@goat@hellsite.site @ng0 @uint8_t @polychrome @kyzh @ben @riking May I propose getting a Matrix room?

@thufie portable stove and all ingredients for a bunch of toasties

@KitsuneAlicia@octodon.social eh I don't think that's the case. The gab block was definitely done from a political perspective

Useful tip for Fediverse instance admins, gab 

Gab actually uses a custom user agent to grab stuff.

Mastodon does the same, but this makes it easy to make sure gab instances can't pull from you!

add
if ($http_user_agent ~* (gabsocial)) {
return 403;
}

To your nginx configuration. That blocks all requests with a user agent that includes "gabsocial" (case insensitive)

You can also add other user agents, at your leisure

It just returns a 403 if they try to pull

aaa Dehydrated is sooo much nicer to use than certbot. Had to renew today, and it *just worked*
Certbot was always a pain and kept breaking on random domains

Migrated to Gatsby, and actually deployed at thewired.nl/
Just need to work more on the content when I feel more awake :P
