After catching up with a few friends I went home to shower and eat before heading back to the Panhandle.<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>In contrast to last year, last Friday I only did a short shakeout run — no evening run and staying out late with Midnight Runners. Saturday SFRC was about the same distance.<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>Similar to last year I took a bus to Van Ness, then jogged to the Civic Center station and took BART to Embarcadero.

I have been participating in and contributing to <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> groups and specifications for over 25 years.</default:p> <default:p>I am Mozilla’s Advisory Committee (<default:abbr>AC</default:abbr>) representative and previously served on the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr> for several terms, starting in 2013, with a two year break before returning in 2020. In early years I drove the movement to shift <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> to more open licenses for specifications, and more responsiveness to the needs of open source communities and independent website publishers.</default:p> <default:p>Most recently on the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr> I <default:a href="https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB/2025_Priorities#Vision">led the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr>’s Priority Project for a <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> Vision</default:a> as contributor and editor, taking it through wide review, and consensus at the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr> to a vote by the <default:abbr>AC</default:abbr> to adopt <default:a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/w3c-vision/">the Vision</default:a> as an official <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> Statement.</default:p> <default:p>Previously I also co-chaired the <default:a href="https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg"><default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> Social Web Working Group</default:a> that produced several widely interoperably deployed <default:a href="https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg#Recommendations">Social Web Standards</default:a>. Mastodon and other open source software projects built a social network on ActivityPub and other social web specs which now require maintenance from implementation experience. As such, I have participated in the Social Web Incubator Community Group and helped draft a new charter to restart the Social Web Working Group and maintain these widely adopted specifications.</default:p> <default:p>With several members stepping down, the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr> is experiencing much higher than usual turnover in this election.</default:p> <default:p>I am running for re-election to both help with continuity, on the Vision project and other efforts, and work with new and continuing Advisory Board members to build a fresh, forward looking focus for the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr>.</default:p> <default:p>I believe governance of <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr>, and advising thereof, is most effectively done by those who have the experience of actively collaborating in working groups producing interoperable specifications, and especially those who directly create on the web using <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> standards. This direct connection to the actual work of the web is essential to prioritizing the purpose & scope of governance of that work.</default:p> <default:p>Beyond effective governance, the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr> has played the more crucial role of a member-driven change agent for <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr>. While the Board and Team focus on the operations of keeping the <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> legal entity running smoothly, the <default:abbr>AB</default:abbr> has been and should continue to be where Members go to both fix problems and drive forward-looking improvements in <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> to better fulfill our Vision and Mission.</default:p> <default:p>I have Mozilla's financial support to spend my time pursuing these goals, and ask for your support to build the broad consensus required to achieve them.</default:p> <default:p>I post on my personal site <default:a href="https://tantek.com/">tantek.com</default:a>. You may follow my posts there or from Mastodon: @tantek.com@tantek.com</default:p> <default:p>If you have any questions or want to chat about the <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> Advisory Board, Values, Vision, or anything else <default:abbr>W3C</default:abbr> related, please reach out by email: tantek at mozilla.com.

entropy, randomness, even changing routines can provide a layer of defense for cybersecurity.</default:p><default:h2>More Steps for Cybersecurity</default:h2><default:p>Here are three more steps (in addition to <default:a href="https://tantek.com/2025/052/b1/steps-indieweb-cybersecurity">Three Steps for IndieWeb Cybersecurity</default:a>) that you can take to add obstacles to any would be attackers, and further secure your online presence.</default:p><default:ol><default:li><default:b>Different email address for each account</default:b>, <default:abbr title="also known as">AKA</default:abbr> <default:i>email masking</default:i>. Use or create a different email alias for each service you sign-up for. With a single email inbox, like any username at Gmail, you can often append a plus sign (+) and a brief random string. If you use your own <default:a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/indieweb" class="hashtag"> #<default:span class="p-category auto-tag">indieweb</default:span></default:a> domain for email addresses, pick a different name at that domain for each service, with a bit of entropy like a short number. Lastly, another option is to use an <default:em>email masking service</default:em> — try a web search for that phrase for options to check out. Each of these works to limit or at least slow down an attacker, because even if they gain control of one email alias or account, any “forgot password” (AKA <default:i>password reset</default:i> or <default:i>account reset</default:i>, or sometimes called <default:i>recovery</default:i>) attempts with that same email on other services won’t work, since each service only knows about an email address unique to it.</default:li><default:li><default:b>Different password for each account.</default:b> This is a well known security technique against <default:i>credential stuffing</default:i> attacks. I.e. if someone retrieves your username and password from a <default:i>data breach</default:i>, or guesses them, or tricks (<default:i>phishes</default:i>) you into entering them for one service, they may try to “stuff” those “credentials” into other services. Using different passwords for all online services you use can thwart that attack. Note however that different passwords with the same email address will <default:em>not</default:em> stop an account reset attack, which is why this tip is second to email masking.</default:li><default:li><default:b>Use a password manager to autofill.</default:b> All modern browsers and many operating systems have built-in <default:i>password managers</default:i>, most of which also offer free sync services across devices. There is also third party password manager software and third party password manager services which are designed to work across devices, browsers, and operating systems. Regardless of which option you choose, always using a password manager to autofill your login username (or email) and password can be a very effective method of reducing the chances of being <default:i>phished</default:i>. Password managers will not autofill forms on fake phishing domains that are pretending to be a legitimate service. Password managers can also help with keeping track of unique email addresses and passwords for each service. Most will also auto-generate long and random (high entropy) passwords for you.</default:li></default:ol><default:p>I’ll close with a reminder that <default:a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good">Perfect is the enemy of good</default:a>. This post has been a draft for a while so I decided to publish it as a summary, rather than continuing to iterate on it. I’m sure others have written much longer posts. Similarly, even if you cannot take all these actions immediately everywhere, you can benefit by incrementally taking some of these steps on some accounts. Prioritize important accounts and take steps to increase their security.</default:p><default:p>Previous post in this series: <default:a href="https://tantek.com/2025/052/b1/steps-indieweb-cybersecurity">CSF_01: Three Steps for IndieWeb Cybersecurity</default:a></default:p><default:h2>Glossary</default:h2><default:p>Glossary for some terms, phrases, and further reading on each.</default:p><default:dl><default:dt>credential stuffing</default:dt><default:dd><default:a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential_stuffing">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential_stuffing</default:a></default:dd><default:dt>data breach</default:dt><default:dd><default:a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_breach">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_breach</default:a></default:dd><default:dt>entropy</default:dt><default:dd><default:a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)</default:a></default:dd><default:dt>password manager</default:dt><default:dd><default:a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_manager">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_manager</default:a></default:dd><default:dt>phish, phished, phishes, phishing</default:dt><default:dd><default:a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing</default:a></default:dd></default:dl><default:p>Syndicated to: <default:a class="u-syndication" href="https://news.indieweb.org/en">IndieNews</default:a></default:p></default:div> </default:div> </content> <default1:object-type xmlns="http://activitystrea.ms/spec/1.0/">article</default1:object-type> </entry> <entry xmlns:default="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:default1="http://activitystrea.ms/spec/1.0/"> <updated>2025-04-30T18:03:00-07:00</updated> <published>2025-04-30T18:03:00-07:00</published> <link href="https://tantek.com/2025/120/t1/indieweb-movie-club-tomorrowland" rel="alternate" title="" type="text/html"/> <id>https://tantek.com/2025/120/t1/indieweb-movie-club-tomorrowland</id> <title type="xhtml"> <default:div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="if-your-feed-reader-displays-this-then-it-is-violating-the-Atom-spec-RFC-4287-section-4.2.14"/> </title> <content type="xhtml" xml:base="https://tantek.com/" xml:space="preserve"> <default:div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:space="preserve">Welcome to the May 2025 edition of IndieWeb Movie Club!<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>As your host for this month^1, I invite you to (re)watch the film “Tomorrowland” (<default:a class="auto-link" href="https://movies.disney.com/tomorrowland">https://movies.disney.com/tomorrowland</default:a>), with an optional prequel book reading assignment!<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>“Before Tomorrowland” (<default:a class="auto-link" href="https://books.disney.com/book/before-tomorrowland/">https://books.disney.com/book/before-tomorrowland/</default:a>) was released about a month before the film, so it’s fine to read before watching.<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>#<default:span class="p-category auto-tag">Tomorrowland</default:span> is available in various physical media formats, and via streaming on DisneyPlus^2. 130 minutes, rated PG.<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>This month is the 10th anniversary of Tomorrowland’s release.<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>The world was quite different in 2015.<default:br class="auto-break"/><default:br class="auto-break"/>I had my own impressions of Tomorrowland when I first heard about it and then watched it much later (which I won’t link to yet to avoid spoilers or biasing your opinions).
