FISH DOORBELL is LIVE! https://visdeurbel.nl

If you don't see the doorbell and get the YouTube live video, it's because the doorbell is at capacity (I think the max is 2000). Try waiting a little bit and refreshing the page.

Depending on the weather, the water may be cloudy and turbulent; just be patient!

The domain mirage.foxb612.com and IP address 65.108.53.178 have been blocked (defederated) from Enby.Life. These are part of a fediverse crawler system that indexes servers based on the country where they are physically located. This wouldn't normally be against our rules, but the crawler goes to great lengths to de-anonymize instances, including sending fake-signed ActivityPub probes to obtain the server's true IP address. Requests from the crawler use a web browser's User Agent to evade filters, and documentation on the website mentions that CloudFlare bypasses are also in use.

Given the complexity of setting up something like this, we believe that the crawler is likely operating with bad intentions. While there could be some use for an index of instances based on community region, tracking the actual physical location of the server backends is highly suspicious. I'd encourage all instance admins to consider whether something like this poses a threat, and to take appropriate action.

For anyone interested in going beyond a simple domain block, please see these log excerpts typical of being crawled via AP probes. Logs are taken from a non-standard Sharkey deployment and may not directly translate to other software, but I've tried to include as much detail as possible anyway.

Sharkey admins can check whether you've been scanned by searching for backend log patterns like this (make sure to replace your instance hostname where appropriate):
