Interesting, even though I don't use Funkwhale yet. Especially the first point seems to apply more generally to fediverse servers. I think with current settings I'm ok, but I'll check some more. These are the questions for servers like mine, I think:

  • Does your server proxy remote media to be included in a visible post and does it check the media is indeed remote and is actual media. It's my belief that on my servers the answers are 'no, n/a' and 'yes, yes'.
  • Does your server show link previews in a visible post and does it sanitise the included information? Here it is for me 'yes, yes' I think.

Hey everyone! o/

A few months ago, we had a security audit of Funkwhale performed as part of our funding agreement. Due to the recent changes to our structure we've not had time to talk about it, so let's do that now!

In the name of transparency, let's talk about our security audit!

I'm definitely going to check it out, but I'll have to wait until at least 3 Feb when it's scheduled to be released here. But that schedule seems not to be updated yet with the longer cinema closures, so I guess it'll be later still.

I’ve been working and unable to visit the theaters,but for everyone who has made their way over to watch our little movie #SCREAM,it means so much to everyone involved. I’ll be selfish and say especially me. If you haven’t,consider checking it out! We hope to show you a fun time!

Far From The Madding Crowd watching Carey Mulligan, like at home, alone, pandemic-like. Bad joke based on the film's name which likely has nothing to do with that, being from 2015. Carey is a great actress who I saw first in Doctor Who, in that episode that basically didn't feature the Doctor but just her (Blink).

A fiercely independent woman gets three wedding proposals, which increasingly don't consider her own feelings. Ununderstably she chooses the last of the three and then to her shock is unhappy. Ok, that's just my gripe with these kinds of stories. I like how she is portrayed as independent and how she remains so and how Carey Mulligan makes her a full character that you believe in (choices of men aside).

I used to think that storylines where the male character needs to prove his love to the female character, and subsequently her love or free will doesn't matter, were a sign the writers were only men. But it's with women writing too.

Women were so underwritten in early musicals.

Starting off #DoveWatch in honour of Dove Cameron's 26th birthday today with the film Cloud 9. It's one of the first films she ever made, maybe the first. I hadn't seen it yet, but it was recently broadcast on the Disney Channel.

Finally in #DoveWatch, it's getting late, one of the episodes of season five of Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that Dove Cameron starred in as unhinged assassin Ruby. I'm doing 5x15, but they're all great.

I also like the story of the young Hale. What these male Hydra leaders seem to think the highest honour a female student can get is.

I didn't see it before, but twitter allows you to set a content warning on photos now. Maybe they can just rebrand to Mastodon already.

Happy Birthday @DoveCameron !

She turns 26 today and I'll be celebrating by listening yet again to my Spotify playlist with just her songs, rewatching 'Schmigadoon!' and finally watching my recording of 'Cloud 9'.

I've seen a lot of Liv and Maddie recently already, so I guess I'll rewatch some of her other projects. Like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Mentalist, Barely Lethal. And Descendants {1,2,3} of course. But there are only 24 hours in a day...

Upgraded Pleroma to the newest version. Thanks to its upgrade instructions having been really stable over time, the script I created a while ago made it a breeze.

It's nothing special, just this:

#!/bin/bash

pushd ~pleroma/pleroma \
&& sudo -u pleroma MIX_ENV=prod -s -- eval 'git pull -q && mix deps.get && mix compile' \
&& sudo systemctl stop pleroma \
&& sudo -u pleroma MIX_ENV=prod -s -- eval 'mix ecto.migrate' \
&& sudo systemctl start pleroma \
&& popd

Obviously I back up first, with another script.

The #pleroma backup script is less universally useful I guess, just for completeness:

#!/bin/bash

export PGHOST=<redacted>
export PGDATABASE=<redacted>
export PGUSER=<redacted>

timestamp=$(date +%F_%H%M) \
&& pg_dump -w --format=custom -f ~admin/backups/pleroma_prod-${timestamp}.pgdump \

Note that this script does not backup uploaded media. This is because media is on s3 and handled there.

Oh wow. The test whether having rss feeds set as external self accounts on a #Friendica forum, would result in that forum automatically distributing feed items to members, succeeded. Ideal for a news based forum!

I'm looking up when I followed some training course and my memory says it was 'recently' and 'near the end of the year'. This portal however says it was February 2021. Who to believe?

I'm experimenting with having Friendica media stored on S3 rather than locally. Natively rather than with s3fs. There are some reasons why I think this may not have good performance. But it seems to be holding up so far, on the test server at least.

Gidi Kroon (test)

These were test posts to see how Friendica media storage on S3 is holding up. So far so good.

Gonna share some posts from my test server to see whether it all comes crashing down.

Missy is a properly intriguing character, played very well by Neve Campbell. I like this kind of film. Normally when a woman character in a film is the victim of things, she's portrayed all through the film as having a victim-like personality. Missy is not portrayed like that at all (most men in the film are scared of her), so you catch yourself as viewer questioning things and then questioning your preconceptions as a film should.

I missed when it happened, but #guppe is now at the "a.gup.pe" address. Adjust your groups as needed.

For those who don't know, it is a server where you can make groups by just mentioning them in a post. Anybody who subscribes to such a group receives all the posts that have that name tagged. A bit like subscribing to a hashtag, but in the fediverse hashtags don't federate, so that doesn't work; this does.

Others will “just ask questions”, which is usually just a way of spreading conspiracy theories while maintaining plausible deniability. Others will “flood the zone” with so much contradictory information that people start to doubt whether an objective truth even exists at all.
