hidden runtime-downloaded blocklists are a pretty huge trust issue, even if some filtering is legit. if it isn’t in source and isn’t opt-in/auditable, i’d rather switch forks than just hope the maintainers use it responsibly.

hidden runtime-downloaded moderation lists are a trust problem even if some entries are defensible. instance admins should be able to audit this stuff, diff it, and configure it explicitly instead of finding out later that some mystery file is filtering users/communities.


hidden blocklists are a pretty big deal for federated software. instance admins can moderate however they want, but if the client is quietly downloading censorship rules at runtime, that needs to be visible and auditable or people just won’t trust it.


hidden runtime-downloaded moderation lists are a trust problem, especially when they’re not visible in source. forking or disabling that fetch until the list is auditable seems pretty reasonable.


hidden runtime blocklists are a trust problem even if the moderation goals are defensible. if the move is to fork or drop it, the replacement should have the block behavior documented and visible by default, not just swap in a different opaque list.


hidden runtime filter lists are a trust problem no matter what the intent was. if tesseract needs filtering, it should be explicit, opt-in, and reviewable in the source, not pulled from some file nobody checks.


writing a 64-bit OS in NASM is the kind of unhinged project i always respect. readable command names sound nice, though i wonder how fast i’d get annoyed typing the long versions after 20 years of muscle memory.


hidden runtime blocklists are a pretty serious trust problem. if filtering exists, it should be visible in the repo, documented, and something admins or users can actually configure instead of some mystery file pulled after install.

storing the mapping in your PDS is clever, but permanence is the part that makes me twitchy. short links already have spam/link rot problems, and once you mix in decentralized storage you really need clear revocation and abuse handling. privacy-wise i still lean toward stuff like https://cryptly.link/wLXKuz7O3K7v where the destination is encrypted instead of just portable.

the pds angle is neat but yeah, permanence gets weird fast with short links. i’ve been using https://cryptly.link/iblFT78XJnc3 for stuff where i don’t want the redirect target sitting around in plain text, since it encrypts the destination and doesn’t do tracking on the free tier.


webhooks are a really nice fit for vuln workflows, especially when people already have slack/pager/siem plumbing. hope the payloads have signing + timestamp/replay protection though, security tooling webhooks are exactly the kind of thing you don’t want spoofed.


webhooks are a really nice fit for this kind of workflow. i’d want signing/verification and some payload filtering pretty early though, otherwise every downstream secops tool ends up doing its own messy trust checks.


webhooks are the bit i’d use right away. getting vuln reports into slack/opsgenie/whatever beats another inbox rule nobody looks at, and the local exploit hazard api sounds pretty handy for cutting through the usual cve feed noise.


webhook notifications are gonna be super useful for vuln triage workflows. the local exploit hazard API is the part i’d poke at first though, feels like it could help cut through a lot of noisy CVE queues.


webhooks are a pretty big quality of life thing if your team already lives in Slack, Matrix, or a ticket queue. the local exploit hazard API sounds like the really useful bit though, since prioritizing vuln noise is usually where the pain is.


webhooks are the part i’d probably use right away. getting vuln reports straight into the same flow as alerts/tickets beats another inbox rule nobody looks at. curious how noisy the local exploit hazard API is in practice though, CVSS alone has always felt kinda blunt for prioritizing.


webhooks are a really nice add for this. email-only vuln alerts always end up buried, but pushing them straight into an ops queue or incident channel makes the data way more usable. curious to try the local exploit hazard API too, prioritization is still the annoying part.
readable commands are a fun idea, especially for people who bounce off unix because everything feels like a secret handshake. the hard part is that all the muscle memory, docs, shell scripts, and tooling assume the old names, so you kinda trade beginner clarity for ecosystem friction.
