I don't understand why #snac has placed this toot in my "private" timeline (i.e. https:////admin). I don't follow the boosting account, and I don't follow any of the hashtags.This isn't a question about blocking those specific hashtags or people - I know how to do that if I want. I'm trying to figure out how to drive snac so that I don't get unwanted toots thrust in my face that I didn't ask for. What am I missing?

Thanks. I've scrolled through the original comment's thread (hxxps://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114651808724246941) [CW: not pleasant], and I don't see replies from anyone I follow. The boosting account (hxxps://infosec.exchange/@Newk) is not someone I follow. The snac UI here (on bsd.cafe) doesn't show me replies from anyone, let alone anyone I follow. HTH.

@grunfink@comam.es Another example came through today:- tooted by someone I don't follow- on a different server- not boosted by anyone (let alone anyone I follow)- no replies from people I follow (only a single reply visible on the original server, from someone I don't follow, who's not on snac.bsd.cafe)- containing some hashtags, but not any that I follow.Is there any diagnostic info I can gather from future examples that would help you if/as you debug this behaviour? Given I'm not an admin and don't have shell access to snac.bsd.cafe, any FS-level info/logs would have to be via @stefano@bsd.cafe, if they were amenable to helping.

A quick update to my note about redirecting a domain from HTTP to HTTPS using a #BunnyCDN "Edge Rule": #BunnyDotNet support tell me that the rule needs to contain an exclusion for well-known ACME paths, as pictured. #BunnyNet #CDN

I /think/ I've worked out a way to use #BunnyCDN to serve a large file, very, very slowly to any bot requesting .php paths (or similar) from my static site server, and thus tie up the abusers' infra in some small way. Now to figure out if I want to spend the per-byte £€$ on doing so ... #CDN #BunnyNet

Today, in a fit of "sorting my tech out", I finished centralising all my static web hosting and most of my DNS.I ditched ...- A Fly.io container for a VM I control, hosted in the UK by a decent UK company;- GitHub Pages for an Nginx origin on the VM, fronted by an EU CDN;- AWS Route 53 for an NS service run by that same UK company.Just a couple more domains to move, and I'll be relatively big-tech free!(Well, modulo The Big Degoogling ... and that's a whooooole other thing!)

@coldclimate@hachyderm.io Nice. I intend to use UpCloud for a lovely little set of web services that I'm building right now - their separate backend/1918 networks (even provided for VMs) is a real enabler ... relative to the UK VM provider I'm using for my HTTP origin.

@coldclimate@hachyderm.io I've gone with nginx, as it just feels comfy ... like I'm stepping back into something I knew completely, top-to-bottom, a decade+ ago 🙂

That last toot was /supposed/ to contain a screenshot of "recruitment" spam from "The Illuminati", but something mucked up with the attachment. I'm not really that much of an arse! 🙂

Congrats to the Aussie scuzzball who hung on for dear life, on a 1 Kbps rate-limited connection for 138 minutes before giving up!! 😂😂😂

Somewhat ironically, because #Cloudflare's dashboard can't seem to let me past the "prove you're Human" page, I can't sign in to Cloudflare, in order to reset some access creds, in order to ... move my backups off Cloudflare!Anyone else having problem getting past the robot gate in front of https://dash.cloudflare.com/ ?

Oh, ta - I'd checked, of course; but they hadn't yet put up as broad a scope as that!

Could some kind #FreeBSD / #BSD user show me an invocation of the "mtree" command (and its input file) that allows me to check/update the ownership of specific files inside a nested directory hierarchy ... but where I'm not interested in all files?I /feel/ it should have something to do with the "Full" line type mentioned on https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mtree&sektion=5 ... but I've been unable to get something like this working:#mtreeusr/local/etc/sudoers.d/my-test type=file mode=0440 uname=root gname=rootEven with -e, "mtree -e -p / -f path/to/this/mtree" complains about "usr" not being specified. How can I make mtree not care about directory entries that I /know/ will exist, and only check the specific files I list?

Ta - I appreciate the reply 🙂That invocation uses the "-d" flag which, the manpage says, makes the command:-d - Ignore everything except directory type files... which AFAICT is precisely the opposite of the behaviour I need! I'm looking for a way to "ignore everything except file type files", without having to specify directories that I know will already exist ...
