Am I tagged/labelled folks?

yeah, that was the first app I used to achieve the goal. however, for some reasons DroidCam was rejecting request from the reverse proxy, and I didn’t have any idea why. so, I thought let’s find an open-source alternative of DroidCam and then I found Remote Cam which worked great however the last commit was 2 years ago.

What made you think this is spam?

Thanks I didn’t know that

Why do you want to host it at all? I mean there are already a ton of fediverse servers out there you can tell Indian people to use one of those. also hosting is expensive unless you have a very good reason to do so

I am excited about Fediverse and how the open nature of it gave birth to thousand of open source projects.

Good question.

• I am not GreyTechno. I have just used an apk made by them to forward messages to my server.
• I got it when I went for a tour, I had to get an SIM from there because the SIM I have doesn’t work there. However since I am back home I no longer need that SIM so I thought let’s do some experiments with it.
• basically to create throwaway accounts like we use temp mails.

It’s supposed to be used to create throwaway accounts. Or to give a number for random sites which you don’t care about.

Sorry I have chosen duckdns as a domain provider… It gives some errors sometimes

You can try to reload it a few times, it will load eventually.

Sadly qwant isn’t available in my country :(

Not related to the OP’s post,

But are you using FUTO’s keyboard? I thought that because everytime someone tries to add ASCII smiley emoji FUTO removes space between colon and the last word.

Can’t we just scrape Google maps and add things to OSM? 🤔

You’ll have to look at why the upstream isn’t accepting them then. I’m not familiar with azuracast.

yes you are right, I asked it in Azuracast discord server and they said I have to manually enable “reverse proxy” option.

Thank you so much for helping me <3

ok I tried to add those two in my Caddyfile:

ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org {
	reverse_proxy http://localhost:4000/ {
		header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host}
		header_up X-Forwarded-For {host}
		header_up X-Real-IP {host}
	}
}

here is the output of a request.

2025/04/16 15:52:17.005	WARN	http.handlers.reverse_proxy	aborting with incomplete response	{"upstream": "localhost:4000", "duration": 0.000995717, "request": {"remote_ip": "103.250.137.61", "remote_port": "19389", "client_ip": "103.250.137.61", "proto": "HTTP/3.0", "method": "GET", "host": "ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org", "uri": "/static/vite_dist/assets/Roboto-Light-DHTugVNA.woff2", "headers": {"User-Agent": ["Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0"], "Sec-Fetch-Dest": ["font"], "Accept-Encoding": ["identity"], "Cookie": ["REDACTED"], "Sec-Fetch-Mode": ["cors"], "Accept": ["application/font-woff2;q=1.0,application/font-woff;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"], "Accept-Language": ["en-US,en;q=0.5"], "X-Forwarded-For": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "X-Real-Ip": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "Sec-Fetch-Site": ["same-origin"], "Alt-Used": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "X-Forwarded-Host": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "X-Forwarded-Proto": ["https"], "Referer": ["https://ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/static/vite_dist/assets/Layout-Cv860oWs.css"]}, "tls": {"resumed": false, "version": 772, "cipher_suite": 4865, "proto": "h3", "server_name": "ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"}}, "error": "writing: H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED"}

I also tried this but it didn’t work either:

ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org {
    	log {
    	    output file ./azuracast.log
    	    format json
    	}
	reverse_proxy http://localhost:4000/ {
		header_up X-Forwarded-For {request.remote}
		header_up X-Real-IP {request.remote}
	}
}

here is the azuracast.log: https://0x0.st/8fd7.bin

I am still very confused why it’s not working…

I am curious as well!!

I have also left Reddit, Facebook and instagram however quiting WhatsApp isn’t easy since all my family and friends exclusively use it

Nice, more people will use XMPP :D

I haven’t tried to scrape WhatsApp however I tried to use WhatsApp as a monitoring system so basically what I did was send CPU usage every second however it didn’t make WhatsApp ban me. They just hid my message saying it couldn’t load the message.
