Hello Drew,

Thank you for your blog all these years. I've found many interesting 
ideas and things I relate to. Thank you for the nice software and 
Sourcehut as well, one of the handful of ethical companies in the 
industry. I'm looking forward to your future work knowing it will be 
respectful to users and of high quality.

All the best,
Sotiris

Hi all,

I think the restricted mode was added to AV-98 because Solderpunk was 
offering a public instance over SSH. Restricted mode seems to disallow 
disk writes, certificates and other features which could be used to 
attack the computer running the public instance. Thus I think it's 
probably safe to remove given Offpunk's focus.

The problem is that given the URL

http://example.com/cat.jpeg%3B%20rm%20-rf%20%2f

and the decoded path

cat.jpeg; rm -rf /

passing it to e.g. xdg-open like so

xdg-open cat.jpeg; rm -rf /

will first call the xdg-open command with cat.jpeg as an argument and 
then call the rm command. The correct way would be to call xdg-open like

Here are some finger URLs I've used to test my own client:

finger://tilde.team
finger://mozz.us/michael
finger://hitchhiker-linux.org/nathan

The path component is the query, typically a username. There's not much 
stuff on finger but you come accross it occasionally on Gemini or Gopher 
and implementing it is trivial so I went for it.

I haven't applied a patch through mutt/neomutt myself so it's great to 
have this reference.

Thanks for making offpunk!

No worries, I'm new to git over email as well. You sent the patch to the
correct list.

Thanks for the patch but I just pushed a new version that removes the
prev command (I wasn't using it) so it's no longer required.

Sorry for the double email myself, I forgot to reply to the list. :D
