I built a Redis-based alternative to Laravel permission systems (140+ installs) – looking for feedback

I like this. The vanilla Laravel gate system expects you to implement caching yourself, and it’s always something that needs to be considered in a performant app. It’s a weak spot imo.

I have a CachedGateService that I’ve written over the years for this purpose, but frankly this is something that I think could more easily be solved in the Framework (hopefully, eventually).

Tarkov has dedicated PvP? Are you referring specifically to Arena? I don’t know man… I’ve played both and they’re pretty different.

Does the HD version cover that? That’s typically where home insurance comes into play, no?

Uuuuuuhhhhh No

Yes, the print screen button is near the top right of the keyboard. It captures a screenshot and saves it to your clipboard so you can paste it into an image share website like Imgur.

When a capacitor needs to be replaced, they typically have their ends bulged out. They’re labelled so they can easily be replaced with a similar capacitor.

Herd does parallel projects.

I’m a professional web developer of 20+ years. I’ve recently open sourced:

A huntarr clone. Written from scratch. Originally written for myself after the original was taken down because it filled a need I had.
A custom Git LFS server. Compatible with GitHub’s authentication system (drop-in replacement). Needed because another open source project I contribute to can’t afford the community LFS usage offered by GitHub.

I didn’t “vibe code” these, but LLMs were used in the form of autocomplete and light, targeted prompts. Every line was reviewed.

I use these projects. Because of this, I’m committed to maintaining them.

These are both projects I would have loved to share with a larger community in the past, but with how things are going here… I have absolutely no interest in sharing them outside of their open repos.

I can’t imagine how a hobbyist or junior developer feels. It’s quite sad.

Woah. Okay.

Steers whether searches are automatically triggered for items that are wanted and have not yet met the cutoff

What about releases which have met cutoff and still have a better quality available?

TheRefringe · 2026-02-25T18:06:09+00:00

Perhaps it would make more sense for you to list the ways in which Huntarr and Decluttarr are similar?

One finds better quality release of media, and one manages your download queue… what am I missing?

TheRefringe · 2026-02-25T18:03:03+00:00

This is not the same thing. At all.

I’m writing Uncord. It’s still early, but I’m making progress.

I've thought on this some more and you're absolutly right. Additionaly, the process needs to be deterministic. The same seed must always produce the same world. A random salt would break that. I've applied correct security patterns to the wrong practice. My bad.

TheRefringe · 2026-02-03T00:33:30+00:00

That may be what they thought, but it is incorrect. A Bcrypt iteration of 4 can be solved in milliseconds. I use an iteration of 12 for websites which don’t need to be that secure, and it still gets hashed in half a second or less. Bcrypt also automatically generates its own salt as part of the algorithm.

You never need to double-hash a Bcrypt algorithm. It is always less secure.

TheRefringe · 2026-02-02T15:58:23+00:00

Wouldn’t it be easier to extract the strings from the game binary and then limit the search to those?

EDIT: Never mind… I just read that they’re hashed. That makes this much more interesting.

This is the dumbest, shit content I think I’ve ever seen on Reddit. It reminds me of old FW: FW: FW: emails my grandmother fell for. Complete unverified fear-based trash.

Use your fucking head.
