I think the network effects make email hard to replace, virtually everyone online has an email address. If this could include a migration path, with backwards compatibility with SMTP, I think it would have a better shot of getting adoption.

Modern email already depends on HTTP, with protocols like MTA-STS (https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8461/) using HTTPS/TLS to improve transit encryption, or Web Key Directory (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-koch-openpgp-webkey-s...) which uses HTTP for public key distribution. Personally I think these incremental improvements of SMTP are more promising than replacements, but we deserve better email however we can build it.

I think that statement is vacuous true for all magical thinking.

The low hanging fruit are claude.md, commits co-authored by Copilot, etc.

What are you referring to here?

Does this actually remove from history? The feature says escape, but the back button and history still show the page (Firefox on Android).

I think it's about user agency. When we say that infinite scroll is addictive, we mean that the user keeps on scrolling even when they wish they could stop. It's also about harm. Trapping users on their phones is harmful to their well-being. A person who wants to quit should be able to do so, addictivity that prevents that is harmful.

Reading the bill I see carve-outs for things like "commercial transactions", perhaps allowing Amazon and Temu to use infinite scroll, but not Facebook and TikTok

Forgejo is mention in the article, it powers Codeberg. I agree it doesn't have high adoption, but the news is that it is growing.

I may complain that I don't like the way a sleezy con man talks, and I may be able to detect his communication patterns, but that doesn't mean I want the con man to speak in a different way I can't detect as sleezy. I don't want to talk to the con man.

Obfuscating LLM output to trick the reader into thinking it wasn't LLM output is not respectful.

> respecting the reader

When people say LLM slop is disrespecting the reader, I don't think they are complaining about style.

The unlisted video indexes still exist. https://unlistedvideos.com is one example.

This is an important point, private videos should not be impacted by this as knowing the URL isn't enough to access the video. Unlisted videos are indirect-object reference by design. It's poor security, but the user is expected to understand the tradeoff (if they actually do is questionable).

I'm seeing a ton of restricted mode escapes documented online, like https://0xffsec.com/handbook/shells/restricted-shells/ so I'm not so sure. When basic utilities like less, man, and awk can run subshells it's quite a mess.

Bash restricted mode needing a chroot may suggest that Claude also needs a chroot (or restricted file permissions, jail, etc).

Does that work? I've never seen it used. It seems easy to escape.

The docs seem to suggest using alternate approaches.

Cool tool, I'm also surprised by how different the startup stacks are from the general Internet.

For HSTS, don't forget to check the preload list. Domains under .dev are all preloaded, for example, so they don't need to set the header for HSTS to apply.

> How can you check other people's certs?

There are red flags you can look for, but you need to confirm with the domain owner to be sure. CAA records can tell you what CAs are supposed to issue a certificate. Many companies always use the same CA, so a change to a different one could be suspect.

For the wiretapping scenario, domain verified certificates do not protect against that scenario. If the wiretap has full control of your server's network, then it can issue a certificate of its own. No need to compromise a CA.

Is there a detection component here too? Sandboxing development is great, but the next step is to deploy to production. How do you know if something malicious happened in the sandbox, such that you don't deploy the malware further?

> money will shift to those funds that do better

I'm not disagreeing that people invest this way, but I'd like to point out that past performance does not imply future performance, and that investors should consider factors other than just past returns.

Of course plugins that do this already exist. Save your tokens.

They probably meant it hyperbolically, but RSS was on a downward slope during that period. The recent uptick is fascinating.

https://trends.google.com/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0n5tx&date=all&ge...

Anyone know the best practices for keeping AI crawlers off your RSS feeds? I know robots.txt works for the well-behaved bots. Other tools like interstitial captchas don't as the feed readers break if you send them anything but XML.

Putting just the post intro in the feed and linking to the website feels like a safer approach, assume you have bot protections on the website, but that's a poor experience for people who want to read in their feed reader.

These approaches are obviously great if your goal is to force marketing down people's throats, but it kills the integrity of the platform.

I don't get why people would continue using Google search (other than familiarity/momentum). As a site owner I'm questioning whether I even want to be indexed by Google.

If someone enters a username that doesn't exist in the system then you randomly prompt for password or alternate method, so it looks like an account may exist.

Username enumeration isn't usually considered a vulnerability, but it does make other attacks, like credential stuffing, easier. I.E. you can focus attack resources on usernames that have active accounts.

It's very low on my list of concerns though, usually there's much worse problems when I pentest.

I have it partially right. The extensions are not yet mandatory.

https://www.feistyduck.com/newsletter/issue_137_acme_caa__ex...

One suggestion for anyone concerned about this weakness. You can use the CAA record to pin the domain to a specific certificate authority, issuance method, and account. This is imperfect, as CAA record validation (edit: of CAA extensions) is not mandatory yet. But by March 2027 all the CAs a supposed to have support.

Sprinkle some DNSSEC on the CAA record too, if you'd like.

Cloudflare origin CA is a private CA, so the CABF doesn't apply.

If the goal is to review every citation fully with 100% accuracy, then, sure, exhaustive human review is needed. But I suspect human review of a random sample would add value, catching some fraud, missing others, but having zero false positives (or as close to zero as human review can get).

An LLM could replace the random sampling. It doesn't need to be particularly good for the approach to provide value. I would worry about LLM bias though.

Another thing to consider is that readers can detect fake citations after publication, report to arXiv, and the author gets banned.

How much utilization do you have? For low scale, it's hard to beat GitHub Actions as they offer free runners for public repos and include a bunch of free hours for private repos.

Once you start paying for it, GitHub Actions runners are very expensive. I've used both Jenkins and GitLab before to self-host CI/CD, and you save so much using on-demand (or at higher scale, reserved) cloud instances. I do freelance DevOps work and I've helped clients with these sorts of challenges.

Good idea, I added a list to the indieweb wiki: https://indieweb.org/indieweb_directory#Directories_of_direc...

I've added three :)

Another index-of-indexes is https://brisray.com/web/webring-list.htm, which tracks 648 webrings!

And https://brisray.com/web/indiedirs.htm, which has some other great indieweb indexes

I maintain a similar index-of-indexes but it's intentionally non-curated, restricted to indexes that use the OPML format, and uses autodiscovery to expand the list. The site needs some work, but it's up to 356 indexes.

I'd recommend looking at anything with "planet" in the name, there are a bunch of tech communities that manage community feeds and they are high quality. There are also a ton of personal blogroll recommendations via micro.blog too.
