that's an awfully high horse you're up on, son

Wi-Fi can be used to track your movements and also see through walls. in c/privacy@programming.dev

"theoretically" is doing an enormous amount of heavy lifting here... tracking specific identifiable people in this manner (especially when multiple people are present) is about as close to sci-fi as we can get at this moment in time.

It's not that hard really... application-level firewall, only allow the apps you actually use. Or you could block all access from your router except to a proxy, and then configure just the apps you use to use the proxy. Eliminates 99.9% of unwanted outbound traffic.

Many other OSes, distros and apps phone home/have telemetry too (yes even Linux ones), it's not like this is some egregious behavior nobody else does.

That's not documentation, you're intentionally twisting people's words to support a specific narrative that wasn't there in the first place.

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.

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.

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)

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?
