@kiwu@twtxt.net at what price range are you looking to keep your expenses? A mobile phone camera doesn’t cut it?

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe HAHAHAHAHAH! Hell yeah!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de How sweet! :-) I find it super interesting that they’re kinda common around your area: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandersittich#Verbreitung We don’t have them here.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe there you go! What I am trying to say is, if @prologic@twtxt.net truly wants to be able to diagnose something as difficult to diagnose as ActivityPub, he ought to run his own. There is no workaround.

@bender@twtxt.net Pleroma’s got an interactive wizard, it can hardly be beaten :P

@prologic@twtxt.net I am telling you that is extremely easy: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/host-account-domain/. Now, if you are putting into account your rather… unique setup, then that’s another story.

The photo doesn’t do justice at all, it was blood red: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-11-27/

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com It’s definately been a long and fast year that’s for sure 👍 Don’t worry!

@prologic@twtxt.net is it just me or the repository is private?

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve had even requested access to it in order to give it a try and report whatever I can but, Sorry I never got to do any of it. 2025 slam dunked a massive pile of 💩 over my life (hence the disappearance, trying to avoid talking about any of it) and I’m just starting to recover (or at least trying to).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think I’ll just end up using the Official CrowdSec Go library 🤔

Speaking of WAF(s) / Web Applicaiton Firewalls – I actually had forgotten that not only have I designed a new WAF from scratch, but I’ve actually implemented it already, and done some local testing. I just haven’t put it into production yet… What od you think @aelaraji@aelaraji.com ? 🤔 https://git.mills.io/prologic/caddy-waf

@prologic@twtxt.net The periodic blacklists updates will be done automatically in the background, as for the different processing mechanisms (rules, collections of rules, remediation …etc) you just install/add the pre-made ones from the hub and call it a day, they’ll get periodic updates when needed. But you could easily create and add your own in case you want to block or white-list a specific behavior

Sometimes, (just sometimes) my ability to pattern match and remember how to play perfect games of chess is awesome 😎

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good luck! 🤞

I was having a stroll and heard this weird crackling noise. Took me a moment to realize that it’s coming from the tree above me. I looked up and didn’t see anything at first, because of the bad light. And then I saw it: About 10 parrots (alexandrine parakeets or rose-ringed parakeets) were sitting up there, heaving a feast. 😅

(Video isn’t great, because this is my smartphone and the light was bad.)

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe If you’re after a list of bad ASN(s) I have such a list handy here 😂

許可？

@prologic@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com https://http.cat/status/402

@prologic@twtxt.net I originally did that, then I git reset XD

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahhh! That would be even funnier and even more brilliant! 🤣 If you can find this, I would happily employ this tactic next time and make ‘em pay 💰 Bahahahaha 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe You would have to pull main and build from source 🤣 I promise I’ll make a new major release soon™ – Only been promising that for a while now, but it will happen this year 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah and I think I can basically pull the crowssec rules every N interval right and use this to make blocking decisions? – I’ve actually considered this part of a completely new WAF design that I just haven’t built yet (just designing it).

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember reading a blog-post where someone has been throwing redirects to some +100GB files (usually used for speed testing purposes) at a swarm of bots that has been abusing his server in order to criple them, but I can’t find it anymore. I’m pretty sure I’ve had it bookmarked somewhere.

I’m so old fashioned that this is the only pod that is behind Apache

@prologic@twtxt.net beats me, I’m currently stuck to the latest tag and it doesn’t even appear in mobile

@prologic@twtxt.net 😂HAHA, thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net The main thing that I tought of is that whomever is abusing your services must be a well known actor (by range/set of IPs) that got reported by other Crowdsec users. So to my simpleton’s understanding, your reverse-proxy/web server passes the requests by crowdsec for processing, they get banned for $N hours if the source has already been blacklisted by the community or violates any of a set of behavior base rules (and even more hours for repeat offenders); otherwise the requests/responses go as per usual. Not sure if I got things right but this might help paint a better picture of the process.

Anyone on my pod (twtxt.net) finding the new Filter(s) useful at all? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net That’s not the problem. The problem is the complex DNS setup and delegation. I’ve gotten it working once before, but it’s not that easy if you don’t intend to run it on the APEX Domain.

@prologic@twtxt.net I will share later my GoToSocial 10 lines (or less) config.yaml, and 4 lines Caddyfile, and you will see how easy it is.

@prologic@twtxt.net How so? even I (the caveman) am running one 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ll create one manually and send you the creds so you can change them as soon as you log in (my instance isn’t set up to send emails). Not sure how you could get access to logs, not even my admin account has that on the admin panel. I just snoop trough the /var/log/* when needed.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yes 👍

@prologic@twtxt.net if done right, zs derivatives can even generate twtxt feeds alongside RSS for blogs as well

Up Next:

Twtxt feed support for Kosuzu
A simpler theme for Yarn, perhaps?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk o/

@prologic@twtxt.net bookmarked (apparently I can do that)

@prologic@twtxt.net incidentally I’ve found modSecurity

@prologic@twtxt.net running Mastodon? I’d pick anything else

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m down for it

@movq@www.uninformativ.de sorry dude I think we’re getting our language confused. I think I actually meant private Internet connections.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I meant ISPs. Hm, okay. 🤔

Tired to re-enable the Ege route to git.mills.io today (after finishing work) and this is what I found 🤯 Tehse asshole/cunts are still at it !!! 🤬 – So let’s instead see if this works:

$ host git.mills.io 1.1.1.1
Using domain server:
Name: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
Aliases:

git.mills.io is an alias for fuckoff.mills.io.
fuckoff.mills.io has address 127.0.0.1

PS: Would anyone be interested if I started a massive global class action suit against companies that do this kind of abusive web crawling behavior, violate/disregards robots.txt and whatever else standards that are set in stone by the W3C? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Maybe so. But running Mastodon or GotoSocial is actually not as easy as you’d think 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net it would have been so much easy to run your own. I guess we all like to suffer every once and then, and this time is your turn. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If by that you mean ISP(s)? No. so far most are hosting providers by the looks? 🧐

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh that would be awesome!!! I’d also somehow need read access to logs so i can figure shit out on my own 🧐

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Haha! 😂 Welcome back 🙌
