TIL that I've actually created a few "high impact" packages on NPM (with 1 million downloads per week)... Just got this email from them (see screenshot)
If each one of these would just pay me $0.001, I could actually comfortably dedicate myself full time to these projects (which has been my long, long dream job). But the system and social contract around open source is completely broken and so I've to balance my time and try to sustain myself and my family via other ways for periods o…
Received email spam from newly registered socialdb [dot] xyz. Some kind of escrow racket for wannabe influencers.
Looks like if they find an email associated with your Mastodon account you'lll get subscribed to their mailing list.
Platform allows you to create an account using an email without verification and set 2fa via Tor. Just saying.

Is there a realistic way for an American to get 2FA website login codes via WhatsApp or something, anything more reliable than SMS when I'm in Europe? Some sites I use have TOTP or an email option but some insist on an actual SMS. Not even sure they can do RCS and they don't seem to.
etrade 2fa wants to send a code to my phone number, sure. but.. if I click "try another way", it asks me to enter a phone number that it will send a code to? checkbox compliance, "yes we have 2fa"
@dawid@social.craftknight.comGoogle researchers found a zero‑day exploit likely developed with AI, designed to bypass 2FA.
Unusual code patterns - including hallucinated CVSS scores - gave it away.

I had 2FA setup but couldn't generate the code, or some other recovery code I was supposed to have. But I prefer your explanation.
@dawid@social.craftknight.comlost my usb key; found it in the trash. must have swept it up with other debris when I cleaned my desk. oops
now where did I put my backup key and did I add it to enough things. well, I've been pretty diligent about putting 2fa recovery codes into bitwarden (yes that puts the 2nd factor next to the 1st factor but I don't have a better answer yet)
oh, bitwarden now requires 2fa, lemme make sure I have a backup key for that
... this is such a hassle. too bad it's …
