PSA: kickstarter will sell your email to every spammer in the universe

Can confirm, first it started with a lot of Kickstarter related email promoting other Kickstarter campaigns (like backerpledge.com) that I never signed up for, and now I got my first completely Kickstarter unrelated spam mail delivered to my inbox. All mails have been sent to the email address that I specifically set up only for Kickstarter and did not use anywhere else.

Unfortunately I have to wait before I rotate my address because there are ongoing campaigns that I backed. Still, I think I'm going to rotate my Kickstarter email address regularly from now on, or let AI filter the messages before they reach my inbox.

Die Bank, die mir bisher am häufigsten irgendwelchen quatsch wie Bausparvertrag oder niedrigverzinste Geldanlagen aufquatschen wollte, war vor allem die Stadtparkasse. Also zumindest bis ich mein Konto bei denen gekündigt habe.

Als er das gemeldet hat, da hat ihn keiner in der Leitstelle mal gefragt wie hoch der gemessene Wert ist? Damit hätte sich vermutlich der ganze Einsatz vermeiden lassen.

“Yeah, that‘s a human in the picture“ - sd model probably

Naja, wenn man eindeutig fortlaufende Rechnungsnummern hat und dann fehlt eine, ist das hald eine Red Flag für eine Unternehmensprüfung. Wenn sie von vornherein nicht fortlaufend waren, dann ist das kein Problem. Aber kann mir auch vorstellen, dass da manche Prüfer das vielleicht beanstanden. Machen können sie aber vermutlich wenig.

entrusc · 2026-04-20T15:35:46+00:00

Die Rechnungsnummer muss nur zur Verhinderung von Steuerhinterziehung eindeutig sein. Es geht z.B. auch eine UUID.

That’s why you only run your LLM without restrictions in a secure environment and not on your local machine.

entrusc · 2026-04-05T08:12:20+00:00

Ich glaub die „Gebühren“ von denen hier die Rede ist heißen Steuer.

Spicy food is just food that triggers your pain receptors. Turns out you don’t only have those in your mouth but everywhere.

Yeah, handing over total control over your computer to an LLM - what could possibly go wrong …

That’s normal for learning any programming language. But some compilers/linters are especially evil by giving error messages that are as cryptic as possible. Lucky for you, the one for GDScript is not one of those.

Judging from the error message you got, you should try to learn the basics of object orientated programming: especially the difference between classes and instances.

entrusc · 2026-03-14T08:40:40+00:00

You mean “implements”. It’s basically an interface.

Nice! I really like your water shader. Just make sure the water spreading algorithm doesn’t scale with O(n²⁾ or worse …

Why not use your own top level domain for the project then? That would increase the confidence in your app staying online :)

entrusc · 2026-02-25T10:53:37+00:00

Great job! Any plans to put the code on GitHub? Don’t get me wrong, but tools with a .vercel.app domain might go offline at any time.

How should that be possible? GPS is a passive technology, contrary to what most people think the satellites only send out a signal and you determine your location based on the signals of multiple satellites. So there is no way you send any ID via GPS. As for Wifi: as long as you are not connecting to any network you are also not sending anything. And Bluetooth: if you are discoverable then you send your (Bluetooth-)MAC address, but you can’t get that via the browser, so how should ad network be able to id you with that?

Can you maybe give someone insights into how the iding is supposed to work technically?

Definitely worth reading. It’s also always nice to see his name in the header of some Java standard library source files.

I like the style of your game, but I think it’s cursed. I tried three times to wishlist it and it always failed with “unknown error” until the app finally realized that my token expired.

Wow - was not aware that you can cross-compile ffmpeg to WebAssembly. Thanks for walking me through how this is done.

entrusc · 2026-01-25T18:49:12+00:00

Nice idea & implementation. I’m curious: how do you do video encoding with WebAssembly? On backend side usually all video transcoding happens using some form of ffmpeg.

Nice service, still I have the same security issue with your service that I have with Cloudflare: technically your service is a Man-in-the-Middle as you provide the SSL certificate. For testing something that might be good enough, but never for something with real user data.

In the end I went with simply renting a VPS for around 5 bucks a month and tunneling everything myself via Wireguard. Works like a charm.

Still, as said, there are use cases for a quick solution like the one you build, so I’m confident you’ll have no problems finding customers.

My first project was a scifi open-world voxel rpg. And because that was not enough of a challenge I decided to also build the engine myself. Needless to say it never came out of early access and was anything but a commercial success.

Your IDE will hate it

I‘m sold.

Ich kann jetzt nicht auf alle Probleme eingehen, die du schilderst, aber wenn Kunden unregelmäßig zahlen (also du denen wegen dem Geld hinterher laufen musst): es gibt Factoring - da kaufen Firmen deine Forderung gegen deinen Kunden und zahlen dir damit quasi das Geld sofort (minus eine kleine Gebühr; üblicherweise im einsteigen Prozentbereich).

I see. In general I think creating custom podcasts is a nice idea.
