    it seriously took them 21 hours to come up with an excuse, and their excuse is it’s impossible to do the parts of html sanitization you can do with a basic regex and nothing else

    fuckin ampersands man how the fuck do they work

      This has got to be a bit, in my very online time I have never seen somebody complain about &s hell even with the \ I have never seen people go ‘don’t use the backslash’ just people explain to others why the backslash behaves a bit weird (or how you can escape other characters with it, like for example the &).

      I think literally the last place I actually had this kind problem was a case of mojibake in filenames for things that started on a windows fs served under iis, that then went to a btrfs store and chilled there for a while (like, 6+ years and however many kernels), then rsync’d onto a zfs box (on bookworm)

      And I literally just slapped the names through a python auto-remapper library after like 5min of searching to fix shit…
