Not much else needs to be said tbh. Fuck Spez. // Edit: Not sure why imgur marked the album as NSFW, but there’s nothing NSFW in it other than the name of one of the mods including the word “removed”
Personal comment: the critter isn’t even dead but the vultures are already flying in circles around it. I certainly do not envy their situation, I bet that the users will treat them like shit.
Yeah, I mean the goal would be to link the IDs across all instances. Rather than having different numbers and running a calculation into a table that links the IDs, you could just have a table, or better yet just have the same ID.
The issue probably lies in creation of new IDs. Different instances may have to be allocated a block of IDs, so that they can create new IDs without conflicting with any other instance.
If youvwant that you’d be using public key cryptography and having the user hold a private key
