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

@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.

@bender@twtxt.net I use it. It’s not the feature I use the most in the fediverse, but I communicate this way with several friends. For example, it’s the main way I talk to the original creator of the twtxt-el repository, the way people greet me for the first time or the way they notify me of some bugs in the software I maintain. I can even tell you that it’s the main way I talk to some maintainers of the Emacs community. If there are any of you reading my words, speak up!
Why not have the same? There are things I want to say to @prologic@twtxt.net in private, why should I have to send him an email or private IRC? Or an public twt.
Of course, here’s a topic we’ve already talked about: what is twtxt for you? For me it will always be a social network, in microblogging format, but an asynchronous way of communicating. And having a tool to control visibility is basic 😄

- movq is concerned about the volatility of their data on their current Mastodon instance due to a broken “export data” feature.
- They contacted the admins, but the issue remains unresolved.
- This led them to contemplate self-hosting.

- movq agrees, and also mentions snac as a potential option.

- movq’s change of heart:
- movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
- movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
- Resolution and compromise:
- The Mastodon admins attribute the export failure to the size of movq’s account.

- Movq also mentions that they use auto-expiring links on twtxt to reduce data storage.
