@roadriverrail ah ok. I'm sorry that you can't be safely out to your family, that's a crappy situation.

@roadriverrail I'm sorry, that's a tough situation. :people_hugging:

I understand why you'd want to hide that from her. But if family respect is the only reason, then I'd encourage you to reconsider. You're pretending to be someone that you're not, for the sake of someone who doesn't even know the real you. That can't be maintained forever, and the longer you wait, the harder it will be when you finally have to share the truth.

@split when I was in high school, several math websites were blocked for "prohibited educational content" and if that doesn't perfectly describe the US education system :blobfoxlaugh:

@feditips It seems like Mastodon may have split AUTHORIZED_FETCH into two separate toggles. To prevent scraping / public web access you have to also enable DISALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_API_ACCESS. With that disabled, the web interface will still work (but you lose most of the privacy benefits of AUTHORIZED_FETCH.

@feditips if that thread is correct, then Mastodon's implementation of Authorized Fetch is broken. When it's working, attempting to access anything through a web browser should return a 403 / similar error unless you log in. That's also how it works on Pleroma and Misskey.

@feditips I'm only aware of one reason not to, which is that it prevents people from browsing your profile for a vibe check or similar. But it's entirely your choice whether to care about that or not.

Had a shower thought / question about #ActivityPub. Would it be possible to develop a federated server without a media cache? I believe that it should be as long as the server is configured to proxy media requests back to the original source. This would, of course, greatly increase latency and decrease reliability (media is lost if the remote instance goes poof). But in exchange, it dramatically reduces the storage space needed to run an instance. That would reduce the cost of operating an instance on cheap VPS services. I can also think of a couple use cases around the current push to simplify instance hosting.

Anyone have thoughts on this? I'd love to hear them!
