Reminder regarding streams update and .htaccess...

mike wrote the following post Tue, 30 May 2023 21:14:18 -0700

Once again, if you have update issues, look at the file upgrade.log to find out why. Almost certainly this will be due to removing the .htaccess file from git a week or two ago and I've asked everybody to be on the lookout for folks with upgrade issues.

mv .htaccess htaccess.orig
util/udall

Then

cp htaccess.orig .htaccess
or
cp htaccess.dist .htaccess

depending on which one you wish to keep.

The default .htaccess was removed, so that one can now edit it to meet their personal needs without creating a git conflict in the future. It is only necessary if your webserver is apache, in which case you will need to use the template provided. We do attempt to copy the template back to .htaccess if it doesn't exist, but what I discovered is that this will only work if you load the baseurl, because the .htaccess file contains the rules to interpret URLS with paths. E.g. if your primary bookmark is to yoursite/stream, it will just whitescreen because the code to copy the file will never be reached. The code to reach this path is in the .htaccess file you don't have.

The next release is due in "a few days" give or take. When that happens, this requirement will move from the dev branch to the main branch and some sites will break. They will need to copy htaccess.dist to .htaccess and not everybody will remember this or know this, so please reach out to anybody having troubles with the upgrade.

The installation instructions have also been upgraded to mention this change.

Sometimes I scroll to the bottom of threads that come through my network stream just to see that thread depth indicator in action.

Re: #AltText
My mobile phone is on a limited data plan. I've recently got into the habit of setting my browser to disable image loading when away from home. I've found this to be a great way to browse while out and about without concern of reaching my mobile data cap. I've also come to really appreciate those who include alt text for images they post on here because while my mobile browser isn't loading images, I can still read their descriptions. So thanks for using alt text!

Can you explain how to suppress images?

@jrp@hub.kliklak.net Depends on browser used. Check in settings.

At the moment I'm using Midori on Android for my out-and-about browsing. The "Block images" option is in General Settings.

I've checked Fennec browser and cannot find a similar option.

So looks like availability of this function is browser dependent.

So #Firefox is still displaying the "Deceptive site ahead" warning for one of my domains. I just submitted a review request at Googhoul Search Console:

I use the YunoHost operating system (see yunohost.org) to power the server where [domain] is hosted. So https://[domain]/yunohost/admin/ and https://[domain]/yunohost/sso/ are both legitimate login pages for [domain]. They simply contain the logo of the operating system which is YunoHost.

Now we wait and see.

If that doesn't work maybe I'll need to replace the #yunohost logo with something else.

Logged in to Search Console today to see about any updates on the situation. Had an unread message:

To: Webmaster of [domain],
Google has received and processed your security review request. Google systems indicate that [domain] no longer contains links to harmful sites or downloads. The warnings visible to users are being removed from your site. This may take a few hours to happen.

So it looks like the "issue" is "resolved"... for now.

Can confirm I received a total of one direct message from a newly created account on the Pleistocene proboscidean flagship instance; some crypto-crap scam spam.

Glad I use a fedi platform that actually has anti-spam features. Time to use (more of) 'em, I guess.

We're aware of the spam attack hitting mastodon.social right now and our full moderation and DevOps teams are on the case mitigating any way we can (incl. switching to approval-mode registrations)

Happy (and safe) 4/20 to all who celebrate!

Also, a moment of reflection for those who've perished in drug wars and those who are still incarcerated for marijuana crimes that are no longer considered crimes.

@chava The German government is planning to at least partially legalize marijuana. Maybe they can do it on that day next year? Hijack the date...? I'd vote yes on that...

OK , I think this thing is working closer to properly now. Had to set the correct PHP version in the cron job and .htconfig.php.

It's finally starting to feel like spring time around here!

I don't mind the rain, cold(er) weather, fog, or overcast skies; I actually like them. Something different is definitely welcome though.

Decided to go forward using a new Nomad identity (the one I'm posting from). I'm retiring my original Nomad/Zot identity which has been around since 2019 (I think) and been through more than a couple domains thanks to Zap (wassup zap.dog?!), Osada, (streams), etcetera and associated nomadic identity features.

Anyway... hi.
