there’s also a constant veil of what I believe to be cold dust in the air and smog 😢

this is apparently a famous lake in Hanoi city in Vietnam. Don’t know what it’s called though.

We have arrived at our first hotel. but check-in isn’t till 2PM 🤣 We arrived at 12:45PM 😆

Image

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe That’s the one 😆

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Very nice! 👌

That’s going to be most of our holidays next year 🤣 Mostly because we bought a van to go “glamping” about the country 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh i see!

It’s only been really @manton@bridge.twtxt.net that’s new on yhe disxover cure? 🧐 And only because i’m following him (only person whose Fediverse handle i could remember 🤣)

Even on piss poor in-flight Wi-Fi it works pretty well 👌

I have to say. A well designed Hypermedia Driven Web Application such as yarnd‘ using HTMX is just as good, i'd not better, than one written in React.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You don’t go on holidays anywhere? 🧐

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Too true!

One of the advantages of being vegetarian. you get served your in-flight meal first. before everyone else 🤣

Image

@bender@twtxt.net What’s happened for you here? 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de All good! 👌 Likely bug on my end (bridge)

fark’n hell! why are there so many actors on the bridge?! 🤯 (shadow twtxt feeds)

The token isn’t secret in anyway, just proving that you control / own the feed.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yea or as a comment in your feed somewhere

Seems i can’t add you to the bridge hmmm

Image

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So that’s movq@tilde.zone ? I’ll first have to put it into the bridge…

Hey @ocdtrekkie@bridge.twtxt.net 👋 Is this thing on? 🧐

Maybe someone else can help with more testing? 🧐

I think i may have fixed threading too but can’t easily test now as i’ve left for my
holiday and don’t really use Mastodon 😂

@therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net Sweet! Mentions are fixed! 👌 Now just have to fix threading!

@therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net 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! 🤩

Image

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com 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@neko.laidback.moe I don’t even know how to fix that 🤣 Do you? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com 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@aelaraji.com 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@aelaraji.com ? 🤔 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 😎

Image

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good luck! 🤞

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe If you’re after a list of bad ASN(s) I have such a list handy here 😂

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com 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@neko.laidback.moe 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@aelaraji.com 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? 🤔

Image

@bender@twtxt.net 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? 🤔

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yes 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 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@twtxt.net Maybe so. But running Mastodon or GotoSocial is actually not as easy as you’d think 😂

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