- Rename Mastodon::TimestampIds into Mastodon::Snowflake for clarity
- Skip for statuses coming from inbox, aka delivered in real-time
- Skip for statuses that claim to be from the future
* Use non-serial IDs
This change makes a number of nontrivial tweaks to the data model in
Mastodon:
* All IDs are now 8 byte integers (rather than mixed 4- and 8-byte)
* IDs are now assigned as:
* Top 6 bytes: millisecond-resolution time from epoch
* Bottom 2 bytes: serial (within the millisecond) sequence number
* See /lib/tasks/db.rake's `define_timestamp_id` for details, but
note that the purpose of these changes is to make it difficult to
determine the number of objects in a table from the ID of any
object.
* The Redis sorted set used for the feed will have values used to look
up toots, rather than scores. This is almost always the same as the
existing behavior, except in the case of boosted toots. This change
was made because Redis stores scores as double-precision floats,
which cannot store the new ID format exactly. Note that this doesn't
cause problems with sorting/pagination, because ZREVRANGEBYSCORE
sorts lexicographically when scores are tied. (This will still cause
sorting issues when the ID gains a new significant digit, but that's
extraordinarily uncommon.)
Note a couple of tradeoffs have been made in this commit:
* lib/tasks/db.rake is used to enforce many/most column constraints,
because this commit seems likely to take a while to bring upstream.
Enforcing a post-migrate hook is an easier way to maintain the code
in the interim.
* Boosted toots will appear in the timeline as many times as they have
been boosted. This is a tradeoff due to the way the feed is saved in
Redis at the moment, but will be handled by a future commit.
This would effectively close Mastodon's #1059, as it is a
snowflake-like system of generating IDs. However, given how involved
the changes were simply within Mastodon, it may have unexpected
interactions with some clients, if they store IDs as doubles
(or as 4-byte integers). This was a problem that Twitter ran into with
their "snowflake" transition, particularly in JavaScript clients that
treated IDs as JS integers, rather than strings. It therefore would be
useful to test these changes at least in the web interface and popular
clients before pushing them to all users.
* Fix JavaScript interface with long IDs
Somewhat predictably, the JS interface handled IDs as numbers, which in
JS are IEEE double-precision floats. This loses some precision when
working with numbers as large as those generated by the new ID scheme,
so we instead handle them here as strings. This is relatively simple,
and doesn't appear to have caused any problems, but should definitely
be tested more thoroughly than the built-in tests. Several days of use
appear to support this working properly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The major(!) change here is that IDs are now returned as strings by the
REST endpoints, rather than as integers. In practice, relatively few
changes were required to make the existing JS UI work with this change,
but it will likely hit API clients pretty hard: it's an entirely
different type to consume. (The one API client I tested, Tusky, handles
this with no problems, however.)
Twitter ran into this issue when introducing Snowflake IDs, and decided
to instead introduce an `id_str` field in JSON responses. I have opted
to *not* do that, and instead force all IDs to 64-bit integers
represented by strings in one go. (I believe Twitter exacerbated their
problem by rolling out the changes three times: once for statuses, once
for DMs, and once for user IDs, as well as by leaving an integer ID
value in JSON. As they said, "If you’re using the `id` field with JSON
in a Javascript-related language, there is a very high likelihood that
the integers will be silently munged by Javascript interpreters. In most
cases, this will result in behavior such as being unable to load or
delete a specific direct message, because the ID you're sending to the
API is different than the actual identifier associated with the
message." [1]) However, given that this is a significant change for API
users, alternatives or a transition time may be appropriate.

* Restructure feed pushes/unpushes
This was necessary because the previous behavior used Redis zset scores
to identify statuses, but those are IEEE double-precision floats, so we
can't actually use them to identify all 64-bit IDs. However, it leaves
the code in a much better state for refactoring reblog handling /
coalescing.
Feed-management code has been consolidated in FeedManager, including:
* BatchedRemoveStatusService no longer directly manipulates feed zsets
* RemoveStatusService no longer directly manipulates feed zsets
* PrecomputeFeedService has moved its logic to FeedManager#populate_feed
(PrecomputeFeedService largely made lots of calls to FeedManager, but
didn't follow the normal adding-to-feed process.)
This has the effect of unifying all of the feed push/unpush logic in
FeedManager, making it much more tractable to update it in the future.
Due to some additional checks that must be made during, for example,
batch status removals, some Redis pipelining has been removed. It does
not appear that this should cause significantly increased load, but if
necessary, some optimizations are possible in batch cases. These were
omitted in the pursuit of simplicity, but a batch_push and batch_unpush
would be possible in the future.
Tests were added to verify that pushes happen under expected conditions,
and to verify reblog behavior (both on pushing and unpushing). In the
case of unpushing, this includes testing behavior that currently leads
to confusion such as Mastodon's #2817, but this codifies that the
behavior is currently expected.
* Rubocop fixes
I could swear I made these changes already, but I must have lost them
somewhere along the line.
* Address review comments
This addresses the first two comments from review of this feature:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139336735https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139336931
This adds an optional argument to FeedManager#key, the subtype of feed
key to generate. It also tests to ensure that FeedManager's settings are
such that reblogs won't be tracked forever.
* Hardcode IdToBigints migration columns
This addresses a comment during review:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4801#discussion_r139337452
This means we'll need to make sure that all _id columns going forward
are bigints, but that should happen automatically in most cases.
* Additional fixes for stringified IDs in JSON
These should be the last two. These were identified using eslint to try
to identify any plain casts to JavaScript numbers. (Some such casts are
legitimate, but these were not.)
Adding the following to .eslintrc.yml will identify casts to numbers:
~~~
no-restricted-syntax:
- warn
- selector: UnaryExpression[operator='+'] > :not(Literal)
message: Avoid the use of unary +
- selector: CallExpression[callee.name='Number']
message: Casting with Number() may coerce string IDs to numbers
~~~
The remaining three casts appear legitimate: two casts to array indices,
one in a server to turn an environment variable into a number.
* Only implement timestamp IDs for Status IDs
Per discussion in #4801, this is only being merged in for Status IDs at
this point. We do this in a migration, as there is no longer use for
a post-migration hook. We keep the initialization of the timestamp_id
function as a Rake task, as it is also needed after db:schema:load (as
db/schema.rb doesn't store Postgres functions).
* Change internal streaming payloads to stringified IDs as well
This is equivalent to 591a9af356 from
#5019, with an extra change for the addition to FeedManager#unpush.
* Ensure we have a status_id_seq sequence
Apparently this is not a given when specifying a custom ID function,
so now we ensure it gets created. This uses the generic version of this
function to more easily support adding additional tables with timestamp
IDs in the future, although it would be possible to cut this down to a
less generic version if necessary. It is only run during db:schema:load
or the relevant migration, so the overhead is extraordinarily minimal.
* Transition reblogs to new Redis format
This provides a one-way migration to transition old Redis reblog entries
into the new format, with a separate tracking entry for reblogs.
It is not invertible because doing so could (if timestamp IDs are used)
require a database query for each status in each users' feed, which is
likely to be a significant toll on major instances.
* Address review comments from @akihikodaki
No functional changes.
* Additional review changes
* Heredoc cleanup
* Run db:schema:load hooks for test in development
This matches the behavior in Rails'
ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.each_current_configuration, which
would otherwise break `rake db:setup` in development.
It also moves some functionality out to a library, which will be a good
place to put additional related functionality in the near future.
Additionally, ActivityPub::FetchRemoteStatusService no longer parses
activities.
OStatus::Activity::Creation no longer delegates to ActivityPub because
the provided ActivityPub representations are not signed while OStatus
representations are.
I see no reason to allow more than that. Usually a redirect is
HTTP->HTTPS, then maybe URL structure changed, but more than that
is highly unlikely to be a legitimate use case.
* Fix#117 - Add ability to specify alternative text for media attachments
- POST /api/v1/media accepts `description` straight away
- PUT /api/v1/media/:id to update `description` (only for unattached ones)
- Serialized as `name` of Document object in ActivityPub
- Uploads form adjusted for better performance and description input
* Add tests
* Change undo button blend mode to difference
* Add emoji autosuggest
Some credit goes to glitch-soc/mastodon#149
* Remove server-side shortcode->unicode conversion
* Insert shortcode when suggestion is custom emoji
* Remove remnant of server-side emojis
* Update style of autosuggestions
* Fix wrong emoji filenames generated in autosuggest item
* Do not lazy load emoji picker, as that no longer works
* Fix custom emoji autosuggest
* Fix multiple "Custom" categories getting added to emoji index, only add once
* Add support for selecting a theme
* Fix codeclimate issues
* Look up site default style if current user is not available due to e.g. not being logged in
* Remove outdated comment in common.js
* Address requested changes in themes PR
* Fix codeclimate issues
* Explicitly check current_account in application controller and only check theme availability if non-nil
* codeclimate
* explicit precedence with &&
* Fix code style in application_controller according to @nightpool's suggestion, use default style in embedded.html.haml
* codeclimate: indentation + return
* Custom emoji
- In OStatus: `<link rel="emoji" name="coolcat" href="http://..." />`
- In ActivityPub: `{ type: "Emoji", name: ":coolcat:", href: "http://..." }`
- In REST API: Status object includes `emojis` array (`shortcode`, `url`)
- Domain blocks with reject media stop emojis
- Emoji file up to 50KB
- Web UI handles custom emojis
- Static pages render custom emojis as `<img />` tags
Side effects:
- Undo #4500 optimization, as I needed to modify it to restore
shortcode handling in emojify()
- Formatter#plaintext should now make sure stripped out line-breaks
and paragraphs are replaced with newlines
* Fix emoji at the start not being converted
We had returned `nil` for that case, but this raises an error instead, as a wrong usage of the method.
This method is currently only used in ActivitySerializer.
* Fix ActivityPub handling of replies when LOCAL_DOMAIN ≠ WEB_DOMAIN (#4895)
For all intents and purposes, `local_url?` is used to check if an URL refers
to the Web UI or the various API endpoints of the local instances. Those things
reside on `WEB_DOMAIN` and not `LOCAL_DOMAIN`.
* Change local_url? spec, as all URLs handled by Mastodon are based on WEB_DOMAIN
In before, the method uses stream_entry id as status id, so replied status was wrongly selected.
This PR uses StatusFinder which was introduced with `Api::Web::EmbedsController`.
* Fix language filter codes
CLD3 returns BCP-47 language identifier, filter settings expect
identifiers in the ISO 639-1 format. Convert between formats,
and exclude duplicate languages from filter choices (zh-CN->zh)
* Fix zh name
* Decouple Status#local? from uri being nil
* Replace on-the-fly URI generation with stored URIs
- Generate URI in after_save hook for local statuses
- Use static value in TagManager when available, fallback to tag format
- Make TagManager use ActivityPub::TagManager to understand new format
- Adjust tests
* Use other heuristic for locality of old statuses, do not perform long query
* Exclude tombstone stream entries from Atom feed
* Prevent nil statuses from landing in Pubsubhubbub::DistributionWorker
* Fix URI not being saved (#4818)
* Add more specs for Status
* Save generated uri immediately
and also fix method order to minimize diff.
* Fix alternate HTML URL in Atom
* Fix tests
* Remove not-null constraint from statuses migration to speed it up
- Fix assumption that `url` is always a string. Handle it if it's an
array of strings, array of objects, object, or string, both for
accounts and for objects
- `sharedInbox` is actually supposed to be under `endpoints`, handle
both cases and adjust the serializer
* Make "unfollow" undo pending outgoing follow request too
* Add cancel button to web UI when awaiting follow request approval
* Make the hourglass button do the cancelling
* Raise an error for remote url in StatusFinder
Previous implementation had allowed remote url with status id which also exists on local.
Then that bug leads /api/web/embed to return wrong embed url.
* Fix oembed_controller_spec
Using _: property names is discouraged, as in the future,
canonicalization may throw an error when encountering that instead
of discarding it silently like it does now.
We are defining some ActivityStreams properties which we expect
to land in ActivityStreams eventually, to ensure that future versions
of Mastodon will remain compatible with this even once that happens.
Those would be `locked`, `sensitive` and `Hashtag`
We are defining a custom context inline for some properties which we
do not expect to land in any other context. `atomUri`, `inReplyToAtomUri`
and `conversation` are part of the custom defined OStatus context.
Currently, private / direct posts via OStatus from AP compatible instance will be dropped due to failing to fetch AP version.
So this fallbacks to OStatus handling:
* when failed to fetch ActivityPub version
* when status is neither :public nor :unlisted
- Use statuses controller for embeds instead of stream entries controller
- Prefer /@:username/:id/embed URL for embeds
- Use /@:username as author_url in OEmbed
- Add follow link to embeds which opens web intent in new window
- Use redis cache in development
- Cache entire embed
Requires moving Atom rendering from DistributionWorker (where
`stream_entry.status` is already nil) to inline (where
`stream_entry.status.destroyed?` is true) and distributing that.
Unfortunately, such XML renderings can no longer be easily chained
together into one payload of n items.
SerializarbleResource#as_json serializes to Symbol keyed Hash, but current
implementation of LinkedDataSignature expects String keyed Hash.
So it generates broken payload.
* Add handling of Linked Data Signatures in payloads
* Add a way to sign JSON, fix canonicalization of signature options
* Fix signatureValue encoding, send out signed JSON when distributing
* Add missing security context
* Process Create / Announce activity in FetchRemoteStatusService
* Use activity URL in ActivityPub for reblogs
* Redirect to the original status on StatusesController#show
* Fallback to OStatus in FetchAtomService
* Skip activity+json link if that activity is Person without inbox
* If unsupported activity was detected and all other URLs failed, retry with ActivityPub-less Accept header
* Allow mention to OStatus account in ActivityPub
* Don't update profile with inbox-less Person object
- Tries to avoid performing HTTP request if the keyId is an actor URI
- Likewise if the URI is a fragment URI on top of actor URI
- Resolves public key, returns owner if the owner links back to the key
*Note: OStatus URIs are invalid for ActivityPub. But we have them for
as long as we want to keep old OStatus-sourced content and as long as
we remain OStatus-compatible.*
- In Announce handling, if object URI is not a URL, fallback to object URL
- Do not use specialized ThreadResolveWorker, rely on generalized handling
- When serializing notes, if parent's URI is not a URL, use parent's URL

This way you don't need to install node dependencies if you only
want to run Ruby code
* Do not raise unretryable exceptions in ResolveRemoteAccountService
* Removed fatal exceptions from ResolveRemoteAccountService
Exceptions that cannot be retried should not be raised. New exception
class for those that can be retried (Mastodon::UnexpectedResponseError)
* Wrap methods of ProcessFeedService::ProcessEntry in classes
This is a change same with 425acecfdb, except
that it has the following changes:
* Revert irrelevant change in find_or_create_conversation
* Fix error handling for RemoteActivity
* Introduce Ostatus name space
* Add dependency on idn-ruby to speed up URI normalization
* Use normalized_host instead of normalize.host when applicable
When we are only interested in the normalized host, calling normalized_host
avoids normalizing the other components of the URI as well as creating a
new object
* Improve webfinger templates and make tests more flexible
* Clean up AS2 representation of actor
* Refactor outbox
* Create activities representation
* Add representations of followers/following collections, do not redirect /users/:username route if format is empty
* Remove unused translations
* ActivityPub endpoint for single statuses, add ActivityPub::TagManager for better
URL/URI generation
* Add ActivityPub::TagManager#to
* Represent all attachments as Document instead of Image/Video specifically
(Because for remote ones we may not know for sure)
Add mentions and hashtags representation to AP notes
* Add AP-resolvable hashtag URIs
* Use ActiveModelSerializers for ActivityPub
* Clean up unused translations
* Separate route for object and activity
* Adjust cc/to matrices
* Add to/cc to activities, ensure announce activity embeds target status and
not the wrapper status, add "id" to all collections
* Add Request class with HTTP signature generator
Spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cavage-http-signatures-06
* Add HTTP signature verification concern
* Add test for SignatureVerification concern
* Add basic test for Request class
* Make PuSH subscribe/unsubscribe requests use new Request class
Accidentally fix lease_seconds not being set and sent properly, and
change the new minimum subscription duration to 1 day
* Make all PuSH workers use new Request class
* Make Salmon sender use new Request class
* Make FetchLinkService use new Request class
* Make FetchAtomService use the new Request class
* Make Remotable use the new Request class
* Make ResolveRemoteAccountService use the new Request class
* Add more tests
* Allow +-30 seconds window for signed request to remain valid
* Disable time window validation for signed requests, restore 7 days
as PuSH subscription duration (which was previous default due to a bug)
* add a system_font_ui setting on the server
* Plug the system_font_ui on the front-end
* add EN/FR locales for the new setting
* put Roboto after all other fonts
* remove trailing whitespace so CodeClimate is happy
* fix user_spec.rb
* correctly write user_spect this time
* slightly better way of adding the classes
* add comments to the system-font stack for clarification
* use .system-font for the class instead
* don't use multiple lines for comments
* remove trailing whitespace
* use the classnames module for consistency
* use `mastodon-font-sans-serif` instead of Roboto directly
* Whitelist allowed classes for federated statuses
Allowed classes are currently:
- Any microformats class (h/p/u/dt/e-*)
- the classes mention, hashtag, ellipses and invisible.
this last one is somewhat suspect, but Mastodon currently uses it to render hidden link text.
resolved#3790
* Fix code style
* Add a StatusFilter class to identify visibility of statuses by accounts
* Extract StatusThreadingConcern from Status
* Clarify purpose of checking for nil account
* Do not fall back to StreamEntry if object_type is unavailable in TagManager
Since 6d6a429af8, when Status, the only model
with stream_entry, and StreamEntry got its own logic in uri_for and
url_for, the purpose of the fallbacks to activity_type of StreamEntry
became unclear.
This commit removes the fallbacks. When adding another model with
stream_entry in future, consider to update uri_for and url_for.
* Cover TagManager more
* Do not default the format in ProviderDiscovery
The format should be determined when discovering, as it is in the current
implementation, and it is a flaw if it is not determined.
* Spec ProviderDiscovery
