Need to setup Automated backup (to s3) for this Akkoma Instance. How do you do it?

#akkoma #pleroma #sysadmin #mastodon #fediverse #fediadmin #mastoadmin

I had a dream about Sidekiq queues last night. I've really lost it.

#MastoAdmin

Nice quality of life improvement added to the latest #Mastodon code: account cards on hover!

A perfect companion to the upcoming grouped notifications 😃

We need to tune the behaviour a bit, but I am already missing them when using another instance.

All of this will be in 4.3, which we plan to release soon!

#mastodev #mastoadmin

I wrote a little Python script that downloads domain blocks from a specified Mastodon server and saves them as a CSV file that can be imported to your own server. In case this is something you need.

I love when Fediverse scrapers get Fediblocked MULTIPLE times then start making new instances under obscure domain names to hide their data stealing...🤬

Awakari created a new instance on Indy.rest on June 24. 4 days after I called for Fediblock on their other attempt at ban evasion (awakari.app)

Indy.rest seems to be down at the moment. However, given their track record, this is a required block if you value your data not being sold.

Has this been fixed since the article came out in December?

Former Truth Social developer behind Soapbox and Rebased has come up with a sneaky workaround to how Authorized Fetch functions: if your domain is blocked for a fetch, just sign it with a different domain name instead, using an A record that points back to the receiving instance. #MastoAdmin

Authorized Fetch Circumvented by Alt-Right Developers

We've criticized the security and privacy mechanisms of Mastodon in the past, but this new development should be eye-opening. Alex Gleason, the former Truth Social developer behind Soapbox and Rebased

@jan I think, funnily enough, that this is Facebook following ActivityPub more closely than Mastodon - specifically the parts around Inbox Forwarding, which Mastodon doesn't do.

It's the reason people invent things like #FediFetcher

#MastoAdmin #Fediverse #ActivityPub

2a03:2880:3ff::face:b00c - - [25/Jun/2024:11:45:09 +0000] "POST /inbox HTTP/1.1" 202 5 "-" "facebookexternalua"

My logs are actually rammed with entries like the above. It's not a helpful UA, so what is it doing? Being a POST I'm pretty certain it's not crawling but I'm also not following all that many (if any in fact) Threads users?

#MastoAdmin #Fediverse #SelfHost

I put a Limit block on zirk.us because myself and a few of my users have been getting follows and DMs from suspicious and pretty obvious spam accounts on that instance. This has been happening for quite some time now.

Dites les #MastoAdmin, quelqu'un a déjà testé de basculer sur glitch-soc ? Des soucis particuliers ?
