[☠️] Chishiki611question for fedi sysadmins - on setting up "break glass" contingencies, domestic violence mention

Daniel AresC'mon guys, <a href="https://federation.network/tags/IPv6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IPv6</a> turned 30 this year 😔 <a href="https://federation.network/tags/mastoadmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastoadmin</a> <a href="https://federation.network/tags/fediadmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediadmin</a>

tetris nymph :tetris:hey <a href="https://cyberpunk.lol/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> i have a question!how friendly is the fediverse to subdomains? ie. if i set up an instance at foo.rachael.cafe, is there going to be conflict if i set up another at bar.rachael.cafe?=

Daniel AresIch schau mir aus eigenem Interesse gelegentlich mal Dinge wie Nutzungsbedingungen oder Datenschutzerklärungen von Instanzen an, über die ich so beim Surfen so stolpere und ich sag mal: ca. 50% haben scheinbar ein großes Gottvertrauen darauf, dass Abmahnanwälte nie das <a href="https://federation.network/tags/Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> entdecken :LULW: <a href="https://federation.network/tags/fediadmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediadmin</a>

liannaDumb question that I was always too afraid to ask:I know how the <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> and its federation works. It's intuitive and familiar to me; I mean, I even host my own instance.But I never understood how interaction cross-software is supposed to work. In theory, I can use whatever <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> software I want and still interact with everyone else. But in practice that just... isn't the case, right?I mean, for text it's quite simple: I write a short post on <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> and people on <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> or <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/misskey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Misskey</a> or whatever can see and read that same post and interact with it. They can see my profile and it appears on their instance in their style and with their features.Even outside of microblogging I still get it. A super-long post on <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Friendica</a> or <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/diaspora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Diaspora</a> appears on my timeline, too. Their profiles might have more fields than I can see here, but that's fine.But what's up beyond that?I can see <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pixelfed</a> posts here, converted into image galleries. But what about the other way 'round? If someone on Pixelfed follows my Mastodon account, they can't see any of my non-image posts, right?What about <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PeerTube</a> and such niche software? I guess I could follow a PeerTube account as a microblogger and see their videos and descriptions in my timeline. Video comments are replies.But the other way 'round? How are they supposed to interact with Friendica or Pixelfed users? PeerTube doesn't even have a "timeline".Doesn't that feature disparity undermine the whole idea of the <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> or am I missing something?<a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/fediadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>

NOCadminNun... alles sehr unerfreulich, aber diese Instanz wird aufgrund der Entwicklungen der letzten Tage nun zum Ende des Monats geschlossen. Ich kann damit einfach nicht umgehen, wenn mir der Rechtsstaat auf die Füße tritt und Dinge verlangt - ich kann nicht auf einen Anwalt zurück greifen, der mir dann solche Anfragen etc. überprüft und dann mit den Behörden kommuniziert. Danke übrigens an dieser Stelle an die Person, die sich bemüssigt gefühlt hat, gegen User*innen meiner Instanz, die ich privat betreibe und in die ich viel Herzblut gesteckt habe, vorzugehen. Dir gebührt ein besonderer Platz in meinem Herzen und in meine schlaflosen Nächte. :psyduck: /s Alle User*innen sind informiert und ich hoffe, dass sie sich einen sicheren Hafen suchen können und werden. Es tut mir definitiv in der Seele weh, dass es so weit kommen musste - aber so kann man eben auch eine Instanz deföderieren - besser als jeder FediBlock. Danke an alle für Euer Vertrauen, für Eure Unterstützung und für die schöne Zeit hier. Ich weiß nicht, was ich noch sagen kann. Macht's gut und Danke für den Fisch. <a href="https://ffs.antifa.club/tags/mastoAdmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastoAdmin</a> <a href="https://ffs.antifa.club/tags/FediAdmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> <a href="https://ffs.antifa.club/tags/SharkAdmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SharkAdmin</a> <a href="https://ffs.antifa.club/tags/defederation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#defederation</a> <a href="https://ffs.antifa.club/tags/exitFedi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exitFedi</a> <a href="https://ffs.antifa.club/tags/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> #

HazelnootPSA for Misskey/fork admins: Misskey relies on Redis for long-term data storage. It is not just a caching solution, and wiping redis will result in permanent data loss. This is contrary to most guides and documentation regarding redis, because Misskey is actually using it wrong. But unfortunately, lots of data is only stored in Redis with no way to re-create it from Postgres: - All notifications - Most timelines, if Fanout Timelines is enabled - Charts and graphs - Federation jobs, including delayed / scheduled jobs - Antennas (they "reset" and lose all posts) - User lists (they "reset" and lose all posts) - Trending hashtags / notes - Reversi games - User profiles (specifically the list of posts) If you ever lose or rollback your Redis cluster, then all of the above will be impacted. So please take regular backups! <a href="https://enby.life/tags/FediAdmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/Misskey" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Misskey</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/MisskeyAdmins" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MisskeyAdmins</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/Sharkey" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sharkey</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/SharkeyAdmins" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SharkeyAdmins</a> <a href="https://enby.life/tags/PSA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PSA</a>

NOCadminWenn ihr einen Instanz-Admin mal komplett am Boden erleben will, dann lasst ihm von einer Staatsanwaltschaft Post zukommen. Ich bin gerade am zittern, heulen und keine Ahnung... wie kann man das einem Menschen, der privat eine kleine Instanz betreibt, die nur ein paar User hat, überhaupt antun? Es geht nur ums "ich, ich, ich" und nicht darum, wen man da in den Abgrund reißt, der Freude an diesem Projekt hatte und psychisch eh schon massiv angeschlagen ist.. na danke! <a href="https://ffs.antifa.club/tags/fediadmin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediadmin</a>

Colto FoxColto Cloud has been DDoS'd twice this week by OpenAI running from both Meta Platforms Incorporated and Microsoft Corporation.They have in particular been targeting FloofTube by trying to download all of the videos.
