@MakerTube A password reset does work to regain access (though it's a bit scary how someone can gain access to an account by intercepting an unencrypted email sent from your server, without authenticating in any way)

@MakerTube Thanks for your work keeping this instance up-to-date.

Unfortunatley, after this update, I can no longer login

It appears to be a bug with v8.0.0 :(

What's the solution for folks with long passwords to access their MakerTube accounts?

@MichaelAltfield just wanted to say thanks for mentioning that Darknet Diaries episode about Citizen Labs on the Techlore interview. Was an older episode I wasn't aware before, had heard of Citizen Labs before but didn't really know what they did.

@CliffsEsport Jack interviews folks at Citizen Lab *a lot*! See episodes:

47: Project Raven
79: Dark Basin
99: The Spy
100: NSO
137: Predator

And I also highly recommend this one. It's with EFF's Threat Lab, which does similar work to Citizen Lab

38: Dark Caracal
