[Question] What's the current status of the project?

[lyndsay9968]

Good to see the project is alive again. It would be good if somewhere, for example, in the readme file, there would be information and an explanation about the recent hiatus in development and the archiving of the repository. As the author, of course, you don't owe anyone any explanations, but given what horrible theories (including account takeover) appeared on the web after the project's sudden closure, I think such an annotation would reassure users of your program a bit.

Author's account is hacked? Is SimpleWall still safe to use?

[phaolo2]

Yeah, suddenly setting the project to read-only without any communication doesn't look very reliable.. 🤨

[ltguillaume]

As far as I can tell, the website was also archived to https://github.com/henrypp/henrypp.org, then taken down, so I don't see any indication for the account being hacked or other shady behavior, other than that @henrypp probably wanted to pause/stop development.

@lyndsay9968 and others:

that because i cannot find the jobs at least 5 years (as example, it over 9000), open source is completely cannot give money (stupid github is still reviewing my sponsorship and this is not a joke)

@silo900

1 april is day of idiots that decision is going from west religion (stupid as always), It is curious that before the I century AD almost all Eurasian peoples celebrated the New Year on the day of the vernal equinox (i.e. on Nauryz), Caesar when he changed the Roman calendar for simplicity and consistency moved the date to April 1, (we in Kazakhstan is still celebrate Nauryz as starting of the year spring, because of spring begining not in 1 March, but on spring equinox, learn geography), that happening until XVI century Grigory XIII moved new year to 1 january.

People who continued to celebrate the April 1 holiday were ridiculed and called “April Fools”.

About religion stupidity:
Pope Gregory IX, who disliked all cats, issued the bull “Vox in Rama” in 1233. In it he demonizes heretics and declares the black cat to be Satan incarnate. Destruction of tailed cats by the Inquisition lasted until about 1700.

and then (funny?) become Black Death (as Atra mors) in 1346-1353, because cats cannot kill rats because of pope stupidity (no one talks about it, but i remember and think religion is fault of deaths more than 100 million peoples because of dumb people), i have black cat (and it become my before Flow (2024)) and it kind of best my cat ever because i did not listen to stupid religion...

and what, religion is not bullshit????

@gn4881

there is no logic at all, how can i archive repository when i'l be hacked?????

@phaolo2

i have telegram (on profile page) where i answer at least immediately

[henrypp]

@silo900

Do you take western money ?

i dont know what it is? only give me a job its better

Marking my posts as a spam does not help you to look at reality.

maybe, but it is complete off-topic!

Only sensible firewall that is fast pure C not in some bloat language like it has become "norm" these days.

[henrypp]

@fcore117
dotnet is garbage, it even cannot bytecode compile, it like script language and its source code in resources or overlay, lol, complete bullshit!

and can be decompiled through ilspy and others))! even obfuscator not much helps to hide source code!

Good luck with never ending crashes.

[henrypp]

@tnodir

your .net is never crashing?

[tnodir]

your .net is never crashing?

My C++/Qt is never crashing in production.
(But it of course crashes sometimes during development.)

And of course my C rarely crashed in production too in Fort's driver, causing BSOD.
Fortunately the driver is small and does not change much.

So, C is hard anyway and why complicate your life when it is not necessary?

[henrypp]

@tnodir

oh shi, i forgot that you on QT (another strange as fuck development, where even Hello World consume 200mb)

so:

So, C is hard anyway and why complicate your life when it is not necessary?

same question!

[tnodir]

even Hello World consume 200mb

Fort is 16MB now and consumes same-ish RAM, as Simplewall.

It's a reasonable price for quick and safe development.

same question!

But I don't have that many crashes.

[tnodir]

I recommend PVS-Studio - static analyzer for C etc.

It has a free license for open-source projects.

[henrypp]

@tnodir

But I don't have that many crashes.

no, crash not because of using C lang, but not right edit control sububclassing (someting like that)

Never ending crashes comes from dumb ass programmers. Not the language fault.

[zigzag312]

I stumbled upon here while searching for a better firewall. This is certainly an interesting candidate.

@henrypp a bit off-topic, but the claim about cats killing looks like it's false (originating in a book from 1999) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_in_Rama#Allegations_of_cat-killing. I also could not find confirmation of April Fools origins story. There's already enough hate in the world, better not to invent new false things to be mad about.

I wish you best of luck with your job hunt! I know from experience how bad it is when the income is not stable over a longer period of time. Peace

Based off GROK,

Try using your own brain next time. Cheers.
