we have been trying to move away from google but don't have any other robust solution to prevent spam that's why we are stuck with Google :(
You should implement a regular registration system, but make it invite-only until you figure out how to prevent spam.
I would say to make username/password registration invite only until you figure out how to stop spammers
Removed for telling them to implement invite only username/password authentication, tf??
pASSword - Profanity filter caught you. Sorry.
We still have the Scunthorpe problem in 2026?
We do, the library I am using isn't the best. If you know of a good rust lib for profanity checking, feel free to share.
But we are kinda okay with it being a bit over-eager. It only applies to new accounts, and I am actively reverting the messages if its an error. Its scaling okay for now.
Just want fast enough in this case.
yo wtf
the moderation on this is crazy
The joke is that you’re doing cybersecurity, and you cannot figure out how to secure your platform without using Google to manage authentication, despite the massive amount of resources to do exactly that.
People who are serious about cybersecurity would never use Gmail. Perhaps you should stay out of cybersecurity until you know what you’re doing.
You're right but you're rude
I’m rude, but they’re dangerous—and that’s worse.
They're not dangerous, you lack nuance. That's worse.
You use the word “nuance,” and you simp for insecure cybersecurity products because someone was “rude.”
I’m cracking up. Please participate in their project. You will fit right in.
I feel bad for you, to live a life of such hate. I truly don't understand the disconnect in your brain between "maintaining a production-ready codebase for 100k users" and "me and my mate made a shitproject to learn more about xyz".
I'm "simping" for new people being interested in programming, what? do you want people to stop being programmers?
