cleaning up the inbox

today is the first time in a while i think i can say so lets try to do a thing

this just reminds me that i should probably do some backups of my own, heh... i wish there was a good solution for that sort of thing, but alas

IRC Channel
Archive Team uses per-project IRC channels to reduce noise in the main channel. It also serves as a technical support channel.

IRC channel names must be humorous.

lmao shoutouts to the mastodon federated network for killing that website with a DDoS while they scramble to fetch it for metadata

if you wanna get in on the fun, here's the details https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Warrior

probably the best thing about the 500px archival job is that a handful of people will now be running archive warriors, helping to back up other things automatically

and if you aren't, you can download virtualbox + a vm image that will do it in the background with relatively low resource usage

morning.

love 2 get banned from my own website for the crime of using hexadecimal numbers in my url

mod_security blows. hopefully dreamhost's timeout is still an hour like i remember or this is gonna suck

it would be nice if there weren't horrible people so we didn't have to worry about this sort of thing. that's my thought.

with a centralized system like twitter, you don't have this problem as much; you can still scrape timelines, sure, but you can't totally pretend to be someone else barring goofy tricks with handles and avatars, and there's no concept of "private post but unlocked account" (so you can't just follow and magically see things that are otherwise hidden) ... hmm

i would say there's a decent amount of value in "black hat thinking" like this; trying to figure out how one would attack people (without necessarily doing it) and the potential effects of such

you can't really stop this kind of attack outside of doing e.g. awoo space's whitelisted federation, and even then i don't know if that blocks /anything/ or just the "federated" timeline(s)
