never the concern

It is when you're responding to people who think 5G is turning the frogs gay and activating hidden vaccine microchips.

One thing to learn on the internet is to never ever go into the comments section

Linux CoC Announces Decision Following Recent Bcachefs Drama in c/linux

[–] refalo 2 points 1 day ago

I've always said CoCs are often just a false flag used to handwave dictatorship behavior away while hiding behind colorful interpretations of subjective terminology.

full of reactionaries shitting on Linux for having a CoC and enforcing it.

Because they don't enforce it for Linus. Yea he "took a break" and went to therapy etc. (before the CoC was introduced IIRC), but he still routinely abuses people publicly with no remorse or empathy, and continues to do it for decades now. As another commenter said of the CoC and Linus's continued current behavior today, "Of the 10 bullet points there he violates 6 of them."

And I don't agree with the people who claim "he has to be that way because blah blah and Linux wouldn't be what it is today etc.", I still think it's entirely possible to be a whole lot nicer while also being firm when necessary and still achieve the same end result.

Of course people are upset over double standards.

Fingerprinting and Tracing Shadows: The Development and Impact of Browser Fingerprinting on Digital Privacy in c/privacy

[–] refalo 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Why is TLS fingerprinting not mentioned? This is what CloudFlare uses and it's highly effective (unfortunately). It doesn't even require any use of HTML, CSS or JavaScript, and so can even identify non-browser things.

What is currently the best way to use linux-libre? in c/[email protected]

[–] refalo 2 points 1 day ago

real linux-libre distros do not offer microcode packages because they are non-free

Bring this to the US please. As long as there's no human operators at the wheel.

Hot patching should be the norm in c/[email protected]

[–] refalo 2 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Agreed. Ubuntu keeps this behind a paywall (or maybe just a sell-your-data wall), but I see no reason the same patches can't be built and provided for free.

How can a layperson learn enough about the law to adapt to a police situation? in c/[email protected]

[–] refalo 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

And never open your front door for any reason. If the cops or anyone else really needed you that bad, they'd be busting the door down anyway and you're already fucked six ways to Sunday.

Also cameras. Lots of them. Different brands. Offline recording. INSIDE AND OUT. Ask me how I know.

I would argue they're not safe to use because they block security updates like CPU microcode in the name of absolute freedom.

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

submitted 3 months ago by refalo to c/programming

3 comments fedilink

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)

submitted 6 months ago by refalo to c/meta

6 comments fedilink

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"}'
...
< HTTP/2 403

Some comments not appearing? (self.meta)

submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by refalo to c/meta

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? (self.lemmy_support)

submitted 7 months ago by refalo to c/[email protected]

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?
