Unliking Impossible to remove Facebook Pages


 I recently ran into a problem of being unable to remove a facebook page from my profile.  The page linked to an off facebook website...containing no unlike button. Before I begin you might want to try something simpler such as:

http://xnotion.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Leave-a-Fan-Page-on-Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=227905267225251

I will be doing this in chrome
Begin by browsing to edit your profile. Click on the Other Pages You Like.
Step #1 right click select inspect element

Step #2  Right click on the selected element -> edit as html
Copy the web address after <a href=” you will need this later
in this example it is
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon?ref=pb

Delete the text
everything between <A …... and  </a>

Step #3 Insert the following text

<a ajaxify="/ajax/pages/fan_status.php?fbpage_id=XXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;add=0&amp;reload=1&amp;preserve_tab=0&amp;use_primer=1" href="#" rel="async-post" onclick="">Unlike</a>

Step #4 find the fbpage_id

You can find this by opening a new browser window to https://graph.facebook.com/user-name
Where the user-name is the URL of the site you are trying to remove. For example
The ID is "id": "163113980415454",

Step #5 insert the ID in place of  XXXXXXXXXXXX in

<a ajaxify="/ajax/pages/fan_status.php?fbpage_id=XXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;add=0&amp;reload=1&amp;preserve_tab=0&amp;use_primer=1" href="#" rel="async-post" onclick="">Unlike</a>

so that It looks like

<a ajaxify="/ajax/pages/fan_status.php?fbpage_id=163113980415454&amp;add=0&amp;reload=1&amp;preserve_tab=0&amp;use_primer=1" href="#" rel="async-post" onclick="">Unlike</a>

Step #6 Click the page link that now says Unlike

P.S. The example used was not removed from my facebook page, since I actually like that link, but it was the only out of Facebook link left that I knew about :D

Fail2ban Rules for Foundry VTT

Leave a comment if you like, hate, or find something confusing. This guide covers the steps required to create your own fail2ban jails, using foundryvtt as an example. *Warning I take some playful liberty at the start of this post. Welcome fellow nerds, geeks, otaku, or whatever you smartypants call yourselves. I'm assuming you might fit one of the following categories probably because you either know what Fail2ban is you nerd, or you know what FoundryVTT is you DnD tabletop (but on computer) roleplaying geek . Now that i've gotten the tongue in cheek (insults/compliments) aside I have a confession to make. I know what both of those things are so does that make me like a Generked? Okay I just mixed the two words together, that might be good for a riddle or puzzle in some future game. Anyways enough blabbing, you are probably here for the technical content anyways. Everything that i'm writing is assuming you use an Ubuntu/Debian based Linux distribution. Most Linux distros ...

Fail2ban Behind Reverse Proxy

Image
Assumptions, Prerequisites, Prior Set Up This guide is for when the reverse proxy & FoundryVTT server are both on separate machines This guide builds upon the prior one and details how to setup fail2ban to block bad bots, automated login attempts, and repeated connection attempts that are likely malicious, when your server is behind a reverse proxy.  If you haven't taken a look already my prior post detailed how to go about setting up fail2ban rules. https://blog.iterlyze.com/2024/11/fail2ban-foundryvtt.html  This guide assumes you are using a Debian 12 server (or Ubuntu) and have a basic idea of how to use a Linux shell. Some other assumptions that won't affect setting up fail2ban include that you are using Nginx as the reverse proxy, nftables as your system's firewall frontend, and that you are forwarding traffic to a FoundryVTT server. Make sure the reverse proxy and the server it sends traffic to is working before trying to set up fail2ban. If you are setting up Fou...

Leadership Training 2

Image
Recently I was invited to conduct a leadership workshop at California State University of Monterey Bay for the Networking and Security Team. They wanted the training to focus in on getting things done, so I put together a few fun training activities that help with communication, self-direction, teamwork, and having more effective meetings. Activities build leaders faster than lectures in my experience. Check out the slides and try a few of the activities for yourself! When talking about leadership a general discussion about what a leader is, is in order. When asked many of the participants shared ideas such as "A leader is someone who gets things done", "Someone who steps up", "An active listener", "Leaders are people that others follow". We didn't get too deep into what a leader was in this training and focused more on a few of the skills. If you are interested in diving a little deeper into some of the details of leadership i've foun...
