• Fingerservice

    From WitNik@VERT/BGGRSCYN to All on Fri Nov 13 23:39:09 2020
    Thanks everyone for all the great feedback on modifying the service to help protect privacy and for the wiki documentation. I created a copy of my fingerservice.js and placed it in my mods directory so that I could make some edits for my particular needs.

    While I don't plan on ever exposing the service's port for external finger queries, it's fun for local users to get more information on other local users or on remote SBBS systems where it is enabled.

    I was surprised that when I enabled displaying ages, the default output publishes the whole birthdate of the user vs. just the age. While I filtered the DOB out of my outputs through custom modification, is there any concerns any of you had over the exposure of a user's birthday by default? Curious about what the use case is to display that information?
