@fristi From what I understood from chat; The new phoenix framework allowed some code to be simplified. This was done and all tests passed. But now, in production, it turns out that this caused the inbox url from local accounts to loose it's protocol+domain part. Nothing was wrong immediately, until someone on latest develop changed their profile. This update also made the "inbox" url just be "/inbox" instead of the full url.
Other instances started fetching the updated profile (either because they received an Update activity, or because they refetch from time to time), so now they also had this profile with "/inbox" as the inbox url.
And then the problem was that when making a post, akkoma tried to deliver to /inbox, which is not possible bc it's not an url, so it failed and blocked the whole queue. -

I couldn't get this out of my head, so I hereby present the Anti-Attribution License (4d is the extra stipulation, the rest was just getting the references to Creative Commons out (by which I hope I didn't break a license)). Am not a lawyer, yadayadayada
Anti Attribution Legal Code AA0 1.0 Universal DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER. Statement of Purpose The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work"). Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and efforts of others. For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating AA0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply AA0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of AA0 on those rights. 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under AA0 may be protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to, the following: i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, and translate a Work; ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness depicted in a Work; iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in a Work; vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof, including any amended or successor version of such directive); and vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof. 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date AA0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 4. Limitations and Disclaimers. a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law. c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the Work. d. You shall attribute yourself, and not the affirmer as the creator of the work.

@lanodan Would an option to do "static except these specific things" make sense? :blobfoxthink: Or are we just back at square one then? Because if OpenSSL can be such a problem, I assume distros make sure they have the newest version any how, so it wouldn't create the compatibility issues we see now. Or am I seeing things too simplistic? -

@lanodan what's the problem with that? Is it that OpenSSL needs to be easily/more quickly updateable? -

is there any one smart enough to file an issue somewhere to get the Elixir release builds be static builds? So we don't need all these flavours any more and people can just drop the binary on w/e distro they have as long as the cpu architecture is good. (As I understand, that should be possible with static builds, right?)
I guess having dynamic builds makes sense for corporations who control their infra, but for floss projects, that just seems like a bother in a lot of cases...
I'm not smart enough. I don't know where to ask, how to ask, and if they want more information, I'll probably not even understand the question :/ -

a hack i've been thinking of i also want to try someday.
When your instance goes down, you get annoying 500 errors, right. But what if you can set a retry in the http proxy and tell it to retry for several seconds. You could basically restart while it looks like you still have uptime, hehe (just bigger latency).
And a quick glance tells me something like that may be possible in Caddy by using the load balancers lb_try_duration and lb_try_interval. And yes, this is load balancing settings, but who's to say you can't have a load balancing setup with only one node :blobfoxcomfysmirk: -

As the fediverse grows, moderators and administrators will need tools to help with moderation. In particular I propose to send all posts to X. X can determine if a post should be blocked before it is distributed via ActivityPub. I propose an architecture in which the origin server makes a single call to X, and then relays an attestation to all recipient servers. The recipient server can then check the attestation and decide whether to accept the message, without requiring additional calls to X. -

y' know what'd be nice to have. An exporter that dumps all posts and stuff into Activity Stream representation. And then an importer to get all of it back in. I'm thinking this should be possible in *oma. First dump everything in a big json or csv. Then have a mix task to pass the objects one by one to the pipeline. And the fetcher can be changed so that it doesn't fetch over http, but reads from the dump.
It wouldn't fully solve migrating softwares bc not all software use the same iri-schema for representing things, but it could be a start. And bc it would use AS, it's already using a standard representation everyone understands. -

@Moon it's an operating system written by someone named Richard Stallman. He prefers to call it gnu+linux bc the linux mascot is a gnu (which is a type of penguin) -

@lain Hey, and welcome to Mastodon, Katy! May I suggest you use the #instroduction hashtag for better discoverability. You see, here on Mastodon we don't have full text search because only people who want to harass people would ever want to search things. Anyhow, welcome to Mastodon, I hope you have a tooting time! -

Dear Rachel,
Thank you for your email and interest in our product and services, my Fediverse related consultancy fee is 10.000 10grans for each started hour.
If this is acceptable to you, please do forward the details so I can make up a contract.
I understand the conversation will be OTR. As a first word of advise (by reading further you agree with the consultancy fee as described in the first paragraph of this email, and understand that you, or the legal entity you represent, will be billed for this advise accordingly), I propose to use OMEMO instead of OTR. OMEMO has better user experience, and, due to it's use of double ratchet, has better confidentiality.
Kind regards,
ilja -

With all the drama going on, if any one is looking for an art-focused instance, maybe check veenus.art
The instance has a sane blocking policy, allowing broad federation, and it's admin is someone who's known to put a lot of effort in keeping the instance run well for the people who use it. -
