@noyoushutthepapayaupdad Be aware that #Startpage was apparently bought by an advertising analytics company. https://restoreprivacy.com/startpage-system1-privacy-one-group/ Probably not a search engine to recommend any more, even if you're willing to take the risk for your own searches.

@thegibson @lnxw37a2 @mewmew @mangeurdenuage @lnxw48a1 @simsa03 @moonman @dude Dr. Skrzyk did write that he's okay with how the licence in the footer is now, so it seems like this is over.
Except that I didn't change the footer and it looks just like it was before.
I did add extra links there to address him not being able to find contact information though, but this was after that.
Weird. But if it is all good, then it is all good. -
> It sounds like @drskrzyk tried to go that route first.
@thegibson @simsa03 @mewmew @mangeurdenuage @lnxw48a1 @lnxw37a2 @moonman @dude It wasn't made clear how to reach out, so I do get the issue here.
The way it happened for me is roughly as follows: he wrote to the datacentre about a "copyright violation", of course everyone took it very seriously and what I got on my plate is an ultimatum to resolve this no matter what, or else.
His request can be interpreted as a "remove me", so that's how the person who provides the virtual machine approached this. I removed it the moment I saw it however, as I think that even though it got scary for us, it can be, and therefore should be, resolved through communication. -
> I don't think I've been affected yet, but I'm a content creator and I don't want anyone to use my work for commercial and derivative works, etc. just because they might have found it thru your instance.
@ellakane That makes sense.
However, there's a different issue here, that's been talked about for years, yet Mastodon chose not to address (if they have, I have not seen it) by just hoping it doesn't really matter: when a notice goes through the Fediverse, it is being re-distributed, possibly even commercially, so if a notice is not clearly licensed, it may even be illegal to federate it.
But I'm guy an instance admin, that footer is the default of GNU social, the software that started the Fediverse and has been the mainline of it for many years.
I think the only reason I got to be in the centre of all this is because search engines like !loadaverage for some reason. And because that's not the first time this caused problems, GNU social nightly now asks "robots" not to index remote profiles. -
> The notice at the bottom now says... "CC-BY-3.0 All LoadAverage content and data are available under the CC-BY-3.0 license." so... huzzah! The rest below is historical.
@drskrzyk It was like that before, it has not been changed.
> I guess their solution, rather than to fix the copyright notice, was to just block my account.
It was a smart choice of mine to give a moderator to the person whose livelihood depends on the hosting, I should've seen it coming that she will block you to try to resolve this.
After an extremely bad night, I woke up and unbanned you. I'm sorry, that was not my intent.
> If I'd had a way on their pages (or registration) to find out who to contact, believe me I would have.
It's on https://loadaverage.org/doc/contact
But since loadaverage.org isn't doing anything special here, the real place to go with this is: https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/issues -
@simsa03 You're probably right. But then they should at least put this info in their site's docs, so that more experienced users can point to them. There should never be a situation where a user files a copyright complaint at an instance's hosting company because they accidentally discovered that their (public) posts also go to other instances. Nor should the instance admin fail to explain it if the user comes to them.

> At the bottom of their pages the assign all content to a CC-BY-3.0 creative commons license, which violates my rights to my content as well as anyone else who they are scraping.
@drskrzyk Let me put it this way…
Legally speaking, licences are a giant pain in the arse in federated networks.
So you are saying that stating that all loadaverage.org materials are licensed under CC-BY-3.0 is illegal. Okay, then it's illegal that hackers.town omits that licence.
And licence omission is an implicit "All Rights Reversed", so everything's illegal.
So yes, there is a problem. What's your solution?
> an intellectual property / copyright violation by a client hosted on your network
Chopping one's own foot off, right. -
> At the bottom they say all the content is under a creative commons license and IANAL, but I'm pretty sure they don't get to reassign license like that.
@drskrzyk Let's just say, it's not as easy as that.
And it's a standard !gnusocial footer, so why go just to the !loadaverage's datacentre with legal threats specifically?
https://fediverse.network/gnusocial – go big instead. -
> So far I've found mirrors/archives of everyone I've searched for.
@necopinus @drskrzyk Like this: https://social.holdmybeer.solutions/users/9g11KCoNPGgsnXpa6a ? -
> loadaverage.org...
> Registrant Country: RU
> *Of course* it batcaveing is.
@drskrzyk Why is that "of course"? It would've been transferred to a more neutral registrar if that weren't so complicated. -

to prove that this is done, i have left the pleroma gitlab. do not contact me about pleroma issues anymore.
i used to believe wholeheartedly in the work i was doing involving the fediverse, but i just can't do this anymore.
on the technical side, nobody listens about security. on the social side, everyone immediately assumes the worst about everyone else.
this is not where i want to be.
and this situation reminds me a lot of IRC in the 2000s, where i "grew up."
the script kiddies won then, and with the internet of things, they'll win here too. meanwhile, the people who are actual threats will continue to slip through.
but you know what? this is Not My Problem. you all made this mess, since you don't want to listen, you figure it out. good luck.

@schestowitz It's hard to measure these things accurately.
Especially when a lot of Apache httpd users hide it behind nginx, Træfik, HAProxy, etc. -

On adding Group / List support to #AndStatus
Oh, I see that #GNUSocial development is going on: https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social
#ActivityPub Server-to-Server support is being added (and I saw a report that it was successfully tested some days ago...)
Moreover, looking into the source code I found the first-hand info about the system's API .
And although the code, related to Groups support, didn't change for the last six years :-) https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/nightly/actions/apitimelinegroup.php , it works and I could actually retrieve the group's timeline at loadaverage.org
The unusual "!groupname" syntax to address a group is not a big problem...
So I'm moving on adding Group support to #AndStatus (whatever it will be actually...) https://loadaverage.org/attachment/5785458-
@xrevan86 As I see you are an active #GnuSocial developer now :-), congratulations!
Could you help to boost Group support in client apps?
I see that web site has the global Group Directory https://loadaverage.org/groups
but API, as I see, shows local groups only.
Could you extend API to list All accessible groups?! -
@andstatus I do what I can :-).
As you can see from the code in actions/apigrouplistall.php, listing only local groups is additional code added there intentionally.
I guess the task is to figure out – why %). -
@xrevan86 I suspect that non-local groups aren't shown via API simply because you cannot do anything with via API with non-local groups: join, leave, list members...
In a case of GNU Social seeing local groups only is mostly useless: main power comes with using the same group across different instances. E.g. naturally I would like to join !gnusocial But as I cannot even find this group via API from loadaverage.org, it looks like implementation of "list local groups" won't worth its efforts :-(

@lain I didn't know that MariaDB will in fact build the same query plans for these two queries. Had to check.

@mangeurdenuage My experience is that content on television is absolute rubbish, so I can relate.
