@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss Exactly

@Viss @h2onolan In the dim distant past we built a scanning system, but the nodes pulled jobs rather than having them pushed. So we didn't care (much) if a node went off line.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@steely_glint @h2onolan this does the same, the nodes pull jobs off the queue, but if its mid-stream and vanishes, i would like to know

[steely_glint@chaos.social]

@Viss I think we had a timeout and automatically reissued to the next node that asked - I like my sleep! (and if an occasional scan got done twice I didn't care)

[viss@mastodon.social]

@steely_glint yeah, same here, but i would also like to understand why a node vanished, because there may be something to investigate

[steely_glint@chaos.social]

@Viss fair - things were much more unreliable 20 years ago, things were always breaking!

@Viss @hrbrmstr @DaveMWilburn I think my only experience with cacti is pwning it on HTB

@Viss Too late, I stopped using DDG search months ago because it kept jamming the AI back in over and over. I use Startpage now

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Nonya_Bidniss im supposing this survey is because they noticed :D

[nonya_bidniss@infosec.exchange]

@Viss LOL & they're too late

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Nonya_Bidniss the boat left and they werent on the boat :D

[ridge@tilde.zone]

@Viss Blocked that account day one and somehow they keep disappointing me.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ridge and here i was holding out hope that they would see the light - too many nazis in the cryptobro investor crowd they got, i suppose. its nuts to me that their solve for handling that at the moderation level is "to label them" and nothing more

[ridge@tilde.zone]

@Viss I know right? I was hoping for mostly the same thing.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ridge there are some folks that left masto to go there, and it kinda makes me sad - its bananas they'd stay at bsky at this point, so im curious if or when they'll return

[phillip@social.lol]

@Viss it’s almost like Bluesky is just Twitter but slightly different types of bad 🙃

[ridge@tilde.zone]

@Viss Yeah seeing very technically oriented people (leftists no less) give up ActivityPub for BlueSky/ATP is just bonkers to me.

I know a lot of less-technical people go there because it's much easier and a lot of their favourite artists only post there, so that part I understand.
At least that's what I've observed with friends who use this style of social media. Even if the bridge exists, not everyone has it enabled and it's too much effort for them.

@Viss @Popehat@mastodon.social @Popehat@counter.social @mmasnick blocking is much more effective there. ICE gonna find they’ll be shouting into a full piss bucket.

[nonya_bidniss@infosec.exchange]

@Viss There's also @ap.brid.gy on bsky (it's @fed.brid.gy on Mastodon) also for those who are also on Bsky there are block lists that include all federal govt accounts -- one of those is the MAGA2 block list but there are others, again that's for bsky users if any dual users like me stumble upon this

[viss@mastodon.social]

@ridge you can see in real time who "prefers the audience". folks left here to go to bluesky entirely for the numbers. they want their audience and they can get a bigger one there, so they left

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@phillip If only we had known that early on (many of us absolutely knew that early on) @Viss
