What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

It uses other signals too, like what other sites you've visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you're logged into a google account and take that into account.

There's even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn't even bother to show a checkbox.

It's different in different markets. In Australia and New Zealand it's usually a reasonably well made medium-dark blend.

You'll get much better at any dedicated café, but it's also miles better than sbux (who don't even use real espresso machines).

I enjoy OpenMW and I'm happy to host if you want, although my instance is basically just me and a few friends right now.

I've used a number of different Linux distros (including Debian) on laptops over the years. Although most recently my XPS 15 was running Arch.

It's falsifying business records, which becomes a felony when combined with it being a campaign finance violation.

Not as strong of a case as the docs one but it is a crime.

That's a nice rice!

How are you finding awesomewm? I've just been on i3 since forever but I'm always interested to hear about other WMs

Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional? in c/programming
[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Hi, I've been doing TypeScript in my day-job and hobbies for six and a bit years now. I would not write JS in any other way.

TS is also a superset of JS so all JS is valid (unless you turn on strict mode). So there is no productivity loss/learning curve unless you want there to be.

In fact, a lot of people who think they're not using typescript are using it because their editors use typescript definitions for autocomplete and JSDoc type signatures are powered by typescript.

I use Alpine Linux quite a bit, which is a Linux distro that doesn't use the GNU coreutils or glibc.

Also even giving GNU such a high level in the name on a distro like Arch makes little sense imo because other components like systemd are arguably much more important than one of many libc libraries you can optionally use and a bunch of coreutils you can also optionally use.

Query to fix modlog (campfyre.nickwebster.dev)
 

The modlog page can break if anyone has been banned with an expiry too far into the future, I grabbed this query to fix it from the github issue a while back and refined it a little if it's useful to anyone:

BEGIN;
-- The modlog UI breaks for bans too far in the future
SELECT * FROM mod_ban WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years';
-- Lets just make them permanent as an easy fix lol
UPDATE mod_ban SET expires = NULL WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years';
-- See our changes
SELECT * FROM mod_ban WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years';
ROLLBACK;
-- replace ROLBACK; with COMMIT; if you're happy

This will make any ban with an expiry >10 years into the future permanent and fix your modlog. If this happens a lot it might be worth making this a trigger in your lemmy db.
