Pompeya: El "servidor" físico de la antigüedad

Si crees que los hilos de conversación y los estados de ánimo públicos son inventos de internet, tienes que mirar las paredes de Pompeya. Antropológicamente, los grafitis pompeyanos funcionaban igual que una instancia de Mastodon o un muro de red social. Allí, la gente común —no solo los poderosos— publicaba desde quejas sobre el servicio de una taberna (el primer "review"), declaraciones de amor, propaganda política, hasta chistes subidos de tono y "hashtags" visuales. Era una comunicación horizontal, orgánica y sin un nodo central que la controlara. Como diría la sociología, era el espacio donde el ciudadano recuperaba su voz fuera de los discursos oficiales del Senado. Al igual que el Fediverso, los grafitis de Pompeya eran una red donde la identidad se construía a través de lo que se compartía con la comunidad en el espacio público.

@paul @andypiper @mastodonmigration

If your little self-hosted instance were the target of a DDoS attack, it would not warrant comment from any head of anything at #Mastodon. It wouldn't really be their concern, whoever that might be.

As I understand it, one big reason ppl are advised to migrate from mastodon.social is that the maintainers have been AWOL. That's who ought to be commenting to anyone concerned.

@mastodonmigration I'm glad they made clear it was Mastodon.Social that was attacked. Andy Piper did the fediverse good with his comments.

"So far, only mastodon.social has been targeted ... “This is a case where the decentralized nature of the Fediverse is a true advantage,” noted Mastodon’s head of communications, Andy Piper.

“Users with accounts on other Mastodon (or any other Fediverse) servers were completely unaffected, and in most cases, the outage would have been invisible to them — they have been able to access the network, read and share posts as usual.” "

Thank you, @andypiper ! #Mastodon #DDoS

Mastodon: Funding for work on encrypted direct messages and more

The Mastodon team receives 614,000 Euros from the Sovereign Tech Agency for work on features that the entire Fediverse will soon benefit from.

You can edit your posts in Mastodon by clicking ⋯ on the post and then "edit".

To prevent bait-and-switch abuses of this feature, previous versions of your post will still be visible if people click on the "edited" or "edit history" links. Also, anyone who has already boosted your post will receive a notification each time it is edited.

There is lots more info (including questions answered) about editing Mastodon posts in the guide:

Kleines Fediverse-Gedankenexperiment für den Abend 🌙

Stell dir vor, dein E-Mail-Anbieter würde dir verbieten, Mails an Gmail-Nutzer zu schicken, weil die auf einem "anderen Server" sind.

Klingt absurd? Genau das machen Twitter/X, Instagram & Co. täglich mit euren sozialen Kontakten.

ActivityPub sagt: Nö, Interoperabilität ist kein Feature, sondern Standard. 📡

#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Dezentralisierung #Mastodon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Rex_Banner/116449560085352414

Das klingt gut. Ich hoffe nur, dass das Team von Mastodon sich hier sauber mit den anderen Entwicklern von Software für das Fediverse abstimmt und das Ganze koordiniert abläuft. Sonst gibt es ein totales Chaos.
Nur weil die meisten Instanzen im Fediverse Mastodon Instanzen sind sollten die Entwickler nicht arrogant werden und dem Rest des Fediverse ihren Weg aufdrücken, indem sie einfach vollendete Tatsachen schaffen.

Dulu pakai wasabi di awal karena dikira bakal boros pemakaiannya kayak #mastodon yang "remote media" pasti dia "cache". Makanya pakai eksternal (wasabi) biar gak habis kapasitas s3 in-house.

Berhubung ternyata pemakaian s3 di misskey ini kecil karena remote media tidak diaktifkan cache-nya, jadi diputuskan untuk pindah saja ke infrastruktur s3 in-house.

🚀 FediSuite v1.2.0 → v1.2.2 released!

Three releases in three days — here's what's new:

Automatic thread splitting (v1.2.0)
Long posts are now split into thread segments live in the composer — at paragraph, sentence, or word boundaries. Full preview included.

Notifications area (v1.2.0)
A dedicated sidebar section for notifications. Supported Fediverse accounts can now load their notifications directly inside FediSuite — no more jumping back to each individual instance.

Full Vernissage support (v1.2.2)
Vernissage is now a first-class platform in FediSuite: account connection, composer rules, photo uploads, publishing, historical import, post-stat refresh, and notifications — all covered. OAuth2 with a dedicated dynamic client registration flow.

Plus a range of bug fixes around thread management, the edit modal, Misskey visibility handling, and notification edge cases.

#FediSuite #Fediverse #OpenSource #Mastodon #Vernissage #SelfHosting

Any piece of Software that lets you share Media with others, be it #messengers like #signal or SMPs like #mastodon or #bluesky, should prompt you to decide, whether you want to keep, change or delete the #metadata of the media file.

The same goes imo for any application, that lets you insert media files into larger documents, like #zettlr, #joplin, #LibreOffice, etc.

All these applications should offer both, a default setting AND a per-file prompt/switch that allows to make this decision.

This is BETTER than stripping metadata silently by default because:

* it creates awareness for the issue with the user base.
* I do not have to remember for each application I work with, how it handles the problem. (I should not have to read through the docs for this!)
* thus I will not have to use third party tools to remove metadata each time i share a pic, when it is actually done by the main application anyway.
* last but not least, there are cases where it is better or even important to preserve metadata.

Is there a mastodon client that works like RSS?

My current clients look more like old twitter with chronological posts hitting a cental wall.

What I would like is to read from a creator and just that creator. Have a backlog like I do with RSS. Some people posts hundreds of times a day and they drown out EVERYONE else. I have to temp mute them to read anyone elses posts.

Unter Beschuss: Angriffe auf Mastodon und Bluesky

Neulich war Bluesky ausgefallen, das Gleiche soll mit der größten Mastodon-Instanz passiert sein. Beide gerieten unter Beschuss per DDOS. Eine DDOS-Attacke ist quasi so etwas in der Art, dass ein Server so lang mit Anfragen beschossen wird, bis der seinen Dienst quittiert. Jaja, die Alleswisser werden hier wieder sagen, dass das nicht exakt genug ist. Das kann ja sein, aber wenn das hier Leute lesen, die nicht so tief in der Materie stecken, brauche ich da nicht mit Details um die Ecke zu kommen.

Mastodon DDoS Attack Disrupts Flagship Server Temporarily

Vielen Dank, @kalauer 🙏

Gibt es eigentlich auf #Mastodon auch entsprechend selbstkritische Reflexionen über den Zerfall der Ampel und die Niederlagen linker Parteien? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Mir scheint, viele hier scheinen sich gerne auf Kosten der #Union für moralisch, intellektuell und wissenschaftlich überlegen zu halten. Und es dabei zu belassen.

Dabei wäre es doch für unsere #Demokratie sehr viel hilfreicher, wenn hier beispielsweise auch der Niedergang der #Sozialdemokratie aufgearbeitet und umgekehrt würde. Immerhin wählen gerade auch Arbeiter & Neudeutsche auffällig häufig #AfD… 🤔😣

Guten Morgen! ☀️

Fun Fact zum Kaffee: In „Baldur's Gate 3" haben die Entwickler über 174 verschiedene Enden programmiert – aber die meisten von uns haben trotzdem 200 Stunden gebraucht, um überhaupt aus dem ersten Akt rauszukommen. 😅

Age verification billls like the Massachusetts House just passed functionally outlaw broad swaths of communication platforms that have been designed to protect user privacy. That's bad in itself, but it also has the side effect of effectively making independent social media platforms like Mastodon illegal.

Linux is Freedom

How to move your OLD Mastodon account to a NEW Mastodon account.

There are 6 simple steps.

This post is post 1 of 2, which includes the first 4 steps.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #Migration #Move

Alt...

Screenshot shows on the Old Site, you select "Import and export" and then select "Data Export". Download the CSV files.

Alt...

Screenshot shows step 2, on the New Site, you select "Import and export" and you select "Import". From the drop down menu, you select the type of import you want to import. For example, followers. Select browse, find the CSV file you saved, and select upload. The screenshot notes you should wait until the import is finished before importing another CSV. The screenshot shows there is a status of "finished" when completed.

Alt...

Screenshot shows step 3 on the New Site. You want to select "account" and "account settings". You will see a part that reads "Moving from a different account. To move from another account to this one, first you need to create an account alias." The end of that sentence is the URL you want to click on.

The screenshot shows step 4, on the New Site, you will enter your Old username, and then select "create alias". The screenshot notes that after creating a alias you want to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to sync within the Fediverse before moving to the next step.

How to move your OLD Mastodon account to a NEW Mastodon account.

There are 6 simple steps.

This post is post 2 of 2, which includes the last 2 steps.

The screenshot shows step 5 on the Old Site. You want to select "Account" and "Account Settings". There is a part that reads "Move to a different account. If you wish to redirect this account to a different one, you can configure it here." The end of that sentence is the URL you want to click on.

This screenshot shows the last step, step 6. Here you will enter your New username, and your current password for your old account. Then you will select "move followers". The screenshot reads after this step you are all done.

So far, Maser is my favorite #Mastodon #iOS app

It used to be that people on Mastodon would grant people a little grace. If they misunderstood something, doubted something or needed clarification, they'd politely question. Lately I've seen much more bickering. An absence of grace. Anger. Inflexibility.
I hope this is a blip and not the future. #mastodon

@dansup
If you consider that the battle is between centralized networks and decentralized networks, then know this....

#Bluesky remains centralized, despite its claims that it will be decentralized some time in the future (a promise they have yet to fulfill). Because of this, Bluesky is a competitor of the #ActivityPub protocol (used by #Mastodon), which is decentralized.

Bluesky was begun within the Twitter Corporation, so will they actually ever become decentralized?

This site, Mastodon.cloud, is not secure. It has been abandoned and is currently running outdated software with a known security vulnerability. Please migrate to an alternative site.

Mastodon.cloud is also being de-federated, meaning it is being disconnected from the rest of the Fediverse. In the future, other Mastodon and Misskey sites will no longer communicate with Mastodon.cloud.

Details concerning this version of Mastodon 4.1.25.

I've tried Tusky and Fedilab for Masto. Neither is terrible but like, both have probs that mean I have to use both.

Tusky:
- No quote support (still)
- Doesn't find all replies
- Emoji support weird

Fedilab:
- Can't load comments in long reply chain
- Refresh doesn't always work
- Hard to follow complex convos

...so what else is there to try?

TIL: when the Back button in Mastodon can not take me back to something, I can use the web browser to browse back.

Why has it taken more than two years for me to discover something so obvious?

Mir ist bewusst, dass es auf Mastodon sehr viel vor allem „progressive“ Hochmut gegenüber Süddeutschland und insbesondere Bayern gibt.

Gleichwohl muss ich doch als (nicht-bayerischer) Wissenschaftler klarstellen: #Bayern baut seit Jahren die erneuerbaren Friedens-, Wohlstands- und Heimatenergien massiv (!) aus, hat mehr Solarpaneele als Baden-Württemberg (Platz 2) und Nordrhein-Westfalen (Platz 3) zusammen!

Sogar der FW-Minister Aiwanger hat inzwischen kapiert, dass Landkreise wie Wunsiedel durch die Energiewende reicher werden!

Auch international ist #Solarboom in oft konservativem Umfeld, beispielsweise in #Pakistan. Erneuerbare #Wohlstandsenergien boomen, weil sie sich lohnen!

Die Solarpunk-Zukunft ist dezentral, also regional & föderal…

I'm trying to think of ways to introduce people to Masto and the Fediverse...

We'd need the equivalent of FB groups and it would be easy...

#mastodon

As capitalism has become worse, I've come to hate the experience of Microblogging a lot—

But if #Mastodon could just let me make multiple "feeds" by RegEx filtering the contents of my Home/Following feed, or of User Lists, that'd be enough. That'd be enough.

FediPunk ya está en línea.

Un sitio en español para moverse por el Fediverso sin perderse: directorio de instancias, guías, materiales para charlas y un relay para reforzar timelines por idioma, instancia o hashtag.

Gar nicht leicht, aus den amerikanischen Konzernen auszusteigen, #Linux-Lernen ist noch der einfachste Schritt, aber schon für die Wahl der #mastodon-instanz fehlt etlichen der Glaube an Freunde, die Orientierung:

am 2. Dienstag im Monat ist in #München wieder digital-treff bei http://heyalter.com/muenchen - entweder in der Stiftung http://gute-tat.de oder im Familientreff in Obergiesing ...

Kleines Fediverse-Phänomen: Ich poste auf Mastodon, mein Tröt landet auf Pixelfed, jemand auf Misskey boosted ihn, eine PeerTube-Instanz verlinkt ihn in der Beschreibung – und das alles ohne dass ein Algorithmus entschieden hat, ob ich "relevant genug" bin.

Das ist nicht Magie. Das ist einfach wie das Internet eigentlich gedacht war. 🕸️

Untuk #akkimo dan #snac, sepertinya tidak jadi kami uji. Karena seperti tadi disebut di awal, #mastodon + #glitch sudah sangat memuaskan dan kami rasa memang tidak tertandingi (lepas dari masalah resource nya yang besar).

Mastodon bisa markdown setelah pakai glitch-soc. Sepertinya pencarian server yang paling enak sudah selesai lepas ketidaksukaan atas bloat nya mastodon yang sebagian besar disebabkan penggunaan ruby. Belum lagi remote-media cache yg gk bs dimatiin.

Anggaplah emang jalanin mastodon bukan buat kaum "mendang-mending" ✌️ ✌️ ✌️ (bercanda dikit, jgn emosi)

Tapi bagaimanapun saya akuin mastodon paling enak dilihat tampilannya tanpa butuh app. UI nya bersih tapi usable.

#mastodon #glitch

@kernpanik @hikingdude

While #Mastodon allows migration between instances, the standard approach requires both instances to be active. If your own instance goes down (or you are banned from it), then that is no longer an option.

But if you use your backups, you can at least start on a new instance with your follows.

it looks like Bsky got seriously attacked and hacked today, major data compromise - so if you are using or following peeps who use the bridge I strongly suggest you block that

#Mastodon #BlueSky

Here is your usual reminder to regularly back up your #Mastodon user data (from settings/export).

This is particularly important for users of European instance - because if the #EuropeanUnion really makes age verification for social media mandatory, I suspect that a lot of admins will close their instances down rather than take on the legal risk.

This is pure #mastodon and how things work here. And this is exactly why people do not come here. Ignorance is a bliss and this social network is full of it …

Hello #Mastodon! Time for an #Introduction 🌿

I’m a designer passionate about #IntentionalLiving. I founded #CleverPrinty to create minimalist, tactile tools that help you reclaim focus from digital noise.

I design professional systems (printables) that transform boring discipline into visual, habit-building exercises. No more "app fatigue"—just you, a pen, and your goals.

Looking forward to connecting with #Creators and #Designers!

@ithoughtisawa2 @mathaetaes

When all communication breaks down and you reach a point where reaching out no longer has value, the goal becomes warning others.

So let me be blunt: I wanted him to be the last person to see this, in order to buy time.

As shown in the original post screenshot, I reached out and was consistently ignored. I even created a new account, and that was suppressed as well.

I’m also not the only person who has experienced this — so warning others was the point.

#InfoSec #Mastodon #Fediverse

@AmbianceAsunder @ithoughtisawa2 @mathaetaes

Sure, I can provide a screenshot from a direct message I sent 2 months ago.

But I would also like to provide a URL to his site showing how he suspends my account remotely. I have never been a member of his site, nor do I recall previously communicated with Jeffy before he took these actions.

As such, I doubt he he has any interest in even receiving my communication, or anyone else's for that matter.

Here is URL on how any account I have is displayed on Infosec.exchange

A screenshot that reads: @jerry@infosec.exchange If you could please explain why you keep hiding (suspending) my account remotely from your site, I would appreciate it. I have never joined infosec.exchange, and I do not recall ever communicating with you before, so I am confused by your actions.

RE: https://mstdn.thms.uk/@michael/116413353094001294

Really really really sad to see @Mastodon double down on this policy.

My own instance uses mstdn as a sub domain (and pre-dates the official trademark policy).

As it's impossible to change the domain of an instance I cannot even change it.

And I think it's really really really poor form by Mastodon to prevent this extremely common pattern of using a sub domain that identifies the software being deployed.

Really disappointed!

@alxhu @andypiper @mastodonlgbt I will take this as an update:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/38548/changes

22 people have come forward, so it isn't just me. But Jerry from Infosec doesn't want you know this.

So here is a screenshot of what is happening.

The problem is you may be missing people you follow or who wish to follow you, and you don't even know it because he's hiding it all from you.

#InfoSec #Fediverse #Mastodon

Alt...

I don’t know what @jerry has against me, but they always blacklist my account. I’ve asked about it and never received a reply. From what I understand, they do this to a number of other people — it’s not just me. The issue is that their 11,000+ users are unaware that their admin filters who they can and cannot follow. It would be one thing if they were filtering out hate speech, spam, and the usual nonsense. But people like me are pro-LGBTQ+, support trans rights and women’s rights, and are more progressive than Bernie Sanders. If @jerry simply didn’t like me personally, I could respect them blocking me themselves. But the fact that they make that decision for everyone means someone you follow can vanish without notice — and you’d be none the wiser.

People over at InfoSec really do have a censored viewpoint.

Hey Bluesky users... 🙋‍♂️

Good day to try Mastodon. We won't bite.

Join a server. We call them instances. Here are few great choices:

mstdn.social: https://mstdn.social/auth/sign_up A really great choice! EU based and run by @stux. Cats!

Vivaldi: https://social.vivaldi.net/about Yes, Vivaldi the browser, but you don't need the browser.

infosec.exchange: https://infosec.exchange/auth/sign_up Techies! Run by @jerry

Or just go to https://joinmastodon.org and pick one. It is hard to go wrong.

#Mastodon #Bluesky

Heads up, folks… This is going to be the last post I make from this instance as I am in the process of migrating to a GoToSocial instance on my own domain. If you want to get ahead of the migration, feel free to follow me using @goyo or plug https://gts.poquito.dev/@goyo into your instance’s search interface or your client. #Mastodon #GoToSocial #AccountMigration #Announcements

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 on the tunnel iface 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 :-)
