irregular reminder that Sleeping Town runs allowlist federation because we got so sick of playing whack-a-mole in 2023

we probably do not have you blocked, you can ask for your instance to be allowlisted by sending us an email → exa@y2k.diy

📌 we're plural and prefix our posts with avatar emojis. unsorted public roster:

una_sample Una, she/they deer
lumin_sample Lumin, it/ze robot
kaile_sample Kaile, it/she electricity
aesen_sample Aesen, he/they dragon
snst_sample Sunset, it/its software
sera Sera, ne/it fire

if you view our posts on sleeping.town (e.g. click the post time in the default mastodon web UI) or install Pluraldawn they'll use the correct avatars/names, making things easier to parse

Jortage AI scraper error images are getting an upgrade no one asked for.

Well, we kind of did. We keep getting emails about scraper blocks that include exactly no information. So I'm going to write a webpage that explains what we need to know in order to actually fix it.

Images marked sensitive as they're intentional scraper block images.

i hate accidentally sending notifications and i double hate when it's an exposure risk from our fucking public account

i think it would be fucking hilarious if P-3 does this and it majorly affects the game's plot

and for people who were looking forward to a ridiculously hard P-3 there could be a P-E encore level lol

Thank you all for keeping Jortage and us afloat, as we provide fast & cheap media hosting for 100 fedi instances!

"maliciously" paraphrasing a post we saw the other day

instead of paying for an llm chatbot, consider becoming plural instead

long

unsup v1.2.4 has been released!

  • Flavors can now be set by system properties, e.g. -Dunsup.flavor.rendering_mod=sodium
    • This is a more stable way to configure flavors on headless servers if the config file is regularly updated
    • Better server flavor configuration will be coming in 1.3.0
  • The GitHub raw URL autofixer now detects LFS pointers and corrects the correction
  • The file corruption detector now detects LFS pointers
  • Autofixes can now be disabled with autofix=false in the config
  • Added a new raw source format that downloads a single file, named after the URL
    • This was added for debugging unsup's request system for the above, but could be useful if you somehow have exactly one file you want to update?

added this big warning box to the pluraldawn page as fair disclosure

⚠️ *Fair warning*: Due to there not being a way to just know about _every fedi server that exists and ever will exist_, Pluraldawn runs on _all webpages_. *This includes things like your bank.* The script will only activate if fedi software is detected, but the script could be modified to not do that by us or an attacker. Additionally, to bypass CORS and Service Worker restrictions in order to perform raw avatar retrieval, Pluraldawn _has permission to quietly make web requests to anywhere, without any security controls_. *These requests are invisible even to other extensions, like uBlock or Request Control.* We recommend you read diffs before installing userscript updates, and are trying to find a better way to implement this. (It may be to move to a WebExtension rather than a userscript.)
