Hello to you!
It is not even a mistake, it’s some pretty mind-fucked up on part of @bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone to jump to such a conclusion. crap
I think timestamps of files would be one of the easier things, and try to track back to postings and comments that references the upload… ideally the logged-in account (which is the standard install of lemmy, only logged-in users can upload to pictrs)
Yes. odd how people think sharing CSAM is why people would post here, instead of actually tracking down and prosecuting those sharing CSAM. Details about the users who sharedl CSAM content, such as timestamps - would help identify the offenders for prosecution.
It sounds like you’re encouraging people to share CSAM images found, which is obviously not the intent of this tool.
Yes, that is in fact the context.
Context: "which is obviously not the intent of this tool. "
it is not my intent to share the images, nor is it the context of the tool… Sharing details about the users, timestamps - would be the obvious context.
I hope people share the positive hits of CSAM and see how widespread the problem is…
DRAMTIC EDIT: the records lemmy_safety_local_storage.py identifies, not the images! @bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone seems to think it “sounds like” I am ACTIVELY encouraging the spreading of child pornography images… NO! I mean audit files, such as timestamps, the account that uploaded, etc. Once you have the timestamp, the nginx logs from a lemmy server should help identify the IP address.
and avoiding link rot
Lemmy seems built to destroy information, rot links. Unlike Reddit has been for 15 years, when a person deletes their account Lemmy removes all posts and comments, creating a black hole.
Not only are the comments disappeared from the person who deleted their account, all the comments made by other users disappear on those posts and comments.
Right now, a single user just deleting one comment results in the entire branch of comment replies to just disappear.
Installing an instance was done pretty quickly… over 1000 new instances went online in June because of the Reddit API change. But once that instance goes offline, all the communities hosted there are orphaned and no cleanup code really exists to salvage any of it - because the whole system was built around deleting comments and posts - and deleting an instance is pretty much a purging of everything they ever created in the minds of the designers.
yha, what do people think the FBI is for… this isn’t crazy. They can get access to ISP logs, VPN provider logs, etc.
CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material) posts
The federal governments of several nations should be in pursuit of this, and IP addresses and specific time logs shared.
Nothing like a little bit of corporate sabotage!
The software developers who created Lemmy openly criticize systems of government and economics. These are nation-state battlegrounds too. The barrier to entrance is very low, as Lemmy doesn’t even do routine tracking of account creation, rate-limiting alone isn’t really defensive. 15 years ago sites like Reddit had major vote manipulation detection logic behind the scenes. This is pretty much unleashed playground for a lot of known tactics.
Some people seem to be interpreting this to mean 11 million comments per day. I think it means the numbers are updated daily.
The numbers also don’t make a lot of sense to me. Front page of lemmy.world says 620,000 (local origin) comments. And Lemmy sequentially numbers the comments for an instance, mixing both local and federated and the recent numbers look like 2,122,067. Lemmy.ml says 253,000 on the front page, and their index key is showing 2,321,959 for a comment made today. I have to imagine that these two servers are subscribed to a lot of stuff (including each other). I’d be surprised if there were more than 4 million unique comments in Lemmy. And there would be some kbin messages in the Lemmy.world index.
Fox allowing him hours a day of direct speech…
Once Elon Musk returns him to Twitter, we will have the “bar and grill of all the world’s journalist” for the past 15 years become a black hole of old news story history. The symbolic tactics that are under play are massive. Reality has been rejected on a massive scale via electric media… Dans un sens, c’est le système entier qui, par sa fragilité interne, prête main-forte à l’action initiale. Plus le système se concentre mondialement, ne constituant à la limite qu’un seul réseau
Trump followers can’t even see how the former mayor of NYC has lost his mind. They meet at 4 seasons gardening.
The bugs in Lemmy are such that you don’t even need to touch a server for it to be vulnerable. Cloudflare does not defend against such mistakes. Other servers can trigger deep PostgreSQL logic problems within Lemmy. Growing pains, a lot of the federation code was never tested, and today’s crash is due to a logic issue with lemmy_server mistakenly updating 1700 servers it knows of through federation for a delete instead of the 1 local server.
Most of these ‘attacks’ are targeted at the database
A major PostgreSQL performance issue, logic mistake, was discovered today in lemmy_server and is an easy fix. Details: https://lemmy.world/post/2008987
Good to see a heavy production server taking on the scaling issues. Thank you! To discuss Lemmy performance issues, there is a dedicated community: !lemmyperformance@lemmy.ml
Yes, I installed a Lemmy server my own self, there is no screening, approval, or even a “terms of use” on the signup page. This is the “wild west” of social media. And some of the claims on the GitHub project page such as “full delete” are an overreach, as it has no footnote that federated servers do not have to comply with the delete of your replicated votes/comments/posts/profile
the comment_like database table in Lemmy also has a timestamp on it, “published” field, that discloses what time you voted. This reveals patterns of your Lemmy usage to other federated servers.
When the browser loads that URL, hotlinked image, that server has to have your IP address to return the results. Just browsing posts those images are being loaded.
essentially that is what mythology has been for humanity. Too bad now we just let advertising borrow the techniques without education the population how it works.
