  • 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐤·​𝐩𝐮𝐩·​𝐩𝐞𝐭⁣/ˈ𝘴ɑː𝘬 ˌ𝘱ʌ𝘱.ɪ.𝘵𝘳𝘪/

    (n.) An online identity created, and used, for purposes of deception. A sockpuppet purports to be an independent party that supports, approves of, or agrees with some agent (a person, organization, agency, or state), but is in fact created and controlled by that agent, and has no independent existence. Common uses of sockpuppets include plausibly deniable hacking or information operations, provocation, and astroturfing (creation of the illusion of grassroots support).

  • Hi, Michael Altfield here. I was the sysadmin for OSE from 2017-2020.

    Everything OSE does is transparent, so you can just check the OSE websites to see what everyone is currently working-on. OSE contributors log their hours in a worklog called "OSE Dev". There you can quickly see who is working on what.

    The above graphs show 4 contributors in the past ~10 weeks (one is me; we had some issues with the apache config recently). There's no direct link, but you can then check the wiki to see people's work logs (just search for the person's name and Log):

    I also like to look at the MediaWiki "Recent Changes" page to peak at what people are up-to as well:

    I told Marcin about Lemmy back in June 2023. Another OSE contributor even created an OSE community on the slrpnk.net instance, but it appears to have been abandoned. I'll email him about this thread to see if he'll bite and publish updates in this community since there's clearly interest :)

    Also, shameless plug: I started an org that's very similar in spirit to OSE called Eco-Libre, with a focus on projects to sustainably enfranchise human rights in smaller communities. We're currently accepting volunteers ;)

    PSA: you can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude. That would be bad 😱

  • Good question :) We're not related, but similar.

    But we do plan on building and improving the documentation on some of the machines in the Open Source Ecology GVCS, yes. Namely the CEB press and the tractor.

  • You definitely can do that, but if you're afraid that you might stand-up and forget you're using it, then you probably shouldn't.

    It's probably enough to just use the default trigger that locks your screen. Or, once you get comfortable with it, set it to shut down your computer. Most people don't need to shred their FDE keys, unless they're facing torture.

    In fact, we make it difficult to use "destructive" triggers (like the LUKS Header Shredder that wipes the FDE header) and intentionally do not include the ability to switch to it in the app. To use it, you have to do a lot of extra work. So most users don't have this issue.

  • Why? It defaults to just locking your screen. So you stand-up, the magnetic breakaway cable separates, and then you just have to type your password...

    If you're the type of person that would forget to lock your computer before standing up and walking away, then it's exactly what you'd want.
