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.

Recently, I've been feeling the limitations of developing Misskey as an individual.
The reason for this is, in a nutshell, that I can no longer take time for development and maintenance due to my job.
The only time I can develop Misskey and its surrounding projects is during my days off, which makes it difficult for me to do the following things, and I feel the limit of my personal development.
If you say it's a matter of motivation, that's all right, but I'm often devastated mental at work, and I can't make as much progress as I'd like.
