Cloudflare is the worst.

Banning people under 18 without warning, even when they want to use parental consent, is anti-youth entrepreneurship.

You build projects, buy domains, verify your identity, and they delete your whole account just for being young. ☠️

No second chance, no future. This affects many developers, and even Cloudflare themselves.

I'll never recommend Cloudflare, and I never will.

BotKit by Fedify

Simple ActivityPub bot framework. A framework for creating your fediverse bots. Using @botkit, you can create standalone ActivityPub bots rather than Mastodon/Misskey bots. Hence, you are free from the constraints of the existing platforms. BotKit is powered by @fedify, a lower-level rock-solid ActivityPub framework.

What’s one ‘tiny’ browser feature that makes a huge difference in your day? 🤔

If you remember (and like) the "old web" (I would even say even almost BEFORE officially "Web 1.0" as labeled) then you might enjoy this nostalgic and hopeful look at the "fun" web:

Caching snac Proxied Media with Nginx

After seeing
Improving snac Performance with Nginx Proxy Cache from @itnotes@snac.it-notes.dragas.net via
https://snac.it-notes.dragas.net/itnotes/p/1738139676.258050
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/01/29/improving-snac-performance-with-nginx-proxy-cache/
I decided to prematurely optimize and adjust this for my apache2 httpd server in debian where I run snac.

I've never done any caching etc before so it was a nice adventure to learn something new. The documentation helped and in the end it wasn't very hard. I learned a bit about some http headers and regex on the way too.

Basically it works like this:
Enable the relevant modules:

a2enmod expires cache cache_disk

Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service)
Then add to the snac virtualhost config:

    CacheRoot /var/cache/apache2/mod_cache_disk
    CacheQuickHandler off
    CacheLock on
    #Optional while testing stuff;
    CacheDetailHeader on
    
    #My Instance ist not at the root, but under "/social"; so this needs to be adapted:
    <LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/s">
    CacheEnable disk
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 30 days"
    </LocationMatch>

Hey web devs, ever used CSS Grid or the :has() selector? Ever wondered how they actually made it into browsers?

Stephanie Stimac (@seaotta) from Igalia (@igalia) spills the beans on how new web features get funded, developed, and shipped. Turns out, it’s not as simple as you’d think.
