Yeah, thats how it should be: one download, everyone else downloads from that server, not the original source.

Seems abusable though

If one instance doesn’t trust another, they shouldn’t federate in the first place.

Thanks for bringing this up. I think in general we need to work on optimisation of Activitypub and Threadiverse implementations of it.

Is there a reason why the publishing instance is not downloading the preview image, and then submits it with the post to the other instances? This way they would not have to fetch it themselves.

So linking my own website here is a bad idea? Glad I haven’t done that yet.

Or being slashdotted.

Similar, except those are caused by users visiting a link, whereas the Fediverse issue is federated servers gathering info before users even see a link.

Is this the same thing as the “Reddit hug of death”?

Oh my this is bad. The private keys of eight eMudhra intermediate CA certificates have been compromised. They chain to roots trusted by the Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple and Chrome root programs and by many downstream trust stores.

I shared a link from NPR Tiny Desk but there was no image preview or video embed. After investigating this I learned that when you do that, each instance picks up the link and individually retrieves the link preview nearly simultaneously. For gargantuan sites like YT or Reddit, this is a trivial amount of traffic and not a problem, but for smaller sites like NPR this results in a sort of botnet DDOS attack on the site’s servers. More here. Another example here . For that reason, NPR has blocked Fediverse servers like Mastodon.

I have experienced this on my personal server as well (DDOS), but at the time didn’t know why, exactly.

This isn’t the end of the world, but certainly is not great and hurts engagement with the content. Is there a solution for this? Perhaps using some sort of webtorrent service like PeerTube where they just fetch the information from another fediverse server instead of the source server? Maybe fetching embeds client-side? At least that would stagger the requests.

@christianselig They’re shy.

@davidgerard I don't see that behaviour (which is a good thing) but I'm curious as to why 🤔

Does anyone know a nice #Linux, #BSD etc type #podcast that has queer and/or anarchist vibes?

I would love to indulge my special interest and not always have to listen to that kinda beige libertarian “product” talk if you know what I meeaan

I mean I do like the Linux podcasts I already found, the presenters are quite charming, but…. There is space in my life for more.
