  I’ve never done much in JavaScript but isn’t (100 - 1 + 1) just 100? Am I missing some JS magic?

    that section of the script is just generating a random number (two actually) that it’ll use to try and pull up a page.

    Better read, is this a a loop of 500. In that loop there are 4 page accesses being attempted.

    • a modlog page at the first random index
    • a modlog page at the second random index
    • then a search for the second index
    • then another search for “fuck” + the second index number

    so it uses your computer 500 times to access their page 4 different ways.

    If anything, I undershot the estimate (their random number is sloppy, and will have collisions). But assuming they don’t have any collisions, they use your computer to ping dbzero0 2000 times

    The two answers you got didn’t really answer your question. I’m still with you as far as confusion about not making * (100 - 1 + 1) just 100.

      ohshi, yea, you’re right. I totally spaced that… why didn’t he just write 100 there? I get the last +1 to keep it non-zero…

      I think bro just script-kiddied a random number script.

        I honestly was thinking it was some language quirk that I just didn’t understand.

    I’m leaning towards AI slop coding.

    People aren’t actually answering your question, so I will:

    I have no fucking idea what -1 + 1 is supposed to be doing.

    If it were “100” - 1 + 1, I might say he’s converting a string to a number, but he isn’t, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It takes the random number given by the generator (float value between 0 and 1), and maps it to a number between 1 and 100

  BTW, there’s a bug in Lemmy where editing out a URL won’t work over federation, you’ll need to change the URL to something else to remove it.
