I built an app that scans every social media network for your username
I found myself scrolling through Github’s “trending” repos, looking for some coding inspiration. Within the next hour, I stumbled across something called The Sherlock Project. Interesting, It had over 35k stars, must be pretty popular.
I quickly cloned the repo and started toying around with it. It didn’t take me long to realize the power of this tool. All I had to do was insert a username, and Wa Lah! I was looking at every social media website that was associated with the username. Not only that but direct links to the accounts.
I immediately wanted to turn this into a web app so that everyone could use it. My first challenge was that this was a CLI tool, so I got to work. The Sherlock project makes about 400 requests to various site s to check if your username exists. This was going to be tough... I noticed they were using requests.FutureSession to multithread the result.
My first thought was maybe I could collect all the requests into a list and then dump it back to the frontend with a get request, but the issue here was that the results could take a couple minutes to gather, and no-one is gonna sit and wait that long.
Ok, so how do I continuously report out data to the frontend as the requests get full-filled? The answer? Web-sockets. Not just any web-socket though, a multithreaded web-socket. After ALOT of trial and error I finally got something working. The Issue now though was that it wouldn't run in production due to a multiprocessing error: Daemonic processes are not allowed to have children.
The hell did that mean? back to the drawing board. Eventually I learned that you cant use the standard multiprocessing library for this kind of thing, you had to use billiard. Bam! It worked. I quickly hacked together a simple frontend, configured the web socket, and results were pouring in.
Time to post on reddit. I quickly sent out a post or two and eagerly awaited peoples responses. There was an issue though. The more people flooded the site, the slower it got until it was completely unusable. Dang. How do I fix this? I removed the post quickly and got back to work.
Turns out, the web-socket is considered a "long running request" as it makes 400 external requests. Maybe I could use celery to offload this process to a worker and queue it up. I started working on it and realized this was a little out of my skill range.
I then decided to take a look at the logs where I hosted the code and what do i find? CPU, Memory, and bandwidth all reaching a staggering 100% usage. Welp, I found my issue. I did some rework of my codebase and it started running a little faster.
I then realized the true issue. I was using the free tier of Render that only allowed for one instance of my app...duh.
Needless to say, I learned to take it slow, build tests for my code, and be patient with results.
What do you guys think? Any hard lessons learned in coding? What were your takeaways?

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

Teddit Is Shutting Down
This is a particular teddit instance shutting down, not teddit the software project.
Stuff is moving a lot currently and there is a bumpy road ahead, but there are several courses of action already being mapped out (scraping html, r-e the private gql api, a setting for operators to put some auth token, ..).

Ask HN: Is Reddit imposing rate limits too?
Sadly the quick refresh is no longer working for me, and going through all of the instances on Libredirect, they all seem to be constantly down now.
It appears that they are trying to deal with this issue here:

- What’s up with Reddit telling me to use the official Reddit app to see porn?

Joey is still working because of less users
Yes, the official Reddit app uses a different endpoint for authentication. There has been great progress in reverse-engineering the private API: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/818
- Version 1.21 released

Nitter just died today.
There's a fork of Libreddit that uses the API key leaked from the official Reddit app: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/pull/819
