@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I partially agree with bender on this one I think. The way this person is abusing the /external endpoint on my pod seems to be to generate legitimate-looking HTML content for external sites, using a username that does not exist on my pod. One “semantically correct” thing to do would be to error out if that username does not exist on the pod. It’s not unlike having a mail server configured as an open relay at this point.

It would also be very helpful to give the pod administrator control over what’s being fetched this way. I don’t want people using my pod to redirect porn sites or whatever. If I could have something as simple as the ability to blacklist URLs that’d already help.

How to Run Llama LLM on Mac, Locally

@prologic@twtxt.net Hitting that URL returns a bunch of HTML even though there is no user named lovetocode999 on my pod. I think it should 404, and maybe with a delay, to discourage whatever this abuse is. Basically this can be used to DDoS a pod by forcing it to generate a hunch of HTML just by doing a bogus GET like this.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Somewhere or another, I think in a William Byrd talk, I heard it suggested that the best ideas in computer science should fit on an index card (ah yes it’s this one: https://paperswelove.org/2017/video/will-byrd-most-beautiful-program/ ). He was referring to the basic principles of LISP/the lambda calculus, which have sometimes been called the Maxwell’s equations of computer programming (by Alan Kay). Simple, short, elegant, but very densely packed with meaning–generations of people have spent their whole careers unpacking what those simple rules can do.

Much of modern software feels like the polar opposite of that. Not only can you not write it on an index card, you never will be able to because people who write software don’t seem to aspire to try. I wish more people thought this way though!

I feel like complexity is measured differently at different levels of a project..

• at the function level you use cyclomatic complexity or how many branches internally and how much you need to keep in mind as it calls out to other functions.
  
• at a file/module level is a balance of the module doing too much against being so granular that you have cross dependency across modules. I have trouble with keeping things dry at this level because it can lead to parts being so abstract or generalized that it adds complexity.
  
• at a project level i suppose its a matter of how coupled things are across sub-modules.

it works fine if you properly escape your urls!

 URIs include components and subcomponents that are delimited by
   characters in the "reserved" set.  These characters are called
   "reserved" because they may (or may not) be defined as delimiters by
   the generic syntax, by each scheme-specific syntax, or by the
   implementation-specific syntax of a URI's dereferencing algorithm.
   If data for a URI component would conflict with a reserved
   character's purpose as a delimiter, then the conflicting data must be
   percent-encoded before the URI is formed.

      reserved    = gen-delims / sub-delims
      gen-delims  = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@"
      sub-delims  = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"
