I just had a really cursed thought.

When you post a link on the #Fediverse , it is usually shared with hundreds of instances and shows up in their global timelines.

Doesn't this mean that the Fediverse could be easily abused as an #SEO farm? I.e. increasing the search rank of websites by making them "more linked"?

Is this perhaps already happening?

Fediverse Admins, have you seen activity like this?

Hey Fediverse… please be careful out there. I’ve been seeing way too many people getting targeted lately, and it honestly hurts to watch.

Social engineering scams
If someone randomly DMs you offering “commissions,” don’t trust it. They’ll act friendly, ask about your avatar or artwork, then try to get money out of you. Once you pay, they disappear or send stolen/AI stuff.
Real artists don’t usually approach people like this. Stick to people with real portfolios and trusted reputations.

Phishing links
Be careful with links from people you don’t trust. Some are made to look legit but aren’t like slightly altered URLs or links that look safe but send you somewhere else.

If something feels off, trust that feeling. Don’t click, don’t send money, and don’t engage.

Please stay safe. 💔

I don't want the #Fediverse to grow because I see "growth" as an intrinsic good.

I want the Fediverse to grow because I see commercial social media as a major threat to the long-term survival of human civilization. Thus, we need to replace it - and right now, the Fediverse seems to be the best alternative we have.

Guess how much is the fuel right now in Canada.

Hey #Fediverse,

Need your help to recognize some electronics defect.
It seems the beurer massage gun I have is showing that it is continuously charging even when not connected.

I opened it and I see that one resistor has blown up in half.

The problem I have is that I don't know which one should I get to replace it. I didn't find the pcb ref or design ofc.

Any ideas?
Yes its a shot in the dark, but who know :p

#electronics #fedihelp

PCB with a blown up resistor. The resistance is missing on the pcb

Alt...

The downside of the pcb with the usb-c connecror. Nothing on this side seems to have taken a hit. The sponge on the right sits on the other side of the pcb on top of the missing resistor, hence why the burned up marks.

Alt...

Another view of the missing resistor.

Did quite some maintenance on burningboard.net Mastodon instance today ..

Updated servers and jails to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p5

1.
proxy_cache_path (S3 media cache) was already on a ZFS dataset with autosnapshot disabled .. But proxy_temp_path and client_body_temp_path (both nginx temp folders) weren't. Leading to extremely bloated daily ZFS snapshots for the Nginx jail. Changed those and cleaned old snapshots -> 31GB reclaimed space

2.
Cleaned up Database Snapshots and did a pg_repack on prod to reclaim deleted database pages -> 3GB reclaimed space

3.
Fixed issue with backend path over gif tunnel to Elasticsearch (6in6). Turned out to be a MSS issue (clamp-mss to 1140 solved it!)

4.
Fixed IPv6 routing issue for Prometheus Monitoring after reboot (rc.d static_routes != ipv6_static_routes)

All in all, our instance is in very good shape again :-)

Good Morning #fediverse #tzag

A few months ago I threw this question out into the void - “what if you could access the fediverse through your Usenet reader??” and got almost no response. Still, the idea had lodged in my brain and wouldn’t go away so this weekend I caved in and built the thing. Hat tip to the author of the excellent nntpserver package that did all the hard stuff.

I look forward to seeing someone’s screenshots of fediverse posts on a Commodore 64, some day.

So the fediverse has has BookWyrm, do we have anything to review movies and series? (Does BookWyrm allow for that?)

#fediverse #bookWyrm #movies

It's amazing to see #Mastodon and the #Fediverse recommended more but in turn Bluesky is also named as a "good alternative"

I would like to argue it's not;

If the company behind Bsky decides to stop and shut down their services, your self-hosted PDS can't do anything anymore without all infrastructure needed

Ofc one could self-host this but this is a true nightmare and far from a good solution

So yeah, I feel moving to Bluesky is just moving the problem, it's not a solution

I had enough of this drama.

A person on twitter made a 24+ page document exposing me for blatantly using AI on my profile like I didin't use AI in anyway or hide it.

The accuser linked the post I exposed my real name that post was not AI at all. I used a grammar checker. Some AI detectors will think it is AI but its not

Also, the accuser said that I dump posts every single hour. You can take a look at the time gap. He said that I faked the Network Instance Excluder which is not true. I look at every #fediblock report I came across.

Can we stop making acussations on random people. all what the person said in the document is straight up words, no screenshots at all

I might have to address the elephant in the room I mean why I have migrated from woem.men to here.

I read a document that was sent to be via email by a person who never met him before saying to check out the document. So, I checked that document that the person send me.

The first document that I read was from That Closeted Girl from what I read that Leah attempted to groom That Closeted Girl (based on the document). That Closeted Girl provided the screenshots of the coversation. I found that was disgusting

However, I posted on the now-deleted account that I will leave woem.men and migrate to here. Then, I have read Leah's response and I had some disgust when I read the document.

Then, I made a post here announcing that I am blocking Leah and Ashten. Ashten was helping Leah from what person send me.

Folks, this is a general Gaza Verified message.

Please note that while we know the unconscionable situation people in Gaza are having to go through, we are also seeing a rise (from a small number of people) of mass tagging of people in messages and unsolicited direct messages.

To our friends and families in Gaza Verified: this is against the rules of almost every server, including the one your account is on and it will get your account limited or suspended. It is also against our rules (see https://gaza-verified.org/guide/ or, in Palestinian Arabic: https://gaza-verified.org/guide-arabic/) as we don’t want your accounts to get limited/suspended.

If your account is suspended by your server for no reason or as discrimination for who you are, we will challenge that and, if necessary, help you find a new server (see our friendly servers list in the guide).

And we have also worked with some of you to help explain the rules and advocate on your behalf when your accounts were suspended for mass tagging or unsolicited direct messages.

However, with a small number of accounts, we have seen the same behaviour continue the moment the account is reinstated.

In such situations, we cannot help you further. And we will not verify any new accounts you create to avoid these suspensions.

The goal of Gaza Verified from the start was to ensure that Mastodon and the fediverse was a safe space for our Palestinian friends and, with the help of many server admins, I believe we have, for the most part, succeeded in creating a space where Palestinians are respected and valued. But this is a two-way street. It is also important that the people here who care and want to help are not constantly subjected to targeted messages imploring them to help. Many of those who help are not well off themselves and they help when and how they can.

The best thing about Mastodon and the fediverse is that it is a place where you can build genuine friendships. Everything else will flow from this.

So I beg our friends in Gaza to see the long-term value of being part of a community that cares and hopefully talking to one another and helping ensure that a very small number of accounts doesn’t jeopardise that for everyone for short-term gain.

To our friends and families in Gaza, I do not presume to tell you how to use Mastodon or the fediverse but here are some of my thoughts based on what I’ve seen in the past half-year of Gaza Verified’s existence:

1. Please don’t see this as a competition with each other. We all know that everyone who is in Gaza needs help.

2. Please try and make genuine connections with people here. Share your everyday experiences. People will follow you and they will engage with you. And from that, some of them will no doubt also help you.

3. Please don’t target messages that try to guilt people who have helped in the past to help again. If they can help, they will. Please remember that they may not be in the best financial situation either.

For those of you reading who want to know how they can help, there are two main ways:

1. Check out the list of Gaza Verified accounts at https://gaza-verified.org/donate (ranked by those who raised the least in the past week).

2. Perhaps pick someone and try and organise monthly patronages for them so they can have a certain amount of money coming in every month (call it a universal basic income, if you will, or crowdfunded income redistribution, etc.) so they can pay their rent and/or basic necessities. We just successfully did that for Aseel, one of our Gaza Verified team members, where 17 patrons, including me, are paying her family’s rent. If there was more of this, there would be less need for these families, who are facing genocide and famine, to keep asking for donations.

3. If you are mass tagged in a message or if you receive unsolicited direct messages, please either contact @gazaverified or mute the person in question but please don’t report them if you can. Please remember that our friends in Gaza are facing genocide and the possibility of another famine. Muting them will stop them from contacting you without jeopardising their ability to provide for their family. And if you contact us, we will talk to them.

​Eine bunte, fast surreal wirkende Ansammlung von Skulpturen und Büsten, die dicht an dicht auf einer leuchtend orangefarbenen Mauer drapiert sind. ​Das Hauptmotiv: Das auffälligste Objekt, das leicht erhöht über den anderen thront, ist ein großer, klassisch anmutender Skulpturenkopf. Er hat silberne, lockige Haare, ein gold-bronzefarben bemaltes Gesicht und markante, komplett weiße Augen ohne Pupillen, die ihm einen intensiven, leicht unheimlichen Blick verleihen. ​Weitere Figuren: Entlang der Mauer reihen sich viele weitere, sehr unterschiedliche und teils kuriose Figuren aneinander: Auf der linken Seite ein runder, lächelnder Steinkopf, daneben ein längliches, abstraktes Steingesicht im Profil. Etwas weiter rechts steht eine bunt bemalte Büste einer Person mit grünem Hemd und Kappe, umgeben von diversen kleineren Statuen, Tierköpfen und Ornamenten (darunter auch kleine Steinsäulen mit roten chinesischen Schriftzeichen). ​Die Umgebung: Die Kunstwerke sind fast schon eingewachsen in üppiges Grün. Es gibt Pflanzen mit kleinen violetten und gelben Blüten, die sich zwischen die Figuren mischen, sowie kahle Äste eines Baumes, an denen vereinzelt rosa Blüten hängen. Am rechten Bildrand ist ein Strommast mit vertikalen blauen Schriftzeichen zu sehen, was die Szenerie deutlich in einer asiatischen Straßenkulisse verortet. Im Hintergrund blitzen noch Teile von Wohnhäusern durch.
