@therealprologic Okay so the mention translation is. busted and umm the threading is busted. But other than that, so far so good 😊

Oh my god! 🤣 It works! 🥳 My first Twt into the Fediverse (stil some improvements to be made of course), but still 😳 Wow! 🤩

@aelaraji Thanks for the account! I figured out one thing at least so far, my WAF was blocking some of the AP requests. Fixed that. Anyway, holiday time 🤣 Back in ~2 weeks.

I'm kind of tired of late of telling support folks, for example, ym registrar, how to do their fucking goddamn jobs 🤦‍♂️

Hi James,

Thank you for your patience.

There are several reasons why a .au domain registration might fail or be cancelled, including inaccurate registrant information, ineligibility for a .au domain licence, or issues related to Australian law.

For a full list of possible reasons, please see this article: https://support.onlydomains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/6415278890141-Why-has-my-au-domain-registration-been-cancelled

If you believe none of these reasons apply to your case, please let us know so we can investigate further.

Best regards,

Yes, so tell me support person, why the fuck did it fail?! 🤬

Good to see so many folks starting to come back to our little non-social social ecosystem 👌 Good to also see twtxt.net starting to peer with 7 other pods in the greater network too! 🥳

Sooooo looking forward to my holiday, after this week of work 🤯 16 day holiday in Vietnam! Whoohoo 🤟

@shinyoukai I don't even know how to fix that 🤣 Do you? 🤔

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

Of course, he could forget all about it, and be happier anyway. 🤣

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

@prologic 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.

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

Ahh sorry about that! It's public now!

@aelaraji 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 ? 🤔 https://git.mills.io/prologic/caddy-waf

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

@aelaraji Good luck! 🤞

@shinyoukai If you're after a list of bad ASN(s) I have such a list handy here 😂

@aelaraji 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 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 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).

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

@bender 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.

So blackholing my Gitea instance's DNS for the day seemed to have worked 🤣 (if only I had a real target I could have made their fucking crawlers DDoS themselves 😂) -- Let's also see if enabling DDoS proection on the Edge via Vultr's DDoS capability also helps? 🤔

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

@shinyoukai Yes 👍

@movq sorry dude I think we're getting our language confused. I think I actually meant private Internet connections.

Something I caught myself saying earlier in the day:

As a human species we need to stop doing stupid shit™.

--James Mills

T-shirt coming soon™

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 Maybe so. But running Mastodon or GotoSocial is actually not as easy as you'd think 😂

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

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

@aelaraji Haha! 😂 Welcome back 🙌

@aelaraji Tell me more? How does this work?

Oh fuck me! I had basically turned off the route to git.mills.io last night and went ot bed at ~2AM after unsuccessfully trying to control the attacks (bad bots) that were behaving like a DDoS attack. Tried to re-enable the route this monring and *BOOM, they're back! As-if they never stopped?! what da actual fuq?! Anyone have any clever ideas of what I can do here to allows normal users, like you nice folk and block ths obnoxious traffic?!

@zvava I am waiting for that v1, so that I can start using it. 🙏🏻

Fark me again with the bots. This time DDoS-style crawling from hundreds of IPs and dozens of ASN(s) wtf?! I've had to disale the Ingress to my Git instance for the time being, i need to sleep and I can't fight this :/

@bender Just a donations thiny I knew about from years ago that I never setup properly. Now an acceptable form of donation on my prologic.dev site 👌 (if anyone ever does that is!)

@prologic what’s that?

Bye bye PayPal 👋 Hello LibrePay 👋

When I try to login to PayPal I now see:

Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker

Here's the thing. PayPal takes fees from transactions and payments received and sent.

I have very right not have ads shoved in my face for something that isn't actually free in the first place and costs money to use. If PayPal would like to continue to piss off folks me like, then I'll happily close my PayPal account and go somewhere else that doesn't shove ads in my face and consume 30-40% of my Internet bandwidth on useless garbage/crap.

#PayPal #Ads

@shinyoukai Haha 🤣 Nice typo there!

@shinyoukai I'm mostly against it because it forces Javascript™ on the client(s) at a blanket level. Doing "Proof-of-Work" explicitly IMO is fine™, but not at an Ingress/Edge level IMO -- Which is why I haven't adopted it myself.

@yarn_police good thing we got law and order around here. And I mean, literally! 😅

@prologic oh man, I envy you. I want an Asian vacation (Japan 😍) so badly!

My day (yesterday), stand up at 09:30AM (AEDT), P2 Incident at 10:20AM. End of my day 04:30AM (AEST) the next day! Oh my 🤣 🔥 🤦‍♂️

@movq @bender I'll also start spamming from my upcoming Vietnam holiday (flying out this Friday) for a couple of soliday weeks 🤣

@movq Seems fine to me! Plenty of time to get our shit™ in order! 🙌

@movq looks good to me! 🎉
