“Bypass YT lock to display thumbnails and titles”
I don't know if it's on the same topic. I don't want a tracker, with or without a youtube thumbnail. I also gave above the example, in the Fediverse, of #Diaspora, which displays thumbnails without any tracker:
https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg

Furthermore, I had noticed that even when closing Firefox, which deletes all cookies, and then relaunching the Loma page, the trackers were still there. That's what I didn't understand.

« Bypass YT lock to display thumbnails and titles »
Je ne sais pas si ça parle du même sujet. Moi, je ne veux pas de traqueur, avec ou sans vignette youtube. J'ai aussi donné plus haut l'exemple, dans le Fediverse, de #Diaspora, qui affiche des vignettes sans aucun traqueur :
https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg

En outre, j'avais constaté que même en fermant Firefox, ce qui efface tous les cookies, puis en relançant la page Loma, les traqueurs étaient encore là. C'est ça que je ne comprenais pas.

Dear studi0 community

We decided to add an #element #matrix #privateSpace #chatRoom to our setup and called it: tupambaeORGstudi0
Please be patient in any case as this is complete #Neuland for the admin in charge.

At least he managed to onboard a filmmaker, photographer and writer as the first step to understand how invites work!

So, hi there!
.. self-hosting based in Paris, France newbie @ elena@aseachange.com, director of The Illusionists documentary and #FOSDEM2025 traveler for your new proyect:
💌 #TheFutureIsFederated
The one who host's here 📷 photos apparently at @ ele@photos.elenarossini.com.

To begin with we created 3 rooms:

• studi0 community
• APP tutorials

  
  and as the first officialy approved project
  @jesuiSatire …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ managed to trigger:

• Projekt wahlKarnavalKrampf #foFritzMertz

In the @EDIT | don't follow! profile we creatd already a postString for that Projekt with a very limited time horizon.

Next step will probably be creating a activityPub #podcast handle on cast.tupambae.com by @utopiArte, the admin over there, as content colection and conversation about the idea itself in the EDITing post is already up and running.
Part of the details concerning the cast domain is to figure out how to organize the tools #castopod gives us at hand as it looks like it has quite interesting options to organize cooperation, as stated briefly in a tutorial page created on that site, result of the #learningBYdoing process while installing it: brief Castopod tutorial

Last but not least, we are still trying to drag @lizzischmidt the creator and promotor of the #sundayGimp community experience that is alive and running for over a decade on #diaspora* on to our shores, but federation with diaspora, from a technical point of view, definitely has seen better times in the past. Maybe this very cross community chat option, added right here and now, can help to improve the communication for all of us.

This inicial publication will federate quite well out into the vast space of the #fediVerse, but to see comments from the diaspora bubble and the #activityPub sphear, youll have to visit this original page on this friendica server.
Unless of course you are friendican yourself.

So, with no more further introduction, let's jam the #fediFolks!

Hello everyone,
More and more pods are shutting down and even if the code to allow an account to migrate from one pod to another is not officially merged yet (see the merge request), I didn’t want to stay without doing anything. So, I enabled it on my pod, diaspora-fr.org, which means that you can now move there, keeping with you your previous messages, photos and contacts.

I provide this feature with no guarantee, if your content is not properly migrated or anything else is not working, I won’t fix it. But it seemed to me that because pods are closing, we had almost nothing to lose anyway. Except that the import can’t be undone and can’t be retried later in the future. If you want to wait for it to be more tested, export your archive and try it later, not now.

If you still want to try this, follow those steps:

1. From the settings, export your data and your photos in two backups from your actual
2. Log in to diaspora-fr.org (if you don’t have an account on that pod yet, create a new one)
3. From the settings, click on the import button and upload the two archives in the dialog.
4. Be patient while the account is being migrated. Do not resubmit the import even if the import button is still available. It is running, just be patient.

If your pod is already offline (framasphere, joindiaspora, poddery…) but you downloaded your archives before it switched off, you can skip step 1 and migrate

I hope this is useful to some people.

Remember, diaspora* is what we are making out of it, it can stay alive if we want to. We just have to get involved.
Thanks.

Excerpt from a message I just posted in a #diaspora team internal forum category. The context here is that I recently get pinged by slowness/load spikes on the diaspora* project web infrastructure (Discourse, Wiki, the project website, ...), and looking at the traffic logs makes me impressively angry.

In the last 60 days, the diaspora* web assets received 11.3 million requests. That equals to 2.19 req/s - which honestly isn't that much. I mean, it's more than your average personal blog, but nothing that my infrastructure shouldn't be able to handle.

However, here's what's grinding my fucking gears. Looking at the top user agent statistics, there are the leaders:

• 2.78 million requests - or 24.6% of all traffic - is coming from Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.2; +https://openai.com/gptbot).
• 1.69 million reuqests - 14.9% - Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/600.2.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.2 Safari/600.2.5 (Amazonbot/0.1; +https://developer.amazon.com/support/amazonbot)
• 0.49m req - 4.3% - Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)
• 0.25m req - 2.2% - Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Amazonbot/0.1; +https://developer.amazon.com/support/amazonbot) Chrome/119.0.6045.214 Safari/537.36
• 0.22m req - 2.2% - meta-externalagent/1.1 (+https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler)

and the list goes on like this. Summing up the top UA groups, it looks like my server is doing 70% of all its work for these fucking LLM training bots that don't to anything except for crawling the fucking internet over and over again.

Oh, and of course, they don't just crawl a page once and then move on. Oh, no, they come back every 6 hours because lol why not. They also don't give a single flying fuck about robots.txt, because why should they. And the best thing of all: they crawl the stupidest pages possible. Recently, both ChatGPT and Amazon were - at the same time - crawling the entire edit history of the wiki. And I mean that - they indexed every single diff on every page for every change ever made. Frequently with spikes of more than 10req/s. Of course, this made MediaWiki and my database server very unhappy, causing load spikes, and effective downtime/slowness for the human users.

If you try to rate-limit them, they'll just switch to other IPs all the time. If you try to block them by User Agent string, they'll just switch to a non-bot UA string (no, really). This is literally a DDoS on the entire internet.

Just for context, here's how sane bots behave - or, in this case, classic search engine bots:

• 16.6k requests - 0.14% - Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
• 15,9k req - 0.14% - Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm) Chrome/116.0.1938.76 Safari/537.36

Because those bots realize that there's no point in crawling the same stupid shit over and over again.

I am so tired.

Mal was zur aktuellen #Spam Welle auf #Diaspora.

diaspora

Seit nun mehr einigen Monaten ist mein Pod #societas.online von einer Spam-Welle betroffen.
Etwa im Oktober fiel mir zum ersten mal auf, dass neu angemeldete User keine Posts schreiben, aber überall Spam-Kommentare der Art:

"Hello, I a Emre von Turky, ... finance, finance.. finance.. bla" hinterlassen.

Sofort bei bekanntwerden schliesse ich die Accounts und lösche die Posts – das hat zu Anfang nicht zuverlässig geklappt, mittlerweile nutze ich ein script das ich manuell starten muss.
Jedesmal füge ich die IP-Adresse des Absenders in eine Deny-Liste hinzu.
Das hat alles nicht ausgereicht - der/die Spammer wechseln die Adressen ständig.

Was ich eigentlich nie wollte habe ich seit gestern gemacht - mein Podcast ist vorläufig geschlossen für freie Anmeldungen. Nur noch per Einladung kann man nun Mitglied werden. Schade.

Ein Projekt, das ich aus Leidenschaft begonnen hatte, weil ich die Idee hinter #diaspoa toll fand, soll nicht durch geldgierige Egoisten und deren unnütze Spam-Nachrichten gefährdet werden.

Der Pod soll aber weiter bestehen bleiben. Die Community soll aber auch nicht durch societas in Mitleidenschaft gezogen werden.
Leider habe ich nicht mehr die Zeit wie zu Anfang, mich um alles immer schnell zu kümmern. Privat hat sich einiges geändert, das nun mehr meine volle Aufmerksamkeit erfordert.

Sollte euch noch etwas auffallen, oder wenn ich noch etwas tun könnte, schreibt mir an meine podmin - Adresse: podmin@societas.online.

Danke für euer Verständnis.
Thorsten
