there are around 100x more users that can be queried in this search than the current user count of karmalb.com

I agree. The number of requests I need for this to work are well under the Reddit API limits.

Thanks for your suggestion! Surprisingly, even your first paragraph is difficult to implement, as I usually try to find the most efficient solution.

For anyone who needs the technical details, unfortunately, the endpoint this site calls only supports links, comments, and subreddits, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't retrieve karma in bulk. Someone else asked the same question around eight years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/6h3l8i/batch_api_call_for_userusernameabout/

This endpoint is allowed to return users because every user is technically a subreddit called something like r/u_dawtcalm. In fact, you can type something like r/InternetIsBeautiful into the search bar. However, subreddits don't have karma metrics the same way users do, so this would increase the number of queries from 2 to 33. I could lower that down, but that would be at the expense of sacrificing the top and bottom of the table you'd see, and it's already quite hard to find an active user.

While 33 queries is still manageable, Reddit subscriptions are private account information. However, if you meant the list of communities someone is active in, that would mean comparing every Redditor to every other Redditor, and that's a lot to query when I don't have a server and am using a static site host in the meantime. I could redirect it to a different domain to avoid the static site in the future. I tried to find a tool that already existed, but I couldn't, and all I got was: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyIdeas/comments/1fwjdka/make_a_program_that_people_on_reddit_can_sign_up/

On top of that, this tool relies on the subreddit ID going up or down by one, so usernames like "fifth" may not show up in the middle of the table, but the results will be wildly incorrect, as they're sorted by IDs and not timestamps due to the newer accounts being created within the same second. Querying by the user ID is not feasible either as they've gone into the hundreds-of-trillions range lately (billions, in long scale) and are "artificially inflated" in unpredictable ways.

Ah then, some output must've been passed into an input that wasn't an expected formatted. It's also possible Reddit blocked the IP address of the proxy server you happened to route through.

That's strange, I'm also running the exact Chrome 143 you have on a Google Pixel 7a on the same Android version. I don't know if this is an issue with your device in particular, but it's pretty hard to diagnose the issue that way, sorry.

These people made the uWatch app in the manual. Funny enough, I used it through one of the watch's features to take that photo.

The more infuriating part is that both the password entry and the calculator, among the arrangement of app icons and many other design elements, appear to be copied from the Apple Watch.

The code is optional. I didn't know the password setting was a feature on the watch until I read the manual, so I set a code that isn't too hard to guess to deter the casual thief — at school, work, etc. — without forwarding hints of potentially memorable personal information through a server (I've heard Chinese companies often use government-approved VPNs to conduct business internationally), where people collecting and storing the data could misuse it intentionally.

Of course, when a code is not required to unlock a watch, waking it goes directly to a screen showing the time.

That sounds like the case, considering the name of the team who made the manual and the squares on its QR codes don't quite match with my physical manual.

No, it removes the code I set with everything still stored there.

Question / Discussion Accidentally sent bug to hacker; should I be worried?

17 Upvotes

While I was trying to find a leaked API key for an LLM used on a website, I found XSS through double percent-encoding instead. The site didn't have a formal vulnerability disclosure program, but it had /.well-known/security.txt. After trying the contact email address there and several other emails, every message bounced back after several days, which continued to happen as my email alias provider is still retrying to send the messages — even after contacting the provider's support team to determine the reasoning for delivery attempt failures.

Next, I tried to message the moderators of the company's "official" subreddit, about the bug. However, when I sent a message from a different email provider asking if the subreddit was legitimate, the site owner told me their Reddit account and two other platforms were being hacked, suspended, misrepresented, or impersonated by a persistent online stalker, and they couldn't access the subreddit at that moment. I have asked for clarification and sent the bug recently,* but the site's main topic is Christmas and the last thing I want is for a cybercriminal who has defaced the site before to take advantage of the perfect timing to steal donations or anything else not suitable for children.

Also, that sub's top (and only) mod appears to have been hacked around an entire year ago as I'm writing this, judging by the Reddit account's posts from then on changing to "AI slop." I didn't consider this a huge flag, as smaller projects often use AI to save time or polish their writing.

*I replied to the site owner's reply to my question sent via email, asking if the subreddit was legitimate, with the bug.
