And if you don't want to read about sex, that's fine, as my next blogpost is probably about hardware-based SSH hardening.
@neil why not both

@neil why not both
Because I absolutely refuse to write:
"Neil teased the port with his dongle. But at least it was USB-C. With USB-A, there was always the fear of slotting it in incorrectly, often two or three times.
Worse still, the moment when he - acting out of eagerness - accidentally put it straight into the ethernet socket. It fitted, but was not what was planned."

"Sex and the Fedi"
@neil
Oh shoot, I didn't know you were asking why. A lot of my mutuals are sex repulsed and I wanted them to feel comfortable following me, so I keep sex to a minimum. Also a lot of porn on here is humans, and my mutuals are furries.Also, I'm only attracted to fat people, so my like means "thanks for sharing", a boost means "this did something for me." Fediverse sex workers don't seem to promote other sex workers unless they're a specific, over represented, body type. The people I like are still all on Instagram because there's not enough solidarity here for fat sex workers.

@neil and yet, you’ve just written exactly that… whoops. 😂

@neil that's a good post, a very nice summary of the things people mentioned in your thread.
For my part, even though I'm in the just for fun category, I thank you for raising this. for getting people involved and for provoking thought.
I wonder how much desensitisation plays into it too. Sex bloggers at the top of their game are tooting about their blog many times a week, and I imagine a lot of people just switch off.

Bravo for being so considerate! That is genuinely a lovely trait to have.

@neil adding to that, a lot of instances limit federation with other instances that have nude & lewd content on their public timeline. So this also smallers the reach of accounts at these instances. Also people on other sites get less boosts on nude & lewd content because they can’t post it on the global timeline.

My personal take on this is that, if someone really only toots here to link to their blog / sales content, and doesn't chat / engage / form part of the community, then that is absolutely their prerogative, and yes, people need to do what makes sense to them to make money, but I am unlikely to follow them or engage if it is essentially just non-stop advertising / promotion.

That said, I also worry about boosting some people's stuff, not because of the content, but because some sites are not well set up to handle the load of a lot of hits from fedi servers in a short period of time, and I don't want to knock over someone's personal blog accidentally!

Aside: sometimes I get worried about following someone, particularly if I post (kind! welcoming!) replies etc., but there is no interaction / response.
At that point, my "worrying about not wanting to be *that* unwanted man on the Internet" kicks in, so I tend to step back, and either or both not reply again, or unfollow.
And then I don't see their stuff, which means I can't promote it / engage with it etc., even if they actually welcomed it but just didn't want to engage.
*sigh*

I guess that I could just wait until someone asks me, or blocks me, but I'd prefer not to be That Man.
Plus, a lot of smaller, especially WordPress-based, blogs, with too many resources per page, are not set up to handle a lot of fedi server traffic coming within a short period of time.
And I don't want to DDoS someone's personal blog, especially if they don't really want me to boost it anyway!

For ssh? Or FIDO2/TOTP?
@neil I've used Yubikeys (and Nitrokeys) for a while with OpenBSD + ssh + browser login.
However, at work we are a Windows shop, so FIDO2/WebAuthn.

@neil That bit about Fedi folks not wanting to boost/post sexual content because they're worried about being reported/blocked is a whole thing. A good chunk of the reports we handle are people complaining about CWed & sensitive-media-flagged nudes.

@holsta I am fighting with *-sk ssh keys and Android at the moment. I am not winning :(

@neil I'm on your side! What's the issue?

@neil I'm on your side! What's the issue?
@holsta I've yet to find a Free software Android terminal client which supports using *-sk (resident or non-resident) certificates for cert-based ssh.
I think that the answer is, quite simply, that there is none.
