The doge[.]gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”

Doge[.]gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.

I used ChatGPT to make a short list of major world events that have occurred since the decade I was born. The list is obviously incomplete (there's so much happening right now), but it paints a pretty decent picture of how fucked this world has been.

Also worth noting that DeepSeek stopped at 1989, cleared the list, and said, "Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." Imagine that.

•	1980 – Mount St. Helens erupts in the U.S.
•	1981 – Assassination attempt on U.S. President Ronald Reagan
•	1982 – Falklands War between the UK and Argentina
•	1983 – U.S. invasion of Grenada

Finally got around to setting up a local Jellyfin server, then setup Tailscale to access it remotely while I'm out.

Setup was super easy — way easier than I anticipated — including the basic setup of Tailscale.

All those poor idiots who voted for these people are being duped by the very people that they trust. You love to see it.

Edit: This isn't a complaint; just an observation.

Totally random thought, but I see so many people wandering around down voting regular posts that are pretty benign. I also see this a lot on another message board that I'm on.

Disagreeing with people is totally fine, and down voting them as a form of disagreeing makes total sense. But with the nature of some of the posts, down voting just seems completely pointless, so I'm wondering if it's just trolls going around being negative. 

I'm going to preemptively down vote this post. 

More than 2,000 datasets have disappeared from data.gov since Trump was inaugurated. But analyzing exactly what happened and where it went is going to take some time.

Trump acting like his Austrian-born idol. God, I hate this timeline.

I don't expect this community to actually go anywhere, since it's basically a repository for random stuff I find interesting.

But! In the unlikely event that it picks up, please be cool to each other.

Almost every strain I smoke gives me the munchies, hardcore. Does anyone have any tips to curb them?

I got this wonderful little monster from a shelter 6 years ago.

She was a crazy, unruly spazz as a puppy. She pooped inside one of my shoes once. Destroyed a recliner (it was barely recognizable as a chair when she finished).

But I can honestly say that she’s the best damned dog I’ve ever had. When I tell her “I love you,” she barks three times, every time.

Anyway, that’s it. That’s the post.

I’m currently using Memmy for Lemmy, Mammoth and Ice Cubes for Mastodon, and the official Pixelfed beta.

Also using Insporation* for Diaspora, but I wonder if the devs have abandoned it. Wish there was a dedicated Friendica app as well.

What are you guys using primarily? I wouldn’t mind branching out a bit.
