A couple of days ago i noticed something off with blahaj.zone. I couldn't see images posted by users on blahaj, so i thought it was a problem on their side.

Well guess fucking what? After 3 days, it was STILL broken, so i opened it and...

Blocked. They fucking blocked blahaj.zone. Actually beyond parody🤦‍♂️ Why? What was the point? there's trans content literally everywhere on lemmy. what's next, block them all? So now if i want to see a post by a user on blahaj, i have to turn on my VPN (protonvpn.com is also blocked in saudi, jfc) just to see it. Fuck this place. 🙄

I swear a couple of days ago it worked. This is a mild annoyance (hence the community) but still.

It's so over guys, MBS said no more 196 😔

EDIT: This won’t work. You can “ping” blahaj successfully, but only because it redirects to a gov page, and not an error. I’ll have to revise the script because of that.

Globalping has an HTTP method, which I use in the script:

globalping http $instance from $COUNTRY

I then use ripgrep to check if the HTTP response contains the string "Blocked URL", as you can see in the script:

| rg 'Blocked URL'

The if condition uses the exit code from ripgrep to add $instance from the for loop to the blocked.txt file.

I tested this manually and it works as intended. The script could use some optimizations though. And if you intend on running the current version, you need to lower the limit of the globalping command from 3 to 1, otherwise you will run out of credits before all 8100 instances are checked. I will rewrite this to use a globalping auth token though.

Btw I also removed the https:// part from the instance list. Just opened it up in Vim, selected everything using V-Block mode and deleted it. I don't know if that makes a difference, but I'm not sure if the Globalping command can take URLs, or if it only works with domains.

Ah, it works for me now. I just ran it with ping instead of globalping, since i had no need to run it with that. And the script didn't work after i did that, i'm not great at shell-scripting.

I made a modification that prints the status, but it's painfully slow to check each site.

What do you use now? Curl? wget?

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Globalping, just as you wrote it with the limit being 1

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

That should work.
I started working on a rewritten version in Rust that uses the REST API instead of the CLI tool. Once it's done, it should be a lot faster, since it can make multiple requests simultaneously. I also plan to use this for other stuff in other countries.
