Having a list of all alternatives in the sidebar of alternative places to find people is my recommendation. Thus if people wish to keep a backup community on Reddthat I’m sure to let them.

I made sure that cerbot did an nginx reload after it provisioned the cert.

Article says the initial compromise of the non-airgapped systems is an unknown vector. So how they got into the organisation(s) in the first place is still a mystery

Turns out it wasn’t the certificate, but the post-renewal restart of the web-server wasn’t working.

We’ve fixed that up and now LW content is coming in hot and fast!

This is sso support as the client. So you could use any backend that supports the oauth backend (I assume, didn’t look at it yet).

So you could use a forgejo instance, immediately making your git hosting instance a social platform, if you wanted.
Or use something as self hostable like hydra.

Or you can use the social platforms that already exist such as Google or Microsoft. Allowing faster onboarding to joining the fediverse. While allowing the issues that come with user creation to be passed onto a bigger player who already does verification. All of these features are up for your instance to decide on.
The best part, if you don’t agree with what your instance decides on, you can migrate to one that has a policy that coincides with your values.

Hope that gives you an idea behind why this feature is warranted.

Possibly, as it’s one generic endpoint, but it also blocked a few other things people in the fediverse created, which are mighty helpful in diagnosis of these and other issues.

So using some AI model or whatever CF uses is probably not going to be the best thing for us as it classified a POST request as a crawler?? 🤷

I’d have to whitelist every regular endpoint as well and then it gets messy as CF only gives you so much control as a free user.

So, for the moment I’ve blocked the most annoying ones based on UserAgent.

We enabled the CloudFlare AI bots and Crawlers mode around 0:00 UTC (20/Sept).

This was because we had a huge number of AI scrapers that were attempting to scan the whole lemmyverse.

It successfully blocked them… While also blocking federation 😴

I’ve disabled the block. Within the next hour we should see federation traffic come through.

Sorry for the unfortunate delay in new posts!

I can neither confirm or deny for the safety of my pigeons.
