Been trying to get home automation working on my #raspberrypi. Was originally going to try and make some of the stuff myself with python, but decided to try out #HomeAssistant.
It worked well...until I tried to get #Alexa working. Now, full disclosure, I do not want to have to keep using Alexa - I mostly just use it as an alarm, for it's builtin segmented display that acts as a clock, and for playing podcasts. That's really it. And I've been wanting to go to an alternative (maybe even DIY) but you know...💵
Nor do I have anything against Home Assistant. I think it works amazing. However, to get Alexa working you need to PAY for a subscription to their cloud service to access the instance from away...and I just find that that kind of breaks the magic of being an #opensource and modular automation suite. And if I want to use it away from home I can just make a #cloudflare tunnel.
I guess I am going to have to find some other solution...
@tim ... I'm trying to get activitypub working on my blog and I'm getting issues with webfinger and loop backs. I am self hosting so in control of everything, but haven't got a clue where to start. I'm using cloudflare CDN with aggressive custom caching rules so I be suspect that might be part of the problem.
Have you got some links I can use to troubleshoot? I remember you also had some caching issues.
@chrisshaw ah, yeah, if you are using #Cloudflare with aggressive caching you are more than likely going to have an issue with #ActivityPub on your #Wordpress site working right. Currently Cloudflare doesn't properly respect the need to serve HTML to normal visitors and JSON to ActivityPub requests. Here are a couple of resources from @dustinrue that will be helpful:
@Nour@tek_dmn#Cloudflare sees everything that happens on the matrix·org server, so there’s that. Speaking of CF, #Element has also put their website under control of the web’s police (Cloudflare indeed). Which makes them despicable enough even before the OP’s revelation.
Are there any not-shit Linux phones and tablets? I will seriously pay 2x for the same specs as a flagship from a major Android-based brand. #linuxdevices #askfoss#asklibre

③ Let the attack play out. Everyone running servers tends to be self-centered thinking their server is so important that it justifies #Cloudflare patronage. Which just passes the security buck on to everyone else. If this is a non-profit op, then doing nothing is still better than growing the great wall… the largest & most oppressive walled garden on the internet. Stop feeding it. Booters are the reason for CF growth.

① #Cloudflare. It should be avoided. But if you insist on joining the evil empire there are some things you can do to show that you acknowledge the malice of CF. There should be a big banner on the page stating that the website is MitMd by CF. It’s only responsible to inform users of the consequence of this. The statement should inform users that all their traffic & acct creds are shared w/CF.

Dorzućmy do tego (oczywiście... 😞 ) media. Te takie niby tradycyjne. I nawet te niezależne, które od bigtechów mogłby się zupełnie obejść, czyli te bez reklam, finansowane oddolnie. Ale k*wa nie. Nawet one nie potrafią się obejść. Nawet takie #okopress potrafiło mnie kopnąć w dupę, kiedy pewnego dnia ja, ich zalogowany i płacący co miesiąc kasę czytelnik, zostałem powitany ekranem #captcha od #cloudflare . Dla okopress byłem znany (i chyba pożądany?), dla korpo, które sobie wybrali na #gatekeeper 'a już nie - bo wchodzę z trefnego ip. No więc od tego roku to cloudflare już nie za moje pieniądze...
If you use an S3 provider that doesn't support object-level ACLs, like Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze B2, make sure to set S3_PERMISSION to empty in your Mastodon server config (.env.production file)
Otherwise your users won't be able to generate archives of their accounts. :Blobhaj_Read_MD:
@kev@mike When will #Fosstodon be taken off #Cloudflare? It seems like the DDoS attacks have gone away and you didn’t really want to put Fosstodon behind Cloudflare in the first place.
It sounds interesting. I've installed it and been using it for a few hours so it's difficult to make any kind of judgement other than, "it works!"; as in, nothing seems different. haha
@starrymom Looks great! Still waiting for my templated personal #wordpress website to come online. #cloudflare is on day 4 of transferring my domain from Gandi.
@tekkie yeah, a bunch of people will avoid it. Plus, there is no info what #CloudFlare considers an "event" and why it needed "mitigation". And if it's a small site, presumably going static would be feasible, which would remove a gigantic amount of attack surface, without putting a spying gatekeeper between the site and its visitors.
At the very least, find me a bank that does not invest in private prisons, #fossilFuels, or other right-wing politics. All client apps must be #FOSS & distributed outside of walled gardens like #Playstore. The bank must not block Tor or track users IP addresses/locations over the long term. It must not outsource any processing of customer data (e.g. no #Cloudflare). It must not offer car loans to city dwellers (#fuckCars). #askFedi (1/3)
