I've been building an unusual social media experiment and just recently added free trials, so now is a good time to ask for feedback.

The idea is that instead of ads, data sharing, or subscriptions, there's a fixed supply of profile pages that people can buy, customise, and later resell if they choose.

https://buy-a-slice-of-pi.com/

How it works: The website is built around the first 1,000 digits of π, with the cheapest ones at the bottom and the expensive ones at the top. A slice of digits becomes your own customisable profile page. With the free trial, you can have any available single digit for free for one day.

With a trial or purchase, you can do the following:

• upload a profile photo
• write a bio
• add links to your other social media websites (or any links)
• publish blog posts
• receive comments from anyone with an email address -- you moderate your comments received.

If you buy, you get more features including the ability to share with friends, gift the page and resell all or part of your slice at a price that you choose.

My request: I am not looking for sales at this point, instead I want feedback. I want to know if you like the idea and/or the website, and what you think could be done better. I will be very grateful for any feedback I get, positive or negative. Also, do you believe in the concept of digital ownership for social media?

How I built it: I've been working on this for about 3 months using a Pro Claude plan. I've gone through several iterations trying to improve the user experience while keeping security and privacy in mind. I'm an application security engineer by profession, but one who believes that security cannot sacrifice user experience. The site is entirely passwordless: login is through emailed magic links.

What I would really love to see is some videos that provide the scramble and the person talks through slowly how they determine how they plan the whole first block on inspection.

I was watching a few videos in the resources section: they don’t always give the scramble and they often go very fast, flipping the cube around to show what they are thinking before I can really see what they are talking about without slowing the video down to ridiculously slow speeds. If they provided the scramble, then at least I could inspect it more before watching their advice. Are there any good videos that provide what I am asking for? I really want to see LOTS of examples like this where the pro goes at my speed so I can study them.

The traditional vulnerability disclosure timeline relies on a fundamental assumption: exploit development and vulnerability discovery take time. Over the last 12 months the integration of LLMs into offensive tooling has demonstrably broken this assumption.
I recently published a technical write-up arguing that the 90-day disclosure window is effectively dead backed by three specific observations from recent incidents:

1. Automated Diff Analysis (30-minute n-days) : The safety net between a patch release and an in-the-wild exploit is gone. Taking a recent React security patch (CVE-2026-23870), I used an LLM to analyze the diff, identify the vulnerable path, and write a working DoS PoC in roughly 30 minutes. The human reverse-engineering bottleneck has been bypassed.
2. Vulnerability Convergence : I recently reported a critical P0 to a vendor and was told I was the 11th reporter in 6 weeks. LLM assisted scanners are causing independent researchers to converge on the same bugs simultaneously. An embargo no longer contains the vulnerability; it simply provides a head start to whichever threat actor also found it.
3. The Linux Kernel (Copy Fail & Dirty Frag) : The recent kernel exploits highlight this perfectly. Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) went from an automated AI scan to a public PoC to nation state weaponization in days. Shortly after the embargo for Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284 / CVE-2026-43500) was broken in hours because an unrelated third party independently discovered the same bug class using similar tooling.

The defense cannot operate on monthly cycles when the offense is operating in hours. The focus needs to shift to real-time, PR-level AI scanning to match the pace.

I am curious if the researchers here are experiencing similar convergence rates or if you view this as a temporary anomaly while legacy codebases are scanned with new tools.
