    For posterity because I didn’t explain why/how it’s sketchy:

    • they just found a hardcoded key that skips all security that was in the wild for like two years
    • significant vibe coding means nobody actually understands the codebase. Hence not finding the backdoor key
    • some of the documentation is only in Chinese, which isn’t sketchy in itself, but given the backdoor key does seem fucking sketchy.
    • they have an X link you cannot remove from the admin console
    • the admin console has minor but stupid bugs: you can’t go from a bucket to the list of buckets, auth is janky, etc.

    Just because it’s good a good name doesn’t make it good pedigree (which is a bone I have with rustXYZ named projects). The fact nobody caught serious backdoors for years is damning.

    If you’re running this offline, it might be fine for you. I still run it inside my vpn behind auth but I’m looking to move off.

      Thx very much. That’s valuable info. I edited my comment and crossed it off my list of software to evaluate for future projects. I already got the vibe-coding and a bit of sketchiness by scrolling through the latest commits and issue tracker.
