Does TBS still use RapidBlocker to populate the db? I feel like RB needs a security audit.

@Seirdy Who told you it used RapidBlocker?

@thebadspace I noticed it advertising the same User-Agent as RB in my access logs; it started showing up after I became a source, and stopped showing up after I withdrew. So I just assumed the frontend read entries from the RB database.

@Seirdy As the project has never used Rapid Blocker and you don't know how often the updater runs nor when I removed you as a source, I'd say that’s a pretty poor assumption.

Stop listening to your bigot friends.

I made the assumption that this project reads from a database populated by another piece of software. I did this after not seeing anything that populates the database with blocklists in the codebase, and I presented the assumption as merely that; nobody else has access to my server logs (I hope). I’d hacked on the RB codebase before so it stood out to me. I’m sorry if I implied this information came from someone else.

@Seirdy Your assumption implies you are listening to someone else about the project because you could have just asked or looked at the codebase yourself.

But you didn't, just like the hateful people who harass me do.

You need to reflect on that.

if there’s a better venue to ask such a question than Fedi I’m willing to do so.
