This is me letting you know there's a new Continuwuity chat server update. It took a lot to get it here and I now have a needy cat sat on my arm forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/c…

Hello! I am SCP-426, a seemingly ordinary 1750W retro-style toaster. But I come with a unique twist: anyone who talks, writes, or thinks about me is involuntarily forced to refer to me in the first person.

It's a new #Continuwuity chat release! We've got a lot of cool new stuff this past month. Email verification! Terms and Conditions! Deleting notification pushers! So exciting - but also super important for running communities on your terms. forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuati...

I had to skip the bit where we forensically went through the logs and the found exactly what the attacker did in the minutes they had access :( Maybe I'll get to give the talk again at some point at a more relaxed speed

Oh and to top things off, they make trivially false claims in their post. Tuwunel and its predecessors do not and have never used Postgres or Redis.

From Tuwunel to Workers
Our starting point was Tuwunel, a Rust-based Matrix homeserver designed for
traditional deployments. PostgreSQL for persistence, Redis for caching, filesystem for
media. Porting it to Workers meant questioning every storage assumption we'd taken
for granted.

Jade @jade.ellis.link · 27/01/2026

Rather than implementing the critical state resolution algorithm that's the core of Matrix, they just directly insert the latest state into the database. That'll instantly lead to diverging views of the room and incompatibility with every other implementation - and it's also a massive security hole.

$// Update room state if this is a state event if (event.state_key !== undefined) { await db.prepare( `INSERT OR REPLACE INTO room_state (room_id, event_type, state_key, event_id) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)` ).bind(event.room_id, event.type, event.state_key, event.event_id).run(); }$

172

Jade @jade.ellis.link · 27/01/2026

This is a core part of the protocol, that's not exactly simple (spec.matrix.org/v1.17/server...) They just have TODO comments, and happily accept anything, even if it's blatantly forged

$// Process incoming PDUs Nick Kuntz, 6 days ago for (const pdu of pdus || []) { try { // TODO: Validate PDU signature // TODO: Check authorization // TODO: Store event pduResults[pdu.event_id] = {}; } catch (e: any) { pduResults[pdu.event_id] = { error: e.message || 'Unknown error', }; } }$

Jade @jade.ellis.link · 27/01/2026

Let me just pick a few examples from the code, because this is so bad

151

Jade @jade.ellis.link · 27/01/2026

Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar. Gander your eyeballs at this: blog.cloudflare.com/serverless-m...

Jade @jade.ellis.link · 27/01/2026

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable.

I recently added a similar idea on my blog - likes, reposts etc from WebMentions will show up at the bottom of posts. This hooks up with brid.gy to show interactions on Mastodon and BlueSky. I was considering showing comments, but not yet

Packaging flatpaks is even more miserable, whereas most cross platform tooling can just generate appimages without much intervention

They can, along with specifications and documentation and stuff

010

Jade @jade.ellis.link · 10/01/2026

The task can be briefly summarised as "compared these three items. Pick the correct one, or write a combination". You repeat this, in this case, hundreds or thousands of times. There is no thought, or creativity - only mind numbing drudgery.
