Request: Update Saidit.net Canary

submitted by Drewski from self.SaidIt

The last Saidit canary was January 11, 2022: https://saidit.net/s/SaiditCanary/comments/8s5o/saiditnet_canary_23/ which was 1 year, 8 months, and 29 days ago.

Also, I still think it would be a good idea to sign these updates with a PGP key.

The canary expired so even if I posted it, I'm not sure it means anything anymore, because as originally intended the one-time switch has been permanently flipped, so to speak.

But the site hasn't been compromised any more than what you can see in the comments and posts here every day. The compromising is occurring at the user post and comment level, not at the admin level, which saidit has been careful to avoid.

What do u mean expired? What happened? Did I miss something?

The setup was that he makes a new post every month to confirm the site hasn't been compromised. At one point, he stopped posting it consistently. The specification was that if it doesn't get updated in a few months, we should assume the website to be compromised. A new post that's way overdue doesn't address the concern to begin with.

So was the site compromised or not?

I don't think so, no.

Could you just explain why you stopped updating it in the first place?

I guess it would be safe to assume the site has been compromised.

/u/magnora7 not sure if mentions in the OP have ever been fixed so I'm doing it here.
