It is praised for its anonymity, and it uses an algorithm that purposefully works worse on GPUs and probably ASICS, but don't quote me on that.

A lot of malware bundles miners for it because of it.

It was not meant to be as harsh as it came across.  And yes, this function is for logged out users, was just trying to show that it ends up messy.

I assume you’re one of the devs? I can delete the comment if you want, but I think it would be worth fixing sooner than later instead of just adding features. A lot of the mechanisms are a bad idea even if it wasn't a mess but you do you.

that it shouldn't matter what client someone uses

There are a few implementation issues and incompatibilities I saw but not too confident in my knowledge of the protocols to say good fixes. Not sure what the Judas comment means.

I was curious so had a look around.

I assume it's this https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/cfc35b0e1b812d929d62aea87f47014f8ce845b4/app/main/routes.py#L131

if current_user.is_anonymous:
        flash(_('Create an account to tailor this feed to your interests.'))
        content_filters = {'-1': {'trump', 'elon', 'musk'}}

Some of the complaints about hardcoded values were fixed in the last commits, but the code is a spaghetti mess littered with ad-hoc hacks for random whims of the developers. This is bad software design and disrespectful to users imo, but to each their own.

Do you mean this? https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v733-fix-cia-hacking-npp-issue/

The actual exploit was available as part of some leaks but the source is a super common issue on windows.

It's surprising that this isn't a common headline. Too many windows programs have worse issues than this, updating over unencrypted HTTP and with no integrity checks at all

Not an archive but I like https://theoldnet.com/ for the nostalgia too.

At least half of them are LLM related and seemingly redundant. I was happier never hearing about this person

The Visual Basic looking pseudo code is very scary indeed.
