@cendyne Ohai!

I have a request for some free work! I could've said "can you help with an open-source project", but that's just the same thing in a trenchcoat...

I'm helping with a tiny open-source project called Hister, currently clocking at a few thousand lines of AGPL'd Go (AFAICT, none of which was vibe-coded). The short story is "self-hosted full-text history indexing for later searching".

It has a client-server architecture, and I want to make sure that the security is at least good enough, since it deals with mostly-full-text history... I think the current model is fine, but I'm worried we might be blindsided. I've read your writings, and I think you're cool plus good and experienced at infosec, so I was hoping the project could benefit from (hopefully no more than) a few hours of your time! Pwetty pwease?

(But, since there's no compensation or anything, if you say no then I won't bug you, ofc.)

Oh, uh, btw, your website's contact page still lists your handle as @cendyne.dev despite linking to furry.engineer. Is that intentional?

@issotm web finger has redirection built in like that! In case I ever hop to another instance I can update my pointer as needed,

Thank you for reading my blog and otherwise good vibes (a poor pun in the current climate).

At this time I am not able to offer any such services. Finding a new job soon is my current priority.

@cendyne No probs, thanks for at least taking the time to reply.

And, hey, talking about vibes: are they affecting your branch of work? (I'm an embedded dev, so not too hit yet, but... Bleh.)

A Vibe Coded SaaS Killed My Team

We lost the capitalism game and they're trying to get a second wind through a broken vibe-coded SaaS platform.

@cendyne Oh, right, that... Yeah. Sorry.
