Purr: a simple Scratch URL shortener

I'm actually going to delete the database because someone is abusing the system. I've also added some precautions to prevent spam. Sorry for the inconvenience, I won't do this again!

Another bug!

Someone can make a domain like this —
https://scratch.mit.edu.random.domain
and it'll pass the scratch URL test.

Too many bad words that I didn't want to read and I was tired of deleting them.

Basically that's using an obscure url component, login info. (like username:password@website.website)
You can trick this shortener with that by just having scratch.mit.edu as the username.
As a side note, you can do this without specifying a password at all, kinda like an email address.

Also dev pls fix.

you don't need to hash a password if only you're using it and its stored in an environment variable. sha256 is nonetheless an insecure algorithm that shouldn't be used. i always bcrypt and salt passwords that actually need to be hashed
