@ShadowJonathan @da_667 What if I told you…that it‘s irrelevant what you name a Firewall? Combine any of those as many as you want. All it needs to shatter your illusion of security is one vulnerable, exposed endpoint. 😜

@ShadowJonathan the firewall for my industrial network is the whole thing bursting into flames if you scan it

:boosts_ok_gay: PSA: queer.af has been seized by the Afghanistan NIC

the domain does not resolve anymore, this means that the website cannot be accessed anymore

(i'm going to contact the admin to help them with allowing users to login still and press "migrate" on their accounts, since i have a feeling thats still possible, as a last-gasp effort of the server)

edit: for manual resolving and pinning, the IP address is 65.108.48.233

LB 👆 Unfortunately if you're a Mastodon instance offering to help members of queer.af to migrate to your server, editing /etc/hosts to manually add the IP address won't help, because Mastodon uses its own DNS resolver that bypasses /etc/hosts.

Edit: open issue here: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

@ShadowJonathan: While I sympathise with the people who are caught in the middle of this, this is a good argument against the practice of TLD hacks.

@ShadowJonathan

Is it ok to cross-post this on Bluesky or have you already done that?

Normal :jo_2: :v_enby:

oh btw

something that fedi admins might want to know; TOR-hosted instances (.onion) can simply use exit nodes to fetch posts from real instances

it might be worth it to look into blocking the whole TLD .onion, since by default mastodon will just allow fetching from there

Normal :jo_2: :v_enby:

i was looking through my logs and i saw requests from .onion domains, which confused me a lot

@ShadowJonathan I dont see an issue with tor instances, I think that tor is a good protocol

@ShadowJonathan the fact that it's the Wii Shop Channel user agent instead of simply the Opera browser makes it very suspicious. i wouldn't trust it…

Normal :jo_2: :v_enby:

Okay, just to be clear;

Tencent/Alibaba/the CCP/whatever has *specific* software targeted at scraping mastodon servers, by hitting the unauthenticated "list posts from user" API endpoint, with *specific* account IDs, that they must've determined to be interesting from some moment or another.

The only way to get those account IDs is to ask the server to resolve them, thats already a step further than a normal scraping bot.

What's more, the IPs and user agents (basically, text which tells what browser you have) all ONLY hit this specific endpoint, meaning this is a targeted, predetermined, scraping operation.

By looking up the account IDs from the last dozen or so attempts that i see here in my logs, almost each of them are some colorful flavour of trans, gay, or enby.

They are specifically targeting us queer folks with this scraping.

@ShadowJonathan Well if they look at my profile, they're gonna get an eyeful lol. Same if they scrape some of the other gorgeous people on here

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt it's not the CCP, it's some military contractor in austin texas who wants to manufacture more consent or war with iran so they need some training data for their bots. fedi doesn't block anything because it can't. this is a feature we are yelling these posts to all the internet.
please understand fedi is where all the gay is so when the war machine needs to make more fear mongering they use fedi as a firehose for the paranoia and hatred of all the kinds.

solution: put on the kitty cat ears and install misskey nya

Alan Wake 2 is an amazing game

please go play it, also play the original if you have the time, and Control, they're all incredibly good games

Alan Wake 2 has taken more time than i remember, it has had spinoff small games, some teasers, gameplay videos of experiments, everything, scrapped and redone, and they have fucking delivered

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.", this is the fucking example of that

Kris :v_bi: :v_amam:

@ShadowJonathan will do, but am poor

also i need a refresher on what happened in the 1st one, i barely remember

Lukyan

@ShadowJonathan Everything you write makes me want to play this game (except for Epic and the hardware requirements).

I should resume playing the first one (probably a new playthrough as I have forgotten when I played it) and reinstall Control after I free some disk space on the Steam Deck (likely by completing big games).

Some other games might be both delayed and rushed.

@ShadowJonathan The serious question has always been that if someone was to ride a broomstick, on which part of their body does their weight distribute on?

Put a broomstick propped up between two chairs or something and try it for yourself for very questionable implications.

why is emotional stoicism normalised under masculinity

why is emotional vulnerability punished and condemned

what the fuck is wrong with people

Jae 🦋

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt i think one of the most strong and brave things a person can do is reveal their emotions to another, something the typical "strong-man" never does in media.

i find it very, very ironic that what takes such effort, makes you a "pussy" to many macho-fucks. makes me very, very sad.

Just got reminded of another issue on the home assistant repo that got marked as stale

I hate stalebots, I really do

I just poked my todo item for nostalebots.xyz and poked it to maybe look at it again tomorrow

One of the ideas in there is to make an application that people can turn on and use to "revive" stale bot threatened issues every time a stale bot comes around and marks them

I want stalebots to become unusable, I want the noise of constant staleness fighting between users and bots to force the repo owner to either disable the bot, or ban the users, in the latter case exposing their opinion that they don't care about those issues

I want stalebots to become untenable, I want them to be hated with extreme prejudice, I want it to become the hallmark of an uncaring maintainer or a PKI-overdosing company, I want them to be a mark of low quality, I want them to be glared out of existence

I hate stalebots.

@ShadowJonathan Ok so I never heard of stalebots but I'm guessing this is referring to the automated closing of issues that get ignored and not solved?

Like, how when I google a very specific problem with a project, I find an issue that didn't get solved and got closed as if it didn't exist?

@ShadowJonathan Don't respond to the stalebot in the issue, create a new issue titled "issue # was marked as stale" instead :blobCat_wink_tongue_out:​

This is a video mashing up all known and prominent "shop" themes, but then also mashing up the visuals, for example, it starts off with a wii shop segment, but then immediately shows off a prominent NPC from the legend of Zelda as a "shopkeeper", then it transitions into that legend of Zelda game, as if you "exited" the shop popup, but instead of the NPC, you suddenly get a shopkeeper from Pokémon, selling pokeballs, and it just goes on and on from there, I'd guess
