#Paypal bans #Gab following #Pittsburgh shooting

Almost immediately after the shooter’s identity was revealed by media outlets, screenshots of his profile on Gab appeared, revealing a slew of anti-Semitic rants.

@sn0w So far I've added (in some cases guessed) the following variables into the Dockerfile, but am stuck at the last one. I'm sure there are more but I don't know Docker and can't really read the various files to figure it out.

PLEROMA_EMOJI_SHORTCODE_GLOBS
PLEROMA_UPLOADS_STRIP_EXIF
PLEROMA_DESCRIPTION
PLEROMA_FEDERATING
PLEROMA_REWRITE_POLICIES

When I succeed in documenting the server-to-server masto-ActivityPub protocol, I am definitely going to put out the tip jar on that set of posts. This is ....... an endeavor. #mastodev #fedidev

@sn0w Hey there, I figured out enough Docker to get past pleroma-docker issue #4 (the unset emoji environment variable) and get the same issue then with PLEROMA_UPLOADS_STRIP_EXIF. I can't log in to the gitlab to post this on the ticket because confirmation emails never arrive.

Wow. Managed to avoid #Docker for the loooooongest time for somebody with my predilections.

Not impressed so far.

ahhhhh, nothing like a state of the art 'sudo curl' install recommended in the official #Docker docs.... what decade is it again, etc etc etc

Okay welp it looks like #Pleroma might federate on a nonstandard port, so I guess the next thing is to figure out how to get it running most easily in a VM. #fedidev

This is for a testing/coding instance and I need basically 0 space, it won't be around long, etc.

Does anybody know if it's possible to run #Pleroma on nonstandard ports and have it federate right? Or the free tier of $cloud_service_du_jour?

@SarcasmKid Good luck! I've had something roughly similar go on. We'll get through!

@kaniini we will definitely be looking into that once we grok the protocol well enough to really have an opinion. I think I'm gonna put a reminder in though to be sure. I read some of the history a couple weeks ago and was interested in litepub

@kaniini actually now that you mention it, getting to full litepub support would be a good milestone for us. good idea. thanks

@kaniini Good to know. I just need a start right now, to kick the can down the road on dealing with a giant star destroyer sized rails app :)

@kaniini okay thanks so much, being able to poke at an actual working system will make my life WAY easier because the docs that exist........ yeah

@kaniini Hey, quick question from somebody who knows absolutely nothing about Elixir: say I wanted to stand up a Pleroma instance rq and then twiddle the knobs and kick the tires while logging all request-response data from server-to-server traffic... how difficult would this be? I'm trying to document the protocol and given the particulars of my situation, Pleroma seems like I could get it running much easier.

@mastohost Is there any way for a user on your service to poke at Rails enough to make it dump request and response data from a functioning instance? I'm trying to document how the federation protocol works and it would be great if I could just do this somewhere like Mastohost instead of having to shave weeks worth of yaks learning enough Rails admin to get a running instance first. #mastodev
