To save on bandwith and avoid OOMs with large files.
Ofc, this relies on the remote server
(a) sending a content-length header and
(b) being honest about the size.
Common fedi servers seem to provide the header and (b) at least raises
the required privilege of an malicious actor to a server infrastructure
admin of an explicitly allowed host.
A more complete defense which still works when faced with
a malicious server requires changes in upstream Finch;
see https://github.com/sneako/finch/issues/224
E.g. *key’s emoji URLs typically don’t have file extensions, but
until now we just slapped ".png" at its end hoping for the best.
Furthermore, this gives us a chance to actually reject non-images,
which before was not feasible exatly due to those extension-less URLs
This actually was already intended before to eradict all future
path-traversal-style exploits and to fix issues with some
characters like akkoma#610 in 0b2ec0ccee. However, Dedupe and
AnonymizeFilename got mixed up. The latter only anonymises the name
in Content-Disposition headers GET parameters (with link_name),
_not_ the upload path.
Even without Dedupe, the upload path is prefixed by an UUID,
so it _should_ already be hard to guess for attackers. But now
we actually can be sure no path shenanigangs occur, uploads
reliably work and save some disk space.
While this makes the final path predictable, this prediction is
not exploitable. Insertion of a back-reference to the upload
itself requires pulling off a successfull preimage attack against
SHA-256, which is deemed infeasible for the foreseeable futures.
Dedupe was already included in the default list in config.exs
since 28cfb2c37a, but this will get overridde by whatever the
config generated by the "pleroma.instance gen" task chose.
Upload+delete tests running in parallel using Dedupe might be flaky, but
this was already true before and needs its own commit to fix eventually.
Currently our own frontend doesn’t show backgrounds of other users, this
property is already publicly readable via REST API and likely was always
intended to be shown and federated.
Recently Sharkey added support for profile backgrounds and
immediately made them federate and be displayed to others.
We use the same AP field as Sharkey here which should make
it interoperable both ways out-of-the-box.

`context` fields for objects and activities can now be generated based
on the object/activity `inReplyTo` field or its ActivityPub ID, as a
fallback method in cases where `context` fields are missing for incoming
activities and objects.
When no image description is filled in, Pleroma allowed fallbacks.
Those were (based on a setting) either the filename, or a fixed description.
Neither are good options for image descriptions imo, so here we remove this.
Note that there's two tests removed who supposedly tested something else.
But examining closer, they didn't seem to test what they claimed to test,
so I removed them rather than try to "fix" them.
Objects who got updated would just pass through several of the MRF policies, undoing moderation in some situations.
In the relevant cases we now check not only for Create activities, but also Update activities.
I checked which ones checked explicitly on type Create using `grep '"type" => "Create"' lib/pleroma/web/activity_pub/mrf/*`.
The following from that list have not been changed:
* lib/pleroma/web/activity_pub/mrf/follow_bot_policy.ex
* Not relevant for moderation
* lib/pleroma/web/activity_pub/mrf/keyword_policy.ex
* Already had a test for Update
* lib/pleroma/web/activity_pub/mrf/object_age_policy.ex
* In practice only relevant when fetching old objects (e.g. through Like or Announce). These are always wrapped in a Create.
* lib/pleroma/web/activity_pub/mrf/reject_non_public.ex
* We don't allow changing scope with Update, so not relevant here
Objects who got updated would just pass the TagPolicy, undoing the moderation that was set in place for the Actor.
Now we check not only for Create activities, but also Update activities.
