@unnick guess why?

• The only nation that mandates #IPv6 support by#ISP|s is #Belarus!

Not to mention since #IPv4 "works fine" [sarcasm!] there is neither incentive nor mandate to change that from the side of #hosters.

• AFAIK #GitHub still is #IPv4only and so is my Internet connection.

I guess I've to buy myself a /24 block of #IPv4's and suck up the €500 p.a. fees for @ripencc ...

@torproject Q: I wish there was a similar tool test #Bridges, as https://bridges.torproject.org/scan/ is not that good and I don't want to hammer it with dozens of addresses, cuz at best that's quite antisocial if not possibly trigger responses assuming this is an intelligence gathering operation.

• Ideally sone standalone binary that one can just give a list of #TorBridge|s in a text file (similar to the way one can just past them in at #TorBrowser) would help.

I.e.

bridgetest -v4 obfs4 203.0.113.0:80 …

bridgetest -v6 webtunnel [2001:DB8::1]:443 …

bridgetest -list ./tor.bridges.list.private.tsv 

• But maybe #onionprobe already does that. In that case please tell me to "#RTFM!"…

Similarly there needs to be a more granular way to request #TorBridges from #BridgeDB (as it's basically impossible to get #IPv4 #Webtunnel addresses nor is there an option to filter for #ports like :80 & :443 to deal with restrictive #firewalls (i.e. on public #WiFi)…

• there are flags like ipv6=yes but neither ipv4=yes nor ipv6=no yielded me other resultd than #IPv6 webtunnel bridges…

And before anyone asks: Yes, I do have a "legitimate purpose" as some of my contacts do need Bridges to get beyond a mandatory firewall and/or do use #TorBrowser (through an #SSH tunnel) to circumvent Tor & #VPN blocks and maintain privacy (as many companies do block sometimes entire #Hosters' ASNs due to rampant #scrapers…

@jherazob @leberschnitzel they already exist...

• Worst case fork #PoWshield as used by the fmr. admin of #IncognitoMarket if you don't want to work with your hoster/upstream to block #DDoS attacks through #blackholing and having a proper #Firewall setup!

I think it's bad #TechPopulism to think that #Anubis will fix all the issues.

• It's like #KernelLevelAnticheat, #Antivirus and #DRM: A hamfisted approach that harms legitimate users more than the bad actors!

Just block all the #GAFAMs ASNs & #hosters that host #Scrapers so the industry cracks down harder on them than on #IRC, #Tor #ExitNodes, #CSAM & #BitTorrent combined!

@lucasmz @nixCraft True, true...

What pisses me off is that @mozillaofficial is wastibg millions (!!!) on their #CEO whilst not even paying #hosters on time.

Compared to that, @torproject has way more #accountability, #consequences and #transparency...

@torproject same with #obfs4 bridges: there is no option to say like ports=80,443 or similar, which makes it cumbersome to get said bridges.

• And yes, for people stuck on #publicWiFi and shitty #MVNO|s this is most likely the only way they can get any #Tor connection work through #CGNAT and #firewall|s, as most do #BlockTor and it's associated #ports alongside common #proxy ports like 8000-9999 and anything they can't #MITM that isn't #HTTPS or #IMAP!

And trying to get places to #DontBlockTor that criminalize the use of #Tor is foolish at best.

• I mean, I'm glad that I'm in #Germany and whilst #Hosters do ban Tor in their #ToS, my #ISP can't ban me from operating a #relay or #bridge at home...

@malwaretech @briankrebs yikes

They make #CloudFlare, #DDoSguard and #CyberBunker look like legit #BonaFide-#Hosters by comparison!

@peterainbow well, you can just block all the ASNs that allow #AI #Crawlers and #Hosting...

• This is very effective, as the ban for #IRC #Servers to this day for most #Hosters has shown us...

@eloquence precisely that is my problem with bs like the #TikTokBan...

• It's merely signalling that everything is fine unless it touches #NOBUS Doctrine and threatens the "#GlobalReach" of #NSAbook and it's access via #PRISM-Collaborators.

The fact that #DataBrokers basically act as privatized #intelligence agencies IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

• But that doesn't hurt the #StatusQuo, unlike #DigitalSouvereignity or god forbid people go out of their way to avoid being subject to #CloudAct.

I'd not be surprised if #Trump were to basically create a "DATA-#FATCA" and demand #hosters and #providers outside the #USA to #backdoor their systems and provide #BulkAccess to #US citizens' data to US intelligence unless they want to face sanctions which would basically force them off the Internet due to it's US-centric nature!

@jglypt.net@bsky.brid.gy Some #hosters have the option to act as a middleman. Therefore, their information is sent to the #WHOIS #database instead of yours :)

@eff @TheGuardian The Problem is the #LackOfAccountability and #LackOfConsequences are the problem.

• The facts are that #Spamming aka. #ColdMailing is not a #felony in the #USA.

• Big #Hosters and #Registrars like #GoDaddy, #NameCheap and #CloudFlare are not just accidentially complicit by stochastic fact that they are Oligopolists in #Hosting and #Domains, but

• also actively working against anyone who wants to report #Abuse of their #Services for #illicit and #banned use-cases.

• This starts with refusal to process #AbuseReports to literally #doxxing any report to their #clients...

#AskMeHowIKnow...

@tychotithonus @kwf personally, I think mutually CDN'ing / mirroring stuff should be the norm...

• Basically all #hosters I know do mirror the repos of distros inhouse to save on external traffic and if it was my decision (I'm not an #ISP) I'd encourage ISPs to maintain #BitTorrent trackers to prioritize internal traffi , but that's just wishful thinking...

@xerz the problem isn't @torproject or #TorBrowser but asshole #Hosters, #ValueRemoving #Rentseeker|s like #ClownFlare and #Enshittification.

• If a site doesn't work on #LynxBrowser over #Tor, I consider it #ableist garbage!

@Elizafox the problem is that #Hosters ain't regulated like #Utilities...

And sadly you are correct by my own experiences too...

@xeraa @fuchsiii @puniko @linux_mclinuxface Case in point, #SSPL is an #AssholeLicense even more than #AGPLv3 because it's sole purpose is to commit #AssetDenial against #commercial users & #hosters.

It's worse than #GPLv3 because that one is lunacy in terms of #IP and espechally #Patents because it's solely ideologically motivated, but yeah...

IMHO everything under SSPL is #UnfreeSoftware in that it's #license terms are worse than a #SourceAvailable license as used by #Tarsnap because they are at least honest about the why...

I really hope not just #GAFAMs like #Amazon with #aws forked the pre-#Enshittification versions under #BSD and start publishing and maintaining these.

#Redis, like #Elastic and #MongoDB have chosen to kick everyone in the groin out of pettyness against commercial hosters, and I hope @Mastodon & @MastodonEngineering as well as @Gargron work hard to replace Redis with a real #FLOSS alternative like #RabbitMQ or even hetter, allow disabling a caching-DB in lieu of helping setup a #Ramdisk with a #PostgreSQL cache-DB on it.

It's #cleanup time! How many random stuff do you have hosted on #cloud #hosters like #netlify or #Vercel?

There is no #cloud, it is just someone else's machine!

@dameoutlaw @blujayfox

And no, the difference is that #BlueSky is a #centralized #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider platform and thus perfectly capable to #moderate and #delete everything.

Whereas :activitypub: as a protocol like #eMail and #HTTPS [the latter one it relies upon] is #decentralized, #MultiVendor / #MUltiProvider and thus the only angle that exists is going after #admins, #hosters and those that keep that shit online!

https://mstdn.social/@dameoutlaw/110934725881870435

Just found this "delightful list of libre #hosters" which collects people and organizations who deploy, maintain and offer #FOSS services to the public: https://codeberg.org/jonatasbaldin/delightful-libre-hosters

Made me finally rediscover #Nomagic which I had on a short list for a go-to-hoster and then somehow lost track of.. Glad so many hosters exist that provide an alternative to #surveillanceCapitalism and its toxic services!
