> I’m sorry you don’t feel this hobby site run by one person doesn’t have a sufficiently transparent process


I just disabled webgl on my firefox and it worked fine.

Your problems could be caused by a whiny fan. Here is the source https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs


I like the way multiple people feel the need to defend a buggy website with their anecdotal n=1 evidence.

It’s not difficult to make a website that works for everyone.


Oh is it the website that's failing? I kind of assumed it was the web UI for the software. Workarounds sort of kind of make sense there.. Maybe.. But the website. That's bad.

They should have used base64 encryption.

How about ROT13? Ideally applied twice for twice the encryption.

ROT13 is cheap enough that you can afford to apply it many more times. I use one million iterations to store passwords securely.

640k oughtta be enough for anybody.

Md5 encryption would be far superior.

There are performance concerns with base64. Hardware-assisted null-key encryption offers security that's a non-strict superset of base64 encryption and with superior performance.

null-key encryption is write-once, read-never, so you don't have to cache it.

Replace the C levels with AI. The C suite is am impediment to innovation and progress. They are the office politics mentioned in this entire thread. The person with the vision and the strategy is a random person out there that doesn't even work for your company. Hell, you could have done it.

They only accidentally succeed in spite of those things. They have those things more than existing businesses precisely because having too much money masks the pressures that would force solid execution and results. When you have 80% profit margins, you can show up drunk.


Don't make China the boogey man here, when it was America's rich that exported all those things (jobs, manufacturing, solid supply chains) to China.

You don't already do this with the NTP servers under your control?

If I had any NTP servers under my control, I probably would :)

Cheap electronics are just the feed stock, the basis function for your new creation. Why start with raw matter when you can get fully formed matter for less.

New doesn't have to mean "the hardest thing yet", but as humans mastering our subdomain, they are often the same.
