I believe Null was in Europe for a while but has been in the US since the Keffals shit kicked off.

My reason for believing this is his attempts at saying he had to deal with a family emergency or whatever it was, for reasons why the site was offline and all the excuses as to why he couldn't fix his own website. I believe that point in time was Josh in the midst of moving back to the US.
Most people unquestionably assumed his time off was related to his dead grandma but the timeline never made any sense because she died 2 weeks before his announcement.
Josh's maternal grandmother passed away. That is the family emergency.
he has a family emergency but can still post updates and scan the telegram chat to yell at morons
According to this Josh missed the funeral by almost 2 weeks so it makes me wonder what this "sudden family emergency" is really about. Inheritance?
 
Jesus he’s a worse coder than even Yandere Dev

I don't know what you're seeing in this snippet of code that offended your programming sensibilities... but I actually asked my friend - who works with a lot of programmers on a daily basis - what his impression of Null's code was. I told him that this snippet of code was part of a larger computer program that is supposed to function as anti-DDoS software. He said that this part of the code shows "a very simple database automation" that looks "very general purpose, something someone could've coded in any general purpose lanuage, in SQL itself or in a batch file" and "something someone who is unfamiliar with Rust as a langauge and with Rust-specific optimizations might have coded".

When I told him that Null is originally a PHP programmer, he laughed and said: "I would've done the same thing 10-15 years if I needed to code something similar, only I would've done it in PHP". Meaning: someone familiar with PHP and Rust can tell that Null is a PHP programmer trying to code in a new language he isn't yet fluent in.

He also wondered why Null isn't just using a stored procedure on his SQL server instead of putting it in an application. He said that doing this through an application is inefficient and that he wouldn't hardcode SQL queries, because "it's bad practice and hard to maintain", saying "it's better to do such queries in a stored procedure" so that you can change the SP in the event of having to change the filter, without having to change the application itself. He said that "this something any professional programmer knows", and the only way to do it the way Null does it is because you don't want to do things professionally because you're in a hurry.

He guestimated that there might be enough functional logic in the surrounding code (which Null doesn't show) that would make coding this in Rust a good idea, but perhaps not enough to make it worthwhile to do things more thoroughly.

He concluded saying: "The more complex an application is, the stranger it is to use hardcoded SQL queries."

... but then he figured out that Null is using the ScyllaDB library (a database driver that allows one to formulate semi-direct SQL queries, which is used for load balancing, asynch execution, retry policies, error handling, etc), whereupon he admitted being unfamiliar with Cassandra (which he suspects is what Null is using), but he would still like to know why Null is not carrying out such a simple task on the server, if only from an efficiency viewpoint.

This is what an impartial outsider who doesn't know Null or his website had to say about Null's Rust code upon seeing it for the first time.
 
WTF, Null was interviewed on the Heterodorx podcast?! 🤨

In 1993 John Gilmore famously said, “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.” To learn why that’s no longer true, listen to Josh Moon enumerate “the amount of things that have broken that people in the industry assumed could never break,” as activists with personal vendettas and political agendas relentlessly employ every possible strategy to silence his small but notorious gossip site Kiwi Farms. From Cloudflare to Hurricane Electric, ISPs, data centers, and payment processors, literally anything up and down the Border Gateway Protocol has been targeted to shut down the ‘Farms. With ISIS, the KKK, Stormfront, neo-nazis, and child porn all continuing to enjoy online services, who expected “the gossip site that makes fun of troons” to be the straw to break the Internet’s backbone? And why have the individuals and organizations who once stood against censorship lost their own?


Doesn't Null know that the podcast's co-host Nina Paley is an animator? I remember I had downloaded and watched her hilarious blacklisted animation Seder Masochism which I still have on one of my external drives.



Remember what Null said about people who make adult animations and those who watch them?

Don't think anyone else has posted this(?), so here's Joosh's interview on 'Heterodorx' podcast, that he mentions last MATI.


The hosts seemed fairly sympathetic to KF (and the contrarian mtf host, Corinna Cohn, voiced qualified support for KF, during last year's Cloudflare drama), but I notice that in the dozen-or-so sources they link, in the description (most for sites just mentioned in passing), they never link the site the entire episode is discussing, which seems like it may be relevent.


Hey Corinna & Nina, just ask Null to fix his broken ass website once and see how long you last on KF.

BTW, you can apparently leave Heterodorx comments on their webpage for this podcast episode, so feel free to tell them all about your experiences with Null.
 
Hahaha he actually defended the ukulele groomer girl? Holy shit that's funny. He probably simps for her.
I think he actually called her content "wholesome" no joke. He also tried to smear the accuser because they were a tranny. Had no idea who Colleen was before this drama so I didn't really know myself when he said it. When I looked into it tho it seemed clear Colleen was a weirdo.
 
He's still considering putting out a zine:

Quarterly zine sounds fun. After the next merch run I'll address this seriously because people responded well to it

How many people/companies has he said he's gonna sue?

I'd sue if they blocked us
