@GossiTheDog @jerry @untitaker Can confirm that it pings every instance— even those that have been explicitly blocked or limited by the host instance unless the blocked instance has also been added to the "unavailable" table, which isn't automatic upon blocking/limiting

@jerry @GossiTheDog @untitaker If you're referring to suspending an account on your instance: yes. That's how I uncovered this particular data/privacy leak— I suspended a test account, and noticed my Sidekiq Retries fill up with errors from my Push queue. The errors stemmed from my WAF blocking inbound webfinger probes triggered in response to the outbound message sent by my instance.

Today, I received my free COVID-19 tests that I ordered via the US Postal Service last week.

If you haven't done so already, you can order up to 4 free COVID-19 tests by visiting https://special.usps.com/testkits

Does Elk only work as a docker container now?

@jerry Not that I know of, and that would require a down-to-the-studs code rewrite, but worth pinging the @elk team to ask if they can point to the latest Documentation. Last time I was in their Discord (a while ago), there was a push to improve the Docs, so worth asking

#Fediverse #Mastodon question: why do the same people keep following and unfollowing me? 🤷🏾‍♂️

@patrickworld Interesting that you mentioned this because someone else on my timeline said something about a similar situation earlier today. Can't remember who said it, though

In February, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called for a “national divorce” between red and blue states. Now, she’s taking her call for a schism even further by encouraging states to outright “consider seceding from the union.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/marjorie-taylor-greene-states-consider-seceding-from-the-union-1234822567/

@RollingStone MTG is batshit crazy and seeking attention, duly noted. Will not click on the bait tho

All of Guy Fieri’s relatives sound like they’re named after sections in a Bass Pro Shop.

@Alice TFW you absolutely know there's way more context to the post than you know of, but the substance of the post more than suffices

So far, I am pretty impressed by the simplicity of fastly.

I am contemplating a major refactoring that is focused on performance. I believe I will consolidate down from the 13 servers today to 4 larger servers colocated on a 10gbps network, and moving back to a local minio storage provider.

The 16 core DB server is regularly saturating, so will likely go with one of the 64 core sapphire rapids servers for that and redis, and another for puma.

Fastly seems like a much better solution than setting up a bunch of nginx reverse proxies around the world, and so far it seems to be working really well.

@jerry Indeed. You'll save lots of bandwidth and improve response times by moving static assets to a CDN. The only "gotcha" I've noticed is that Mastodon does tend to do WTF it wants with cache times, so having a CDN that allows you to overwrite cache headers regardless of what the origin server wants + 1-button cache purging is extremely helpful during upgrades (and also w/ moving between dev <-> prod without seeing console errors stemming from caching issues)

Request: before accusing your instance admin of shadow banning you, or of trying to spy on you, or of trying to install malware in your browser, or of deleting your posts, please take a moment to try a "normal" browser that doesn't have all the security and privacy gunk.

thx

@jerry the smrt ones will also accuse you of violating their privacy by implementing JS or session cookies for bot detection and DDoS mitigation 🙃

@jerry i'm fretting the day one of them "does their own research" on QUIC

Perhaps the room temperature superconductors were the friends we made along the way?
