Postboxes Version 1.1
The Postbox and Zen Postbox add-ons have been updated with a bunch of new styles!
* Solid Colors renamed to match HTML color names
* 24 new solid colors added
* 5 new gradient backgrounds added
* 17 new pattern backgrounds added
* 11 animated backgrounds added
* Fixed the load order so it overrides Postbox styles in Bookface if present
The previous solid color names have been mapped to the new ones, so any existing Postboxes in your feed using the old names will still look good.
The gradient backgrounds were ones that got missed from the initial release and are similar to the ones Facebook used to offer.
The pattern backgrounds all use pure CSS, no images, so they will render fast and do not incur an additional resource load from the server.
The animated backgrounds are exclusively available on servers that use either of the two add-ons. None of the animated styles are included in the Bookface scheme because some of them use SVG images. They use pure CSS animation as well, no JS code or animated GIF images.
Notice how I said the gradients were similar to the ones Facebook used to offer? Shortly after I introduced Postboxes to Friendica the backgrounds on Facebook were coincidentally(?) completely overhauled. IMO Friendica now has a nicer selection anyway and even Facebook doesn’t offer animated post backgrounds.

Emilio Vedova. Questa è pittura | Fondazione Vedova
La potenza del gesto e del segno della pittura di Emilio Vedova (Venezia, 1919-2006) sono al centro della mostra Questa è pittura allestita al Forte di Bard, dal 30 novembre 2024 al 2 giugno 2025. Il progetto, curato da Gabriella Belli, vuole presentare l’opera di Vedova nella sua valenza pittorica, sfuggendo da ogni tentazione di lettura dettagliatamente storica o socio-politica, per indirizzare lo sguardo verso l’eccellenza della sua pittura, che sempre stupisce per la folgorazione del colore e la vitalità della sua materia, espressione tra le più alte dell’informale europeo.

Bookface Version 1.7 Release
These are the changes and fixes in this release:
* Restyled “New Message” button to make it more obvious.
* Fixed Profile Pics and Cover Photos not working in old iOS browsers
* Moved Postbox styles to the end of the stylesheet
* Minified Postbox CSS.
* Restyled Item Responses
* Action Buttons you’ve interacted with before now adopt accent color.
* Fix for disabled Action Buttons to make it clear they are disabled.
* Fixed issue with slow-loading secondary toolbar in Safari
* Updated with Postbox version 1.1 styles
— names of solid colors now match HTML color names
— 24 new solid colors
— 5 new gradient backgrounds
— 17 new pattern backgrounds
Some of these will be fairly obvious. The big one is that the Action Buttons below posts and comments used to change to the accent color on hover and there was no indicator if you’d previously interacted with any of them. NOW they have a slight shift in darkness/lightness on hover and the accent color indicates you’ve previously clicked the Like, Dislike, Share, or Event buttons (the exceptions being Comment or Quote). If a post's scope is limited (not public) the "Share" and "Quote" buttons are now obviously disabled by being faded out.
Engagement Counts also now show an icon indicating the type of engagement, which should make it easier to see what kind of engagement a post or comment is getting. And if there are 2+ the individuals are revealed in a pop-over box rather than pushing the entire layout down.
The new Postbox pattern backgrounds are done with pure CSS, no images! So they’ll load and display fast and don’t incur additional server calls. Postboxes are just a nice looking way to dress up your text-only posts. Of course only Friendica users will see them, and only if they are using the Bookface scheme or their instance has installed one of the Postbox add-ons. The styling doesn’t transfer to other platforms (Note: there are still issues with Postbox posts shared to Diaspora and Hubzilla).
Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback, reported issues, and tested things for me to help improve Bookface for everyone. 😁

The second panel depicts a person waking up in bed with the text "Waking up to a new day." The third panel shows the person sitting at a table with a steaming cup of coffee, labeled "A warm cup o' Joe." The fourth panel shows the person walking outside with the text "A pleasant walk outside." The fifth panel humorously illustrates the internet as a group of menacing figures with pitchforks, labeled "The internet." The final panel features a pig and a mouse at a table, with the pig saying, "So that's where my day goes wrong," and the mouse responding, "They're called phones, but they're really just portals to darkness." The comic strip humorously depicts the transition from a pleasant morning routine to the overwhelming nature of the internet.

The image is a four-panel meme featuring a man with gray hair and a beard, wearing a black sleeveless shirt and a black cap. The first panel shows him sitting at a desk, asking, "what is 'toxic masculinity'?" The second panel depicts him listening to a response, which reads, "societal norms that stifle male emotional expression outside of anger and violence, thus cultivating future violence." In the third panel, he is seen asking, "CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE???" The final panel shows him dramatically swinging an object, with the text "SHIT LIKE THIS!" and concluding with "thank you I understand now." The meme humorously illustrates the concept of toxic masculinity by showing the man's reaction to the explanation.

Very well made video Dima!
I did not understand the "solution" part. There was a guy who was planting a crop with all of the other plants, so no herbicides. But how can you harvest that on a big scale? Also how about invasive species when you dont control for that?
Also wouldnt it be better instead of 3D printing that thing for bees, with plastic, to use wood?
Great job overall!

Machine1337: Il threat actor che rivendica l’accesso a 4 milioni di account Microsoft 365
Un nuovo nome sta guadagnando rapidamente visibilità nei meandri del cybercrime underground: Machine1337, un attore malevolo attivo sul noto forum XSS[.]is, dove ha pubblicato una serie impressionante di presunte violazioni di dati ai danni di colossi tecnologici e piattaforme popolari, tra cui Microsoft, TikTok, Huawei, Steam, Temu, 888.es e altri ancora.
Il post shock: 4 milioni di account Office 365
Tra le inserzioni più eclatanti figura una pubblicazione che afferma di essere in possesso di 4 milioni di credenziali Microsoft Office 365 e Microsoft 365, vendute al prezzo di 5000 dollari. Nel post viene anche fornito un link per scaricare un campione da 1.000 record, una prassi comune nei mercati underground per “dimostrare” la genuinità del materiale in vendita. L’attore fornisce un contatto Telegram diretto e rimanda al suo canale ufficiale @Machine******. Il post è accompagnato da un’immagine che mostra il logo di Microsoft e frasi promozionali come:
🔥 DAILY LIVE SALES 🔥
📌 Premium Real-Time Phone Numbers for Sale
good luck! 🚀
Una retorica che mescola ironia, branding e un tono apparentemente professionale, tipico degli attori che cercano di affermarsi come “venditori affidabili” nel dark web.
Una raffica di violazioni: da TikTok a Huawei
Nelle ore successive alla pubblicazione dell’annuncio Microsoft, Machine1337 ha pubblicato altri post che dichiarano la compromissione di:
- Huawei – 129 milioni di record
- TikTok – 105 milioni di record
- Steam – 89 milioni di account, postato più volte con aggiornamenti
- Temu – 17 milioni di record
- 888.es – 13 milioni di record
Queste presunte violazioni sembrano essere parte di un’offensiva coordinata per dimostrare la “potenza” del threat actor e attrarre acquirenti nei suoi canali Telegram.
Identità e contatti: l’ecosistema Telegram
Machine1337 si presenta come un attore organizzato. Sul suo canale Telegram, pubblica anche un avviso importante per evitare impersonificazioni:
“Il mio unico contatto ufficiale è: @Energy************
Canale ufficiale: @Machine************
Fate attenzione ai fake. Non sono responsabile per problemi con impostori.”
In un altro messaggio consiglia di visitare un altro canale afferente ad un’altra community underground dove, secondo le sue parole, “real shit goes down there.”
Possibili implicazioni e autenticità
Sebbene la quantità di dati rivendicati sia impressionante, non è possibile confermare al 100% l’autenticità di ogni dump pubblicato, almeno fino a quando non emergono conferme da parte delle aziende coinvolte o da analisi indipendenti OSINT/DFIR.
Tuttavia, la mole e la frequenza degli annunci di Machine1337 suggeriscono o una reale disponibilità di fonti compromesse (es. broker di accesso iniziale, botnet di infostealer) o una manovra di disinformazione e marketing aggressivo per ottenere fondi da utenti del forum XSS.
Il 13 maggio è stato ufficialmente creato il canale Telegram Machine1337, punto centrale della comunicazione del threat actor omonimo. Nel messaggio di benvenuto, l’utente si presenta come Red Teamer, Penetration Tester e Offensive Security Researcher, specificando di essere attualmente impegnato nello studio dell’API Testing e dell’analisi di malware. Il tono è quello di un professionista della sicurezza informatica che si muove però su un doppio binario: da un lato competenze legittime, dall’altro attività chiaramente legate al cybercrime.
Nel canale vengono anche menzionate l’intenzione di collaborare a progetti open source e una sezione “Visitor Count”, in cui probabilmente si monitora l’attività degli utenti. Il canale stesso è legato a un gruppo di discussione (accessibile solo tramite richiesta) e offre una sottoscrizione a pagamento, presumibilmente per accedere ai contenuti premium o ai database completi.
La presenza su Telegram conferma ancora una volta come questo strumento sia uno degli hub preferiti dai threat actor per diffondere i propri contenuti e stabilire un canale diretto con potenziali acquirenti.
Conclusione
Machine1337 si inserisce in una nuova generazione di threat actors che non solo monetizzano i dati rubati, ma costruiscono vere e proprie strategie di branding e marketing per affermarsi nei circuiti del cybercrime.
Con vendite quotidiane pubblicizzate, dump multipli e una presenza su Telegram molto attiva, sarà fondamentale tenere sotto osservazione questa figura nei prossimi mesi.
L'articolo Machine1337: Il threat actor che rivendica l’accesso a 4 milioni di account Microsoft 365 proviene da il blog della sicurezza informatica.

They are coded to stop animating when you hover or touch them, adopting a default appearance. I did it that way because "animation-play-state" is still a bit unreliable and I liked the idea of them having a "poster" state rather than just pausing at where ever they were in the animation loop.
