The other repos from this person are also worth checking: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish E.g.: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/Anarch

Also worth nothing that this person is an open pedophilia advocate and "race realist" as can be seen on their homepage https://www.tastyfish.cz/ Can't speak for the quality of the software but important to note.

A lot of crazy stuff on there, but Privacy is censorship threw me for a loop.

I haven’t heard that one before

I was about to flag this comment but... yikes. You're right. Super awkward. "I immediately turn off any documentary where a woman starts talking as a "scientist"." - what the hell.

Well. That says something.

He is also the maintainer of a web browser whose specification seems to be ‘to leave as little trace as possible in the event of a police raid’, which is pretty suspicious.

Your home can be raided for, say, running a Tor node, and you best believe they'll be looking for anything to charge you with because that's their job. I don't see anything wrong with this one. Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany.

Fun fact: I operated a TOR node for a while (not an exit node). It was in a datacenter and I mostly got yelled at because the IP was flagged as malicious outbound and the reputation of the IP range was degraded. I stopped the node but I still have the IP adress which is still inaccessible to most office workers years after ;-).

At no time did I think that I was risking jail time if my computer was seized. I'm lucky enough to live in a democratic country and I have a clean conscience.

There are two main types of people who are interested in TOR, the defence of privacy and the development of privacy protection software:

- Those who think about the situation of homosexuals and journalists in countries where they risk the death penalty or life imprisonment. Police state, government overreach, woman health, etc...

- Those who live in democratic countries but have a lot to hide.

The two populations coexist but do not mix.

That does not sound right and I am unable to find any source for that claim.

EDIT: Nmap might fall under § 202c STGB [1] and »verschaffen« (obtain) probably does not even require installing it, downloading it would probably be sufficient. But my non-lawyer interpretation would be that this only applies if you are doing it for the purpose of a crime as it starts with »Wer eine Straftat nach § 202a oder § 202b vorbereitet, indem er [...]« (Who prepares a criminal act according to § 202a or § 202b by [...]).

So disgusting that you should probably drop ` https:// ` to make it not directly linked. I'm not only talking about "usual" stuffs, but he also overlaps with Terry A. Davis to me in the way that they are technically proficient and have potential to make a great thing but still remain very terrible as a person...

Terry A. Davis had a mental illness, so it is a bit unfair to claim that he was very terrible as a person. If someone breaks a leg, they may be unable to walk, but may walk again when they are cured. It does not make them a non-walker as a person. I think the distinction between illness and identity is important.

Also, was Davis that hateful? Haven't followed him, and what I know from him is mostly anecdotal, but apart from some slurs he mostly did long weird God and CIA unhinged posts, but not active hate edgelord stuff like what I see from this guy.

There is something so satisfying about software written in C99 with this style/philosophy. This program has just the right amount of complexity. This is an art that needs to come back into style.

Lua is written in C89, perhaps a good example of that.

Looks like that guy got lost a little in his life, I'm asking myself if he can be helped somehow? And if so then how?

> but important to note.

Not sure why. Terry Davis made incredible software and his disability made it more exceptional. Being a weirdo doesn't make code better or worse. I wouldn't want my kids going to a school run by this person, but who cares about who writes interesting code.

He never struck me as a cruel person, maybe a bit callous, and definitely very sick.

His website also lists "child nudity" as one of his passions, so let's not pretend that we're just talking about some unconventional political beliefs.
