  • People hate being told to use magnetic tape

    Because there are still horror stories of them falling apart and not lasting even in proper controlled conditions

    Maximizing privacy on Android without custom ROMs?
  • Yes I mean google wallet. I've never heard of a banking app supporting NFC payments by itself, I was not aware that was even a thing... googling suggests that might be an EU-only thing.

    Maximizing privacy on Android without custom ROMs?
  • Every time I think about running custom roms or degoogled stuff, I remember that NFC payments will no longer work and then I get sad.

  • curious what people are asking and where you are when this happens? I would be shocked if I was just walking around my local grocery store and someone has any clue what Haiku is.

    Proxying a single app through WireGuard while routing everything else through Mullvad VPN on Linux
  • network namespaces can do it, firejail makes it easy but there's several other methods as well.

    if you already know the IP address(es) you will be communicating with, it's even easier just by adding a static route with a gateway of the VPN interface.

    Feds' decision to ease PFAS rules based on industry study
  • 200-something

    So just using your stovetop/oven exposes you to toxic gases? that doesn't sound safe.

    I guess that's why some oven manufacturers tell you not to use it around birds.

    Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN
  • You don't control any VPN services hosted on someone else's (e.g. a cloud provider's) infrastructure

    We must have very different definitions of "control".

    They have full access and can technically do anything.

    You could say the same for anyone with physical access to a machine. But the people who have to worry about that likely aren't reading this.

    And they see your incoming and outgoing connections.

    So does any bandwidth provider you pay money to.

    This is stupid, and doesn't give you any privacy benefit.

    Highly debatable and subjective IMO

    There are good and trustworthy VPN providers

    Depends on your definition of trustworthy... some say it's impossible to trust any company.

    Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN
  • I think there's mainly two usecases:

    • the "weird" people who don't visit any mainstream sites and live under a rock

    • people who disable JS by default but are always adding exceptions for sites that need it

    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.

    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> ...

    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/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
