relaxed running to flush the legs out a bit before bowling with some friends. both of my shoes came undone which has not happened in years to that was a bit odd.

nice to be outside running again. at about the halfway point (6 mile-ish) started walking around a ¼ mile between miles to lower HR and practice for the PTC.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think it’s your code. As you said in one of your commit comments, the internet is a hostile place! That’s partly why I reacted the way I did: all things considered it’s usually better to react quickly and clean up the mess later, then it is to wait and risk further damage. Anyway it sucks @xuu@txt.sour.is got caught up in it. Hopefully it’s all good now.
installing lix fixed my busted nix install. i installed the rpm from their website and it didn’t work so i typed curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix and was happy happy happy
my first nix flake https://git.ix.cyb.red/pkgs/msmart-ng.flake its kind of ok i guess. i’m still learning ^^

@xuu@txt.sour.is I hope everything is sorted out with your ISP. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. I sincerely did not mean to cause you any trouble.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @xuu@txt.sour.is @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “Not cool”? I was receiving many broken (HTTP 400 error) requests per second from an IP address I didn’t recognize, right after having my VPS crash because the hard drive filled up with bogus data. None of this had happened on this VPS before, so it was a new problem that I didn’t understand and I took immediate action to get it under control. Of course I reported the IP address to its abuse email. That’s a 100% normal, natural, and “cool” thing to do in such a situation. At the time I had no idea it was @xuu@txt.sour.is .
The moment I realized it was @xuu@txt.sour.is and definitely a false alarm, I emailed the ISP and told them this was a false positive and to not ban or block the IP in question because it was not abusive traffic. They haven’t yet responded but I do hope they’ve stopped taking action, and if there’s anything else I can do to certify to them that this is not abuse then I will do that.
I run numerous services on that VPS that I rely on, and I spent most of my day today cleaning up the mess all this has caused. I get that this caused @xuu@txt.sour.is a lot of stress and I’m sincerely sorry about that and am doing what I can to rectify the situation. But calling me “not cool” isn’t necessary. This was an unfortunate situation that we’re trying to make right and there’s no need for criticizing anyone.

@bender@twtxt.net haha funny! though i just realized my ISP is the only one with fiber pulled to the property so i would have to get a phone line from them some how. The other ISP in the area is basically a mobile hotspot.

We received the abuse report below regarding network abuse from the IP address indicated.
On researching I see that HTTPS (tcp 443) traffic is continuing and originating from you NAT IP address 100.64.x.x
This was further found to be originating from your firewall/router at 192.168.x.x (MAC D8:58:D7:x:x:x).
This abuse is continuing and constitues a violation of [ISP] Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service.
Please take action to identify the source of the abuse and prevent it from continuing.
Failure to stop the abuse may result in suspension or cancellation of service.Thank you,

@prologic@twtxt.net I unbanned a few IP address I had blocked before the bugfix. I wasn’t being careful and just blocked any IP I saw making a large number of requests to my pod. That slowed the problem down but I think I blocked your and @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no ’s pods in the process, oops.

@prologic@twtxt.net Have you been seeing any of my replies?
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci / @abucci@anthony.buc.ci Any interesting errors pop up in the server logs since the the flaw got fixed (unbounded receieveFile())? 🤔
This is a test. I am not seeing twts from @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no and it seems like @prologic@twtxt.net might not be seeing twts from me. Do people see this?
@prologic@twtxt.net I am not seeing twts from @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no anymore. Are you seeing twts from me?
./tools/dump_cache.sh: line 8: bat: command not found

I don’t have bat on my VPS and there is no package for installing it. Is cat a reasonable alternate?
@prologic@twtxt.net Try hitting this URL:
https://twtxt.net/external?nick=nosuchuser&uri=https://foo.com
Change nosuchuser to any phrase at all.
If you hit https://twtxt.net/external?nick=nosuchuser , you’re given an error. If you hit that URL above with the uri parameter, you can a legitimate-looking page. I think that is a bug.
@prologic@twtxt.net Hitting that URL returns a bunch of HTML even though there is no user named lovetocode999 on my pod. I think it should 404, and maybe with a delay, to discourage whatever this abuse is. Basically this can be used to DDoS a pod by forcing it to generate a hunch of HTML just by doing a bogus GET like this.
I’m seeing GETs like this over and over again:
"GET /external?nick=lovetocode999&uri=https://vuf.minagricultura.gov.co/Lists/Informacin%20Servicios%20Web/DispForm.aspx?ID=8375144 HTTP/1.1" 200 35861 17.077914ms
always to nick=lovetocode999, but with different uris. What are these calls?
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I used the following hack to keep my VPS from running out of space: watch -n 60 rm -rf /tmp/yarn-avatar-*, run in tmux so it keeps running.
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no / @abucci@anthony.buc.ci My current working theory is that there is an asshole out there that has a feed that both your pods are fetching with a multi-GB avatar URL advertised in their feed’s preamble (metadata). I’d love for you both to review this PR, and once merged, re-roll your pods and dump your respective caches and share with me using https://gist.mills.io/

Something like 100 Gbytes of this junk has accumulated since I updated and re-started the server. I’m now running the latest version of yarnd, so the update did not fix the problem. Something else is going wrong.
How are temporary files growing to 10 Gbytes in size? The name of the file is “yarn-avatar”, but why would avatars be so large?

Something really weird is going on?
@prologic@twtxt.net This is weird, but today, out of nowhere, yarnd filled up the disk on the VPS where I run it. It’s never done anything like this before and I have no idea why it would start. But it threw almost 700 Gbytes of data into /tmp in files like this:

Any idea what would cause that? And why now, after running yarnd for so long with nothing like this happening?
