Today in Labor History July 4, 1883: Rube Goldberg, who worked hard to make simple things outrageously difficult, was born. He was a writer, engineer, sculptor and cartoonist. He won a Pulitzer for his political cartoons. Hired as an engineer to design San Francisco’s sewers in 1904, he quit after six months to become a cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Je ĉi dato en 1883 naskiĝis Rube Goldberg, kartunisto, kies
desegnaĵoj pri trokomplikaj maŝinoj por simplaj taskoj ĝojigis multon trans la mondo. Sed lia ĉefa laboro konsistis el politika komento per kartunoj. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg

@Pinballgypsy You got to watch the on page video of it in motion with all the pinballs running through it taking different courses. I'd put a motor on this thing and let it run all day like a clock ⏰️

You could buy one of these shaving thing-a-ma-jigs, replace the suction cups with grommets, and then either get two cheap tripods to attach the grommets to, or put eye-hooks on your ceiling and dangle down lines to tie to the grommets. Simple! #Overcomplicated #RubeGoldberg -ian.

Feeding the Pixels

I use an automated, commercial service(1) to post my photos to Instagram & Facebook (and birdsite, in the past). It's worth it, to me, to be able to shoot, edit, and schedule on the weekend and have posts show up all week long.

Unfortunately, that same service doesn't support ActivityPub. Several people have asked and, maybe, it'll show up later...but it is an impediment to my process. So, I found Instagram2Fedi (https://github.com/Horhik/Instagram2Fedi) (or I2M, from here on) and started building what I wanted.

What did I want? It's not a perfect solution but I wanted a cron job that looks for new Instagram posts and, if it finds them, mirrors them to PixelFed. (There are lots of ways this solution could be better but, as of now, either Instagram doesn't support them or my posting service doesn't.).

So, first, I2M requires you to provide Instagram credentials so that it can login on your behalf to scrape your images & repost them. (In the Fediverse, I can generate an API token like it's 2022...but not so much for IG.). Unfortunately, this didn't work for me -- instead of getting authenticated, I got a challenge that required me to copy a link, go to a browser, paste it, agree that this was, in fact, me, and...by that time, I2M had failed out. Endless loop.

After a lot of reading, testing, and playing, I realized something important: IG doesn't require credentials the first time you browse. You can do that anonymously. It's only after you've browsed over some threshold that it'll require a login. So, even though I'm not exactly a Python programmer, I started poking at I2M and made the credentials optional.

This led to my second problem...as written, I2M wants to run continuously. Scrape, post, sleep, scrape post, sleep. while True:. So, I added a new config option to say, hey, I really only want to run this once.

Now I had what I wanted. If I was a normal geek, I would've added that to crontab and called it a day...but I haven't spent the last few years in Kubernetes for nothing. All the automation around here happens on the k8s cluster and this is not going to be an exception. Spent a bit of time putting it together and, now, a job runs once an hour to see if I've posted anything to IG. If I have, it magically appears in @Neilcar@pixelfed.social.

I've submitted a pull request for all the changes to I2M and, if anybody else would benefit from sharing the k8s YAML, I'm happy to clean that up & add it to.

As I try to focus more on #AppSec than simply #WebDev, I've been using #BurpSuite as my daily dev browser. Using #Fiddler, I can create "AutoResponder" rules that redirect or rewrite requests for one URL to another. I would be gladly proven wrong, but Burp doesn't seem to have this capability. I guess it doesn't make sense for normal black-box #PenTesting but I'm dealing with a weird dev environment by setting Fiddler as an upstream proxy. #RubeGoldberg
