Netcraft, on behalf of Facebook, have reported this post to DigitalOcean as phishing as my droplet is going to be suspended within 24 hours if I don't remove it https://rknight.me/blog/convert-spotify-facebook-to-email-login/

What the actual fuck.

@robb host anything static on AWS cloudfront or bunnyCDN

Tell DigitalOcean to F-off by not spending with them.

@robb I filled out the form on Netcraft and got the following reply "Thank you for contacting us.

We have reviewed the site and agree that it was incorrectly identified as phishing. We have now halted the takedown process and sent retraction messages to all parties contacted. We have also removed the site from our phishing blocklist.

Kind regards,

Netcraft"

@robb Thankfully it's backed up to archive.org

But also yeah, wtf

@robb Wow, that's bad. It's also a four year old post. It's not like they're on the ball, if it's been up for 4 years.

    @ehqo 👍 My site will be backup within minutes if they take my droplet down, I will not take be taking that post down.

    @robb@social.lol avatar

    brb making a backup of my server

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    Not a fucking chance I'm taking the post down. My guess is the clowns who made this "report" don't have a single human reviewing anything before they send reports https://www.netcraft.com

    And DigitalOcean for that matter.

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    Look at this ridiculous abuse report https://incident.netcraft.com/3ee0db5c9a6a/

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    appears to be sorted from netcrafts end but how is this okay as a response? fuck you for threatening me with losing my server with 24 hours.

    @robb That's literally worse than just going "Oops, our bad 🤪 "

    @robb They did say kind regards sooo…

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    I’ve had a real response from Netcraft now. “Thank you for contacting us” 🙄

    mattrambles,

    @robb “Sorry for nearly nuking your server from orbit based on a false report, by the way.”

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @mattrambles I’m furious right now.

    mattrambles,

    @robb Sorry, wrong time to joke about it. I’d be peeved.

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @mattrambles haha it’s fine honestly. Just so much effort to move off of digital ocean.

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    Time to redo my entire infrastructure

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    Response from DigitalOcean:

    > Thanks for sharing that update. It looks like this was a false positive, sent over via Netcraft. There's no reason to worry, this won't be suspended. Sometimes, entities will go through these brand protection agencies a bit overzealously.

    "no reason to worry”. OH REALLY. in the bin with you.

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    I could have just left my sites on DigitalOcean but on principle I'm moving everything off of it.

    pawel,

    @robb on my profile there’s ref link for hetzner cloud. Ref link gives you about 20 free bucks and I highly recommend them. My entire instance is hosted on their ARM cloud!

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @pawel Thanks - I'm actually doing exactly that already with a referral from someone else.

    nicolas,
    @nicolas@social.lol avatar

    @robb mfw his sites are hosted on principle

    💩 Netcraft, Facebook, and Digital Ocean https://rknight.me/blog/netcraft-facebook-and-digital-ocean/

    Here's what went down yesterday including the full emails from Netcraft and Digital Ocean.

    @lmika@social.lol avatar

    @robb Ooh, that’s rough. Sorry you had to go through all that.

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    Aaaand I hit the Lets Encrypt rate limit again 🫠

    26 of 32 sites moved off of Digital Ocean now though 👌

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    one. site. to. go. 🙌

    kev,
    @kev@fosstodon.org avatar

    @robb If you’re not hosting with Netlify et al, what does your build process look like? Do you build then upload, or do you have some fancy shmansy thing going on that builds on the fly from git?

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @kev So now I’ve moved most of my Eleventy/static sites to Netlify. For everything else I’m using Laravel Forge which manages PHP versions, SSL, crons and some other stuff. It listens for pushes to GitHub and then runs the build scripts (usually just npm run build)

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar
    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    A quick little panic as one fuck up in an nginx file broke the entire server aaaaaand it's done. 32 sites in 24 hours moved. bye digital ocean 🖕

    flamed,
    @flamed@social.lol avatar

    @robb where have you ended up?

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @flamed A combo of Netlify and Hetzner.

    mcg,
    @mcg@social.lol avatar

    @robb Where did you move to? Do you have any confidence that the new host wouldn’t yank the sites in the same way?

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @mcg Ive moved to Hetzner. No idea if they’ll be better but I’ve used this as an opportunity to spread my sites around a bit. Previously everything was on one droplet on digital ocean.

    ben,

    @robb that’s a lot of sites, all personal?

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @ben most of these are on one server https://rknight.me/projects/

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @ben I’ve moved a bunch of the static/eleventy ones to Netlify now though

    ben,

    @robb Neat, similar to Vercel, right?

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @ben Yep

    @robb dayum

    bonoky,

    @robb Outrageous, but an unfortunately typical demonstration of what happens when there is such a huge discrepancy in the balance of power. The ones you are trying to defend yourself against have effectively unlimited resources - and just don’t care if they are wrong - what are you going to do about it.

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @bonoky Exactly. All I can do is be angry on the internet and take my money elsewhere (which I'm going to).

    georgeprobably,
    @georgeprobably@social.lol avatar

    @robb Translation: "No reason to worry, we only would have nuked all of your things out of existence without a second thought or even looking at what was being claimed"

    keenan,
    @keenan@social.lol avatar

    @robb Yo, that's stupid as hell.

    georgeprobably,
    @georgeprobably@social.lol avatar

    @robb Are you happy with me re-posting this on probably.blog as a fuck you to Facebook?

    robb,
    @robb@social.lol avatar

    @georgeprobably Have at it. I'm not taking it down, they can get fucked.

    sarajw,
    @sarajw@front-end.social avatar

    @robb what?!!! How?

    cory,
    @cory@social.lol avatar

    @robb wait what the fuck? I did this in like 2015.

    cory,
    @cory@social.lol avatar

    @robb I mean make the change not report the post
