What do you mean by unaccepted and impossible to fight? Why do you want to fight them? No one ever used the big SQRL version as far as I know.

That guide is outdated, but these two things are enabled already.

It makes no difference. Here's the traffic for the last 24 hours:



Either Cloudflare bot detection is pitiful and only catches 1% of the bots or njump.me is one of the most popular websites of the internet (even though it never loads).

SQRL invented the anti-phishing public key cryptography based approach to website authentication many years ago. It was a beautiful spec of one page with multiple grassroots implementations.

Then they decided that the simple "I sign something with a key" approach wasn't good enough, they also had to cover a bazillion other key management things in the protocol so they brought a team of academics that turned the thing into a 300-page unreadable spec that no one ever implemented fully.

LNURL-auth basically reinvented the original simple SQRL version in 2019 and got many implementations and some traction within the bitcoiner realm.

But at the same time another team of academics probably by paid by some evil people were creating Webauthn, i.e. "passkeys", which solves the exact same problem and works in the exact same way, although this time the spec is much bigger than even the worst version of SQRL and apparently designed to create centralization.

It took them at least 6 years to get browsers and phones and some websites to start adopting this behemoth, but so far there are no answers to what is their real purpose or to the question: "what if I lose my phone?".

Did I sunset it? I would like to keep it but I thought my rewrite had already screwed it up so I just removed that last file.

I didn't have the time to test it or use it in any way.

Are you telling me it still works? How do I test it again? I'll bring it all back if I can.

I thought it was free. I did set up a bunch of button toggles on their free interface but apparently it did not work. Maybe there are other buttons I have to click there.

Definitely not my specialty, although I'm not awful at it. In any case I definitely have no idea of how to deal with a neverending wave of evil scrapers with thousands of IP addresses at their disposal and I refuse to keep wasting time on that.

Added a "spell" command to https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak

- `nak req -k 777 -a [email protected] --outbox | jq` to see all @npub107jk7... spells
- pick one and run `nak req -i c1214b196b3664bc7fc8c8dfaa082a24ed09b25028773bcae60fef8dfe6646fa -a [email protected] --outbox | nak spell --pub fiatjaf.com` to run it in the context of your user (replace 'fiatjaf.com' with your npub or nip05)
- `nak spell` will list your previously used spells with ids that you can use to invoke them again: `nak spell spellcgk4u9c --pub fiatjaf.com`

It's not super useful, but it is something.

I can't find it either, but I think the original was funnier. This version borks the best part ("four thousand words just to say I don't even need you guys") by arbitrarily removing words from the original lyrics.

I have an issue with opening entities by clicking on them. It's amazing, but sometimes they open in weird places and if I click too much I end up with a ton of panels.

If you could somehow figure out a way to open stuff in the same panel, perhaps optionally with a keyboard shortcut, that would be good, but then we would probably also need a back button for each panel? I don't know.

Another thing that would mitigate the issue would be to somehow have different colors or different borders (or something) for panels of different kinds, e.g. subscriptions are blue, events are green, profiles are yellow etc.
