Time to rebuild a ton of docker images:

If you used anything alpine based and used apk to install packages it's may compromised. You are advised to rebuild the image to fix it. If you use an image that is an intermediate image that is based on alpine linux, may wait a day until they are rebuild as well.

Using Ubuntu?

The British National Cyber Security Centre has published its guide on how to secure Ubuntu 18.04 systems.

Definitely worth reading even for non-Ubuntu users ^^

Deleting social media accounts isn't always straight forward. Getting away from attention stealing apps is the first step.

This and some more details one of the #Fedora community leaders, Justin, wrote up in his recent blog post about leaving Facebook and Instagram:

Decentralize your world.

There is of course #mastodon as federated social media.

There is good old #email as federated postbox (as long as not everyone uses GMail).

There is #peertube as a federated video platform.

There is #Riot / Matrix.org as federated group messaging.

There is #XMPP for federated 1on1 messaging.

And there is #nextcloud as federated cloud storage.

In theory most services are already federated. We only miss more users :)
