In-reply-to » @lyse what is the advantage for keeping it small? Will tt/tt2 bog down if your feed isn't rotated?

@bender@twtxt.net basically because we don’t readily use or support range hunters when requesting feeds it’s ideal to keep feed small for the time being at least until we think about writing up a formal specification for this, but it’s also only for Http hosted feeds

In-reply-to » @bender Basically the way I'm reading this is 1 RPM. This is a rather aggressive rate limit actually. This basically makes Github inaccessible and useless for basically anything unless you're logged in. You can basically kiss "pursuing" casually, anonymously goodbye.

@bender@twtxt.net 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net I normally don’t myself either, but that saide, I think that’s kind of @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s point right? This new unauthenticated rate limit is absurd! 😱 You may as well just fucking 403 Forbidden and be done with it 🤣

Imagine if I imposed that kind of rate limit on twtxt.net?! 🤣

In-reply-to » I'm thinking of bringing back filters (this time not as a feature flag, just baked in): New filters: Hide Feed, Hide Bots, Hide News, Media Only, No Replies, Local Only — toggle to trim noise & surface the Twts you care about.

@bender@twtxt.net Good , glad you agree 👍

I’m also thinking of adding eye-off icon next to every Twt that, when clicked, hides that feed (tooltip: “Hide this feed”). This would work with the filters as a “temporary additive filter” to restrict/control the current view.

In-reply-to » last night my timeline randomly reset to only show my own recent twts and i restarted my instance a few times and pulled from main and shit and it didn't change but it seems fine now lol?!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It’s also perfectly safe to nuke your cache as well. i.e: rm data/cache* and it’s all good, things will just get rebuilt 👌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Hmmm Please if this happens again, help me reproduce it. Any clues in the logs? Hmm? 🧐 My own pod has been running flawlessly for weeks now 😅

Hmmm Star Wars Andor I think it was 🤔

In-reply-to » My main domain name turned 24 years old today. That feels weird.

According to a very old email one of my more personal family domains was registered in 2013 making it 12 years old, so I was closed 🤣 my public facing one is much much older 🤣

@anth@a.9srv.net I actually don’t have a clue how old my public-facing domain is 🤣 I have another more personal one that’s probably around ~15 years, but I’m not even sure how to check tbh 😅

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?!)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I agree with this sentiment 🙌

In-reply-to » Also spent the morning continuing to think about a new design for EdgeGuard's WAF. I'm 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.

And yes I’m taking some inspiration from Anubis here 😅

Also spent the morning continuing to think about a new design for EdgeGuard’s WAF. I’m 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 I’m not 100% sure about is the Javascript-based challenge handling? 🤔 I’m also considering making this into a “proof of work” requirement too, but I also don’t want to falsely block folks that a) turn Javascript™ off or b) Use a browser like links, elinks or lynx for example.

Hmmm 🧐

In-reply-to » i started a little thing on my dreamwidth and called it a flash prompt box. basically it's a limited time thing where people can prompt me for stuff i'm offering, like short fanfiction, photoshop-edited user icons, music recs, and a bit more! i'm having sooo much fun with it so far it's been a blast just making stuff for friends :)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You’ll have to forgive me 🙏 My vision impairment is getting in the way of seeing this “prompt box” thingy 🤣

In-reply-to » grafana is confusing af i deployed it again for my job (that is so wild to say...) and i'm like HOW DO THESE ALERTS WORK

Move beyond basic threshold alerts! Define clear Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and measure Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to track real user impact. Use Prometheus to alert when your SLOs are at risk, ensuring you focus on what truly matters to your users. #Monitoring #SRE #Prometheus
