    “a lot of sanitizers don’t process them properly” holy fuck

      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 &).

            To deter over the shoulder spying my browser converts everything using rot13.

              For shouldersurfing opsec I’ve switched the keycaps on my keyboard, and now no-one can be certain which keys I’m inputting!

        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…
