#relay
I could make up something with an #esp8266, #tasmota firmware and a #relay module, the ones used with the #arduino. I've everything on hand, but then I should find a box, a power supply, wire all separating the high voltage side from the rest... it's a lot of effort for a speedy project as this...
@torproject same with #obfs4 bridges: there is no option to say like ports=80,443 or similar, which makes it cumbersome to get said bridges.
- And yes, for people stuck on #publicWiFi and shitty #MVNO|s this is most likely the only way they can get any #Tor connection work through #CGNAT and #firewall|s, as most do #BlockTor and it's associated #ports alongside common #proxy ports like 8000-9999 and anything they can't #MITM that isn't #HTTPS or #IMAP!
And trying to get places to #DontBlockTor that criminalize the use of #Tor is foolish at best.

I've just been notified that one of our production servers is going to be relocated to a different data hall by our infrastructure provider with about 2 weeks notice. Annoyingly it's the server that runs 3 of our web nodes for MastodonAppUK, Universeodon and the Universeodon relay.
I'm not expecting this to cause any public disruption, but will be spending this weekend getting things ready so I can migrate the traffic over prior to the server move happening. There may be some short notice maintenance over the coming weeks to ensure I can accommodate this and it doesn't cause an outage on move day.
A topical or community Fediverse Relays — ex: a Paleogenetics relay server, or an animal photography relay server, or a company focused relay server, etc —
Would be similar to the old PlanetPlanet river-of-news feed-reader blogs.

A topical or community Fediverse Relays could be very useful (in addition to generic ones).
Ex: a Paleogenetics relay server, or an animal photography relay server, or a company focused relay server, etc
Especially for single-user, community, team, organization, themed, etc server instances
It would also help save storage space on server instances, by the relay being selective in what it shares.
New video! I'm hacking an automotive relay into my desoldering station to circumvent the long wiring activating the vacuum pump.

Si vous recherchez une alternative à #SimpleLogin de #Proton, Mozilla propose #Relay, qui fonctionne sur le même principe & vous évite de transmettre votre véritable adresse électronique lorsque vous créez un compte sur internet.
Just added #tor #relay to my @yunohost instance. Consider running one yourself.
"The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run relays, the better the Tor network will be. The current Tor network is quite small compared to the number of people who need to use Tor, which means we need more dedicated volunteers like you to run relays."

The #Fediverse is free, free of censorship, federated and full of great content!
Also the Fediverse - instance admins randomly blocking whole instances just because a single user feels offended of a post by a single instance user. Blocking whole instances is just a finger snip away, censoring unwanted content and parenting users of instances. Defederating just because of… ok no clue :) Using content warner for any possible content just to annoy or aeemmm make it more interesting to other users. Thanks, I’m old enough :) Seeing all the spam because it’s just a thing of 5 minutes automation to create randomly new instances on different domains (or subdomains from dynamic-ip hosters) and to fill the network with automated content.
Sometimes, pros can easily switch into cons… luckily more and more single user instances are raising up for exactly this reasons and can still easily federate by using relays…
One thing I like about that period in which the System Operator could literally see what you typed; the Age of UUCP and Usenet, way before www, is that there was something on those federated networks that we shall not easily get nor easily gain again;
**TRUST**
Inherited Trust of the period was so beautiful. All the Networks are open and there were no trolls that could do any real damage.
Many decades have gone by, but I've now finally had contact with an actual Operator of a Usenet node. Thank you for your reaction

Do understand that all federated networks need relays, many, so that reach is increased, otherwise you'll end up having to wait hours to days before posts reach wider audiences
Excerpt:
{
One of the biggest advantages of relays is that they help smaller instances thrive. When a new or niche server joins the Fediverse, it often starts as a quiet place with limited interaction. Relays can dramatically change this dynamic. By participating in a relay, a small server’s content reaches a larger audience. This doesn’t just give more visibility to the server – it helps its users feel more integrated into the broader Fediverse community. People are more likely to stay active on their instance when they see others engaging with their posts.
}
Low reachability means you will have to wait long times, just like I did in the UUCP days. We could only afford one dialup session of 60 minutes per week to upr2.clu.net.
So our reach / ping time was 7 days!!!

In order to better understand federated networks you should keep in min the following exerpt from the article
Excerpt: An ActivityPub relay acts as a middleman, **bridging multiple servers** to facilitate broader content sharing.
**Without a relay, communication across instances relies entirely on direct relationships between servers**
This was also the case with classic news servers and SMTP mail servers.
In my country I was one of the three people who brought the internet in fruition. Explicit detail is on my github {message me for details}
When we dailed from 454074 to upr2.clu.net we spoke UUCP with that big server in Puerto Rico. Our mail could only reach the rest of the world when upr2.clu.net pushed them to the upstream servers.
Upstream pushing could take days.
Relays simply tell the network that your server can send the traffic and they relay them to others, working like a classic network hub
BTW upr2.clu.net still runs, incarnated in a modern form (screencap included)

Comme mentionné dans le post précédent, les actions ont démarré avec l'ajout de marque-pages et stickers contre #Bolloré dans les livres #Hachette (dont #Vivendi est l'actionnaire majoritaire) des magasins #Relay dans les gares de France.

Pour les journées d'actions contre l'empire Bolloré, vous pouvez reproduire ce geste simple dans le Relay le plus près de chez vous. La note interne dévoilée par des personnes employées chez Relay témoigne de l'efficacité du geste !

Depuis début décembre des centaines de milliers de marque-pages et stickers se répandent à l'intérieur des librairies. Ils invitent à boycotter les livres Hachette, à lutter contre l'emprise de Bolloré dans les librairies et à soutenir les éditions indépendantes.
Une note interne de la "direction de la communication de Lagardère" nous a été transmise par un certain nombre d'employé.es des Relay, enseignes appartenant au groupe Bolloré et présents dans de multiples gares, stations de métro et aéroports.

#HowTo install & run #snac on #FreeBSD - run your own #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse!
In the last days I often got asked about #snac / #snac2 as an alternative to #Mastodon and I can highly recommend it! I few months ago, I already wrote a HowTo about setting snac up on a FreeBSD instance - might be worth to share again :) if you’re using snac, you might also want to use my relay service at https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld.
