Erlang Solutions: Avoiding Common Startup Tech Mistakes
When you’re moving quickly in a startup, taking shortcuts in your tech stack is tempting. A quick workaround here, a temporary fix there, with plans to tidy it all up later. But later can easily turn into never.

Those early decisions, however small they seem, have a habit of sticking around. Over time, they slow you down, create technical debt, and make it harder to scale.

[$] Hardening fixes lead to hard questions
Kees Cook’s “hardening\
fixes” pull request for the 6.16 merge window looked like a
straightforward exercise; it only contained four commits. So just about
everybody was surprised when it resulted in Cook being temporarily blocked
from his kernel.org account among fears of malicious activity. When the
dust settled, though, the red alert was canceled. It turns out,
surprisingly, that Git is a tool with which one can inflict substantial … ⌘ Read more

10 Iconic “Temporary” Structures That Still Stand Today
Some of the world’s most iconic structures were never meant to stick around. Built for the World’s Fairs, quick fixes, or temporary exhibitions, these buildings were supposed to be dismantled or demolished after serving their short-term purpose. But fate—and sometimes public opinion—had other plans. Whether due to popularity, practicality, or sheer indifference, these “temporary” constructions […]

Kernel prepatch 6.15-rc6

Everything still looks fairly normal - we’ve got a bit more commits

Thanks to @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz and her shelf I finally spent several hours in the woodshop. I wanted to build two drawers for the workbench and thought that I will complete this project in no time. I’ve been so wrong again. ;-)

I didn’t draw any plans, just measured a few times and then went to cutting a bunch of particle board leftovers at the table saw. I routed rebates on the sides, fronts and backs to lap the boxes and sink in the bottom. It turned out that having no plans was a stupid idea. I cut exactly on the lines as I calculated and measured, however, the math in my head fell apart when it eventually met reality. The bottoms are too short, so I gotta glue on some strips. Also, with the longer fronts, the sides won’t work either, I have to fix them as well. :-D

Finally, the lid of my cyclone bucket broke when the negative pressure got too large. Oh well. It was just an old wood glue bucket, I’ve got another empty one, so I can use that lid but strengthen it first with some plywood. Something for future Lyse to deal with.

All in all, it was still good fun. Wood (haha) do it again, but at least with some sketches on paper. ;-)

In-reply-to » One thing about my design here is that it would no longer incorporate "regex"-based rules like OWASP, mostly because my experience thus far has taught me that these rules are kind of overly sensitive, produce false positives and I'm not sure they are really very effective. For example, why is the point of performing SQL injection detection at the Edge using a WAF if you already handle SQL properly in the first place? (seriously does anyone still construct SQL queries by hand with effectively printf?!)

@prologic@twtxt.net There have always been and there will always be people who have absolutely no clue what they’re doing. I’ve been 100% one of them when I started. Guaranteed, heaps of new SQL injections are born every single day, numbers rising.

That doesn’t justify all the WAF crap in the first place, though. In my opinion it’s just a filthy plaster applied to an injected wound. The software itself must be secure. Otherwise, don’t put that shit on the internet. Probably not even operate it at all. Nowhere. Fix it or throw it in the bin.

I want to continue learning on my own without the legacy limitations or technologies that implement twtxt. It's not a replacement for any technology, it's just my own little lab. I have also made a fork of my own client and will be focusing on it for a while. I don't expect anyone to use it, but feedback is always welcome.

I just fixed a bug in tt’s reply to parent feature. Previously, when the message tree looked like the following

Message
├╴Reply 1
│ └╴Subreply
└╴Reply 2

and “Reply 2” was selected, pressing A to reply to the parent should have picked “Message”. However, a reply to “Reply 2” was composed instead. The reason was a precausiously introduced safety guard to abort the parent search which stopped at “Subreply”, because its subject didn’t match “Reply 2”’s. It was originally intended to abort on a completely different message conversation root. Just in case. Turns out that this thoght was flawed.

Fixing bugs by only removing code is always cool. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net I can fix and make that work in the parser too. But I’m no longer sure how to cater for the general case. It’s too much to support all punctuation whilst at the same time as other contradicting rules. For example you cannot both support . in nicknames and then expect to be able to to end a mention with a . 🤦‍♂️
