@jaz noticed a bunch of domains that were "existingmasto-tld.social.shrimpcam.pw" (e.g. peoplemaking-games.social.shrimpcam.pw , mastodonapp-uk.social.shrimpcam.pw) and found https://socket.dev/npm/package/activitypub-proxy - it looks like it's a tool for instance block-evasion, the domains are redirects.

You may wish to #fediblock social.shrimpcam.pw .

activitypub-proxy - npm Package Security Analysis - Socket

A brutally-simple proxy for ActivityPub that lets you circumvent instance blocks by masquerading as another domain name. All it does is replace all hostnames in the text proxied through, and for signed POST requests, it swaps the public keys and re-signs

mastodon.art has blocked outerkosm.us for (officially, per their website):

Federates with the usual suspectsI don't know what this means, but I believe it's essentially a form of penalizing coercion tactic/justification used to leverage other instances into joining the sanctioning of whatever entities they believe deserve sanctioning. Expressed here: https://outerkosm.us/notes/9arsonzgmy

Worse is that mastodon.art did not only block my instance---mastodon.art publicly slandered my instance as harboring child sexual exploitation material (CSEM), Naziism, hate speech. ---And, encouraged other instances to join them in #fediblock! Post found here: https://mastodon.art/@Curator/109799802882253307

mastodon.art's claims are a complete fabrication. At the time of their decision to maliciously slander/fediblock outerkosm.us, the instance itself wasn't 36 hours old! Not only do I not tolerate any such content or behavior, but I know for a fact that no such material exists, nor has ever existed, on my instance.

I never once received any reports, complaints, or communications from mastodon.art administration, nor any other administrators or users of remote instances, regarding any controversial, objectionable, or offensive content from my instance or the users therein. In fact, at the time of writing this, I've not received any reports or complaints from anyone whatsoever about anything!

I replied to mastodon.art's post asking for clarification and expressed how upset I was that they would do something so arbitrarily cruel to a brand new, small instance such as my own: https://outerkosm.us/notes/9asjjhl7me

I messaged the administrator of mastodon.art and furthermore emailed their administrative account again asking for clarification and expressing my discontent. I never got a response.

Blocking an instance is fine, it's part of the administrative process of the fediverse; It's a fact of life. But, to publicly lie and cruelly slander an instance is another matter completely. ---Especially when doing so to abuse the Mastodon #fediblock weapon. For an instance like mastodon.art, with nearly 8,000 users, to do this... it's the fediverse equivalent of dropping a nuclear weapon on a tiny country. And, for no reason, at that! I do not understand why they would do this. My instance did nothing to them!

I can't interpret the actions of mastodon.art here as anything short of completely random cruelty: purely motivated by a desire for sabotage. A brand new instance joins the fediverse and a giant Mastodon instance immediately broadcasts fraudulent claims to over 8,000 people---to the entire fediverse---that this new instance is harboring or disseminating CSEM, Naziism, etc.. And specifically tells users "not to interact". Doesn't elaborate further. Doesn't respond to questions. Doesn't explain anything.

I just don't understand.

I'd be lying if I claimed I wasn't upset, or that this didn't bother me.

@[email protected] Blocking instances because of refusal to join in blocking is a form of coercion---especially from larger instances with more "weight" to throw around and the Mastodon plague of "fediblock". It's a metaphorical gun to the heads of instance administrators: join us or we will render you pariah.

Do I know someone in the #Gothenburg / #göteborg / #gbg area that are in need of some servers?

( I live in Borås )

I have a bunch of Dell machines (R620 I think) laying around with good specs.

I dont need those, and I my plans in order to use them fell apart

EDIT:

It is probably being picked up soon.

this is why you should never let me administrate a server.
HanicefJan 30, 2023

me, yesterday: these fans are making it hard to sĺeep, let's disconnect them.

me, today when transcoding: the cpu temps are 70 degrees, i should do something about that.

never in my entire life would i ever think that taking down a server for a few minutes would help me sleep in the long run.
HanicefJan 29, 2023

problem: server fans are too loud and causing sleep problems.

solution: open the side panel and disconnect the chassis fans, then start up the server without the side panel.
