True. The main issue is that people love to create new web formats. For example, there was some 3D model formats we didn't support initially. It's pretty hard to keep up.
On the other hand, a whitelist might work as a way to "trick" people into starting to contribute, by way of filing issues and submitting trivial pull requests?
Thanks for all your hard work on the site by the way! I've actually taken the opportunity to use it at my new job, as one option for students to publish/show work in our basic web/html course at Voss FHS[1].
Did you manage to keep publishing the transparent financial reports? As I've mentioned before, I personally find the openess of the whole operation to one of the most interesting bits of the site :-)
Like .cur files! According to a quick google search, there was/is a buffer overflow vulnerability in XP. Makes me wonder how many SP1 XP installs hit Neocities.
Agreed. Kyle, are you also validating that the content of the uploaded file correlates with the extension? Geocities began having real issues with bot generated accounts, each of which would get one shard of a binary warez uploaded as .jpg, etc. Of course, we didn't have captcha, so your exposure might be limited. Awesome to see this -- wish you worlds of luck.
