Needed to sign up for discord for some thing.
But there’s an accessibility capcha cookie that wants to be stored on my mobile device.
I had no idea this existed.
Is there a way to bypass?

To more technical matters

Current Mastodon releases

  • 4.2.5
  • 4.1.13
    mastodon.sdf.org - 4.1.13
    mastodon.org.uk - 4..1.9

With the recent security issue (CVE-2024-23832), is this a concern for mastodon.org.uk users ?

@xvilo@mastodon.org.uk avatar

@andyc yes it is. It’s on the planning to get updated tomorrow. I was away from my laptop this weekend unfortunately

xvilo,
@xvilo@mastodon.org.uk avatar

@andyc It's been updated to the lasted v4.1 patch version. Tho, I have to take sometime soon to update to v4.2.

It is indeed sometimes a bit challenging to keep up with everything, luckily, since a year or so the costs are covered for hosting this. Up to then, I paid for most of it out of my own pocket. In case you have some money to spare, please consider pledging to https://www.patreon.com/mastodonorguk. It will be used to cover the hosting costs, and other related stuffs

Just attended a very interesting talk about Chrome's Speculation prefetch rules by @tunetheweb at . Thanks! Side question, should we pair this with Chrome's Private Prefetch Proxy?

xvilo,
@xvilo@mastodon.org.uk avatar

@tunetheweb Thanks, makes sense. These technologies do serve a different purpose. I'm interested to see how this will work for ads if that works as I expect you still want some tracking redirects

At once again, thanks for the IPv6-only network. I've already found an issue and that is getting fixed 🥳 @fosdem

Sorry for the prolonged downtime, the OS disk got full and I was occupied with work questions so I did not notice it being down. Enlarged the disk for now (yes, the postgres db hit a fair 125 gbs)

Hi, Since yesterday, translations are enabled for the mastodon.org.uk instance. Toots that have been flagged as a different language than your interface language will have the "Translate" option now. It's translated through , and we're on the free plan. Please use with care for now as I don't know how fast (or not) we'll blast through the 500.000 char limit

xvilo,
@xvilo@mastodon.org.uk avatar

@penguin42 mmmhh that’s a shame indeed. Mastodon tries to detect the language anyways, as it’s possible to only show toots for certain languages. However, when it gets it right, it can be helpful

I'm a small instance, but so far, today, I've suspended 12 new spam accounts.

Very annoying.

Are any other Admins seeing an unusually large number of spam accounts signing up?

@admin Lots of spam for the past months unfortunately

feels a bit wasteful for every Mastodon instance to keep a copy of the same file. some redundancy and decentralisation is good, but i wouldn't mind splitting the bill for storage with a few other instances.

how about an S3 proxy that deduplicates files to save space on copies? just store by hash instead of file path and have a key-value map so it looks like a file system to the Mastodon instance. one such map per instance connected to the shared storage pool.

you might even design it so it moves files away from shared storage and to instance-specific storage if only one instance needs that file, so you're only sharing the cost of shared files.
