@arcanicanis@silverpill I’m getting a feeling that device attestation is going to be used incorrectly to whitelist specific hardware (force some hardware feature like bio-metrics) and someone’s going to get burned by a software implementation and dumped keys.
@alex@graf@Moon@zero The post from the image isn’t real (the front end won’t accept it, and I’m too lazy to specially craft it), but it’s based off of this one https://bae.st/notice/AQ0i0s5q5tL4xLzW40 that does have a div on its local instance and my own.
@alex@graf@Moon@zero Disabling inline images is likely not a complete fix for this by the way. At least with Pleroma, the main problem is that somehow a div isn’t getting scrubbed out, so just removing imgs isn’t going to stop someone from doing pic related.
@arcanicanis I don’t know if it’s still the case, but be careful with Iron Wolf 8TB drives. I got 8 of them last year to replace some SMR ones, and they run really hot. The old ones peaked around 40 degrees whereas the Iron Wolves have hit 60 degrees under the same conditions. I’ve had the airflow temperature S.M.A.R.T. attribute go off a couple times already. They already get the freshest air being right behind three fans, so I’m honestly considering getting so small heatsinks to epoxy onto them to try and help.
@Ryle@shadowferret@arcanicanis >I’ve also had a few admins from other servers create empty accounts as you describe, but they follow a bunch of accounts back on their server to kind of force them to show up in the servers’ feed.
…despite how time-consuming and monumental that objective sounded in the beginning. And I got there. It was very rewarding to me…
I’ve been curious about this; many of times I’ve seen people describe overcoming a challenge in a video game as rewarding or satisfying, and I’m not sure I understand what they’re saying. Does the feeling come from some epiphany in understanding of game-play mechanics? Maybe I’m broken, but the only times I’ve felt satisfied, beyond filling a base need, was having a hypothesis turn out to be true: annoying a chess player by blocking his strategy 5 moves out, fixing a double click issue on an old mouse by bending its spring into shape, etc. Granted, it can happen in a videogame, but never from getting the feel for something.
@freemo@Romaq Where did you learn the phrase “Free Speech” from? Truthfully, what did you think it meant? It’s not just you, but I’ve been seeing people over and over again singing its praise, yet when it comes to actually demonstrate the principle where it’s needed most, it gets abandoned.
@Mr_NutterButter@beardalaxy The thing is, though, is that one needs to be of a right mind to absorb philosophical teachings. One of the problems I have with compulsorily reading is that the compulsed will very rarely think about the material beyond the surface level and will usually be put off from reading the material again at a time where he would have a better understanding of it. How many high school students read Romeo and Juliet and earnestly take it as a warning about young love, for example, instead of the-thing-we-have-to-read-in-class-with-antiquated-English?
if server implementations don’t explicitly filter it, it can be done.
I guess that’s a better question: are there any ActivityPub clients that tolerate bare IPs? IIRC email also supports bare IPs, but no one is willing to take mail without a domain, so the ability is moot. I would have expected to find someone posting from an IP, but I haven’t seen it yet. I might have to try it myself.
As for having the ID tied to a specific IP, I’ve seen enough dirty migrations that I think a sizable amount of people just don’t care. It’s sad that ActivityPub chose URIs as a means of identification instead of something more location agnostic like public/private key signing.
@PhenomX6@ryo Now I'm wondering if ActivityPub works on bare IPs. I want to see @GigaChad@203.0.113.123 posting about the total destruction of TLDs and DNSes off his home IP.
As a means to motivate myself to work on it, here's my attempt at an Activity Pub server: https://a-puc.social/. There's a write up on the page about it, but the gist is that I wanted a front end that didn't bring my browser to a crawl and wasn't designed around the contemporary idea of "only the present matters." It's still very early on, so don't expect to be using it any time soon.
Also see @ne's active project: http://wormhole.nekobit.net/. We both had almost the same idea simultaneously, to make an Activity Pub server in C++. He'll probably finish his first though, so make sure to follow him.
@icedquinn It’s pretty easy on Linux. Git clone the code repo, download the model weights (you’ll need a hugging face account), set up the conda environment by following the README, and call the txt2img.py script. There’s a little more involved if you want to disable the watermark or NSFW filter, and you’ll need an Nvidia GPU with a bunch of VRAM to actually run the thing (I can barely run it with 8 GBs and that’s at half precision). I’m also pretty sure some people have made easier to setup forks, and I think someone has even made a Windows GUI program for it, too.
