I am pretty sure the issue was a broken regex in a fail2ban config, trying to ban requests to ".so" files, but not scoping the check correctly to the request field in the logs. It triggered on the referrer containing ".social", so it blocked many instances

I need some #fedihelp: I set up my private #pixelfed instance (didn't want to add load/storage cost to a well known instance and my servers are idling anyways). I can follow my account on Mastodon, but get told "Preview not available" and also there is no profile pic. In addition I am told I can't cite the post. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

@me Hmm… 🤔 Irgend etwas stimmt noch nicht mit der Vorschau… Bei Pixelfed funktioniert es…
@foobarth Ne, tatsächlich nicht. Ich habe beschlossen, mehr von meinen "aktiven" Hobbies zu machen. Außerdem gibt es auf media.ccc.de und in den Mediatheken ja viel Content und von meiner Bücherei gibt es auch ein erstaunliches online Angebot an Serien, etc. Bei Nebula sind auch ein Paar der Kanäle, die ich gerne schaue. Aber ganz klar: alles nicht das gleiche, was YouTube zu bieten hat. Und in Ausnahmefällen werde ich wahrscheinlich auch in Zukunft noch (ohne Account) bei YT schauen
Habe letzten Monat mit dem #diday schon mein (eh kaum genutztes) Amazon Konto gelöscht. Meine Mails hoste ich seit längerem selbst. Nachdem #YouTube vor Jahren durch Ad-Block-Prevention dazu gebracht hat, Premium zu kündigen, werden jetzt mit selbigem keine Kommentare mehr angezeigt. Es war das "Soziale Medium", was ich mit Abstand am meisten benutzt hatte, aber man kann sich die Zeit ja auch anders vertreiben 📸🕺📕

@ascherbaum How do you "correctly" write the number "twenty and a half" in German digits? It is "20,5" (with a comma, not a dot). It doesn't matter if the unit is mm, € or °. Eventually I gave up fighting software with decimal points and changed my locale. You are right - in most software, the _defacto_ standard is a decimal point (because it is US centric). digiKam does the right (but unhelpful) thing and properly adapts to how a _German_ expects the numbers (but not computers)
@ascherbaum It depends on what you mean by "valid coordinates" - they certainly are the valid ones for _your_ locale. The issue is that most programs (in this case OSM and GMaps) are US centric and only considers US number formatting as "correct". So technically digiKam is right here, but Google probably would never fix this. I don't know if there is a way in digiKam to ignore your global locale settings 🤔
@ascherbaum Looks like the issue is the (German) number format with a comma instead of a full stop. I don't know anything about this software, but you probably _could_ change your computer settings to use "." as a numerical separator (which would mess it up if you rely on the German format in other programs…)

In this video, I'm analyzing a really confusing dialog on macOS. Let's dig a bit deeper into what it should do and what it's actually doing. #reverseengineering
