Last time I checked, kbin/mbin only supports intra-instance messaging. I.e., you ( sender@fedia.io ) can message receiver@fedia.io , but not receiver@kbin.social or receiver@lemmy.world
The more I see of its sysop the more I like this place. Thanks for keeping it all running.
Whilst it's on my mind can you recommend a place to report general mbin bugs? It doesn't seem able to see m/baduk@lemmy.ml and a few others I've noticed. Neither was kbin until recently.
OK, I'm glad it's not just me. A few days ago, it took about 6 hours to reach Lemmy instances, and a post I made yesterday didn't federate at all.. I was able to get my most recent post to appear on kbin.melroy.org by searching for its fedia.io URL there. I don't think Lemmy has a similar mechanism, though.
Do you know whether there are any users on kbin.melroy.org that subscribe to your magazine? If not, that will explain why your post did not show up until you searched for it.
I've been noticing a problem too. I've posted on threads from lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, and lemmy.ml and when I check the threads on the home sites my posts do not appear.
just tried to view one of your recent posts from microfedi via sharkey - impossible > otoh, viewing threads from fedia.io posted to lemmy which don't appear at lemmy instances seems to be possible when i use sharkey (both link and thread type)
wow.. then when I posted the above thread, it responded with “This page isn’t working” and looked like an error msg that was generated by the browser itself. So I reposted. Same thing. Then I discovered that it posted despite the error. So then I deleted the dupe.
I did end up disabling registration due to spam. I can either open them up at a time you’re free to try again or I can manually create an account for you.
Oh, that would be super cool, thanks! I hate to have you do it for me, but my schedule is all kinds of abnormal right now. If you wouldn't mind, that would be great! DM me if you need any info!
I'm not sure where the guys are right now or if you still having that issue but it is likely related to the CDN news from a few days ago, which seems to be the cause for some other issues too.
/m/fedia is sort of like announcements and discussion for fedia.io itself, not so much for general discussions. You can use Lemmy Explorer to find communities that might be more relevant, though unfortunately it doesn't currently seem to index mbin, just lemmy and some old kbin stuff.
I've noticed recently that I'm getting errors trying to vote on any posts in a discussion I've had open for more than maybe a minute (I haven't actually timed it). I don't remember it from before these issues, but I also switched to this instance just before. Might it be related?
It might only be with certain instances. I just noticed it wasn't happening on a lemmy.world post I'd had open for a while. It could also have been something temporary. I'll try to sport/report any patterns.
Normally, if I refresh a page once and immediately vote, it works. In this case, it has never worked.
This happens periodically and it does not seem to be specific to any instance (I've seen across posts from several both in terms of the OP or the instance of the commenter).
My gut says potentially issues with timezone somewhere and my offset (UTC+9) is potentially far enough out that it's an issue. I have no evidence for that. Looking at the request and response in dev tools hasn't yielded anything particularly useful so far as I can tell.
We need server error logs. So when such a problem happens. And you can fully replicate the issue. I hope you can test it with @jerry and see if there is some error log at the server side happening as well.
That allows us (developers) to find hopefully the root-cause of this issue. If it's still present.
Y'all are great. Feel free to ask if you need me to try anything. I haven't touched PHP in years, but I am a software engineer, so feel free to be as technical as you'd like.
We can definitively use more developers. We are currently with only two: me and bentigorlich (recently debounced left as well as e-five). I also didn't use Symfony (the PHP framework behind it), but I now also got those skills in place.. So no worries, we are happy to help you. You can join us at Matrix, so it's easier to chat and discuss: Mbin Matrix space. I hope to see you there!
This annoys me about the fediverse - people take a chance on coming here and then repeatedly get left in the dark when their instance is shut down. That's why I was so very happy when you and others helped me get fedia.io back to healthy.
Still getting it very frequently. Sometimes no amount of refreshing will allow me to vote on something. Here's the latest URL: https://fedia.io/ef/1184232?choice=1
For now try Firefox or a fork: Floorp, LibreWolf, etc. I heard that works better.. I know this isn't the solution, but that is the best workaround atm.
Most interesting: the problem had only been happening on MS Edge on my laptop. I have been using safari on my phone without issue. Just a bit ago, i refreshed the page and now every time I revisit the site, I have to log back in, just like on Edge. It’s like the old session expired and the new ones aren’t sticking. I’ll try FF on my phone.
Note: even in the time I started typing this reply to when I hit the “add comment” button, I got logged out
I have so many errors in prod.log that it's hard to tell for certain, but when I try to filter out those that are associated with failed federation events, that seems to be when I'm left with. I am trying again to see if I can confirm
If you want to know.. We did try to clean-up all those errors/warnings from the log and fix some of the issues in the main branch: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/commits/main/.. We are not there yet obviously. But 1.7.x is now focusing on making Mbin more stable. @BentiGorlich is helping out as well here.
ok - I just had it happen again while looking at logs. interestingly, there was NOT a CSRF log when that happened. There were a bunch of other errors, but enough that I could look through all of them and see that they were all related to activitypub issues - signaturevalidator and the like
I really hope it's not a session issue with Valkey or something (I don't think so..). We are now just going deep into this issue I think. Both sessions & csrf. Since I notice already some weird config issues with csrf forms
The tokens used for CSRF protection are meant to be different for every user and they are stored in the session. That's why a session is started automatically as soon as you render a form with CSRF protection.
Moreover, this means that you cannot fully cache pages that include CSRF protected forms. As an alternative, you can:
Embed the form inside an uncached ESI fragment and cache the rest of the page contents;
Cache the entire page and load the form via an uncached AJAX request;
Cache the entire page and use hinclude.js to load the CSRF token with an uncached AJAX request and replace the form field value with it.
Or remove.. CSRF protection and keep the cache.. It's a trade-off.. @jerry How much protection does CSRF on these forms really gives the user? I'm "just" the software engineer, you are the SecOps expert here... I mean how likely is it really that sites are doing a Cross-Site Request Forgery ...
it's hard to make a blanket statement, because it depends on the details of the application. CSRF attacks are definitely real and common, but using csrf tokens isn't critical in every application. For example, I think we have CORS headers enabled, I don't think we have functionality that allows embedded iframes, but we do allow links - if we have administrative functions that can be triggered solely with GET parameters, then someone could trick an administrator into doing something that caused damage by clicking on a link in a post. The only one that would obviously work that I can see is "logout", which would be annoying, but not world ending, and would work for everyone, not just administrators.
Thanks. I see. I do see the importance for login & logout forms having CSRF. But it does seems a bit overkill to have it on upvotes, boost and alike.. I could be wrong.
Could you join the conversation here? https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/1130. We really are trying hard to debug this issue. Both CSRF form issue as well as log out issue.
I will also note that there are three patterns when I post a comment that may or may not be related:
it just publishes when I hit the button
I hit the button, it thinks for a second, and then the button is intractable again. Pushing it again works so far in every case (i.e. it seems something goes wrong but no UI error. I haven't had dev tools open to see what happens there. This feels like it took to long for me to reply in some cases, but not all).
I hit post and get moved to a new page which is just my post with a preview. I'm not sure if this is just how it works with certain sites or something or also related.
Can you shoot me the IP address(es) you are assigned? I will see if there is some reason the firewall would be blocking them. Beyond that, I am guessing Orange is doing something to filter it
Even on local ( see newest posts at /m/test ), images with alt-text (?) seem to trigger an upload failure.
I've also been having trouble with thumbnails not being generated on the lemmy-side of YouTube links I've posted -- which I initially thought was something on YouTube's end (they made some breaking changes recently) but maybe it's related to this instead?
