alright I had to flash the board with a different kernel because it was too out of date for FEX so we're back to torturing this chip

wrote my own bodged metro patcher into nitesky in an hour, proving that monkeypatching social-app is still the meta. also metro uses single quotes instead of double quotes so I had to fix like every single patch

1.133 doesn't actually seem to be deployed in web? I was gonna look at the Metro changes to see if it broke nitesky but I don't have it even after a cache refresh

excellent reviews from the gang

katie: bro jules you have a mental disease your fucking server uses harmony to patch asp.net
katie: what the fuck
me: I didn't wanna fork it and it was so much effort to copy the classes in since some of them were internal

this is a little ragebait because it requires you to still put something in <head> but that's just a standard site limitation. thankfully I am the greatest programmer to exist

function getPostTid(date: Date) {
const microseconds = date.getTime() * 1000;
const tid = TID.create(microseconds, 0);
return tid.slice(0, -4) + "meow";
}

PRO TIP: want to support 4.0 and 4.1+ GDExtension builds in the same executable? simply check if a function pointer equals four

$// Godot 4.0's interface is a direct pointer to GDExtensionInterface, // but 4.1 and onwards use GDExtensionInterfaceGetProcAddress. Since // GDExtensionInterface starts with a version number, we can dereference // this pointer and check if it equals the major version (4) to determine // what engine version we're running on. Yes, this hack is as stupid as it // sounds. let maybe_major_version = unsafe { *(std::mem::transmute::<_, *const u32>(interface)) }; let is_4_0 = maybe_major_version == 4;$

@katie.cat and I found @sketbordcat.bsky.social's Horse Magnifier called this and exploited it in literally 15 minutes *while playing CS2* (this vuln was fixed in this game and isn't an issue anymore) I cannot believe this doesn't have a warning, Godot devs *really* need to care about security more

thank you Google Gemini I really appreciate the kind words

Google search for "creator of playerscope ffxiv" with the following AI Overview:
