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

At first I thought about running it inside termux but then I found the SMS forwarding apk which I linked in the post so I chose the easier way.

I chose flask because it’s very easy to create APIs using flask. I also tried to make the API using Java but I couldn’t figure out how to package it and host it on my server

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.

Fuck you google

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.

I call them normies not because I look down upon them or I hate them I do that because whenever I educate them to use privacy oriented services they mock me saying “you are crazy” “you aren’t president” “nobody cares about your data” yada yada yada…

It makes me frustrated :(

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

I am about to get married =)

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 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.

That won’t work because people here think the USA is an ideal country and do anything to get USA citizenship.

Yeah that could probably work, I will keep that sentence in mind

no, they will ask for proof, they will be like “ohh that’s weird, let me see if I can fix it”

yes, I agree, however if I can show them that Whatsapp is not letting me create an account they will be more sympathetic to me and would use Signal or any other privacy focused alternatives. but to achive that I have to make Whatsapp to not let me create an account.
