@Gamizavier i assume it just wouldnt let you change it to anything over 1000 characters so youd have to delete it to save it anyway
its genuinely hard to believe staff implemented these new features in production, without testing efficiency, bugs, edge cases, etc...
@NightmareWolfie crazy testing new features in prod
hello everyone!!!
apologies for slow development, i've been traveling and moving to new place, so havent had much time to dedicate on T4A, but thats changing now :D
first, Webputer (virtual web computer) is being renamed as i just don't like how webputer sounds Dx. i was thinking Web-box, but if anyone has any other ideas, please please please tell me! for the sake of consistency, it will continue to be referred to as webputer throughout these posts until a final name is decided.
second, webputer has been in heavy development and nearing public release. so far almost all of the backend is finished, the frontend is being finalized, and i need beta testers to ensure its compatible with the switch. since i've moved from home, i no longer have my switch and cannot debug or test on my own.
each tester will receive $20 in your preferred method, be aware that most gift/prepaid cards are U.S-centric:
if you are interested in volunteering as a beta tester, please reply or dm me, i will only choose a few testers. make sure you include what type of switch you have (Switch 1 and/or Switch 2).
if you are chosen, i will dm you. i still need a bit of time to finish development, but once i'm ready, i will give you instructions on how to access Webputer. then you tell me if the website works and is user-intuitive, i might ask some questions, etc.. finally ill pay you in whatever form you wish.
thank you for support everyone :3 lmk if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or comments.

@pawthetic ummmmmm. no x.x im not familiar with many forums, i just look into the underlying software
i wanted to write about some security issues which many forums suffer from and have yet to be fixed. this isnt a callout post or anything, i just find it interesting. any details on specific forums, vulnerabilities, or specific software will be redacted until its fixed.
quite frankly, forum security - like any other types of security - SUCKS HORRIBLYYY. there is a large forum vendor which is riddled with vulnerabilities, to give you context here are vague summaries of the vulnerabilities ive found in certain forum software:
keep in mind, i only spent like.. an hour or two, doing a basic audit of the web interface part - i didnt even disassemble and decompile the binaries for potentially more serious vulnerabilities. and ofc, i reported all vulnerabilites to the vendor (which they claim they reply and triage within 24 hours - but its taking weeks :sob:)
the point is. uhhhm. there is no point, just be careful online.
Discord Username: uh can i say in dms ? i dont want it public
Age: 16
Timezone: pst
How long have you been a BrowseDNS member?: exactly 392 days
What department are you interested in? Public Relations or Moderation?: moderation
side note: can we uh forget about my previous ban "-w- pretty please?
@Yanderemenhera as a general rule of thumb for EVERY service you ever use - if you dont manually encrypt your own messages, assume they can be read in plaintext. even if the service claims to encrypt your messages, it could be weak encryption, it could be a lie, someone could place a keylogger, etc.
that being said, all sensitive user data is held hashed/encrypted. message data is stored plaintext in the database and its encrypted during transit. PGP end to end encryption (for full privacy) is available as an option (Mailvelope) in settings, however the nintendo switch doesnt support this and developing a new tool for end to end encryption, with the switch's limitations in mind, would be far too restrictive.
as a nontechnical response; messages can be read if i really wanted to do so. i will not, unless i receive a legally valid court order. one of my core values as a person is the right to privacy.
hallo all!!
tools4all (https://t4a.tech) provides resources for users on limited devices such as email provider, and soon to be phone number texting & virtual computers.
just a few updates:
apologies for slow development, ive been super busy irl x.x i wont be giving up on t4a tho!!
@pawthetic ITS OKAY i have ideas for safeguarding and also ideas for covering my liability and stuff
HAI PAWTHETIC i got banned when i hacked aries but got unbanned after trading an exploit + supporting the community and so now im developing tools4all (https://t4a.tech) to support even more
@Snoopy its a reference to computers . their prices are in multiples of 64, like x64 architecture and 64 bit stuf..
@Snoopy LMAOAOOAFNFJ I DID . he urged me to ethically disclose the exploit so i reluctantly did (and got paid $128 for it!!!)
im afraid ive turned into the forum hacker 😠i hacked bdns staff member, hacked yanderes textem acct, i even found an exploit in bdns' underlying software (reported it tho)
regarding id verification, particularly for discord, there used to be a bypass to automatically verify your account without providing an id. discord's id verification platform had some vulnerabilities so really you just had to craft a special url, click it, boom id verified. i dont know if its been patched tho its been a few months since the exploit research was published (and to comply with rules - i am not encouraging or enabling bypassing rules or laws, just sharing what ive learned)
ive been working on a free texting site phonemail. however i came across an issue of sms carriers shutting down sms email gateways which severely limits my phone texting coverage .... im currently doing a plan B, which might be a little more costly and time consuming, but ive been working on it ! ^^
@SweetLikeTarmac ofc, im glad its helpful!! tysm for the support<333 it truly means a lot and encourages me to keep it running and develop more tools
