WARN[0059] attempt to fetch blacklisted feed @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>


I managed to reproduce it! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ This was missed because normally when I do development, I run in debug-mode with the -D flag, and there's a different code-path that takes place for "validating" the pod's configuration. But this is inter-mixed with "configuration initialization" as well, like for examples, loading up the whitelist of image domains or the new blacklist of feeds and turning them into regexes. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I'm surprised I haven't been burned by this bug before 🀣 So sorry! I will fix properly and attempt to make this code-path a bit more clear. πŸ‘Œ

Also me on #go-nuts on LiberaChat:


[20:31:11]  <prologic> Q: Why does the empty regexp match any string? (https://play.golang.org/) this is rather weird to me and makes no sense.
[20:31:18]  <prologic> Am I misunderstanding regexp here or is this a bug?
[20:31:20]  <prologic> Go 1.17.1 here

@prologic You're just tired mate πŸ˜…

I still consider myself a noob when it comes to regexp, but I too thought an empty string causing a match seemed a bit... off. I mean I thought when it comes to typical regexp, you have to be pretty explicit to just match anything.

@prologic @eldersnake Any string contains an empty string, so that's not surprising to me at all. :-)

@prologic I reckon the automaton will have a single state which is also a final state and all input transitions into the same state again. Like that: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/dfa.png It's just a return true.
