       i somehow managed to be hired during the worst economic collapse in history, after interviewing for months with no offers (self.text)

  imagine that. pay is lower than last few jobs but it's 100% remote and is something i'm more than qualified for.

       Thoughts about opening ieddit up to accountless posts/comments? (self.text)

  For this to possibly work, non-account linked activities would obviously have to be highly restricted with subs being able to choose which restrictions apply to them'
  
  I'd like some feedback as to this possibility. The abuse/spam prevention measures will have to be rather draconian, but making an account will always be simply and easy so a few false-positives wouldn't be too big of a concern

       My next project (self.text)

  Tonight I'm starting work on a very llightweight captcha library which does not require server side sessions or javascript. I'll be doing things properly from the very start, and will publish it as a pip package.
  
  Once this is compete, my next project is anolag.com. I'm going to write a very lightweight flask-based blogging software (once again doing things correctly from step 1 this time), which will be what is used for this blog.
  
  I mainly plan on writing in-depth on topics relating to prohibition. The chemistry, black market economics, history, neuroscience, etcetcetc. I'm tired of independently typing/verbalizing the same detailed arguments over and over. This site will allow me to publish ideas/arguments which I can link/copy paste whenever I am discussing adjacent topics, and hopefully will make a positive impact on the current state of affairs by serving as a resource others can use as a foundation.
  
  I'll also be able to monetize it as well with adsense, which hopefully will bring in some income.

       Past, Present, Future (self.text)

  Let me begin by saying I've sunk over 3 months of my life into this project, with the hope of bringing about a non-commercial, transparent, optionally anonymous alternative to reddit.
  
  I feel like the project is finally close enough to feature complete to take a step back from development. Of course there is still a never-ending list of things to do, or be improved, but I simply cannot justify spending any additional time past what I have already invested (a quarter of a year) at my current position in life on a project which may or may not be used, while forgoing all income aside from inconsistent bug bounty payouts and (lol) runescape botting. Even if this project never sees use, I'll never view the time invested as lost. It certainly re-sharpened my dev skills after over a year of atrophy, and has directly resulted in many invaluable interactions/experiences I would not have had otherwise.
  
  Thank you to EVERYBODY who has contributed in some way to this project.
  
  It's honestly quite impactful emotionally to step back from daily development on a project which has been your primary concern and focus for the past quarter year year of your life, and to admit it hasn't (yet?) sustained the consistent level of use it set out to achieve. The question of 'what do I do now' is daunting, but it HAS to be something which brings in, preferably consistent, income. Realistically, my options are 1. Focus on bug bountys full time, 2. Start (seriously) looking for and applying to fulltime dev/security positions, or 3. Focus on independent, commercial ( but still open-source) work
  
  I obviously will still use the site daily, actively post any life events, traveling, bug bounty writeups, new projects, etc, and comment/moderate. I'll probably will even still commit code fairly often, I just cannot justify the full-time hours I have put into it daily for the past several months.
  
  I'll continue to link this site anywhere that it is relevant, and ask that (you) kindly do the same. If there comes a time in which the internet decides a site like this is needed, it will be here. If the site once again achieves a significant level of use, I'll re-prioritize development accordingly.
  
  I've also decided to hold off on the name change until the community overwhelmingly deems it as something which should happen.
  
  Thank you again to EVERYBODY who has contributed in any way to this project. Whether that be code, moderation, or posts/comments/votes. I love you all, even https://ieddit.com/u/adolf-hitler/ who was the only person I had to ban for the first 2 months of this project. You all have been great <3

       Multi-Language support is now fully added. (self.text)

  I pushed really hard to get this done before having to fly back to (EDIT: LOL they scheduled me for the entirely wrong city, idk what's going to happen now) for a security position interview.
  
  The following site features/changes have been added as part of multi-language support commit:
  
  1. subs can now set a default language. when on a sub that has a language set, users will see the site in that language
  
  2. there are two new user options. users can now set a site-wide language, and also set an option which will force the entire site to their selected language, even if subs are using a different language
  
  I also added the code to do mostly-accurate geo-ip language select, but before implementing it I decided a sub-specific approach would be better for everybody involved.
  
  Once I get back from my interview, I'm going to shill the site in a few places announcing this update. Adding additional language support is as easy as adding the language here: https://github.com/civicsoft/ieddit/blob/master/app/utilities/languages.py
  
  The site is finally reaching a very good spot feature and design wise, at current pace it will be feature complete (but sorely lacking in tests, needing code refactoring, etc) by the end of this year.
  
  After the site is complete it will be in the hands of the internet to make use of it. This at least massively broadens the potential appeal... even though it might lead to me running a site with content exclusively in a language I do not understand lol.
  
  ps. you can hide announcements like any other posts. if you get tired of seeing the same announcement, hiding is a great option.

  I think the best way to go about doing this is to offer an option to sub mods to open their sub to anonymous users (off by default), with the stipulation the mods HAVE to be 100% on-top of things. If the mods are unable to handle the non-account traffick, and it starts disrupting the site, I or another admin coudl always tep in to require accounts once more.

  That is what killed the site yes, and it wasn't abandoned. It was an extremely difficult bug to identify in somebody else's code, as it wasn't replicateable and would only occur randomly after several hours/days of normal site operation., While at the same time, for the entire week, I was having to travel and literally didn't have the ability to work on the site.
  
  I put literally hundreds of hours of my time into this without any pay whatsoever, trust me I wasn't happy about it either.

  Silver, you are by far one of my favorite people I have met on the internet.
  
  Thank you for volunteering to be an admin, and hanging around.

  The site will still be here unless you take it offline for some reason and since we don't have a ton of people I doubt the site will break either.

  
  I can assure you the site won't EVER go offline, barring something catastrophic happening to me.
  
  

  For now you can just think of this place as a semi-blog I guess :^)

  I'm actually starting to work on a project which I intend to be a very lightweight flask-based blog. This time around I'll do everything correctly from the start as well. I'll use the domain I bought, anolag.com, and there will be some... interesting writing on there for sure. I'll also be able to monetize this project with adsense.

  I'll post the website to hackernews again once I feel like the time is right. It's certainly come a LONG way since it's first iteration :)
