Both of these attacks have used trufflehog. Is there an out of the box way to block that executable by name or signature?
Re:I Switched from Htmx to Datastar on Friday October 10, 2025 @08:49AM (#45538405)
Despite the “just figure it out” style of documentation, I still believe Hotwire + Stimulus (optional honestly) to be the best iteration of the low-JavaScript reactivity bunch.

Htmx gives me bad vibes from having tons of logic _in_ your html. Datastar seems better in this respect but has limitations Hotwire long since solved.

GOES is not quite as spatially accurate as surface mounted detectors and IIRC fails to recognize certain types of flashes that are of interest to humans. It’s more of a general intensity meter than anything like a warning system.

Were any other languages in contention here, or was it a “use what you know” kind of situation? As much as I would also like to be paid to write lisp, I couldn’t help but notice that a lot of the scarier problems solved were reasons others had chosen/built erlang.

Great post, cool system!

I can’t decide if I hate architecture-by-drawio or not.

I found mosaic which seems to be the compose tui library you mentioned. Any other projects you know of using compose interestingly?
