@abucci@anthony.buc.ci appreciate it if you find the time to update again 🙏

Now that’s rolling out, I think that’s it. The only final way I can improve that /external endpoint/view is to refactor how it works a bit and add some HTMX magic™ so it has a nice snappy UX to it as it dynamically tries to validate the feed and provide useful feedback to the user, that way I can avoid injecting it into the cache unnecessarily in the first place!

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah but I found another bug and just squished that. CD pipeline is gonna roll this pod soon™ – Basically wasn’t handling feeds that redirect properly. e.g: https://google.com => https://www.google.com (though it’s not a feed 🤣)

Hmm I see this in the cache again 🤦‍♂️ Not sure how tbh – Job for me later.

This is what I think of when I hear users mention “the cloud”: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=9ntPxdWAWq8

There’s like one game a year that’s played in Ireland… Or every other year. I don’t know why… advertising to get college football worldwide?

@bender@twtxt.net https://google.com has been removed from the cache (without nuking the entire cache) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci if you need to selectively do this for some reason, there’s a script in the tools directory for this:

$ ./tools/cache_delete_feed.sh 'https://google.com'

Anyway, that’s gone. This is much much harder to exploit now, even if you’re an authenticated user.

Time for work™, But I quickly hacked together a bit of a better solution here. Rolling it out to my pod so we’ll see how it actually goes. Still possible to abuse if you’re a logged in user, etc, but at least now we delete the invalid/bad feed afterwards if it a) was not even a text//plain content-type or b) it errored out and was a new fetch of a HTTP feed.

Yeah okay.

@bender@twtxt.net Not possible 🤣

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I mean it’s only suppose to do one thing really. What are you thinking here?

Yeah I was afraid of this. Technically can still be abused by “logged in” users. Hmmm

So we really not trust ourselves? 🤣🙄

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci No worries! 😅

Had to disable support functions because I’ve received three spammy support emails today. Thanks for that feature @prologic@twtxt.net

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Never connect a TV to the Internet and then it will work for even longer than 7 years.

A stopgap setting that would let me stop all calls to /external matching a particular pattern (like this damn lovetocode999 nick) would do the job. Given the potential for abuse of that endpoint, having more moderation control over what it can do is probably a good idea.

But this is super weird, should behave the same as my pod 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci nuke the cache file before starring

How did you nuke your cache?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmmm weird 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You don’t actually appear to be running that sha hmmm? 🤔

Hmmm

It appears to be working to 👌 silly bots 🙄

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Bo worries! If you curl it too it’ll return a proper 494 👌 Should make bots go away 🤞

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Blah my cache was poisoned 🤦‍♂️ it’s fine now! And this is no monger possible to do now.

@bender@twtxt.net Did they win though? Did they?! 🤣

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci This is already in place. It will error, return 404 Feed Not Found for non-browsers and external feeds are never fetched (unless you are an authenticated/valid user of the pod) – I patched that hole a while ago, because I already picked up it was being abused by bots 🤖

Agora com texto e cartaz oficiais:

Why were they playing in Ireland?

Support (and thus abuse reports) are now disabled on this pod. There’s now a new setting in Settings -> Poderator Settings called “Disable Support”.

This happens again today. This is twice just today alone. Hmm I’m reconsidering this feature entirely, rarely used and if it’s just going to be abused by spammer, I don’t see the value in it. I’m certainly not going to try to build some kind of “anti-spam” filters or anything, sounds cool, I’d learn a lot, but smells of effort and time I simply don’t have 😢 #spam #sucks

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net OMG! 😦 What da hell is going on here?! I used to have a friend that came from North Carolina, this is terrible (attacking power grids) 🤬 wtf are these people smoking?! 🚬

Like why does spammers even bother?! Don’t they realize how fucking futile and useless it is to be abuse something like a support form? I mean clearly nothing is going to come of this, except it’s going to be clearly ignored and toss in the bin. 🤣

Wow! My god spammers really try hard song they? 🤣 Geez 🤦‍♂️ Do we need to make the captcha harder? 🙄

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org to be fair the settings that you can change in the user interface are persisted to the settings YAML file and yes override any environmental command online options. This is always made sense to me because there are subset of settings that can be changed dynamically at runtime without requiring any restart.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci It’s good enough IMO 🤞

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com It is if he’s turned off open profiles 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thank you! 🙇‍♂️

FSU lost to freaking Georgia Tech in Ireland. forlorn noises

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Interesting. The yarnd --help currently says (for me):

  -R, --open-registrations            whether or not to have open user registgration

meaning it doesn’t give the default setting or warn you that you need to use -R=false and not -R false. It also leaves unclear whether --open-registrations false would work or if you need to do --open-registrations=false. It’s also unclear whether the setting change in the user interface is overridden by the command line arguments, overrides the command line arguments, is persisted across restarts.

Maybe all this is worth posting an issue for additional documentation on the git repo if there isn’t one already.

“registgration” is misspelled that way in the help by the way.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org in Australia, take everything you have learned, and do the opposite. After all, it is the land down under! :-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com didn’t know there was a place to fix them; in here we toss them. Wish it was cheap to ship stuff. I have a couple of decent monitors in the garage that will soon take a trip to the curve…

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ugh, how come didn’t this occurred to me…! Oh well, I am good now, but noted. Thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net salt’em to keep them viable longer. Salt’em! :-D

@yarn_police@twtxt.net yay! Law and order on the watch!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, haven’t seeing the @yarn_police@twtxt.net for a while. I often wonder if we are, finally, crime free. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! Yes! Perfect now. Hitting reply opens it with insert, and prompt at the end of the first line. Just as I wanted it. Thank you much!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org welcome! :-) I am doing my best to get more acquaintance with vi/vim. I think nano has spoiled me too much. LOL.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hmm, I am already using au BufNewFile,BufRead jenny-posting.eml setl completefunc=jenny#CompleteMentions fo-=t wrap, from jenny. How would I go to incorporate that there?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “good, good, and fascinating indeed” – says Quark, all while eating an overflowing toast with butter, and blackberry jam. :-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com power outages happen here almost every single time strong storms pass by, I know the feeling mate. It truly sucks.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hmm, I guess I could do that too. I have startinsert set on my .vimrc, so I will either have to take it out, or exit insert, $, then insert again. I think the way you do it would be the way to go.

I tried setting VISUAL to be something like vim -c 'star!', which does the same thing, but no dice. :-/

Keeping people safe! <3

@quark@ferengi.one Thanks! 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, maybe you can help me with this. I want to place the vim cursor at the end of the first line on replies, and forks. I have tried adding to this to jenny’s configuration:

"editor": "vim \"+normal $\"",

But that doesn’t work. How would you go about it?

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds fair. Let’s see how it works for @abucci@anthony.buc.ci. Speedy fix, that’s awesome! :-)

I’m happy with the current implementation though, because the only reason you should be hitting the external profile endpoint at all is a) you’re logged in and happen to click on someone’s profile that is external to the pod or b) you’re anonymous and just clicking through the frontpage (see a)

@bender@twtxt.net The problem with this is we just don’t know until we try. That’s why if the external feed you’re looking for isn’t found in the cache, it’ll try to fetch it in the background. It’s a bit of a sucky UX really, but its better than the experience of “waiting, waiting waiting and then timeout”.

I’ve pushed a slightly improved version of this that will return a HTTP 404 Not Found if the UserAgent is determined to NOT be a Browser.

On my blog: Developer Diary, Women’s Equality Day https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2024/08/26/womens-equality.html #programming #project #devjournal

Pena que o @vostpt@vostpt esteja a falar sobre o #sismo… mas só na rede ao lado.

Aqui fica um resumo do que por lá dizem:

#ATerraTreme #Sines #Portugal Dados ipma_pt: Um sismo de 5.3, a uma profundidade de 16km a Oeste de #Sines fez a terra tremer um pouco por todo o lado.

Se sentiste este sismo de 5.3, preenche o questionário no site do ipma_pt em https://bit.ly/sentiumsismo (vai demorar um bocadinho a abrir, que ainda está a tremer)

Para quem só acordou agora:

• Sim, houve um sismo e tu não deste por nada, e garantimos que não foste só tu que não sentiste o sismo.
  
• Não há risco de tsunami
  
• Podem existir réplicas
  

Mais uma vez prova-se a necessidade de termos, em #Portugal, um sistema de #CellBroadcast para quando ocorrem estes fenómenos.

Desde o sismo das 5h11 já foram registadas 3 réplicas, sem qualquer registo de terem sido sentidas. O registo é um processo técnico e científico, o sentir é o que muitos hoje experienciaram às 5h11.

Já o #IPMA, que não anda por cá, disse por lá isto:

Now responds with an error page; but still a 200 OK which I’m not entirely sure I agree with or am happy with? Hmm

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’ve fixed this and pushed a commit to main. Will test it on my pod and see how it goes. Basically reporting an error if the feed isn’t in the cache and you’re unauthenticated (anonymous).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup! 👌

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmmm I’ll have a look at this today, hopefully. 🤞 Thanks for bringing this up! 🙇‍♂️

@xuu@txt.sour.is we really must invest more time and effort into salty im 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com good morning! Are you wake up that early?! 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it looks like it would kill you. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net and I saw some conspiracy theory that he knew he was going to be arrested. He was working with French intelligence on a plea deal to defect. And now Russia is freaking out that Ukraine allies can have war comms access.

Yikes! If only they had salty.im!

@bender@twtxt.net The whole album, it’s pretty good. It’s available on YouTube but it’s missing from all the music streaming services (Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, etc). I especially like Tenth Avenue Breakdown.

So you have to manually refresh…

It’s a crime that Slow Motion by Supertramp isn’t available on any of the streaming services. It might even be the Crime of the Century.

There is a bug in yarnd that’s been around for awhile and is still present in the current version I’m running that lets a person hit a constructed URL like

YOUR_POD/external?nick=lovetocode999&uri=https://socialmphl.com/story19510368/doujin

and see a legitimate-looking page on YOUR_POD, with an HTTP code 200 (success). From that fake page you can even follow an external feed. Try it yourself, replacing “YOUR_POD” with the URL of any yarnd pod you know. Try following the feed.

I think URLs like this should return errors. They should not render HTML, nor produce legitimate-looking pages. This mechanism is ripe for DDoS attacks. My pod gets roughly 70,000 hits per day to URLs like this. Many are porn or other types of content I do not want. At this point, if it’s not fixed soon I am going to have to shut down my pod. @prologic@twtxt.net please have a look.

@mckinley@twtxt.net He’s signed up three times now even though I keep deleting the account, which is enough for me to permaban this person. I don’t technically want open registrations on my pod but up till now I’ve been too lazy to figure out how to turn them off and actually do that, and there hasn’t been a pressing need. I may have to now.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org We have some native blackberry species but around here (Northern California) we have Himalayan blackberry bushes which are very invasive. They match your description but I don’t know much about the different species. If left unchecked in an area with plenty of sun, they’ll smother all the lower plants and expand until they can’t anymore.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. I wonder if Usenet would have faded away earlier if it wasn’t for file sharing. It’s only still in use for that because the annoying parts have been papered over with easy-to-use software and the protocol offers unique characteristics that make it almost perfect for that sort of thing.
