Admin and moderator of a small Mastodon instance. For anything related to that or the operations of the instance, please contact @theadmin instead of this account.
Don't mind if my own posts are searchable on https://tootfinder.ch, but my views are not representative of others.
I accidentally got a shot of Sunny and I with the same look on our faces
In the past few weeks there has been a bot farm hammering small Mastodon instances with requests for what looks like emoji-related assets and the hashtag API.
More specifically, it appears this bot farm has now come for my Mastodon instance, because the number of requests has doubled in the last 24 hours, with a lot of the requests being API requests for a single JSON file.
Even more specifically, looking at data provided by my CDN provider, a lot of the bots appear to be using IP addresses associated with Tencent Singapore.
@resingm DoQ because it gets through the firewalls I work with the most frequently while being better performance than DoH.
DoT is out for me because only certain ports are allowed here and standard TCP/UDP DNS gets hijacked so there is no point you having configured your own DNS service.
Reaching out to anyone who configured their DNS transport protocol. If you intentionally configured your home router's or your devices DNS service, what did you pick, and why?
Please retoot for reach.

The real list is more accurately:
1. Windows
2. macOS
3. chromeOS
4. GNU/Linux
Of course, you could argue that chromeOS is based on Linux, but it isn't what most people think of as Linux, which is why I called that GNU/Linux to differentiate it
Stealing books doesn't stop at Anthropic though, a lot of AI startups and big tech have been pirating books for training their next LLM (Hi Meta, this was only ~10 months ago)

And Bazzite isn't just based on standard Fedora either. It is ultimately based on the atomic version of Fedora which is actually more stable because the root filesystem is read-only.
Everything which is writable is overlayed from elsewhere and I believe a lot of the applications which do not typically ship with standard Fedora are either overlayed in with rpm-ostree or installed via Flatpak or use AppImages.
If KDE can do it, there is no reason other desktop environments can't implement it as an option at some point if they haven't already.
I would replace Windows 11 on every device I have if it were an option, but some of them have things like Mediatek MT7927 WiFi cards which have no functioning Linux-compatible driver or Realtek audio hardware which ALSA cannot use properly (once again, more driver problems) so only the tweeters work
