I vote for GenAI


Is GenAI after gen alpha? I think it depends on whether agents become a thing. Assuming agents become a thing before the end of this decade, we could see a divide between people born before we had ai agents and after.


Hi bluerail,

Thanks for taking time to reply! You are correct about it being hard to follow, I have had that come up a few times now. I hadn't thought about a video but I will investigate that option!

Your 2nd and 3rd points also make a lot of sense and I will work to include them.

Thanks :)


Thanks factorialboy! I really appreciate the vote of confidence.


Hi Deftnerd,

Thanks for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Bitcoin would certainly make things easier from a currency perspective and I imagine there are other benefits too. I will investigate it as an option.

The advertisements are just plain HTML and can be worked into your site anywhere you please. Perhaps it isn't super clear but the site owners are the ones who define the advertisements, not the advertisers. This means that the site owners fully control how the ads look and what information is collected.

Google linkspam isn't something I'd thought about, thank you for bringing it up. I'm not entirely familiar with how Google treats such things but I will look into it. If anyone has anything to suggest that would be fantastic.


It should be enough to place those links as "nofollow"


Thanks trienthusiast, I will look into it further :)


Neat! Yours looks very nice.

I never realised there were so many implementations of this floating around. It might be a neat idea to inline/reduce the libraries I used to more easily distribute for offline. Although I have to say that I don't feel this is any less safe because it can't run locally :)

Thanks for your input :)


Looks identical to NullPass, I'll check it out.

Thanks for your input :)


Oh cool, I did some quick googling but hadn't come across supergenpass. I will have a better look at their implementation.

Thanks!


No, not really. I do like having the length concatenated inside as well, as this provides a unique password for different lengths (useful to quickly visually identify if a password looks 'right').

Is there any reason why HMAC would be better than my current implementation? I have had a read over the article and it seems that straight SHA512 should have similar cryptographic strength.

Thanks for your input!


Read the "Design Principles" section more carefully. Simple concatenation suffers from several different attack vectors.


Thank you.

I am concerned about changing the algorithm at this point in case anyone has already used it. I don't think there are any serious concerns but will report back if I find any (after taking some more time). Of course if anyone knows this stuff very well I'd be very eager for some feedback!

Exactly why you should be considering changing the algorithm.

Hi all, this is the first side project I've had that I've been happy enough to share with the world at large. I hope someone finds it useful and would be very eager for some feedback :) (Especially negative!)


So, is this just Google Hangouts for Facebook?
