Running a solo Mastodon instance? Here's how to keep it clean and #gdpr compliant:
– Disable link previews: DISABLE_FETCH_PREVIEWS=true
– Purge old PreviewCards via Rails console
– Avoid federated content
– Self-author everything
– Host locally, anonymize IPs
Respectful publishing, no third-party hosting

@annaxmalina And sometimes, these #design experiments create something unexpected while looking for a certain effect. I enjoy these ambiguous graphics, don’t you? #glitch #asca #seemslike #remindsmeof #documentscanner #iriscan https://x.com/MarioBreskic/status/1957456920685502901

I am exploring the amount of glitches I can cause using a really slow memory card, a document scanner and a sheet of aluminium foil, inspired by a recent post by @annaxmalina #asca

Buying a cheap document scanner I can carry around in a bag has created far more opportunities for building #graphicdesigns than buying and using a camera ever did. The camera is overburdened with meaning, instead of being a texture scanner at a distance. #asca

And from there, I delete all #PreviewCards in #mastodon by using these commands:
1. docker compose exec web bash
2. RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console
And then I run this in the console: PreviewCard.destroy_all
This will run for a while but it should remove all stored preview cards from my mastodon server, for all posts.
And it worked. Just climb back up to my prompt by punching in “exit” until I am back home, and that issue has been fixed as well. #server #asca #mastodon #gdpr

Adding these lines to my application.env covered this issue
# do not fetch external resources
DISABLE_FETCH_PREVIEWS=true
DISABLE_EMBED_PREVIEW=true
I will need to go through my own feed next to ensure that there are no embeds left over. This is in addition to my recent purging of boosts: https://mastodon.mariobreskic.de/@mario/114982417840616548

Next thing I need to do is to turn off the mastodon-native “cards” for links, because I am future-proofing my self-hosted services against issues with the law here in Germany, especially regarding what is called “framing” here.
In short, I better not EVER have a picture anywhere on anything I self-host I have not explicitly acquired the rights to, or have made myself.
There is a whole gray market in Germany for suing the people for that. Fixing this next.
