Since I keep seeing developers use ‘pretty’ IP addresses like ’1.2.3.4’ in example configurations; a reminder that you MUST NOT use publicly routable addresses that you do not control in your code.

Instead, use one of the available 'TEST-NET' IPv4 or IPv6 ranges documented in RFC 6890;

192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24

❌ 1.2.3.4
✅ 192.0.2.4

and for IPv6;

✅ 2001:db8::/32

Pass it on to all of your fellow developers, documentation writers, and so forth.

Full RFC for special purpose addresses;

datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc68

Reserved for documentation, IPv4 and IPv6;

datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc57
datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc38

@sindarina we actually recommend using arbitrary ipv4 addresses for any serious project you plan on publishing.

do strictly stick with the RFC-approved ones when it comes to ipv6 tho.

@sindarina

indeed. there are also reserved DNS names for documentation. use them for documentation, not for internal hosts.

migrated a few months old, hardly ever used akkoma instance to pleroma (using database rollbacks from my MR) and it seems to work fine, in case anyone's interested

Applause for the marketing team who turned this bug into a feature

"Easy to Use - Please note that this USB-C to USB Adapter only supports single-sided 10Gbps high-speed transmission (while other brands only provide 1/2 transmission speed). [highlight begins] The Type-C female port allows you to switch between USB 3.1 speed and USB 2.0 speed with a simple flip of the Type C plug [/highlight]. Now you can enjoy unparalleled transmission quality from your devices!"

@jonty I actually have an external HDD that doesn't even fucking work on 3.0 mode so I have to use a hub or the USB 2.0 port on my Laptop.

@jonty that's what you get when you let marketing people generate copy with AI.

I made a soapbox fork with a dedicated 🔧 button (that’s just the flagship feature). it’s so useful on days like this, def a significant contribution to the fediverse

Smithereen (running on this very server I'm writing this from). But I'm usually gentle with my criticism.

But you know, Smithereen actually has groups that actually work and federate.
