they extracted a summary in hopes of keeping people in Google properties (something they’ve been called out on many times).

I was never contacted to ask if I was OK with Google extracting a summary of my blog post and sticking it on the web site. There is a very clear copyright designation at the bottom of each page, including that one. So, by putting their own brand over my text, they violated my copyright. Straightforward theft right there.

** Accessibility updates **
I’m feeling pretty chuffed! Last week I wrote about my intention to make this website more accessible. My motivations were many-fold, but, primarily, mostly shame. I’ve worked as an accessibility specialist in the past, and now spend a bunch of my days at work looking for ways to make public infrastructure online more accessible. It seemed fitting to at least make sure the little bit I contribute to the web here is also accessible.
