#Hacker gains #admin #control of #Sourcegraph and gives free access to the masses
The hacker gained administrative access by obtaining an authentication key a Sourcegraph developer accidentally included in a code published to a public Sourcegraph instance hosted on Sourcegraph.com. After creating a normal user Sourcegraph account, the hacker used the token to elevate the account privileges to those of an #administrator. The access token appeared in a pull request posted on July 14, the user account was created on August 28, and the elevation to admin occurred on August 30.
benutzt jemand die #twitter - #api und #twitteroauth? weiss jemand, ob twitteroauth mit der neuen twitter-api noch funktioniert? ich blick da nicht mehr durch, was der #musk da macht. api v1.1 ist jedenfallst seit ein paar wochen abgeschaltet.
Моторные масла API SP и ILSAC GF-6: разбираемся в новом стандарте
Спецификация моторного масла – это то, что в первую очередь указывает на его свойства. То есть масло с одной и той же вязкостью, например 5W30, и одного и того же производителя, но в разных спецификациях, может иметь кардинально отличающиеся свойства, и быть как полезным, так и вредным для мотора. Более того, масла разных спецификаций могут […]

A big hey! from diaspora*
You might have been wondering what happened to diaspora*. Well, although we’ve been a bit quiet, we haven’t gone away! In fact, some big things have been happening in the background that we’re really excited about, and now it’s come to the time for us to tell you about them.
API
The first is our API, created with a lot of the initial work done by Kent Shikama, completed by Frank Rousseau and @hankg@social.isurf.ca, and supported by core team member @jhass@diaspora.social. This was completed earlier this year, and it enables other applications to interact with the diaspora* software, giving a lot more flexibility in how it can be used, for instance in the creation of native diaspora* apps.
Account migration
One of the key features of a decentralized social network has to be the ability to move your account data from one node (we call them ‘pods’) to another. This has proved to be one of the most difficult things to accomplish properly, and consequently it has taken a long time! The back-end code to do all the hard work was completed by @senya@socializer.cc in a mammoth effort, and what remains is to create a ‘front-end’ interface so that it’s easy for anyone to access the feature via the account settings page. This is currently being worked on by new member @podmin@societas.online with support from core team members @fla@diaspora-fr.org and @supertux@nerdpol.ch. It is currently being reviewed and tested, and once this has been done we’ll be able to merge it.
Next major release
Once this has been merged, we’ll be able to release a major version containing both these features, plus a lot more. This will be a big step forward for diaspora*, and we can’t wait to bring version 0.8 to you. We would really love to release this before the end of 2021, but we must make sure all bugs in the new features are ironed out before we release them, so please be patient if we can't meet that deadline!
There is always a lot more work to do, and as members of our core team have had to prioritise other areas of their work, so development of diaspora* has slowed down. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re an open-source project, and we’re always keen to hear from prospective coders who want to help make diaspora* better. If you want to help us, get in touch! We’ll do whatever we can to support you.

Twitter Makes Big API Changes For Devs As It Eyes Decentralized Future, But Right Now It Is More About 3rd Party Clients
This has nothing yet to do with any real decentralisation (allowing other instances of Twitter hosting) but more to do with finally freeing up 3rd party access for better and more innovative client apps e.g. no or different algorithms, possibly excluding adverts, newer features, etc.
We're really waiting to see what happens with their Project Bluesky, and whether, and how, they'd be federating with other social networks.
