Add ability to disable the suspicious sign in detector
The CatCatNya~ production config has an IP retention period of one day. That will cause suspicious login emails to be sent out simply because we don't have any known IP data.

Therefore, add an option disabling it.

Catstodon

Introduction

This Mastodon fork is based on the glitch-soc Fork of Mastodon, with changes made to suit CatCatNya~. I intend to contribute some useful differences back to glitch-soc and vanilla Mastodon.

To install, take a look at glitch-soc.github.io/docs/. The instructions and features are the same, except for the differences outlined below.

Contributing guidelines are available here.

Note: Use the main branch only for forks. develop branch may, at times, be force-pushed to (mostly for undoing cherry-picking of vanilla commits when upstream adopts them). I highly suggest only ever running the main branch in production, as is done for CatCatNya~! I also highly suggest not rebasing on this if you are maintaining a fork, instead, use merge (fast-forward, if possible, with merge commit otherwise).

Differences

  • Some files are adjusted specifically for the CatCatNya~ instance. Specifically, these:
    • sounds/boop.mp3
    • sounds/boop.ogg
      You might want to revert these to the upstream files (or your own versions!) if you decide to use this fork for your own instance.
  • The rate limits for authenticated users have been relaxed a bit.
  • The API endpoint /api/v1/custom_emojis is no longer affected by AUTHORIZED_FETCH, allowing anyone to copy custom emojis.
  • Allow higher resolution images. (4096x4096 instead of the previous limit of 3840x2160)
  • Allow posting polls with only one poll option (if MIN_POLL_OPTIONS is set to 1 on your instance).
  • Added oatstodon flavour (taken from types.pl fork, by @oat@hellsite.site), with slight adjustments since.
  • Emoji reactions on statuses (with both Unicode and custom emojis, same as for announcements), a feature originally developed for Nyastodon. Ended up as a Catstodon-maintained patch after its initial two Pull Requests to glitch-soc, but was handed over to Essem's fork, Chuckya and is now pending its fourth attempt of merging into glitch-soc.
  • Lifts the "only federate local favourites" restriction on favourites/likes and emoji reactions.
  • Cherry-picks the activity filter branch from Sakurajima Mastodon.
  • Adds the ability to disable the suspicious sign in detection entirely.
    • Useful for situations where the instance may not have up-to-date IP information, such as when the period of IP address retention is set to a low value (see Previous differences now merged into vanilla Mastodon)

Previous differences now merged into glitch-soc

  • Fixed incorrect upload size limit display when adding new a new custom emoji. (Pull request)
  • Everything merged into vanilla Mastodon
