Thanks, I’ll give Cockpit a try.

Making a ssh terminal available to a browser seems a bit risky.

Suggestions for something like btop that I can use to monitor my server, but through a web page. Go!

See the below post for a fullsome explanation of what they're up to.

For the few times I use a web interface, I've tried to get myself into the habit of using 'open in new tab' or window. But I'm an old dog.

@TrueNorthSpice
I'm genuinely curious if it's a technical limitation or what? It's the reason I almost exclusively use apps.

How do people live like this?!

Is it too much to ask from a social media web interface, that if I go into an article, or profile, or thread etc., when I come back I'm returned to the point where I was in the feed instead of starting back at the beginning again?

#UI #FediDev

I think I solved it. Although I had curated onboarding on, I also had OPEN_REGISTRATION="true", which I guess overrides INSTANCE_CUR_REG. Oopsie. 🤷‍♂️

@donhawkins
More likely Palantir.

Curious. I have INSTANCE_CUR_REG="true" on my #Pixelfed instance, yet today I noticed there were two users on there that I wasn’t aware of and didn’t approve. How?

@admina
This is excellent, thank you.

I wonder if @MastodonEngineering is working on a potential solution?

@TrueNorthSpice
Well, yes.

@admina
Ok, but who’s getting mailbombed? Are they directing the signup approval emails at targeted inboxes? And do confirmation emails even get sent if an instance is set to manual approvals?

@TrueNorthSpice
It seems to be something about generating signup request emails. They’re not having success though so why persist?

@TrueNorthSpice
Unlikely. And unnecessary. You don’t need an account to read Mastodon posts.

86ed another 80 signup requests from this ‘Automated protocol deliverability probe’ bullshit.

What’s the game here? What are they getting out of this?

@jippi
I'm running under docker, so the Mastodon DB is running in its own dedicated container.

Nevermind. I didn't mean to draw you into a tech-support conversation. I'll just live with the bots until they implement a fix in the software. 😀

Thanks for your time.

@jippi
I’m running Glitch also.

@jippi
Hi again! So I got tired of dealing with these bot signups and attempted what you suggested. This is the output:
postgres=# ALTER TABLE public.user_invite_requests
ADD CONSTRAINT invite_block_spam_bot
CHECK (text NOT ILIKE 'Automated protocol deliverability probe');
ERROR: relation "public.user_invite_requests" does not exist

Any ideas?

@jippi
Ok, so I’m reconsidering my position on this. Where would I enter these commands. And how would I undo these actions later, if I chose to?
