Erlang Solutions: Common MVP mistakes: How to build smart without overbuilding
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is your first real signal to the market, your team, and your investors that you’re solving the right problem in the right way. While it’s often mentioned alongside terms like Proof-of-Concept (PoC), prototype, or pilot, an MVP plays a distinct role: validating real value with real users.

i got so emo about my site not being statically generated and instead hand coded but it’s like i don’t even know if i want that because i feel most SSGs are built for blogging and continuous posting and i don’t want that i just want to make my silly pages….

that being said, the one i’d use if i did switch to one would be astro and that one is so flexible i could really do anything with it including keeping my pages as is mostly without doing the blog stuff. idk! something to consider

@movq@www.uninformativ.de the flags are SO WEIRD AND CONFUSING especially tar which all look keysmashed and make no sense and the order matters apparently?!?! and find is SO SLOW and when i look at a typical command for it on stack overflow it looks like fucking regex it’s EVILLLLL LMAO

10 Popular Songs That Are Surprisingly About Drugs
Nothing is better than a good love song or an upbeat summer hit, but sometimes those songs’ meanings can be quite deceiving. There is an endless supply of popular songs that are clearly about drugs, but some are not quite so obvious. From artists like Ed Sheeran to TLC, these artists have released music that […]

I self host a lot of stuff — these days, mostly weird little utility scripts and toys that run in the background, but also some web apps like plex, calibre, and a suite of irc things. For a long time I ran such things on a VPS, but being incredibly cheap, and hardly ever leaving my house for realsies, during the height of the pandemic I brought everything on to an aged mac mini I keep on a shelf behind some books.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … and I realized only now that that’s the guy behind godbolt.org? I never assumed “godbolt” to be a human name, more like some kind of wordplay. 🥴

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?!)

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 🧐

Investing in comfort
Getting ready for Scotland involved buying some gear – next to the required things also a headlamp, a powerbank and Merino clothes. On the surface, maybe a bit much. Did I need a new powerbank?
