[snarfed]1 [Chris_Lott] looks like you're on Reclaim Hosting, they have a kind of infamous history of blocking wide swaths of the internet, including cloud hosts like the one Bridgy is on. lots of background in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/885
#
Loqi [willtm] #885 Reclaim Hosting (BitNinja) blocking Google Cloud IP addresses
#
[snarfed]1 I guess whoever you talked to there isn't aware of it 🤷
#
[Chris_Lott] Hmmm. I've been with reclaim since they were new and the founders/owners are friends whose philosophy is generally indieweb-ish. Which is to say I will use this info but am reluctant to switch because I've never had a single service issue with them, literally. Hopefully this isn't the final mail in the coffin of my latest IndieWeb dalliance!
#
[snarfed]1 feel free to pass on this issue, happy to talk to them if they want. good luck!
#
[snarfed]1 host snarfed.org
#
[snarfed]1 lol this isn't a shell
#
[Chris_Lott] I doubt I have the kind of influence needed to get them to drop BitNinja but I'll raise the issue with them anyway.
#
[snarfed]1 I expect they can keep it and just configure it to not block all of GCP, indiscriminately. but up to them!

[tantek] TIL: downloaderbot is a thing (on Twitter), you @-reply a tweet with a video and @-mention @/downloaderbot and it gives you a permalink to the video, e.g.: https://twitter.com/Nicovallejos___/status/1533613805342687233

#
[Chris_Lott] [snarfed] the solution with Reclaim is to move to their cloud hosting rather than shared hosting. Which is kind of what I expected.
#
[snarfed]1 huh, odd split that they use this overly aggressive firewall on one product but not the other 🤷

#
[tantek] snarfed, is it that odd? more aggressive restrictions would seem to make sense on "shared" hosting (presuming that means multiple people on the same virtual server)
#
[tantek] (i.e. to protect them from each other)
#
[tantek] (presuming good intent here)
#
[snarfed]1 ah, this isn't that, it's for blocking external inbound/outbound network requests
#
[snarfed]1 multitenancy isolation is very different (and for #indieweb-dev, but maybe all of this is)
#
[tantek] somehow iMessage (Messages) gets edit message and undo send before Twitter: https://twitter.com/verge/status/1533863540792107008
#
@verge New Messages updates from Apple will let you edit texts and undo send #WWDC https://twitter.com/verge/status/1533863540792107008/video/1 (twitter.com/_/status/1533863540792107008)
#
[tantek] ^ me changing the subject
#
[tantek] ^ use-case for buying a cheap iPod Touch and keeping it locked down on iOS15 as a message log
#
[KevinMarks] so if you edit an iMessage to 40404 does it change the tweet?
#
[tantek] that's SMS, not iMessage
#
[tantek] also if you want to edit a message and NOT have it say "Edited", edit the message, select all, copy, unsend, new message, paste, send. presto

#
aaronpk to be fair, editing is a lot simpler of a problem with iMessage compared to twitter
#
[tantek] ^ that sounds like a #indieweb-dev assertion 😛
#
[tantek] on a borderline subject: I'm looking forward to documenting all the UI nuances of how Apple "solved" create/send/unsend/edit/delete interactions, as I feel a lot of that will be re-usable in IndieWeb posting UI contexts

JBritS is posting a referral link for a preferred site host admonished?
#
JBritS let me read the rules not to waste anyones time heh
#
JBritS s/anyone's . I'll wait heh
#
[tantek] welcome JBritS! In general affiliate links are avoided, and especially if added as a first or very early edit to the wiki, it would appear to be spam and likely get removed.

#
JBritS hi tantek thanks. I meant in here. I know you guys actually work and don't want to bother you
#
JBritS I can assume that means the channel also though heh
