A lot of John Carmack's code is open source. Also, what he used to do at id was not particularly groundbreaking; and the "open sourced" (by talking about novel algorithms for 3D rendering) the groundbreaking stuff at his popu

Did you read the comment you just replied to? Do you understand how a hash function works? In particular, the avalanche effect[1] prevents MD5 (or any other cryptographic hash) from being useful in this scenario, since fingerprints are matc

Couldn't you spoof a computer fingerprint? The hard part would be figuring out which computers are trusted, of course. Perhaps there is a timing attack that can be performed to find out.

To be honest, he is right. Not only what he said is correct, but cryptography is one of those strange fields where saying "I know more than you about this and I am right" is an acceptable thing to do.

Yes, I am serious. Maybe I don't get the "first iteration" idea, but it should not look like shit. Maybe that's just me, but if I'm making a website to attract users I'd rather make it, you know, attractive. &g

That's strange - I took another look at the JavaScript and it is indeed 131KB when uncompressed. I could have sworn it was 265KB last night. Anyway, including Bootstrap to use two containers with different background colours is a lack

I'm not only criticising their price. I'm writing off this whole thing as a 'joke', because honestly, that is what it looks like. Have you looked at the source code? You should take a look at this[1]. If you say "we

Haha, you're charging 99$ a month for a template. That was a good joke.

You don't swear in source code in an attempt to be funny. You do it when you're frustrated.

The point is not that it looks the same (although it does). The point is that videos load much, much faster than gifs. I've seen gifs converted to videos, with the video loading 30 times faster than the gif.

It'd be nice if that would change, though. Some forum software allows you to embed video from YouTube and friends, so it wouldn't be too much of a leap to embed short video clips using the mechanism described in the MediaCrush doc

I tend to agree with you, but apparently people _really_ like GIFs, irrationally. I built a service[1] that converts GIF files to HTML5 video (h264 MP4 + OGV) and people reacted very violently, arguing that "it's not a GIF".

There is not enough energy available in our universe to crack a container encrypted with AES256.

We don't have a business model right now. At this stage we're just trying to build a service with the best possible experience for the users. Monetization will come later, we can afford to pay server and bandwidth bills for now. O

Okay, I understand that using Google Analytics when we're so pro-privacy is a bit of a weird choice. We've realised that self-hosting our analytics might be a better choice. I've created an issue[1] to discuss this matter. Id

Nope, kind of goes against the idea - there's no way for you to "discover" uploads to mediacrush. We don't even allow crawlers to index media pages.

Heh, it's certainly not random choice. Sir_Cmpwn is a massive anime geek. Personally, I'd have used a cat gif.

I've created an issue [1] to discuss this in GitHub - feel free to explain your ideas there and we'll figure out what would work best. [1] https://github.com/MediaCrush/MediaCrush/issues/116

Oh, didn't know about that. Well, that's the good thing about being open source - you have some knowledge we didn't have, so submit a pull request fixing it, I'll merge it, and we'll all be a little bit happier. Tha

Thank you so much! It feels awesome to know you've managed to run it smoothly. Really makes all the effort we've put into it worth it! PS: Merged your pull request, thanks!

Thanks! Well, GA is quite convenient - we get pretty graphs, realtime analytics and so on. It's not something we have considered moving away from, since it's trivial to disable it entirely. And it's not significantly worse th

Update: looks like it _will_ take a lot of time to bruteforce a single IP: >>> timeit.timeit('bcrypt.generate_password_hash("127.0.0.1")', "from app import bcrypt", number=10) 3.342690944671631

25MB. That's not actually stated on the website (good catch) but you can see it here, on the nginx config: https://github.com/MediaCrush/MediaCrush/blob/master/config/...
