What are the odds of getting away with taking a no longer maintained #AGPL licensed project, modernizing the parts that need modernization adding features and allowing people to use it for free (since it's just clientside, so all it means for me is a few requests to static files), without being willing to hand out the changes? Or am I better off just not allowing others to use it, so no one can demand the code legally?

Anniiii,

@WPalant Of course, "merely curious". Totally not planning on doing it haha Though just in case, another hypothetical: Would it be better to credit the original project to acknowledge their work(which seems right from an ethical perspective) or leave that out to make it less obvious that the origin is AGPL?

But yeah I didn't know how sue-hungry the GNU/FSF crowd is, but if legal conflicts are rare that is good news for me.

Stupid question: assuming I enable http basic auth for a website, will fetch on that page send the respective auth headers if I fetch from the same origin? If not: is there a way I can make it do that?

Kind of tempted to maybe split my account into one for just the tech stuff and one for the more personal/slice of life (and also the other follow-only stuff I post). Probably would make it easier for people to follow the part they care about, but also I'm kind of worried the tech account wouldn't get a lot of posts, at least currently, and the non-tech one would get pretty much no one actually caring enough to follow it, so eh.

Anniiii,

Okay, maybe adding a poll helps me decide, which one(s) would you follow?

Anniiii,

Also kind of not sure what instance I'd put the personal acc on. (because my main client can't handle multi accounting on the same instance without having to host it under 2 urls; Also I'm kinda curious how it compares to be on a bigger instance with a actual local timeline that isn't just me, etc.). Feel free to give suggestions for well moderated(0 tolerance for bigotry, no untagged NSFW content, etc.), (primarily) english speaking ones without tech-focus, though ^^ (If the userbase has a fair number of fellow LGBTQIA+ and/or neurodivergent folks, even better)

Anniiii,

@WPalant Oh thanks, strangeobject.space seems like it might be a good fit, do you by any chance know their bio and post length limits? (since the default ones of mastodon are kind of way too short imho)

I keep getting this horrid urge to write "DNS Mastery." Please stop me.

Anniiii,

@mwl I mean DNS is fun, so why not? Any particular focus?

Compilers are my passion https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/temp-files-generated-by-clexe-never-gets-deleted/1312946

Anniiii,

@vitaut I mean it's developed by microsoft, what did you expect. After working in a pretty much all microsoft products where possible company for about 2.5 years I'd be surprised if you showed me a microsoft product that wasn't a pain.

Anniiii,

@vitaut I mean fair, you probably haven't had to suffer through TFVC (their old crappy version control system that is deprected by now but we only recently moved even just parts to git. It has no really usable CLI and no really working integrations into anything that isn't visual studio, is slow as crap and has a ballache of other issues, especially in regards to noticing file adds/deletes if you don't do them through the visual studio GUI (which will take way longer if you are in a TFVC project then it should)) before so that's probably a fair assessment

Protip: If you care how I think about you, don't talk positively about btrfs in front of me. I'm allergic against advocates of poundland zfs, so I will like you a lot less afterwards(or just straight up block you depending on mood). If you want zfs just use zfs, not some crappy linux-only "alternative".

Anniiii,

@WPalant HEY!

Anniiii,

@WPalant Rude! I'm not that bad!

Anniiii,

@WPalant Not that many. Just don't be written in rust, don't try to replace a already existing standard tool (like e.g. all this new crap like exa, ripgrep, neovim etc. or the 100 sound servers and init systems over on linux or in this case btrfs trying to replace already existing zfs) and don't be maintained by GNU or redhat and there is a 95% chance I'll not yell at people who use it.

Anniiii,

@WPalant Eh, I don't yell at people who use mozilla products, I just choose to not use them myself and will get annoyed if you try to yell at me to use them. As long as you don't yell at me to use firefox I won't care less what browser you run. (Though there is no guarantee I'll never add things to websites that make them less usable on firefox just to spite the annoying part of the userbase, accepting the others suffering as casualty)

Anniiii,

@WPalant Eh, give the computer industry a few years and I might end up only using my O2s running IRIX from back when tech was actually nice to use and avoid modern computers all together where possible haha Can't yell at you over the internet from a system without a modern browser xD

Anniiii,

@WPalant I couldn't tell you off the top of my head, since I've not really opened the browser. I don't have any html documents stored locally on it and I'm for sure not gonna plug a machine that old into the internet haha Though I could check after work if you want haha

Slightly more than a year ago I concluded that using Markdown in Mastodon posts would be a footgun – most people following me wouldn’t be able to see the formatting. https://infosec.exchange/@WPalant/109293179924404718

Things move really fast however. This issue was fixed in Mastodon 4.2.0, which was released in September last year. Just a few months later 79% of Mastodon instances have rich text support according to Fediverse Observer data. And the instances without support for rich text represent merely 16% of the active users (once you ignore daystorm.netz.org, a test instance massively skewing the results). And the most popular outdated instance is pawoo.net which is suspended here anyway.

Guess I can use Markdown without second thoughts now.

Edit: On a second look, the official Mastodon app for Android supports barely any HTML tags. There is an issue about displaying lists correctly (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/152), and there is a more than a year old pull request fixing it. Neither received any real attention from the devs. 🤦‍♂️

I guess it’s still a footgun. Thanks to @ics for pointing this out.

Anniiii,

@WPalant Good to know I can use it, if my client of choice ever supports it (which probably won't happen unless semaphore has a major security issue forcing me to switch client, because it's no longer maintained so no new features and no security fixes and I'm not gonna fork a AGPL project)

Anniiii,

@WPalant I mean my client can render it just fine (I know that, because I have seen people use it), I just can't make posts like that myself. (I mean it would be a fairly easy patch to add it, but I'm not gonna do it because AGPL)

Beware: Hot reloading for statically hosted html files without a backend. (yes, you are allowed to yell at me, can't stop me though 🤭)

Anniiii, to javascript

Since this is a pain to google (or at least I can't find good search terms that won't lead it to give me completely different stuff, then what I want), lemme ask here:

Is there some way in to get the currently displayed html file as a string (exactly the way the server sent it on page load and without it repeating the network request)? I mean I know the browser will cache the html file it got from the server, so surely there should be a way to read from that cache whilst I'm on that page, right?

Anniiii,

@WPalant ah I see, well the more you know haha Though I tend to not process text that needs sanitizing but can have some tags, so this won't affect anything I wrote so far

Anniiii,

@WPalant I-I mean regex replacing all < and > with the escape codes solves all issues, right? ^^'

Anniiii,

@WPalant yeah, ideally the framework does it, but couldn't let the framework do it there, because I needed my own tags that I inserted into the users input (after sanitizing) so had to tell the framework to treat it as raw html

I guess I should be happy that the company provides a vulnerability disclosure program. But requiring that one logs in via a particular social network… Ugh.

Anniiii,

@WPalant well I mean at least they have no "bug bounty, but it's really just us paying you hush money, so you can't publicize it anymore"
