I am collaborating with some fellow #MastoAdmin's in order to combat this.

Please, if you suspect any account of being a part of this attack, whether local or remote: do report them!

Someone was trying to access /api/v1/streaming/public at bolha.one with the following user-agent:

```
http.rb/4.4.1 (Mastodon/3.3.0; +https://squid.cafe/) Bot
```

But @chigh posted (and pinned the post) saying that they don't have a bot/crawler and their instance is using Mastodon 4.4.9, not 3.3.0.

🦑 https://squid.cafe/@chigh/114438681305116700

Squid.cafe instance IP is 165.227.78.15 (DigitalOcean 🇺🇸), but the crawler came from 37.187.151.114 (OVH 🇫🇷).

So #mastoAdmin be aware of those bots faking user-agents and pretending to be another instance.

You can also require authentication to access your public feeds. I'm doing so and the bot received an error.

I've had problems with Mastodon in the past.

At least a few times a week I've had missing profile pictures for people in my feed.

I will make another attempt this weekend, but I'll keep this Akkoma server as my main fediverse driver until I see that I don't have any issues with the Mastodon server I'm going to set up.

Hello v4.5.9 #mastoAdmin
We observe problems with the media storage. #mastoadmin

Me: fumbles around for the last 2 months trying to define media lifecycle rules on our two OVH S3 buckets—one for the main data and one for backups—meaning the rules aren’t exactly the same & the volume grows and shrinks rapidly, with a significant inertia)

OVH: waits for my rules to finally be somewhat robust and effective before launching... the rule management UI and the associated documentation 😑
