08/28 - Fluffy Friday

Honestly I was resolved to just give in to cloudflare lol, will look at this though for the fun of breaking something again. Its been so, I need to feel alive.

 

Oh you want to spice it up even more? Here's a suggestion:

Delete the MTS signup endpoint since MTS is no longer available anyways and those who still use it somehow already have an account here. And dozens of new fake accounts are being created through that endpoint every day. And here's the spicy part - to clean up the database, you can nuke all those fake accounts (which account for the overwhelming majority of all users now lol). Basically run a query that selects and deletes all accounts that match all three of these:

• Have no profile pic (i.e. have the default robot pic)
• Have 0 posts
• Have never actually logged in after creating their account

Honestly, just the 3rd point is enough, 1 and 2 are there just to be extra careful.

 

Now we just sit back and watch him accidentally nuke literally everyone.

 

Waiting to see if str11223344 will ever email me back about what they're going to be doing...plz don't leave me hanging bro I've only done like 500,000 hits for you over the past 12 years

 

I emailed them too, if I hear back I'll let you know.

 

How will I sell this place to an unsuspecting russian oligarch if I can't flaunt the massively overinflated userbase?

 

Revised suggestion: add yet another open endpoint that lets bots create fake accounts.

 

Plus you & I both know the second I take down that endpoint someone running Edge v0.1 alpha is gonna be on this forum complaining I broke his workflow and rugged him before MTurk actually shut down

 

surprised none of the ice age scrat skits have riffed off this lol

 

I'm super excited about the Coyote vs. Acme movie. Sadly I have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday when my roommate is off work... At least it's way cheaper on Tuesday. I can't believe how much we spent to see Spiderman a few weeks ago.

 

This has been the only place I could go where I knew there were other people to check in with who are doing the same weird job as me.
