@npub108z…dkr5 @npub1q24…9zpe @npub1y6t…9wl9 Yeah, I remember that; I dug the IP out of Poast's logs, it was her residential net connection, and grabbed a list of the things she'd been searching for, but I didn't get very far past that. I remember you sending the link when they figured out exactly who she was, though I don't know how they got there.

Lemme just go ahead and tag everyone that reposted this: @npub1273…93ey @npub1v49…m9n7 @npub12ls…8llh @npub1a3e…tn2x @npub17ck…8txk @npub1ur8…w3z0 @npub1kxc…md5f @npub1f64…5rsj @npub1jk4…6r6y @npub1f7t…3yrk @npub13sk…5svv @npub14ve…qma0 . Then, to keep it under 16 people tagged, I'll just take out the National Just Podcasts guy, because he is an idiot.
I already discussed SB-686 April of last year. The short version is that anyone panicking about it right now is either unable to read the text of the bill ( https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686/text?format=txt&r=15&s=1 ) or they are shills.
Here is my commentary from last time, plop it into the search box on your instance, you will see it if it federated: https://freespeechextremist.com/objects/5f4bf372-9f53-4c3c-89f1-748f5989958d . For your convenience, while checking that the post did indeed federate everywhere, I kept the links and have dumped them here.
Here it is on bae.st: https://bae.st/notice/AUEfCTACQQixOlezyK
Here it is on SPC: https://shitposter.club/AUEfCoFTsulzO2kSPI
Here it is on Poast: https://poa.st/notice/AUEfCjyNXcOE4ejcQ4
As far as this time goes, here is a piece of advice: the consistent stream of low-quality lies pouring out of TikTok mean that if there is anything important going on and someone posts a goddamn TikeToke at you, the only rational course of action is rape correction. Do you want the rape correction, Terry?
This round of TakTak is even fucking dumber than last time:
> See Tiktok video
> Some guy is hand-wringing over some bill before the Senate
> Ha, that reminds me of when they were shitting themselves over that other bill.
> Tiktok promotes content that is in Tiktok's interest, so they do not mind nudging bullshit to the top of the list.
> They are shitting themselves over SB-686
> It's the same shit
> It's the same style but this time it is some "Hey, fello teenagers" guy with a backwards baseball cap instead of some bearded fatty
> He's just reading random definitions from the bill.
I remember this from last time. It's the same shit as last time. It's retarded.
> Reads the "criminal penalties" section
> "A person that willfully commits [...] an unlawful act described in subsection (a)"
> "THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU USE A VPN TO LOOK AT TIKTOK YOU WILL GO TO JAIL"
> That is not a violation of subsection (a)
The only way to violate subsection (a) is to own a service or sell a product as part of a business that operates under the jurisdiction of a "foreign adversary" and has more than 1m users/customers in the US, or to do things like attempt to conceal that you are a Chinese company by using cutouts, which Chinese companies have been doing since forever, and which all of that "attempts to circumvent" stuff is about. See attached.
YOU CANNOT VIOLATE THIS ACT AS A PRIVATE US CITIZEN JUST BY USING A VPN TO LOOK AT TIKTOK
THAT IS GODDAMN RETARDED
THE BILL MENTIONING VPNs DOES NOT MEAN VPNs ARE ILLEGAL
HE HAS COMPLETELY FABRICATED THE "if you knowingly did so to access banned content" SHIT BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE CCP SENDS HIM SCRIPTS OR SOMETHING
HE GOES ALL THE WAY OFF THE FUCKING RAILS WITH THE SURVEILLANCE BULLSHIT
THERE IS ALL KINDS OF AWFUL SURVEILLANCE BULLSHIT, BUT YOU ARE NOT A COVERED ENTITY
UNLESS INSTAGRAM IS SOLD TO CHINA, HE IS FULL OF SHIT ABOUT THAT PART, TOO
HE CLOSES WITH "It really is that bad and I am not speaking in hyperbole" AND IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS AS BAD AS HE SAYS, THEN HE WOULD HAVE READ THE BILL.
IF YOU LISTEN TO ANYTHING THIS GUY SAYS AFTER THIS VIDEO, GIVEN HOW COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT HE IS ON THIS POINT, THEN YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED.
> Everyone freaking out about it this time is worse than the people that freaked out about it last time because it is the same nothingburger as last time
I could dig up my old posts about this when everyone was freaking out last time, or you could go to https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/686/text?s=1&r=15 and look at section 3, "ADDRESSING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT POSE UNDUE OR UNACCEPTABLE RISK" and read it. That section is where the meat is, the rest is just scaffolding: definitions (which do not matter out of context, like this dipshit reading off definitions; it's just a list of products that are covered), penalties, etc., might sound scary out of context but that is why they are being read out of context. This bill doesn't even ban Tiktok, it literally just gives Commerce the authority to evaluate and possibly veto some transactions
EVERYONE WHO GETS NEWS ABOUT THE LAW BY WATCHING A VIDEO ON TIKTOK GETS WHAT THEY FUCKING DESERVE
NOT ONLY IS TRUSTING TIKTOK TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA EXACTLY LIKE TRUSTING THE NEW YORK TIMES TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CIA OR TRUSTING RT TO GIVE YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT PUTIN, IT IS A GODDAMN VIDEO AND I HATE SITTING THROUGH THIS SHIT
FOR EVERY PERSON THAT STIRS UP A PANIC ABOUT THIS SHIT WITHOUT ACTUALLY LOOKING TO SEE IF IT IS COMPLETE HORSESHIT, I WILL BASH A FOLDING CHAIR OVER THAT PERSON'S HEAD WHILE THE REF ISN'T LOOKING :randysavage:

@npub1ajw…aj8d @npub1pv2…4kk8 Since fedilist has been running for a little over three years, if I was planning something evil, surely I would have gotten around to it by now.
Since I can't see OP, just the subject line that has ended up in other people's posts (maybe woem.men blocks SPC), I guess I'll address it here with the hope that it somehow gets to that admin.
> fedi meta, scraper advisory for admins
It's not a scraper; it doesn't try to get any content, it uses only well-known API endpoints, and it only fetches the stuff that every Misskey instance fetches, for example. It clearly identifies itself in the user-agent and doesn't try to get around it if people reject requests from that UA. It even respects the `discoverable` flag on the admins' profiles. (And it has help text for same: http://demo.fedilist.com/p/discoverable .) There are actual scrapers around, and they are way less friendly and are way less open about what they are doing and why. (Hi, @npub1sqr…qs4m !) When fediverse.network went down, I wanted something like it, and no one made something like it, so I did. It's never been the highest-priority project, like I mostly add stuff to it when someone asks or when I have a question about something going on in the network.
The point of the project is that it is hopefully useful to admins and people curious about the network, as well as most of fedi. It saves me having to look up who admins are, whether something weird is going on with an instance, it shows the instance description without requiring a bunch of JavaScript, it lists the source code repositories for the instances that report them ( http://demo.fedilist.com/source-code ), it lists the instances where something unusual is going on ( http://demo.fedilist.com/hockeystick ), there are CSVs and RSS feeds for almost every page, you can see the newest instances ( http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/newest ), the front page has fedi-wide statistics, you can point an RSS reader at an instance's status changes page and see when it goes up or down; I use it to monitor instances I use ( http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/recent-changes?host=shitposter.club ) or run ( http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/recent-changes?host=freespeechextremist.com ) so that I can see if there's downtime or if it's my net connection. You can search for instances by name, description, whether they are on Tor or the clearnet, whether registrations are open or closed or invite-only or approval-only.
That has been useful. There are a lot of pieces of software and it can be difficult to figure out what's going on with an instance. If there's a lot of spam coming from it, but you can see that eight hours ago it just had three users and it has open registrations, then probably the admin is asleep and not malicious. We also used it to figure out where the activitypub-troll.cf peers got into the network (sorting the list of instances by peer count, it became obvious when some of them had 100k peers), and that is how we found out that it got Misskey worse than Mastodon, even, and we were able to ping the affected admins (at least the ones that didn't block us). The hockeystick page linked above was created as a response to that, so instances that are acting unusual (relative to their own previous behavior) are highlighted.
There's already fediverse.observer and it's more useful for people that are just joining, so they can find an instance, but the data that's useful to people that are already here is a little different, fediverse.space always looked cool.
The data is all there so that it's open and accessible to anyone using fedi, with the hope that it's useful to people. There's nothing devious going on, it's exactly what it says it is.

@npub1lwt…q3ry
> why do you hate ipv6?
I named the screenshots of the posts I made about IPv6 "everyone_please_stop_asking_me_why_i_hate_ipv6.png" and "ffs_please_please_stop_asking_me_about_ipv6.png". The reason I named them that was so that, hopefully, people would stop asking me about it, but here we are again.
The notation is ugly and error-prone (for humans as well as machines), we do not need 128 bits (they were allocated because some dicks in the 90s thought that literally every appliance needed an IP address, this was the actual argument), IPv6 has been trying really hard at relevance since the 90s and nobody really wants it, ISPs still aren't ready, private networks still aren't ready (this will have consequences), everything this guy says is correct ( https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810 and https://tailscale.com/blog/two-internets-both-flakey/ ), and finally, the sales pitch (always delivered by people that refuse to address or acknowledge any of the shortcomings or practical realities), which alternates between utopianism and trying to scare people, is full of lies about how IPv6 solves *everything* (I have heard "adopt our protocol/language/OS/whitespace-conventions and your life will be beautiful forever" before and it is always a lie; in this case, it uncaps a limitation, which is good, but "corrects" some perceived ugliness with worse ugliness) and how IPv4 is going to go away (not in the lifetime of anyone that is here to read this) and how it doesn't matter if you can remember an IP address or not (let alone transcribe one over the phone) and how routing tables (don't even mention BGP) are not already a pain to debug and how their One True Solution is the only conceivable solution. I can rattle that off the top of my head because I have been asked a million times.
IPv6's worst feature has no technical solution, though, and that feature is it's hardline proponents. Very few people talk about IPv6 otherwise; I have only met one or two people on fedi that could discuss it without yelling.
The people pushing it start yelling at you if you say that you don't have a reason to care about IPv6 and will not touch it until you have to. I found this out because I don't have a reason to care about IPv6 and I won't touch it until (or unless) I have to, and I made remarks to that effect. Every time I say something in the vicinity of that, IPv6 partisans start yelling at me, exactly the same way that you expect from people who are in denial about how fundamentally stupid their pet issue is: they've come to perceive apathy as persecution, because gaining any amount of perspective would force them to conclude that it's nothing to get worked up about, and then they'd have no excuse to focus on their pet issue instead of the actual problems they are avoiding by yelling at a stranger on the internet about IPv6, Wayland, loli hentai, hearing a gamer word, not being allowed to say gamer words at their workplace, all of the articles of faith surrounding who goes into which bathroom, Israel and Palestine, Russia and Ukraine, the 'rona, the Holocaust, the Holodomor, whether Hitler did anything evil or everything evil, whether the USSR was real socialism, almost any religious schism. (All fun topics until you run into someone that Cares way too much to have any perspective or a sense of humor about any of it.) You say "I don't care much about that" and they treat it like an attack, because it has caused them pain: if you care and you're on their side then you're an ally and $thing is important, if you care and you hate it then you're an enemy but $thing's importance is still uncontested, but if you really don't care and you say it, then you have put a hairline fracture into the dam that keeps the flood away and have pushed them that much closer to having to cope with their divorce or weird relationship with a parent or shitty job or no job or prior convictions for sexual assault or whatever. So they start trying to fight you and if you get upset then the thing is important and you must have just been lying because you are one of Them, or if you don't then they'll start grasping, they'll proudly announce that you really *are* mad, then declare victory and retreat, anything to keep their thoughts from wandering in the vicinity of how much their life sucks and especially the deepest part of the forbidden zone, the question of how many of the negative results were their own fault and whether or not they might need to fix something.
Anyway, long way of saying I think IPv6 is ugly and I don't like it, but I don't have a reason to care yet and am thoroughly sick of shouty advocates for anything. IPv6 doesn't exist if you ignore it.

The difference is that I am not convinced it's plausible rather than that I am convinced it's implausible. The whole thing seems a little unlikely, but someone calling the secret service is more likely.
What I *am* convinced they would not do is call someone and say, "We're gonna call your employer and tell them you're super racist on the internet!" Presumably we'll find out soon enough from either the news or creamqueen.

Yes. I put in a bid with a company that was building one for ISIS Twitter accounts a long, long time back, when that kind of thing didn't make me projectile-vomit immediately. Then there's this company down in Orange County that uses Elixir to do automatic transcription and keyword search of phone calls made from prison: https://leotechnologies.com/careers/ . There are a million like this.

Regular cops and the Secret Service are very different.

Sure, that's local cops, though. They are investigating different things than the Secret Service and for different reasons and with different staff. The FBI is closer to local law enforcement than the Secret Service, but the FBI has a direct pipe, they just ask and receive.

You could reason it out for nothing: it's easy to spoof a number, nobody makes a threat unless they want to compel you without having to do anything, nobody makes a smaller threat than they could plausibly make, and this matches the "dumb kids on internet playing mind games" M.O. perfectly. Why would the Secret goddamn Service say "We'll call your job and tell them you were racist!" instead of "We'll haul you in front of a DOJ prosecutor"? And I'd like to see one--one!--example where the Secret Service did this. The cops don't even do this, but the Secret Service is not a department that complains about budget shortfalls, and they have a habit of popping into people's houses unexpectedly.

They show up at your house. They don't call your cell. You get, like, syndicated cartoonists being interrogated by the Secret Service over a doodle of the president, right, they don't just call you.
> I'm still weirded out that no one's contacted me.
Yeah, they probably would have asked you instead of stalking @npub1x6h…c3yv from a license plate number. They don't have time to do that. They will if they've got to, but first they ask you, then either they subpoena or threaten you, then they show up at someone's house. They don't give you a warning, it's the Secret Service, they'll just refer it to local law enforcement if it's not worth making an arrest.
> They also told him it was his "first strike" and that if he did it again they'd tell his employer about how he was being racist online which strikes me as a really odd thing for a fed to do. Maybe they just think they can scare him straight?

@npub1cxy…9d6t @npub1y6t…9wl9 @npub1zhj…kmgu Yeah, especially since they seemed to probe it, like they'd hit an account that got banned, then immediately go to the registration page. For a while, there were so many of them searching for a specific Pawoo account that I killed off any IP that searched for that account (only one post had federated to FSE, picture of a child and a mega.nz link from an account that had already been banned from Pawoo, so I made an educated guess; I killed that account and anyone that had interacted with the post). I think the only time I ever *automatically* killed IPs just for a search term, usually it would ping me and I'd look.
The nice thing about them is they can be analyzed after the fact for diagnostics. The bad thing about them is they can be analyzed after the fact for feds. The compromise was I'd keep just two days and change around usually, enough that I could spot problems but not enough that I was creating an incentive to send me a subpoena or show up with a warrant. Sometimes I'd keep around aggregates (mostly performance stuff, or when I was trying to figure out why I got a $500 bandwidth overage bill) or excerpts (e.g., if something weird was going on, I'd grep the file for the weirdness and squirrel it away so if it happened again, I could check if it was the same thing or something else).

If you know how nginx works, you can pick up lighttpd in fifteen minutes. Precedence is easier to read, you don't have so many rules about what block something has to be in (so if you want "/robots.txt" to always point to the same file for every vhost, you can just put that at the top), you don't have to size hash tables manually. Just a little nicer overall.

Yes.

That part I don't know, because I don't know how Minecraft works. If Minecraft uses HTTP for that, then yes. I do know that LetsEncrypt tooling kinda hates lighttpd for some reason.

We were just kids, graf. And they put us in the middle of that Apache httpd 1.3 hell. I can see every detail of the villages we burned. I can hear the screams, right here, it's like they never stopped. My God, I can feel the heat from the flames! I had to cover my buddy at the network console, it was chaos. Mortar rounds landing, they always seemed like they were an inch away, hostiles shoulder to shoulder, maybe a yard away, maybe a mile, but they felt like they were towering over us. I was terrified but there was nowhere to run, nothing around us but enemies and the dead, I couldn't even hear him typing, but he kept nudging me. I kept them off, though I don't know how. He nudged me again and so I turned around and told him I was kinda busy, but he just slumped, and jutting out of his neck were two massive, bracketed tags, <Shrapnel> and </Shrapnel>, and I realized I'd been providing cover fire for a dead man this entire time. I didn't have time for the init scripts, I just rebooted the damn box. How I got out of there, I don't know, it was like a blood-drenched nightmare that gradually subsided--I hope to God none of them were friendlies--and then when I regained my senses, I was walking down a quiet road towards the grey, pre-dawn sun.

(It's also not probably still what Youtube uses, but they probably use a fork of it anyway and it handled Youtube when it was on the way up and long after the Google acquisition.) I run it in a lot of places because nginx, in addition to not supporting CGI (which I need for stuff sometimes), nginx has a really rude config file, and one of lighttpd's early selling points was "The configuration file format is not like Apache's". <Location></Location>, motherfuckers!
