is there any way i can enable showing of what MRF rules i have enabled, but entirely hide display of my specific MRF simple rules? for whatever reason i don’t like the idea of having a full list of all the instances i’ve blocked just be easily browsable (plus i don’t have to show it for the purposes of letting other people know with certainty whether or not i block an instance they may interact with – i’m a single-user instance), but i know having MRF rule display completely hidden is very eyebrow-raising too (then there’s no way to tell if i might have RejectDeletes set up, which ftr i don’t, but i mean, the problem here is that you just have to take my word for it)

i know you can obscure which domains are affected by MRF simple rules, but that still shows a big list anyways, no? so not quite what i’m looking for

One thing about Akkoma that can cause you problems when hosting it is —

It stores media in the databases.

Including caching the profile images and profile headers from random people on the Fediverse.

This can cause your storage-drive to fill up.

I've seen 40% or more of the storage-drive taken up by this caching.

"Tor’s new WebTunnel bridges mimic HTTPS traffic to evade censorship"

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/tors-new-webtunnel-bridges-mimic-https-traffic-to-evade-censorship/

if you want to help people access the full, uncensored internet via Tor, and you're a fedi admin, here's a way you can help. you may know about Tor Bridges and how they're used by people behind repressive governments that censor the internet to safely access the net. countries like China or Russia block the public list of Tor relays, for example.

WebTunnel is a Bridge method that uses a reverse proxy that you configure using your existing nginx (etc) web server that points to your server's local tor daemon. so your fedi instance can be a bridge to the Tor network for people who cannot connect to Tor normally. disobey.net is hosting one ^^

one thing to note is that it's important to disable nginx (etc) web server logs, since the people who use bridges are connecting to you as their first, trusted hop onto the tor network. something to keep in mind to maximize privacy and reduce your own liability.

ever since i upgraded to akkoma "stable" 2024.03 local media has been completely broken on my instance (fedi.system64.dev), it never loads (returns internal server errors) and spams my journal with errors regarding it, have not been able to figure out why...

when trying to load local media:

Does anyone know if posts from Pleroma/Akkoma can be embedded?

This closed issue from three years ago suggests this should be possible, but I can't seem to get this to work. Unless this is not typically enabled on instances?

@fediadmin (is this anything?) #AkkomaAdmin #FediAdmin so my Akkoma (bvq.umbrellix.org) seems to have keeled over in the weirdest way possible...

Admin panel intermittently still works but cannot be relied on, and the site itself is zorked.
