That would be true if their instance wasn’t federating. If the instance is federating, then it’s downloading content from other users, even if the user isn’t registered on the instance. And that content is publicly available.
So if someone discovers their content on their instance and sends them a GDPR request (eg Erasure), then they are legally required to process it.

Any FOSS platform has capacity issues. I run my own FOSS projects with zero grant funds and where I’m the only developer. I understand this issue.
What we’re talking about here is prioritization. My point is that you should not prioritize “new features” when existing features are a legal, moral, and grave financial risk to your community. And this isn’t just “my priority” – it’s clearly been shown that this is the desired priority of your community.
Please prioritize your GDPR issues.
0·8 months agoVery nice. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like Boost is available on F-Droid.
Fortunately, in my case, my image was “orphaned” and never actually attached to a post or comment, so it wouldn’t have federated.
If the image has already federated then that’s a whole next level problem :(
Unfortunately, the Lemmy devs literally said it would take years to fix this issue. If you think this should be a priority for them, please advocate for them to prioritize it on GitHub.
Hi, unfortunate author here 😅
The issue happened in Jerboa. I opened a few tickets in the Jerboa app’s GitHub to address this:
- jerboa #1361: UI for deleting uploaded files
- jerboa #1362: Setting to hide "upload media" button
- jerboa #1363: Add "confirm upload" step to UX
Can you please tell us which apps store the delete token and have a UI to delete uploaded images?
Thanks, but I’m asking because I didn’t find the reference documentation especially helpful.
It says I need the “delete token” or “alias”. How do I get that for a given URL?
I’m looking for an example that describes how to construct the commands for the API calls knowing only the URL of the image.
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.

Besides running ProxyStore in Leipzig, they have published some pretty great articles:
- Random Mosaic – Detecting unauthorized physical access with beans, lentils and colored rice
- Revealing Traces in printouts and scans
- On the security of the Linux disk encryption LUKS
You can follow them on Mastodon here https://chaos.social/@dys2p
Yes BusKill works similarly – any USB drive can use the BusKill software
The BusKill cable is just nice because it includes a magnetic breakaway, so it works when the laptop is snatched-away at any angle. There’s actually a ton of anti-forensics software like usbkill and BusKill; we enumerate them all on our documentation’s Similar Projects section
You may want to check ^ it out :)
I made a video of this (demo in Windows, MacOS, Linux, TAILS, and QubesOS) with the old DIY model here (sorry for the terrible audio quality)
We’re currently working on an updated video with someone who is much better at video production than me; it should be finished in early 2024.
0·1 year agoIt has a magnetic (de)coupler, which allows it to break away at any angle if your laptop is physically snatched away from you.
Some of our users actually use the BusKill cable with a Yubikey:
If that’s not clear, I highly recommend watching this 2-minute explainer video

Hi, Michael Altfield here. I was the sysadmin for OSE from 2017-2020.
Everything OSE does is transparent, so you can just check their websites to see what they’re 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 enfranchise human rights in smaller communities. We’re currently accepting volunteers ;)
