Thwarted in what sense? The vast majority of users on the planet blindly accept fine location permissions for every single app, I think that will make most users of this tech happy enough.

Tell that to all the people whose google accounts of 20+ years got locked out with zero recourse or warning.

For me it means getting a different FP ID on every page refresh, so it never thinks you are the same visitor. I've never seen the tests hang at the end, I assume there is something unique it's doing that is different from other browsers.

Fingerprinting and tracking extras

But can it fool creepjs?

Even if it was inspectable content, there are other ways to hide content such as steganography.

The technology works by measuring the time of flight or signal strength between a user's device and multiple nearby WiFi routers

All of that can still be spoofed, and there's no guarantee any other wifi routers are within range. Some adapters won't even background scan at all while you're connected to a station already.

Without the key, the server operator:

  • can't know if the content being reported actually exists

  • can't know if the content should actually be removed or not

  • can't know who to ban if there are repeat offenses

@0807@lemmy.world is the contribute code open-source? I really like the idea and would like to have it as an option for my own projects. Thanks

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"}'
...
< HTTP/2 403

Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by refalo@programming.dev to c/meta@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/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
