@patnat Dazu habe ich auch mal einen Talk an der #hka in Coop mit dem #vdi gehalten, dass/warum/wie wir alle unsere #linux #server automatisch #patchen (zuhause natürlich auch alles automatisiert!):

On another note, what are your favorite UPS systems for home use that don't break the bank? I'd like to keep my home server from dying an early death with these power outages. Any #homelab people out there with ideas? Anyone cobble together a #DIY UPS system? Is the answer just to spend $200 on an small APC brand system? #tech #server

@peertube @weblate Yes, sv_SE are at 100% for the #peertube #server, will look at the webpage and app projects after our holiday period.

Filed a bug: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/35813

Which is also a test for the patch ;)

#aside
I have added the environmental variable to the web, streaming and sidekiq services, confirmed that they all see the setting, and it is still being ignored. I will test this workaround by posting a link below, in the main thread #server #mastodon #bugfix #asca

Correction, see #aside here https://mastodon.mariobreskic.de/@mario/115050605879471525

#aside and #tldr
Running a solo Mastodon instance? Here's how to keep it clean and #gdpr compliant:
– Disable link previews: DISABLE_FETCH_PREVIEWS=true
– Purge old PreviewCards via Rails console
– Avoid federated content
– Self-author everything
– Host locally, anonymize IPs
Respectful publishing, no third-party hosting
#asca #server #mastodon #selfhosted #germany

#asca #server #mastodon #selfhosted #germany

And from there, I delete all #PreviewCards in #mastodon by using these commands:

1. docker compose exec web bash
2. RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console
And then I run this in the console: PreviewCard.destroy_all

This will run for a while but it should remove all stored preview cards from my mastodon server, for all posts.
And it worked. Just climb back up to my prompt by punching in “exit” until I am back home, and that issue has been fixed as well. #server #asca #mastodon #gdpr

Adding these lines to my application.env covered this issue

# do not fetch external resources
DISABLE_FETCH_PREVIEWS=true
DISABLE_EMBED_PREVIEW=true

I will need to go through my own feed next to ensure that there are no embeds left over. This is in addition to my recent purging of boosts: https://mastodon.mariobreskic.de/@mario/114982417840616548

Next thing I need to do is to turn off the mastodon-native “cards” for links, because I am future-proofing my self-hosted services against issues with the law here in Germany, especially regarding what is called “framing” here.
In short, I better not EVER have a picture anywhere on anything I self-host I have not explicitly acquired the rights to, or have made myself.
There is a whole gray market in Germany for suing the people for that. Fixing this next.

Aside: you can read how to do this here

https://doc.wallabag.org/user/configuration/rss/

Copy the #RSS link #wallabag puts out and add it as a source in #FreshRSS. And to my surprise, it actually links to the proper article instead of linking to the internal wallabag URL. I would’ve fixed it by parsing it in #huginn though, should it’ve behaved the way I expected it to #asca #server #aside

To continue: I am also running a #wallabag server which I use to store bookmarks and interesting reading material for myself. And while working in public on a social platform, my partner recommended that I use my wallabag favorites to add to our informational feed. And the process for outputting #RSS from wallabag is very easy: I just had to generate a token for that, and then I plugged in the output RSS into our #FreshRSS backend. #server #asca
