I thought whisper was for the opposite... speech to text.

I like the attention to sandboxing/security that web apps are given, the ease of updating, and that the UI design is easier/more accessible (many more web devs than anything else) than traditional apps, but I still prefer the speed, size and light (memory) weight of native apps.

Yes but even curl easily passes those tests by default, regardless of the user-agent. I guess I'm just skeptical of how much effect it really has in the real world... you see a lot of people saying "oh yea it works great", but they don't tell you what the before and after bot traffic actually was.

Happen to be proven wrong though if anyone has some hard data.

Isn't that going to be basically every president on earth? Unless you happen to be a president yourself or something.

Yes but it doesn't actually do any work or verify anything... crawlers could follow the refresh URL immediately and get right through. And I'm skeptical that not having to actually solve a PoW could make a meaningful difference, especially if the delay from the meta refresh can be easily bypassed.

non-JS

WebAssembly

Erm... technically correct I guess? But disappointing. Other solutions let you run a local command to generate the response and then paste it into a form.

I sortof understand the argument that it can look like what some malware does, but I feel like there should be an easy fix for that, like maybe just label it as an "advanced user" feature or something, so at least it's still available. I just feel like requiring wasm is a step in the wrong direction and even moreso shuts out legitimate users that don't have/enable wasm on their browser.

I don't understand how/why this got so popular out of nowhere... the same solution has already existed for years in the form of haproxy-protection and a couple others... but nobody seems to care about those.

Your browser lets websites track you even without cookies in c/[email protected]

Extensions themselves are also frowned upon by privacy advocates because anything that modifies or restricts the DOM/javascript/etc. can itself be detected and used as yet another data point to identify someone.

No anti-fingerprinting method currently in use can evade creepjs to my knowledge. And that EFF site has its own issues... it only tests uniqueness across other visitors the site has seen before, and not all possible combinations of data points.

Does Made-in-America Make Sense For PCB Prototyping? in c/[email protected]

Even if your boards are made in the US, aren't the machines they use made overseas anyway? Doesn't seem very scalable to me.

ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)
 

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

  • Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
  • Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
  • Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
  • Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
  • To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)
 

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'
...

Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)

7 comments fedilink
 

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (programming.dev)
 

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/[email protected] on my own instance?
