One thing about my design here is that it would no longer incorporate âregexâ-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 Iâm 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?!)
Also spent the morning continuing to think about a new design for EdgeGuardâs WAF. Iâm basically going to build an entirely new pluggable WAF that will be designed to only consider Rate Limiting, IP/ASN-based filtering, JavaScript challenge handling, Basic behavioral analysis and Anomaly detection.
The only part of this design Iâm not 100% sure about is the Javascript-based challenge handling? đ€ Iâm also considering making this into a âproof of workâ requirement too, but I also donât want to falsely block folks that a) turn Javascriptâą off or b) Use a browser like links, elinks or lynx for example.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Yes, there are interesting things that can be incorporated to see how they work.
The issue of allowing the use of Z for UTC is interesting. I think I should add a brief explanation.
The url issue is for a debate :D . Maybe an issue could be opened. My opinion is that it is necessary to leave it as it is right now because otherwise the thread system, or replies, may have problems (404s). Itâs all a matter of discussion.
I like your idea of contact. I will add it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @quark@ferengi.one In 2014 one person created protocol ii. Later it forked in IDEC. Why i said this? Because itâs simple âfederatedâ forum-like protocol where from your station fetch another every 5-10 minutes. Stations has topic-based channels like idec.talks, linux.16, haiku.os, zx.spectrum. In short itâs FIDO but.. more modern? Documentation: https://github.com/idec-net/new-docs (mostly Russian, but you can use translator, also protocol already translated to english)
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt nah, Iâm fine without a web ui. But I like what the dev did with the 2009 facebook/VK look, it kind of feels notsalgic. (the tld is a .me not a .com if anyone else wants to take a look atit)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de mine too, mine too! Imagine my frustration being married to someone who prefers the heat. Itâs like a polar bear married to a desert rat. LOL.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de âtopic-based forums/groupsâ, you mean what USENET used to be, and the ânicheâ that Reddit is fulfilling these days? :-D I get it, I agree. I think I find twtxt more fulfilling than anything else because of its small size. I feel like I truly know everyone (even if that might not be true), and find myself âat homeâ. The bigger the place, the shyest I become, the less enticing it is.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is so real⊠i think we need to bring back topic focused groups but like with a little off topic side of things just in case people wanna go off topic. so the optionâs there but the intent is the topic! microblogging isnât best for this yeah. i think this is part of why IRC still goes strong for many tech people
@bender@twtxt.net Itâs like having good manners at the table. Use forks and knives. ;-)
Confession:
Iâve never found microblogging like twtxt or the Fediverse or any other âmodernâ social media to be truly fulfilling/satisfying.
The reason is that it is focused so much on people. You follow this or that person, everybody spends time making a nice profile page, the posts are all very âego-centricâ. Seriously, it feels like everybody is on an ego-trip all the time (this is much worse on the Fediverse, not so much here on twtxt).
I miss the days of topic-based forums/groups. A Linux forum here, a forum about programming there, another one about a certain game. Stuff like that. That was really great â and it didnât even suffer from the need to federate.
Sadly, most of these forums are dead now. Especially the nerds spend a lot of time on the Fediverse now and have abandoned forums almost completely.
On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags, which somewhat emulates a topic-based experience. But itâs not that great and the protocol isnât meant to be used that way (just read the snac2 docs on this issue). And the concept of âlikesâ has eliminated lots of the actual user interaction. âčïž

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When I reply to a message, I typically already mention the feed. Just like in this very message. I believe this mechanism should work for most replies. But there are of course the odd responses where I do not mention the original feed, but rather some other feed(s) instead to which I actually want to reply. Maybe âforkingâ, as prologic calls it, would be the better option there.
@prologic@twtxt.net hahahahaha! No, no, no. Every word has its use. But for things like these I like certain reactions. For example, I would have given a âthumbs downâ to the original twtxt, and done with it. Now, composing a reply, to simply say âno, thank you.â, that I donât like.

that said, and reading to @sorenpeter@darch.dk and @andros@twtxt.andros.dev I have new thoughts. I assume that this wonât change anyoneâs opinions or priorities, so it makes no harm sharing them.
Itâs always tempting to use something that already exists (like X, Masto, Bsky, etc.) rather that building anything through effort and disagreement until reaching to something useful and valuable together. A âsocial serviceâ is only useful if people is using it.
Iâll add that I havenât lost interest on the âhackyâ part of twtxt about developing tools, protocols, and extensions as a community. Itâs the appealing part! Itâs a nice hobby to have, shared with random people across the world.
But this is not the right way for me, and makes me feel that Iâm unwelcome to propose something different (after watching replies to my previous twt). Feels like âIf you donât agree, you are free to leave, weâll miss you.â Naah, not cool. Iâve lived that many times before, and nowadays I donât have enough spare time and energy for a hobby like that.
Letâs see what happens next with the micro-community!
@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure Iâd attach any if clauses to this. My point is: Every time I see a hash, Iâd like to have a hint as to where to find the corresponding twt.
How LWN is faring in 2025
Just over six years ago, The Economist described the US economy as â the envy of the\âšworldâ. That headline would be unlikely to appear now. The economic
boom referenced in that article feels like a distant memory, markets are
falling, and uncertainty is at an all-time high. Like everybody else, LWN

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If weâre focusing on solving the âmissing rootsâ problems. I would start to think about âclient recommendationsâ. The first recommendation would be:
- Replying to a Twt that has no initial Subject must itself have a Subject of the form (hash; url).
This way itâs a hint to fetching clients that follow B, but not A (in the case of no mentions) that the Subject/Root might (very likely) is in the feed url.

gah iâve been so busy working on love4eva! TL;DR i switched image backends from the test/dev only module i was using to the S3 one, but with a catch - iâm not using S3 or cloud shit!!! i instead got it to work with minio, so itâs a middle ground between self hosting the image uploads & being compatible with the highly efficient S3 module. iâm super happy with it :)
i posted a patreon update that details the changes more: https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-am-now-working-127687614
that post says i didnât update my guide yet but i actually did like right after i made that post lol so you can CTRL+F for minio stuff there!
Once or twice a year, I make an effort to switch from dark mode / black terminals to light mode again.
It usually doesnât end well, because the contrast is just not as good. Thereâs a reason that things like professional DAWs or CAD software use a dark theme.
With a heavy bold font, itâs much better:

My font doesnât get any bolder than this, though. Iâd have to make a new variant of it. Mhh. đ€
