I miss Spring... I need a better weather.
I don't know if it is due to climate change, but, for several years, it seems there is only two seasons: Winter and Summer

Since I have put online a bunch of zim files on zim.pollux.casa, many bots are crawling them. I don't understand why they are scanning my wikipedia copies. The original sites are certainly more efficient.

Some are clearly identified by their user agent, but others try to hide themselves under stupid user agent fingerprint...

Here are some examples :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.212.0 Safari/532.0

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:22.0) Gecko/20130405 Firefox/22.0

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/10.10 Chromium/17.0.963.65 Chrome/17.0.963.65 Safari/535.11

Who is using Chrome 4.0 or Firefox 22.0, and Ubuntu 10.10 ???

Unfortunately, kiwix-serve (serving zim files on my machine) does not provide a robots.txt file to avoid these crawlers, I had to forbid access at web server level (lighttpd) according to the useragent string.

$HTTP["useragent"] =~ "(?i)spider|tiktokspider|claudebot|googlebot|meta-external|scrapy|sogou|petalbot|dotbot|mj12bot|crawl|bingbot|yandex|baidu|duckduckbot|facebook|amazon|grok|facebot|slurp|exabot|ahrefs|mj12bot|semrush|perplexity|gptbot|chatgpt|ccbot" {
    url.access-deny = ("")
}

but faked user agents continue to crawl 😐​

Creating A GoToSocial Instance on FediHost
Toggle visibility
GoToSocial is probably the best way to get yourself onto the fediverse at the lowest price possible. It's an excellent choice for solo instances and enables you to migrate both to and from Mastodon. FediHost has GoToSocial in beta for free if you want to try it out. Simply [create a fedihost account](https://fedihost.co/register) and request access to the beta program by emailing support@fedihost.co

Hello nerds, another #GoToSocial bugfix release :) Turns out 0.18.2 wasn't the last one after all.

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.18.3

This one fixes a bug with domain subscriptions with orphan adoption, which could cause entries for the subscription to not be created. An important bugfix for island networks that rely on allowlist subscription(s) to keep everyone in the network on the same allowlist(s).

Also small wording changes on the frontend, and a fix for an issue that could cause error messages to be swallowed on startup.

If you're updating to this version from v0.18.0, v0.18.1, or v0.18.2, it's a very easy update with no db migrations or config file changes :)

If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.18.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.18.0, but replace 0.18.0 with 0.18.3 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.18.x contains some very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully.

Someone reminded me today 9 years ago I submitted my first post on Mastodon—using curl on the command line, since there was no interface at the time. That's how the journey began! 9 years is a long time to be doing something. Those early years are still fresh in my mind though.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 89 ✨

Oh #PeerTube, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.

This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?

Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS 😱

Why?

My current setup:

1️⃣ 5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
2️⃣ 5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) #Ghost blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).

Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my #Debian VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?

I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.

What would you do?

And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of #Hetzner…

My BF is discovering the Fediverse...

He compares it to the email system. Many servers and domains, all able to communicate each other.

😘 👏
