I'm helping with a highly federated instance, I'm trying to track down an error but the logs are rolling over roughly every hour after being flooded with apub warnings.

{"log":"\u001b[2m2023-07-17T00:50:07.309563Z\u001b[0m \u001b[33m WARN\u001b[0m \u001b[2mactivitypub_federation::activity_queue\u001b[0m\u001b[2m:\u001b[0m Queueing activity https://**********/activities/announce/4e5ea7d8-5d06-4c35-8c83-843484ba59b9 to https://**********/inbox for retry after connection failure: Request error: error sending request for url (https://********/inbox): error trying to connect: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed:ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1919: (Hostname mismatch).  Sleeping for 60s and trying again\n","stream":"stdout","time":"2023-07-17T00:50:07.309720924Z"}

I assume these are due to sites being offline or otherwise inactive. Looking at the database I see that we have hundreds of instances that haven't received an update in over a month now. How can I stop these from flooding out logs so I can find actual errors.

Can I just remove the problem instances from the instance table? Would that stop the activity pub requests? It seems like we're sending them to reach the inbox, which is failing for various reasons.

I put this together based on another very similar script (attributed, of course) I found on beehaw that forces external links to open in a new tab. Should work on every Lemmy instance by checking the header. While it uses http*://*/* as the match, it only executes any logic if the isLemmy check returns true.

Honestly, this has improved my desktop experience significantly, it was killing me before.

Hope it helps, feedback/suggestions/contributions welcome!

I just mentioned this in my other support post, but I can't actually log out right now. I click “logout” and the page refreshes but I’m still logged in, I see a “websocket closed.” error in my console, I wonder if that’s related…

I have 2 replies to a post I made in c/cats but when I go directly to that post I don't see them. One is made by a lemmy.world user and another by a feddit user. is this a known issue?

I switched from notebook to labs recently and I'm missing how the notebook name is displayed in notebooks. it seems like the only way to know which notebook I'm in now is through the tab, but if I have multiple tabs open it compresses them.

Is there any extension or something that will display the notebook name (and make it easily editable) like in notebooks?
