pan.rent has been down for the last ~36 hours. Probably, this happened because of an error during an upgrade to Mastodon Glitch 4.4.0. We are back now, running version 4.5.0-alpha (👀).

Thanks to @victorvandort for dealing with this.

Even though Pan is a tiny volunteer-run instance, so many hours of downtime should never be happening. We are discussing about how to avoid such long outages in the future.

This is really not good. If spore.social adpots these terms, I have to leave.

If #FediHost pushes this out to yazoocity.us I'll have to move the instance.

Infosec ExchangeDaniel V. (@dvandal@infosec.exchange)@mcc@mastodon.social I think the part you're referencing is under the Intellectual Property section, right? (Edit: Here's the link to the terms template on Github: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/config/templates/terms-of-service.md) Here's the contents directly off of the 'main' branch (just pulled it down to have the latest of everything): Intellectual Property The Instance contains content provided by its users, including you, such as text, photos, videos, audio, links, and streams (“Content”). When you submit Content to the Instance, you represent and warrant that you have all of the rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the rights to the Content contained within these Terms. Because you alone are responsible for the Content that you submit to the Instance, you may expose yourself to liability from third parties if you post or share such Content without all necessary rights. You retain all ownership rights you have in the Content that you submit to the Instance, but you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, copy, store, display, share, distribute, communicate and transfer the Content in ways that are consistent with your use of the Instance. To the fullest extent possible, you agree to waive or promise not to assert against the Administrator all moral rights you may have in the Content to the extent those rights are necessary for the Administrator to host the Content on the Instance.

A reminder to support your hardworking server #admin if you have the means.

Mstdn.social is run by one person (who is awesome!) and that instance has THOUSANDS of users.

Beige is also super fab, but we are waaaay smaller (fewer than 1000 users).

I have a regular small donation going out to @stux (and one to my beige admin, of course) every month, and I try to kick in more when I can.

These fine folks really should not have to be paying out-of-pocket to keep the rest of us online.

Every cent helps!

Needed:
Mastodon / Fediverse Admin Setup & Migration for Nonprofit Org

▪️Our NGO created our instance in 2017 (Digital Ocean)
▪️Since then, we have broken it 3 times
▪️We need someone to setup a robust instance in EU and then migrate our existing instance
▪️We can pay you as a contractor -- a modest amount
▪️(We will accept free help or in-kind donations)
▪️We hope to find people we can work with in the future for other (small) sys admin jobs on an as- needed basis

*MORE INFO*
Our instance has fewer than 20 in-house accounts. We will expand to support more accounts: 100 - 200.

😬 Our current setup is inefficient. I set it up but lack the time or knowledge to do it properly.

⭐ We want this hosted in the EU. We have a small account with Hetzner already. We are open to other ideas / hosts.

⭐ Our instance is v4.2.17. Tech problems prevent upgrading to the current version. The new system should be current.

⭐ We also will host other Fediverse services (e.g. PeerTube, Pixelfed) in the future.

🧡 Our violence prevention org was founded in 2006. We produce free games for teens to prevent violence.

We are using *games.ngo* to support a robust community for folks who develop, play, & research #games for purposes other than entertainment.

We need a system that has been setup properly and will be easy to manage.

Feel free to ask for more details here.

⭐ Please DM your info / proposal.

For Mastodon mods and admins…

Our team often wants to send messages to people who appeal moderation. Not to the level of starting a DM session, but just a simple note with the acceptance or rejection. Especially because our decisions are often complicated.

I’ve added a suggestion for this feature to the Mastodon repo. If you’d also love this, please give it a thumbs up.

Podman instead of Docker?

I totally concur with all your points.

But in #Docker model defense...
As an old #admin/dev who re-entered the live space after 15 years of other activities...

I 💕 Love❤️ docker model.
To see a working system build being pulled with only 5-10 lines of docker-compose.yml directives makes me wet.

In the olden days we had to use Tar, String and flint to build a system by hand. And yes, you did have to have a way higher level of expertise. But many of the systems you deploy are trivial in modern scenarios and you don't go back to them once you have the stack up.

TLDR; Not everyone has the headspace to be 133t in everything computer. Some of us suck very very much.

Admin

We've increased resolved reports by 143%! 🎉

We wouldn't be able to do this without the support we receive on Patreon to cover the maintenance and running costs of the server. Or without our volunteer moderator/hero @Thor 🔨

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported and continues to support indieweb.social. You're helping demonstrate the power of community away from Big Tech!

@laetsgo

#admin #enshittification #IA c'est un problème compliqué à traiter mais oui, c'est un sujet dans toutes les bouches du small web.
TL;dr: pas de bonnes solutions, mais les contres mesures avancent.

Déjà, ces bots ne respectent absolument pas les instructions de robots.txt que les bots de search eux respectent. En fait, n'importe quoi qui ressemble à des règles de bons fonctionnement ensemble est ignoré.

thelibre.news/foss-infrastruct

En fait c'est tellement pourri comme domaine, que des boites paie des créateurs de softs pour inclure dans leurs logiciel un botnet, ie un accès distant qui permet d'utiliser le smartphone/ ordinateur hôte comme relais, ce qui rend les défenses simple d'ip-ban inefficaces. Ces botnets sont massivement utilisés par les boite de LLM: jan.wildeboer.net/2025/04/Web-

Bref, comment on de défend ? Essentiellement, en rendant économiquement inetrerssant pour les bots de crawler certains endroits. C'est pas fou écologiquement (ça ressemble à mettre la clim pour compenser le chauffage déréglé), et les llm ont les poches profondes.
Mais pour l'instant on n'a pas mieux, on ne sait pas reconnaître un bot pour le banir, les boites de llm mettent énormément de r&d et "nos meilleurs cerveaux" (mais visiblement pas très fort en éthique) pour échapper aux détections.

On a quand même :

  • des tar-pits, ie des pieges qui font boucler les bots dans un labyrinthe de texte plausible mais généré aléatoirement. Les boite d'IA détestent, et trouve rapidement des protection. Ex: népenthès: zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
  • des pages de protection qui imposent un coût de calcul important. Le petit dernier qui fait un tabas, une réalisation de la géniale @cadey : xeiaso.net/blog/2025/anubis/

Et j'espère beaucoup d'autres solutions bientôt.
Mais ça reste ad-hoc, et assez complexe à mettre en place... Mais le besoin est réel. En faut, les effets de bord des LLM se font même sentir au niveau des maintainers de logiciels libres, cf curl: linkedin.com/posts/danielstenb

Bref, le temps de la résistance n'est pas que politique.

Message aux admins : le scraping par les IA devient de + en + problématique et entraîne des DDOS sur les serveurs
Est ce que vous pensez qu’il serait possible d’intégrer des « poisons »/trappes à IA sur les toots et les images que nous postons pour enshittifier ces saletés ?
Y a-t-il des discussions en ce sens au nv d’activity pub (jsp si ça se passe au niveau du protocole , je suis pas du tout dev) ?
