My main account is dark_arc@social.packetloss.gg. However, as of roughly ~~24-hours ago~~ (it seems this has been going on since March 10th and gotten worse since) it seems like the server has stopped properly retrieving content from lemmy.world.

It's been running smoothly for well over 9 months, and (I think) working fine for content coming in from other instances. So I'm curious if anyone else experienced anything strange with lemmy.world federation recently?

Setup Description

The server flow in my case is as follows:

[Public Internet] <-> [Digital Ocean Droplet] <-> [ZeroTier] <-> [Physical Machine in my Basement (HW Info)]

The Digital Ocean droplet is a virtual host machine that forwards requests via nginx to the physical machine where a second nginx server (running the standard lemmy nginx config) then forwards the request to the lemmy server software itself.

Current Status

Lemmy Internal Error

I've found this is my lemmy logs:

2024-03-24T00:42:10.062274Z  WARN lemmy_utils: error in spawn: Unknown: Request limit was reached during fetch
   0: lemmy_apub::objects::community::from_json

             at src/root_span_builder.rs:16

I'm thinking this could be the cause ... though I'm not sure how to raise the limit (it seems to be hard coded). I opened an issue with the Lemmy devs but I've since closed it while gathering more information/making sure this is truly an issue with the Lemmy server software.

Nginx 408 and 499s

I'm seeing the digital ocean nginx server reporting 499 on various "/inbox" route requests and I'm seeing the nginx running on the physical machine that talks directly to lemmy reporting 408 on various "/inbox" route requests.

There are some examples in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/8728858

There are plenty of multiplayer games I adore. However, it seems like every community has these "brain dead", patronizing, or out right toxic elements that are just nasty. I'd rather debate politics than make suggestions in some gaming communities because the responses are just so ... annoying.

As an example, I once dared to suggest that a game developer implement a mode to prevent crouched status from rendering on death cams so that players that are bothered by t-bagging could avoid it (after a match where a friend rage quit because someone just kept head shotting him -- possibly with cheats -- and then t-bagging). This post got tons of hate, and like -50 upvotes on reddit because of course someone should be forced to watch someone t-bag them.

Another example on a official game forum... I made a forum post suggesting Bungie use Mastodon (or really just something else being my intent)... The response I got was some positivity but mostly just "lol nobody uses that sweetie" and other patronizing comments.

Meanwhile studios themselves often seem to be filled with developers that understand this stuff is a problem, and the lack of sportsmanship (or generally civilized attitudes) does push away players. It just doesn't make sense to me that no studio is saying "get lost" to these elements or implementing anti-toxicity features. I just want to play games with nice normal people, is that really so much to ask?

Thanks for the update and the hard work behind the scenes to keep things online!

It's 100% a new problem. There's established precedent for things costing different amounts depending on their intended use.

For example, buying a consumer copy of song doesn't give you the right to play that song in a stadium or a restaurant.

Training an entire AI to make potentially an infinite number of derived works from your work is 100% worthy of requiring a special agreement. This even goes beyond simple payment to consent; a climate expert might not want their work in an AI which might severely mischatacterize the conclusions, or might want to require that certain queries are regularly checked by a human, etc

and that it’s owned by Google.

I mean yes, but it's ~~patent~~ irrevocably royalty free (so long as you don't sue people claiming WebM/P as your own/partially your own work), so it's effectively owned by the public.

Did anyone else notice there's no update post on https://telegram.org/ for the latest update? I don't recall this ever happening, let alone with the launch of a feature as big as stories?

Anyone have any idea what's up?

I think the problem there is (likely) more the social media than the phones. I grew up with high schoolers having phones in the classroom in 2009-2013; Twitter and Facebook were the big two, and Instagram wasn't what it is now. Even then, Facebook & Twitter could kind of suck/cause drama way more than just the more basic things phones can be used for cameras, calculators, web browsers, and messaging family & friends.

"Addictive social media" in particular, is probably where congress's eyes need to be placed. That sounds like what this union is saying as well doing a quick skim, so 👍👍 .

If you're wondering who but don't want to read the article:

Their report urges federal agencies to investigate and potentially go to court over the wealth of information that H&R Block, TaxAct and Tax Slayer shared with the social media giant.

That only stands true when the issue is not being actively exploited.

The funny thing is... for me it wasn't even the API changes, it was how Steve reacted to the community feedback. If you need to make your app profitable that's fine by me, but don't ignore your customers so bluntly. They could've easily worked politely with devs to find an agreeable API price, find alternative funding streams for those devs, etc. They did none of that, instead Steve acted like a jerk.

This is dumb. Proton encrypts your private keys with your password.

Just upload the key to your encrypted proton account like you're supposed to, and let them take care of the signing/encryption/etc.

Have people noticed how much popretary java code ProtonMail requires when using a web browser for email?

You mean JavaScript; particularly, https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients.

Also, why the required login on their free VPN service if they are all about privacy and encryption?

Because they need to limit how many instances of the VPN you're concurrently accessing somehow.

Why do they want someone’s network traffic in order to use their free VPN?

To use a VPN, you by definition are giving someone your network traffic.

Over the past 6 months my suspicion grows bigger and bigger of who is behind Proton, the agenda behind starting the service, and how it caught on? Why don’t free encrypted anti-government services catch on?

I'm not even touching this...

Until ProtonVPN removes login requirement and release VPN server code under open source license like RiseupVPN or CalyxVPN

That would be meaningless. You login to a protonmail account, which you can create anonymously. The server code can also never be verified to be what's running on the servers.

I will choose to treat Proton like a spy agency.

Go for it.
