Let me see how mine come out:

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev it seems your GtS has issues:

Warning! It looks like trusted-proxies is not set correctly in this instance’s configuration. This may cause rate-limiting issues and, by extension, federation issues.

If you are the instance admin, you should fix this by adding 10.66.66.1/32 to your trusted-proxies.

In-reply-to » Hi James, great to hear your interest. So this is an exclusive roundtable luncheon with people in the IT, Engineering, DevOps and Technical professionals. This is an opportunity to benchmark and share stories and experiences with like-minded peers in a closed-door, Chatham House Rule environment where you will be given the opportunity to speak openly and candidly.

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net seems like you showed interest on some Snake Oil kumbayah. LOL.

In-reply-to » Cleaning up some of the 500 open tabs on my phone. I realized that if I don’t have some place to stash the good ones, I won’t go through any. http://a.9srv.net/b/2025-01-16

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I extensively use Cloud tabs under macOS/iOS, and history across both OSs as well. I am finding the it has limited my needing to use search engines greatly.

Granted, I usually keep between 50-60 open tabs, and Safari (both mobile and desktop) does a great job with them (power wise). Now, 500! Ooof! 😅

In-reply-to » Walking those few hundred meters to the dentist and home took me at least three times as long as usual. Complete sheets of ice on the footpaths, definitely ice skating territory. The dentist was caught in a traffic jam and arrived about an hour late. On my morning journey I saw two ambulance operations, one on the way there and the other one when I returned. Just 200m apart. I fear it's going to be an exhausting day for all the rescue personell.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you just reminded me I need to schedule a visit to the Tooth Fairy. 😅

About the weather, ugh! Crazy the world we live in. Our west coast is engulfed on fires, and the other side of the world is pretty much freezing. You can’t make this up!

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net hehehe, it is not streamlined as you want it. Feedly and an amalgam of news sites, prioritising BBC, NPR, and The Guardian.

Tech news on Hacker News, some subs on Reddit, etc.

In-reply-to » @doesnm I see problems with that, that do not exist on my approach. You could see, example.com/x/bananas/yo.txt, and the feed has no nick. What is the nick?

I mean, since most feeds are named twtxt.txt, following your recommendation, there could be many “twtxt” nicks. 😀

@movq@www.uninformativ.de on Yarn, if you start a twtxt with (something), for example, it gets stripped out. Not sure if that’s what OP referred about.

@head_honcho_supremus@twtxt.net sounds good but, when using Yarn—at least—users shouldn’t need to worry about this minutiae. They simply hit “Reply”, or “Fork”.

Note, I manually added a nick to this reply.

In-reply-to » I received a tad over four hundred e-mails during my three and a half weeks vacation. That's actually really good, I expected way more. It just would have been nice if some bot e-mail addresses hadn't changed and hence slipped through my sorting filter rules in the first place.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I got a bit over 1,000, which isn’t bad at all. During Thanksgiving holidays I got over 2,000.

I am at inbox zero now, but not telling my boss. This week I feel like I need it slow, to recover from the vacation. LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net :-( I know the feeling. It sucks. Plenty of fluids and rest. There is no much else you can do. Of course, a Theraflu, or similar over the counter will make you feel better, but they will also make you groggy and sleepy.

Though my use of words wasn’t the best, I would agree. It certainly is possible. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was referring to their documentation advice, mostly:

“GoToSocial supports both SQLite and Postgres as database drivers. Though it is possible in theory to swap your database from SQLite to Postgres or vice versa, we do not currently have tooling to support this, so you should consider your choice of database carefully when starting out.

SQLite is the default driver and it’s been shown to work brilliantly for instances in the range of 1-30 users (or maybe more).”

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I think it is kind of impossible to switch from sqlite to Postgres. I have run GtS on sqlite from get go, no issues. Granted, single user instance, but still…

In-reply-to » Cool! 😎 So I can now block ASN(s) 🤣 (And I bet no-one noticed anything)

Hmm, yeah, I am doing something wrong. Same is happening with any site to which I apply the this.

Is there a reason you forked this from mholt? What was added, or changed? Your “Initial commit” throws an error.

In-reply-to » Cool! 😎 So I can now block ASN(s) 🤣 (And I bet no-one noticed anything)

On a test I ran, with a static site that is a PWA, like this:

example.com {
        root * /web/example.com
        route / {
             rate_limit {path} 20r/m
             file_server
        }
}

It works (as limiting rate), but when rate isn’t reached, the page doesn’t render. Not sure what could be going on.

So this should build caddy with both modules:

$ xcaddy build --with git.mills.io/prologic/caddy-ratelimit --with  git.mills.io/prologic/caddy-waf

Right?
