They offer him troubleshooting advice because he is a terrible programmer.
Null doesn't troubleshoot anything, he expects his fellow brocoders to do it for him. OK, TBF IIRC he did suggest he's using
Docker containers to test things, but still, when the crap with the disappearing text box was happening on KF (which entirely the result of Null using unlicensed forum software, I bet whoever was targeting KF must've known about that bug in Xenforo), Null literally came into the TG thread and told Kiwis that they shouldn't post about their issues unless they are a professional troubleshooter who can write him a pro bug report. I got so MATI that he would pull such a fucking lame RTFM move on his users.
At one point I started working on a bingo card with Null's usual excuses for his site being in a shit state, but I stopped because it was getting too full as he was making up more and more excuses:
You should've seen the way Null was lashing out against Kiwis in the Technical Grievances thread during #DropKiwiFarms (
"I really really really really do not understand how you guys are breaking the ddos page.", LMAO!), who were only trying to help him deal with the DDoS attacks. The asskissing on KF towards Null as if he's some kind of tech genius is so silly:
As time has gone on since the #DropKiwiFarms failed attempt - I've followed along your KiwiFlare endeavor. Big props to the effort put forth and modifications from its original form. I get excited on each notable version update lol. Part of me has wanted to ask if you ever plan to open source it but I entirely understand why you wouldn't. Most individuals couldn't possibly host it for their own needs and certainly lack the infrastructure in place to accommodate the resource requirements. Would you say it's more CPU or bandwidth heavy for the attacks you've seen in the past 6-12 months? Maybe even 2 years. Obviously doesn't require a reply but the tech talk of it does intrigue me.
"Part of me has wanted to ask if you ever plan to open source it but I entirely understand why you wouldn't", tellingly, Null didn't bother to point out to this curious Kiwi that the anti-DDoS software he's using, namely HAproxy, is already open source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAProxy
And Null's anti-DDoS protection for the .onion, Endgame, is also open source, and is in fact mirrored by CrunkLord420 on his Gitgud account:

Re my previous post where I asked, "Is CrunkLord420 perhaps Alec Murphy, the disappeared TempleOS developer": I have been browsing
CrunkLord420's gitgud.io account a bit, and he sounds way more serious and mature in his software documentation than he does on KF or on his neocities website. It's pretty obvious from the quality of his games and the audio-visual effects that he incorporates into them that he's a fluent C programmer, way more seasoned than Null is. I get the impression that CrunkLord420 is more experienced with tech stuff generally than Null is. Null once said on MATI something to the effect that he
"doesn't always understand his [CrunkLord's] reasoning" when implementing solutions for KF, which made CrunkLord sound like some weirdo eccentric engaged in the online equivalent of
redneck engineering. But the more I look at his stuff, the more I wonder whether if this remark was one of Null's typical backhanded insults, just because Null didn't want to admit that CrunkLord420 is the more experienced nerd between the two of them, so that Null wouldn't have to reveal his reliance upon him. I suspect that CrunkLord420 is LARPing as a dumb teenager online because he doesn't want people to guess at his real age. Which
is very troony, they too like to infantilize themselves, but it could also be some OPSEC age-LARPing.
Not only did CrunkLord420 introduce Null to Monero in 2017 (
"@CrunkLord420 turned me onto XMR and I have a considerable amount of thanks to give him for that", people on this forum already noted that CrunkLord420 is a
"crypto-shill"), I also now suspect that CrunkLord420 was the one who introduced Null to that POS anti-DDoS software HAproxy, that Null started using after he was dropped by Cloudflare. But I need to do a little more research into this.
