In case you maintain a mail server or plan to do so in the future, PLEASE READ THIS.

There's an organization by the name of "UCEPROTECT", which blacklists ASNs willy-nilly. If you end up on their blacklist, DO NOT PAY THEM.

This organization is run by a single person. And they are running a money extortion scheme. Why am I saying this? Simple. They only way to get unblocked is to pay up. No other reputable DNS blocklist does this.

Furthermore, they engage in abusive behaviour, and the single person behind this organization is misogynistic (proof: https://web.archive.org/web/20210302184051/http://www.uceprotect.org/cart00neys/2021-001.html).

I host repository mirrors in Germany and Austria, including one for Arch.

And now, my most recent addition to the neverending series of "services I host on a single server because why not": kescherDNS.

No, not the unencrypted one at port 53. I would not like to be part of DNS amplification attacks, thank you very much.

Hostnames:
- dns.kescher.at

IPs:
- any IP returned by a DNS lookup for dns.kescher.at

DNS-over-HTTPS:
Located at https://dns.kescher.at:443/dns-query (as standrdized). You can actually use this in Firefox as well, by enabling DoH in network settings and putting "https://dns.kescher.at/dns-query" into the field for a custom server.

DNS-over-TLS:
Located at <hostname>:853. You can use this on Android 9 onwards, using the "Private DNS" feature (just enter dns.kescher.at into the text field).

I would like to expand my music collection, and as such, would love to hear everyone's music suggestions

In case you are still looking for a homeserver to try out Matrix with: https://matrix.kescher.at currently has open registrations (you can also try using a web client if you don't want to install a client for now)

you ever see something, want to boost it but you check the image for an image description and it has none?

Yep, I'm correct. Pull request 18463, the one that is accelerating search deployment, introduced this regression. Now I'm not sure whether this would happen on vanilla Mastodon or if this is related to glitch-soc. Will open an issue at the glitch-soc repo later though #MastoDev

Well, seems like Mastodon Pull Request 18463 broke search on this instance. Reverted it, slowly importing the search index again. If I'm wrong, then the cause could be Mastodon Pull Request 18451.

Error log of tootctl search deploy available at at this link. #MastoDev
