JAA
Number must go up.
-
michaelblob
are y'all just running hetzner/similar boxes for this project?
-
nicolas17
I think the tracker should have monthly leaderboards or something like that
-
fireonlive
gamify all the things
-
fireonlive
michaelblob: ye, or random VPS. you will probably get abuse notices from clueless fuckwits who think they know how to manage a website/server/network, though
-
fireonlive
'you accessed https://<site>/.well-known/<something>? holy shit you're compromised!'
-
michaelblob
i ran this project on my home server and got a visit from the FBI so i stopped lmao
-
fireonlive
(or abusive, or literally the worst, etc) just have to deal with that
-
fireonlive
lmao
-
fireonlive
what were they asking you
-
michaelblob
a bunch of fluff until "is anyone in your household being radicalized"
-
fireonlive
oh also increased risk of captchas/denials/etc from stuff like youtube/facebook/etc
-
fireonlive
oh fun
-
michaelblob
i think this was around the time we added geopolitically sensitive sites into here
-
fireonlive
ahh
-
michaelblob
great story to tell at parties hahahaha
-
fireonlive
lmao yeah
-
michaelblob
at least one professor has asked me about the FBI so far
-
fireonlive
they're watching :o
-
JAA
Oh boy

JAA
Was this in 2021 by any chance?
-
nicolas17
I know someone who got raided and sued for uploading CSAM from his internet connection
-
nicolas17
eventually sanity prevailed and the judge agreed that running a tor exit node is not a crime
-
nicolas17
but it turns out there were reasons (campaigning against electronic voting and other political stuff) why authorities might have targeted him and looked specifically into his traffic, and when they found the illegal stuff over tor it was a super convenient excuse to get him in trouble
-
Craigle
Oh hey, I also had a visit from the FBI in 2021 when I briefly ran this from my home connection. Allegedly I hit an "absolutely terrible and brutal" ISIS recruitment site "several times". I politely explained to the clueless agent what we actually do, and he seemed satisfied since he barely understood what a URL was.
-
Craigle
I assume we hit a honeypot site that they were monitoring, but I have absolutely no evidence of that aside from the fact that it would be odd if my ISP just randomly said "hey FBI, take a look at this shit"
-
nicolas17
I'm torn between "maybe I should run this since there's no FBI in Argentina and authorities have much less of a clue to monitor internet traffic" and "maybe I should stay the hell away"

I've been happily running it from Hetzner for 2+ years. Works well enough for me and I don't have to worry about any 3 letter agencies showing up
-
fireonlive

fireonlive

michaelblob
JAA: no this was march 2022
-
michaelblob

-
nyany
You didn't know that?
-
Vokun
All I was running was downthetube and mediaonfire on my hetzner server and they locked my ip
-
fuzzy8021
oh i am well aware
-
nyany
I was about to say. you of all people should be an expert
-
nyany
lol
-
fuzzy8021
was a general fyi
-
nyany
Oh, I didn't even see the lengthy Hetzner discussion just above
-
fuzzy8021
ya i learned the hard way and havent spent time fighting with them
-
nyany
As per usual I come to a channel and glance the last 3-4 messages and then screw something up
-
fuzzy8021
:P
-
Vokun
will they ban me if i just delete the server and make a new one? o.O
-
fuzzy8021
i think thats what really pissed them off. had a dedi that i deleted because they were unhappy and been locked since
-
Vokun
I had my first two accounts locked the instant I made them because i was on a vpn. took me a while to figure out why and I was pretty mad
