feld (feld@bikeshed.party)'s status on Friday, 30-Aug-2024 00:15:38 JST feld @mint yeah as far as I can tell the user agent tricks don't work anymore. They're doing fingerprinting on the raw traffic plus IP address / AS lookups and blocking you with a 403 if they're pretty sure it's not a real browser -

Tried from residential connections and a few different datacenters, IPv4 and IPV6. They all get the 403. -

feld (feld@bikeshed.party)'s status on Thursday, 29-Aug-2024 03:11:34 JST feld We're having problems with link previews / rich media and there's nothing we can do about it. I suspect Mastodon instances have the same problem but just haven't noticed yet.
Originally we had issues with link previews to social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, etc. The OpenGraph/TwitterCard meta tags were not there unless you had 'Bot' in your User Agent string or in some cases you literally needed 'Twitterbot' in there. This is how Telegram works actually -- their User Agent is 'Telegrambot (like Twitterbot)'.
This doesn't work anymore. I see a ton of 403s to normal websites.
I try with curl, change user agent, etc. Always a 403. The error message says you need to enable javascript and disable your ad blocker. It also returns an HTTP header that indicates they think you're a web scraper.
But how does this work for Telegram etc then? Well, their IP ranges must be on a whitelist at the CDN level.
I've confirmed Fastly and CloudFlare are doing this but I don't know how it works. It's probably an opt-in anti-abuse feature that companies are enabling. -

feld (feld@bikeshed.party)'s status on Wednesday, 28-Aug-2024 05:19:16 JST feld At some point I still want to merge in a 5 Second Rule feature into Pleroma
basically let you configure the time that activities sit in the queue before being published so you can truly "cancel" or "undo" an action without it ever being delivered to a server
It's not that it's hard to do, it's just so low priority... -

> Explain it to me like I'm in kindergarten
The student is the employee and the teacher is the employer but the teacher has tenure and there's nothing you can do to punish them or change the balance of power -
