Re: RFC: Don't use DuckDuckGo 2 years ago

From Steven Guikal to ~sircmpwn/public-inbox

Hey,

Just wanted to provide some surface level comments. I'd also usually
discuss these kinds of things in a more synchronous format like IRC
(#sr.ht.watercooler) to clarify details, but I'll give this a shot.

Haven't read this in a while, but I believe most of its criticisms are
from a non-privacy standpoint. I think it also makes a *very* important

Quick testing (http://%3127.0.0.1) with Firefox, Chromium, curl, and
Python's requests and urllib show they all percent decode the host even
if it is an IP address.

Re: Some Questions on encoding/base64 2 years ago

From Steven Guikal to ~sircmpwn/hare-dev

Hey,

I'm the one who originally implemented the base64 encoding and I based
my decision of not allowing improper padding (mentioned in the docs) or
invalid characters (like newlines) on the Security Considerations
described in the RFC:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#section-12

Essentially, loosely allowing these could covertly send data across
applications and as such, it should be handled explicitly.

Thanks,
Steven

`./configure` works but `make` fails:

make: *** No rule to make target 'include/tags.h', needed by 'src/check.o'.  Stop.

Whoops nevermind. I meant to say that not all Open Souce is Libre
Software and you already show that. The rest still stands, I think.
