Best #example I have of #centralized servcice breaking your day:
#bowlroll title

I had like 30+ models on there.
Invented some cool password hints and made a tool to find it yourself .

Until one day

*poof*

All my uploaded models deleted.
No warning
No info
Nothing

Had it been a single model to be removed with #warning ?
Sure.

But all ?

Especially those #TOS
"Models for own use only forbidden"
"Admin reserves right to remove whenever"

I bet ppl complained my "passwords" were too strong
(No crc hash means the zip s were hard to crack  )

And admin-bla pressed DELETE

Goodie

I hate #aristocrat admins

I only reuploaded a few models
And most have few dld's now

Good riddance bowlroll
 

(Most dlds on there have pass hints in videos.
Or my favorite: Websites no longer online.
And as bowlroll uses severside tech to check passwords you cannot even download the file
Ridiculous)

Furthermore:
Had I not kept backups and only relied on Bowlroll..

All my stuff'd be gone.

When stuff is gone its gone - aka. don't trust the internet to keep your data safe - HTMLy

Some might recall the last time I **had to replace a service**. Namely JSFIDDLE, which suddenly decided to unlist all my fiddles. *(as of end2024

BowlRoll is a Japanese file hosting site catering to the VOCALOID, UTAU and MMD communities. The site is known for its strict adherence to rules. The site is a successor to the well-known Bytatsu uploader. Some files from Bytatsu were trasferred to BowlRoll after the original uploader went offline. This site became the main distribution channel to many Japanese modellers after the demise of Loda.jp. From 2013, base edits are no longer allowed on BowlRoll as a well-known MMDer has uploaded nude T

Tbh ..
Uploading to #bowlroll is kinda a worse thing to do than #vroidhub ..
On bowlroll -even if just pmx - you give out #source files.
#Rigged , #textured 100% functional files.

People can convert them to whatever they like ...

And, *gulp* do whatever they like 
(Scary)

On #vroid hub most ppl only allow usage in linked apps, no #vrm download.
And even then, the source *.vroid is always in the owner \ creators control.


It's a difficult topic...

Kinda feels letting your children venture out into the world.
But you can't shelter them forever, and they are there to do good after all

Hmm 
#ModelsAo #PennyPhilosophy #mmd #mikumikudance #vtubing (i hate that term)
Or you can bug #chatgpt for my #bowlroll pass lol

It cracked it as soon a I told it about just the hint.

You could also #bruteforce the #pass with #johntheripper
Using
"Pass: シャーロック 4桁"
from now on (for critical uploads)

As #password hint for my #bowlroll uploads is legit merciful

And ontop it just locks the zip
The #download is not protected

4 digits you can guess
(Or watch all #episodes of #detectiveconan haha)

I want to be fair
(Even if some ppl on #bowlroll have #draconian #password hints !)

Yep
