Been thinking about writing a simple online security check specifically for Mastodon instances, to make it easier for end users to actually get a rough idea of the security of their instance.
Stuff I've been thinking about checking so far:
– Check if ports 3000/4000/Postgres are publicly reachable
– Check if Mastodon is up-to-date
– HTTP headers
– nginx/webserver version
Any other ideas for things to check?
IT IS WORKING i have a pretty color changing light
and also learned to use more resistant resistors than it says in the instructions because i have to admit that the pretty is also hurting my eyes :0
okay okay my breadboard is broken and my pretty led works, but i really don't get how i didn't hit these rows when i tried other things o.O i… thought i used the same places o.O
Okay I did everything right but my pretty RGB LED appears to be broken, without it, things are working :o
(yes i know there are 2 types and i am fairly certain that i did the right thing because i used the instructions that came with the set but i should probably still, uh, check, in case that is not… not what's actually in there. m)
Let's try: This is an unlisted toot on computerfairi.es, @cassolotl@cybre.space and @psifigal 🦄

Ah the construction work is starting
Good thing something woke me up earlier so this is not waking me up
So… this isn't really about a possibly awkward name for federated, it's mostly about OMG IDK WHAT MY LANGUAGE SETTINGS ARE I HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING, I DON'T WANT THINGS SET TO GERMAN BECAUSE THAT USUALLY DOESN'T BODE WELL.
Now, this is different than other translations of websites, because, i know, it is possible to improve it if it is really bad etc.
My reaction is more due to German appearing at all. It's a mixture of "translated websites are usually hardly readable" and "if they are readable, they were probably still translated by someone who didn't think it was necessary to include women and nonbinary people in language and I'll be reading a lot of ~generically masculine nouns~ here".
