you know what also allows you to never hardcode your data again... a database.

all the comments here are getting hung up on the encryption.

me, personally, i think you did a hell of a job with this. personally i'm not going to be sharing any launch codes with my spouse, so i could care less about how industry standard and unbreakable the encryption is, but for account based credentials like netflix and spotify, this is great.

also, the landing page is spot on showcasing what this app is and how easy it is to share with others. take a bow dude and i wish you some good fortune.

couldn't see that one coming /s

honestly... how was this even a thing? i never got the appeal or the concept to wanting to watch my own TV from a device. i mean... do people actually miss their local programming that much when they are away?

no... everything is moving to streaming now so there is a big push to make sure that there is a single portal to consume content.

google dorking or using shodan can find things like this extremely easily. personally i don't do this sort of crap cause i don't need any legal problems, but it's good to know so you can do it against your own sites to see if you're exposing anything by accident like these dudes did.

it looks like they have already taken the source code down, which sucks cause i would have LOVED to look at it. github has some of the smartest developers in the world working for them and i would love to pour over the code and see the thought process involved in creating the github backend.

i agree with you... now show them your support by sending them a blank check for their legal fees. oh... i'm sorry... did i offend HN, strike a nerve and become a troll?

no i did not. i am demonstrating that most people on this site haven't the slightest clue what they are talking about.

it costs money and time to fight something and companies have something called a risk management department that decides whether it is worth the risk to fight or comply.

github knows that getting into a heated legal battle is going to cost alot, especially going up against the deep pockets of the RIAA. not saying that github and microsoft don't have deep pockets, but that this _will_ become an expensive battle to fight and defending a grey area open source project isn't worth the time nor the money.

either cancel the card you used, call the bank and have them disallow the charge to the card or issue a charge back. don't ever feel that a company leaves you no choice in paying them.

"for four consecutive weeks"

that's the key to this whole things, is that you have to stick with it for at least 4 weeks. i know quite a few people who have tried IF and rarely do they make it through the first week without cheating (including myself when i first started). IF is one of _the_ best ways to lost weight in my opinion (second only to hot yoga), but the key is that you have to very regime with it and follow it precisely in order to get the benefits. you cannot have _any_ calories what so ever in order to trigger the fast response of the body. even taking vitamins or protein powders breaks the fast. also most non-calorie drinks do contain calories just not in a single serving (which is VERY deceptive), so the best things to drink is just plain cold water through out the day.

love how it claims that "it's freaking fast", yet has no performance metrics on the page. granted they might be hidden behind a link a or two, but i'm going hunting for something when you should have it right there on the page to back up your claims.

this is where rubymine really shines, you can right click and select "goto definition" which takes you right to the class that defines the method.

laravel is so similar to rails, it's scary. tbh... all mvc frameworks are similar. once you know one, it's extremely easy to pick up another one even if you don't know the language.

the point i was trying to make is that it for any reason, the case can be delayed in getting to court. i've personally seen cases take 10 years to finally get to court only to have the case dismissed.

i'll go even further... the other thing about it is that the owner has to have the money is order to bring the lawsuit to court. also, depending on how backed up the courts are, it could be years before the case brought into court by which time the owner could be out of business.

it really is horrible how screwed up our civil court system is.

this was inevitable giving the climate switch to streaming services. right now the riaa wants to protect the streaming services at all costs since physical media consumption is decreasing, especially with all the store fronts closing cause of the pandemic.

this is such a gimmick.

the earth can heal itself if we stop polluting it. removal isn't the answer we have to stop producing it.
