Maximizing privacy on Android without custom ROMs?
  • exactly... it needs the vpn to even pass anything through... but the apps that don't work with vpns... don't work with vpns. as in, it detects the presence of an android vpn connection and refuses to work, it's not related to what internet connection it actually uses, just that a system-controlled vpn is active on the device.

  • Linux-friendly USB fingerprint reader?
  • I use the DigitalPersona 4500 with libfprint. Unfortunately, there are multiple revisions of the device with the same model number and only some of them work properly under Linux (different encryption method I believe). As far as I know this is not actually documented anywhere. Googling just shows a bunch of unresolved bug reports of people having no idea why it doesn't work.

  • The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
  • The bigger problem to me is that I have seen an untold number of open source developers that despise all manner of capitalism in the first place, so you can't even pay them to work on things. It's like they just want everyone to live under a rock in the woods and all be poor together or something. That's not going to progress society very much IMO.

  • Should I choose Ada, SPARK, or Rust over C/C++?
  • While it's great to have the ability to write proofs, I feel like the article makes it sound like it's some magic bullet that solves all the problems you have with mistakes and bugs in other languages. But really, there's nothing forcing you to even write said proofs, or define them properly, or turn spark mode on... so you can still make very large mistakes IMO that won't be caught by the compiler.

  • Any e2ee app for group chat with a web interface?
  • you don't have to load the code every time, you can save it and run locally, this is exactly what the Element desktop app does, it's just an electron loader for a local copy of the website, and you can choose to update it whenever you want

  • First hand experience with TSA biometric collection in airport
  • Japan has been requiring fingerprints AND photographs for all incoming visitors for the better part of two decades now.

    If a foreign national who is required to be fingerprinted and photographed refuses to comply with this requirement, he/she will be denied entry to Japan.

    GitHub - vpand/icpp: Running C++ in anywhere like a script.

    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

    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 ...

    <!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en-US"><head><title>Just a moment...</title> ...

    Some comments not appearing?

    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?

    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?
