IIRC, I have made various suggestions in Meta for improving account security. IIRC, so has OgNasty. So have others...
The response is always either silence, or “new forum software” vapourware which has only been in development for, what, about seven or eight years?
[ANN] Nulltalk, the new new forum softwareEverything on this forum makes me rage nowadays
Me, too. Let’s do something constructive about it.
I propose that I myself should indeed write the new new forum software. As aforesaid,
I will write it in C, then rewrite it in Rust; if I need to take more time, then along the way, I
may also rewrite the code in Java, C#, Go, Javascript, Python, C++ with Boost, C++ without Boost, COBOL, MUMPS, Solidity, Visual BASIC, LISP, FORTRAN, and/or
Brainfuck. I don’t know many of these languages; thus, the schedule slippage will be
spectacular as I spend time learning. My proposed schedule is to deliver a feature-incomplete pre-alpha demo by the 2028 Halving, a beta before
BIP 42 becomes economically relevant, and the official 1.0 release before the heat death of the universe—
maybe. I’m so slick!
The project is called
Nulltalk, because its distinguishing innovation shall be that it autobans all users, and stores all posts in the
/dev/null NoSQL database. Thus, there shall be
no talk.
Silence! Hey—if
John Cage could sell records this way, why can’t I build a forum that forbids all discussion? Also, I shall integrate the zero-dimensional graph-theoretic
/dev/null NoSQL cloud database with Blockchain, because Blockchain has maximal synergies with buzzwords in Enterprise NoSQL Cloud Blockchain.
Purr-fect security. 😼
