This is good, thanks for being transparent. It sucks when this has to happen.

Startrek.website is retaliatory defederating from dbzer0 because db0 put their friend AdmiralPatrick on blast for the Tess shenanigans and then proceeds to remove comments calling them out for it

They've been corrupt long before this whole thing.

Probably attention or an attempt at virtue signaling.

I think it's clear that he needs the fediverse more than it needs him.

I'm sure that admin is Admiral Patrick's alt. There are signs that they share the same sentiment as him. I kind of knew he wasn't going to just leave the Fediverse entirely.

I knew the story wouldn't end with him taking down his own instance. Either it was going to be brought back or he had another one.

Tesseract dev injects malicious code into browser to illegally DDOS the dbzer0 instance

Check startrek.website too. They defederated us immediately after banning someone who claimed to be an alt of Admiral Patrick. If their domain is less protected we might be able to bring him to justice over this.

Startrek.website is probably also run by Admiral Patrick, or maybe he's just someone with admin access there. Either way they seem like bad news, that site should definitely be avoided.

They definitely are. I think I saw one get banned in a thread here.

Unfortunately he may not be prosecuted. Many protestware developers aren't. The developer of Node-IPC intentionally destroyed data on many computers with Russian and Belarus location data, including supposedly a few military computers, and he's unfortunately a free man. Didn't even get banned on Github.

It just gets worse and worse. I figured that the goodbye message he posted wouldn't be the end of it. Thankfully it seems to be down now so it's not causing harm anymore directly but still.

I took a look at the content of Tesseract's filter list

Absolutely. They terminated their instance claiming the fediverse is beyond saving. They're also claiming that db0 is encouraging harassment towards him and has encouraged harassment towards others. And the worst part is I don't think this is going to be the last we'll see of them either. They've said they would quit the fediverse before and they came back afterwards.

PSA: The Tesseract frontend includes a hardcoded hidden instance blacklist with all leftist and trans-friendly instances.

I recently found out Admiral Patrick made a response to this situation where he doesn't address any of the concerns related to censoring leftists and just points to the spam he included in the list.

Here's his post:https://lemmy.world/post/49817942

It is a huge overstep on their part, and their reaction to the drama was extremely poor. Not surprising they ignored the accusations about blocking trans communities in their filterlist, as well as trying to censor leftists and leftist spaces.

I don't buy that his intention was anti-spam and I don't think we should give him the benefit of the doubt. He hid the commits knowing people would fork his repo and remove it, and also call him out big time for this if found out (what's happening now). He added spam lists for plausible deniability. So he could claim it's for anti-spam and so more charitable people would claim that as well. Not to block leftists and trans people which is what the main purpose is. As well as anyone else he doesn't like. It's structured this way so instances who use Tesseract also block these people he has a problem with without them knowing, possibly against their wishes since he put two lists in there, including one he can update on the fly, which is base64 encoded and compressed. I don't know how someone can look at this and claim he did any of it in good faith when he took the time and effort to hide it.

Unfortunately that piece of shit didn't even get fired or cast out of the open source community, let alone get sent to prison for that. And yes as an American he could get sent to prison for that because he also effected American military systems in the region.

Of course they could. They would totally ruin their credibility but they've already done that it seems. They shut off their instance and redirect it to a cartoon picture telling people to go away.

Handheld gaming consoles that support piracy?

Nah Denuvo isn't kernel level, at least not at the moment. The method used on Linux operates entirely in userland using a custom proton build and the cpuid fault instruction. On older systems that don't support cpuid faulting they do use a kernel module, but this kernel module is much simpler than the Windows HV, it only emulates cpuid faulting and doesn't do anything else.
