David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Thursday, 05-Jan-2017 02:47:50 UTC David Benfell After due consideration, I have decided to shut down the instance of !gnusocial at https://cybernude.org/ . It's broken and it appears unlikely to be fixable. I'm not happy about this--it's my only means of contact with most of you. But this is broken. And when stuff fails to function properly, I wonder what it's doing other than what it should. Which is to say, it becomes a !security risk.

David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Friday, 16-Sep-2016 07:23:04 UTC David Benfell @bobjonkman with Diaspora, my experience is you have to get a lot of software versions right. It installs under a very specific environment. It's also much more complicated than !gnusocial with your web server functioning as a proxy. This is the kind of thing that's a step too far for me.
As to switching from http to https, I think it *can* be done, but since !gnusocial now installs under https, I haven't had to try in quite a long time. !diaspora@oracle.skilledtests.com @stigatle @indi -
David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Wednesday, 14-Sep-2016 07:55:26 UTC David Benfell So now I get to figure out why, despite fixing #DNS, phpinfo() hangs. Really.
I don't even know where to begin.
And guess what? It turns out that some of the !gnusocial cryptography code depends on phpinfo(). -
David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Tuesday, 13-Sep-2016 05:59:52 UTC David Benfell Oh, man @zoowar , you can't imagine what a relief this is. I just hope it's right. The messages are all gone. !gnusocial https://cybernude.org/conversation/166283#notice-220640 -
David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Tuesday, 13-Sep-2016 05:53:49 UTC David Benfell @zoowar !gnusocial I don't know but it sure *looks* like $this should be $nli . I tried that substitution and things *look* a helluva lot better. -

David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Tuesday, 13-Sep-2016 04:39:48 UTC David Benfell Logs are in a separate notice. But setting up a new instance didn't fix it, and subscriptions are taking forever (I'm assuming they hang), so I'm ditching that effort. @zoowar !gnusocial -
David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Tuesday, 13-Sep-2016 04:33:21 UTC David Benfell I tried setting up a new !gnusocial instance on https://n4rky.me . But things seem really awful there. Subscriptions never complete. And I still see in the logs:
[Mon Sep 12 21:30:48.066537 2016] [:error] [pid 13163:tid 37174202368] [client 78.46.90.23:38945] PHP Notice: Undefined property: ActivityVerbPostPlugin::$notice in /var/www/new-gnu-social/gnu-social/lib/activityhandlerplugin.php on line 556
[Mon Sep 12 21:30:48.066565 2016] [:error] [pid 13163:tid 37174202368] [client 78.46.90.23:38945] PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/new-gnu-social/gnu-social/lib/activityhandlerplugin.php on line 556
Which suggests to me I haven't solved the problem by setting up a new instance. -

David Benfell (benfell@cybernude.org)'s status on Tuesday, 13-Sep-2016 03:55:47 UTC David Benfell Because I haven't been able to solve the "undefined property" messages on https://cybernude.org, I have created a new !gnusocial instance on https://n4rky.me .
