@meso Oh, that's fucking stupid. Anyway, Namecheap is probably the only good registrar left. Epik has a laughably shitty web UI that barely works, got purchased and immediately stared complaining about hate speech on Twitter and who knows how good their security really is. Njalla outright just seizes your domain whenever they want to, because it's ran by the pirate bay owners who really like antifa. And Cuckflare is well... Cuckflare.
@meso Porkbun has a history of seizing domains whenever they like to based on their hate speech clause somewhere buried in their TOS. They basically pull the same shit Hetzner does.
@feld@dvl@SlicerDicer A dead battery that fails immediately after getting put under a load probably doesn't hold voltage and might have higher internal resistance. That's how I would check it. Alternatively putting a small load like a few 12 volt halogen bulbs and watching the voltage might also do the trick. A dead battery should drop voltage quicker than others.
@snacks@meso It's also looks like the dates and time are lies. They don't represent reality. Ignore the newest post, I've fetched that one through IEx manually.
Try running pleroma_ctl remote or whatever is the right command to get into IEx and run this command Pleroma.Object.Fetcher.fetch_object_from_id("https://transfem.social/notes/a2yvk641e0s800mg") It should spew out tons of debug output and end with {:ok, %Pleroma.Object{...}}.
If you are blocked and they have signed fetch enabled (probably do), you should get something like {:fetch, {:error, :forbidden}}. At least that's what Mastodon gives out.
If you can force fetch the objects, their federation is just broken in true Sharkey fashion.
@meso@snacks Or, it could be that the last request was 9 months ago, which doesn't really check out. <time>m should be minutes, but unmodified misskey has "min" to denote minutes.
What's weird is that there are apparently zero users anybody from Netzsphaere follows and nobody from TFS follows a Netzsphaere user. That's certainly strange.
@meso@snacks I don't really know. The last request was 9 minutes ago (as can be seen in the screenshot). But also the latest change was 9 minutes ago, so that might be the time of block.
@Suiseiseki@snacks Basically all pisskey forks removed that API from the public. Sharkey doesn't show the "blocked" instances as a filter in the /instance-info route and Iceshrimp removed the federation tab completely (probably only for unauth access). There's basically no way to tell without looking at the logs which might have some error usually related to signed fetch (I know Mastodong does that, put I have no idea about *key).
@snacks Doesn't seem like it, but Netzsphaere isn't in the federated instance list. Looks like the same bug I have with MKAB, where posts get to me only when I force fetch them, or someone reacts to them in some way. Probably a Sharkey thing. image.png
@mint I've updated FE back to the newest develop. There is some improvement in loading speed. Initial load in a Brave private windows takes ~5 seconds and a refresh takes about a second or two. About the same with FF. Tor takes around 11 seconds to load and refreshes take about the same (maybe Tor throws away some cache on refresh).
Online ads aren't a thing for me, so the level of exposure is already small. What usually bothers me are ads in public spaces and billboards. You can't really escape those without living somewhere remote.
@Alex@mischievoustomato@icedquinn@RustyCrab@sun Glad to know that this form of mind control isn't working on me. The chance of me buying a product goes down exponentially the more ads I see about it.
@sun@mischievoustomato@icedquinn@RustyCrab That's sadly nothing new outside of very mainstream searches and websites. You deviate slightly and you are bombarded with a bunch of fake download buttons, "security" popups and outright malware links. A good example is the Crystal Dew World (crystaldisk... site).
The problem with ads I've encountered is that some people like them for whatever reason. They like that they are relevant to something they are looking to buy or might want and arguing with them, that it's usually a waste of money at best and a security risk at worst isn't worth it. You simply cannot change their mind. One might say they are too far gone.
