##### This is how to set up a triple redundant postgres.
##### Use a main box on Hetzner, a secondary small box on Hetzner in a
##### different datacenter for query replication, and a Hetzner Storage-Box
##### for file replication.

##### There will always be two copies of the data in different datacenters by the time
##### the transaction completes.

##### Here, Wireguard is used to have an internal network between the two hosts,
##### but Hetzner networks could also be used. SSH access between the two boxes

Detecting the real IP of a Cloudflare'd Mastodon instance

NB: This will not work for instances that proxy outgoing requests!

Reading the docs

I wanted to find a way to detect the real IP address of a Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey/etc instance hosted behind Cloudflare. How to do that? Well, it's federated, which means I can probably get it to send a request to a server of mine! And how to do that? I tried reading the ActivityPub spec. The following caught my attention:

Servers should not trust client submitted content, and federated servers also should not trust content received from a server other than the content's origin without some form of verification.

#The Shadow DOM Diaries

Feature design is hard, and takes time. With time, it doesn't matter how public and consistent you are with communication during design process. In the end, it all will look like a jumbled mess of emails and bug comments. That seems bad. To make things less bad, I decided to start writing these little docs. Here they are. I may add more. Or not. Whatevs.

Sometimes You Need to Build a Larger Thing First looks back at the road we've traveled.

Shadow DOM Evolution outlines the path forward.

Why Do We Only Allow Children in Insertion Points provides a glimpse into the reasoning behind current insertion point design.
