Federation Upstream Error of my Lemmy Instance
  • Thanks. It was due to me using a wrong port. Its working now.

    Sorry for the inconvinience

  • Federation Upstream Error of my Lemmy Instance

    Hello again,

    thanks to your great feedback last time, I set up SSL with letsencrypt and got HTTPS working.

    However, federation is still not working.

    When troubleshooting as described in the docs I get the following Bad-Gateway error:

    "~# curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://<domain>/u/blueberry <html> <head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head> <body> <center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx</center> </body> </html>"

    So apparently, its again the reverse-proxy, but this time, its not able to speak to the backend.

    My nginx-error-file shows the following error: "2024/02/08 12:37:46 [error]: connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: <domain-ip>, server: <domain>, request: "GET /u/blueberry HTTP/2.0", upstream: "http://0.0.0.0:8536/u/blueberry", host: <domain>"

    But using "docker ps" I find port 8536 open, so it should work.

    Do you have any idea whats the problem here?

    Federation of my Lemmy instances doesnt work (please help)
  • Yes, also occures without the header. But I think I know the problem now: I tried to use the certificate of my host provider, which seems not to work for federation

  • Federation of my Lemmy instances doesnt work (please help)
  • Ok, yeah, I'm using a certiciate of my domain provider. Maybe that's the problem ... thanks! I will try to do it with letsencrypt/acme

  • Federation of my Lemmy instances doesnt work (please help)
  • Or do you know a similar post maybe?

  • Federation of my Lemmy instances doesnt work (please help)

    I hope this is the right place for this.

    So, here is the thing: my lemmy instance is accessible in the browser via its domain, everything is fine, but no other communities are shown. When I test federation with "curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://my-instance.com/u/some-local-user" I get a SSL certificate error.

    So I figured that it has something to do with my reverse proxy and modified the nginx.conf like described in the documentation.

    But the error persists.

    This is my nginx.config in /etc/nginx/sites-enables/<my-domain>:

    " limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone={{ my_domain }}_ratelimit:10m rate=1r/s;

    Maybe, someone has an idea how to solve this. I'm really at the end of my wits here :(

    > TL;DR: The current Mastodon-signup is only removing the confusion of users on first glance, because it either hides the server-choice altogether, or leaves them with a choice that is impossible to make at this point of their Mastodon-journey. Instead, it should introduce them to decentrality on a lower scale, with a handful of handpicked servers to choose from, such that the decision makes sense to them and shows them the merits and fun of the concept instead of scaring them away. Ideal would be to give them a sense of agency. Then, chances are higher that they consider migrating again in the future and eventually internalize it as a permanent option of the digital world.

  • Sure no pressure!

  • Colonize the Open Web
  • You are right, it could be read that way from the title. But from the content it becomes pretty clear that the section of the universe called the "Open Web" was deserted in this world decades ago and no one is there.

  • Colonize the Open Web
  • Thanks. So nice to hear some feedback <3

    You are right about the story. I crafted the whole thing a bit more hasty than the last ones. It should be longer and have an actual story and maybe some new characters. I also need to improve my writing. I tried a more playful style for this one, because its adventerous and so on, but its too inconsistent.

    I'm thinking about extending and re-writing it, but am not sure if I will find the time. Thanks anyways :)

  • Colonize the Open Web
  • Ok, I see. To be honest, I didn't put as much thought in this than in the last stories. Maybe it would have worked if it was longer ... I will think about it! Thanks anyway for the feedback.

    And it isn’t very Solarpunkish 😉

    the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well

    That's true. But otherwise, I don't think the idea would have come across

    Well yes, but Solarpunk also supported dezentrality 😇

    Castle in the Sky - After the Fall (Fanfiction, with references to Elon Musk's Twitter Reign and dezentralized solution)
  • Yeah its kind of amazing :) (Although I think the story also is kind of universal)

    PS: The similarity was noted before, check this out: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/this-crazy-japanese-film-just-blew-away-twitters-tweet-record/

    "Twitter revealed a new tweet-per-second record on Friday and it seems the 143,199 tweets-per-second milestone was triggered by the airing of a Japanese animated film. [...] In the film, the protagonists send the city's airborne fortress tumbling out of the sky with the magic word, "balus" which roughly translates to "destruction." [...] So strong is the pull of "Laputa" -- even apart from the Ghibli Rule--that during the last airing on Dec. 9, 2011, Twitter logged a then-record-breaking 25,088 tweets per second of fans posting "balus'' at the same time it was spoken during the movie--despite a public plea from the social-networking site to hold off."

    • Donna Tam, CNET 16/08/2013

    I think Twitter always in a way tried to be the castle in the sky. Also, I think people just found it fun to mess with it.

  • Ok, that's a little let-down. Although I don't think its that he is completely against tech, maybe his views changed over time since many of his movies feature technical advantages and not always in a bad way, for example the moving castle ...

  • Castle in the Sky - After the Fall (Fanfiction, with references to Elon Musk's Twitter Reign and dezentralized solution)
  • That would still have been an interesting way to explore these questions. Royalty does not exist in a vacuum, it is a product of many principles that Sheeta and Pazy would not be fan of (not even Muska I bet).

    That's true. Could certainly be interesting, I mean, they build the whole thing and probably spend a few generations there.

    But thing is, Miyazaki is very anti-tech. He did not want Laputa to be a dream followed by solarpunk, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale about the fall of technological societies. It prefered to focus on the destructive powers rather than on the post-labor utopias that the Laputa robots could have brought.

    I would call his relationship with tech ambivalent, because the tech of Laputa is primarily positive and exists in harmony with nature. It just falls into the wrong hands.

  • Castle in the Sky - After the Fall (Fanfiction, with references to Elon Musk's Twitter Reign and dezentralized solution)
  • Interesting. Although I think at some point there will always be a Muska. Exclusivity and aristocracy doesn't usually led to good things ...

    Should I add more chapters to my Fungiverse-Story, expand the story to a novel or retry in a completely new setting?
  • I used to hunt mushrooms with my grandparents as a kid. Got some good memories there. I'm also watched one or the other fungi docu on Netflix. Fascinating stuff.

    I can dig up some good podcasts. If you search your favorite podcast service for queer mycology you can learn some interesting things about fungi in a couple of hours :)

    Ha ha. It's such a niche topic but I'm increasingly fascinated by it. Will definitely check out such a podcast :)

  • Should I add more chapters to my Fungiverse-Story, expand the story to a novel or retry in a completely new setting?

    I wrote a short story about the Fediverse, called "Breath Taker" / "Lamella on My Mind", which is set in a Solarpunk world, in which, with the help of mushrooms, the so-called Fungiverse replaces traditional social media. I posted links to the short story in this community. Now I'm thinking how to continue to make this story into something that could support the Fediverse and Solarpunk. What are your thoughts? What would you be more interested in?
