I am the luckiest dad alive. Not only does my 16yo want me to hang out and chat at his birthday party, he is EXCITED to have me dress up in my Steve Buscemi on 30-rock "How do you do, fellow kids?" costume, and greet his friends. Now they're watching Mr. Bean. #winning

@linnefaulk yikes! I’m almost 36 hours in now, and had a long run today. No symptoms yet! Must have been placebos :)

@drdrang As it happens, my wife’s name is Chrissa, an unusual name that was nonetheless used by AG. “Chrissa Stands Strong!” AG too, I guess.

@oskosk Love it! So you seem pretty confident this will be addressed in an upcoming update? That's all I need to know.

@danielpunkass@mastodon.social
@oskosk I appreciate it.

@oskosk @jetpack.com If anybody wants to reach out directly you can email me at jalkut at redsweater.com - thanks!
Daniel Jalkut
@danielpunkass@mastodon.social
@oskosk @jetpack.com I should clarify that the issue goes away completely if the client IP is added to the whitelist in Jetpack Protect. That's why we suspect something going on in Jetpack.
Daniel Jalkut
@danielpunkass@mastodon.social
@oskosk @jetpack.com To be more precise a post with this content:
A'
B
Causes a mod_security seeming failure, but the same post without either the ' apostrophe or the newline goes through cleanly.
Daniel Jalkut
@danielpunkass@mastodon.social
@professor_j @idallas Thank you Jesse! In touch with Osk now and hope we can get to the bottom of this.
Daniel Jalkut
@danielpunkass@mastodon.social
@oskosk @jetpack.com Thanks so much - feel free to reach out to me privately for more info or if it's not reproducible, but in my tests against my customer site the combination of an apostrophe and a newline in an XMLRPC post causes a failure that looks like it might be coming from mod_security. Is there a scenario where Jetpack might forward to a GET and then get caught by mod_security? Thanks!

@danielpunkass@mastodon.social
@idallas Thank you!

@drdrang A special place for my wife, who grew up in Chicago. She used to go there as a kid and "rescue" coins from the fountains. Sorry to hear it's a ghost town.

Do I have any friends or acquaintances who are proximal to @jetpack.com Protect development? A MarsEdit customer has discovered that Jetpack Protect 3.0 denies XMLRPC requests with certain post content, and I have at least one simple test case to share.

Attention iOS and Mac developers! If you don't know about Regex Breakpoints, you're really missing out. I periodically remind people and have been trying to spread the word since 2019 or earlier. Here's a link to my short explanation of them: https://youtu.be/eSxXmnmjYZk?si=jMCBXONJTxK1amcj&t=965

Listening to the latest @atpfm, I had the thought that Apple might go a long way towards mitigating the damage of "spite 1-star ratings" by uninstalling apps that you rate 1-star. If you really think it's that bad, you shouldn't be entitled to keep running it. @marcoarment

The chuckleheads who thought they could malign Tim Walz by calling him "Tampon Tim" think that providing essential products to women, and others who menstruate, is not only irrelevant, but scorn-worthy. These dingalings are HELLA weird.
