it's just an added benefit, I don't have to make a DB call to verify that :)
vjay15··on My adventure in designing API keys
yea... sorry I still am not the best explainer but that is the approach, I just wanted to have a shorter hash in the meta shard that is it. The approach 3 is an attempt by me to generate my own base62/base70 encoder ;-;
vjay15··on My adventure in designing API keys
Ahhhh I see, I didn't think about it that way too, this could help us a lot yea!!!

Hello thanks for reading through my blog :D Coming to your question, yes! that is possible I mentioned it in my second approach!

But when I mentioned it to my senior he wanted me to default with the random string approach :)

vjay15··on My adventure in designing API keys
Thank you! I will definitely look into it!

Hello bob! the checksum is for secret scanning offline and also for rejecting api keys which might have a typo (niche case)

I just was confused regarding the JWT approach, since from the research I did I saw that it's supposed to be a unique string and thats it!

vjay15··on How Google got its groove back and edged ahead of OpenAI
Antigravity is really amazing yea, by far the best coding assistant IDE, its even superior than Cursor ngl when it comes to very complex tasks, its more methodical in its approach.

That said I still use Cursor for work and Antigravity sometimes for building toy projects, they are both good.

vjay15··on LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop
It is insane that this is happening in one of the most essential piece of software. This is a much needed step to decrease the increase of slop contribution. It's more work for the maintainer to review all this mess.
vjay15··on Creating my own blog from scratch using zola
Hello this is my first blog and my first submission! Please go easy on me
vjay15··on A faster heart for F-Droid
I wish they could give more clarity on whether its hosted in a professional server or someone's bedroom, because just saying that "it's held by a long time contributor with a proven track record of securely hosting services" is not very reassuring.
