@dalias found another one, a secure note keeping app, with e2e. Their privacy page says they have no external tracking. I'm sure the site believes it does. CloudFlare, however, is injecting all kinds of things.

@dalias someone shared an ephemeral ee2e messaging system in JS. They were very proud of it

I questioned the security, as it was hosted by CloudFlare and CloudFlare inserts arbitrary JS. I asked them about that, as it doesn't matter how secure the protocol is if the end is compromised. They stopped responding

@Natasha_Jay @aral I tried one of the test images, they suggested that the person lived in a reasonably high priced US neighbourhood and earned a not very high paying salary, yet subscribed to lots of luxury subscriptions

Annoyed to discover that I was blocked by @ErikvanStraten for boosting the Auschwitz Memorial account. The Holocaust is no excuse for the genocide in Gaza, neither should we ever forget the Holocaust

Not like we've conveniently forgotten all the genocides that happened between then and now, including in Asia and Africa

@GossiTheDog you forget that we measure with two standards. One for us 😇, and one for them 👿

@screwtape isn't this called polish notation? I remember when I first learned bison/flex (GNU YACC/lex equivalent) it got me to write a polish notation calculator which was basically this

@VeroniqueB99 @HistoPol if you only add English in a toot or AltText which is marked English, you can ask Mastodon to translate it if you default language is not English, I do believe it's only if your instance supports it. And as far as I've been able to find out most instances support it

I've found it handy to read toots posted in Chinese or Japanese

@C0redump good morning 🌄

@Radical_EgoCom I'm not familiar enough with Venezuela to give an answer. I know the US don't like him, so he must be doing something good

@farbel @Black_Flag innovations come from people, it doesn't matter what political system they have. You'll be horrified to read the technical, medical, and other scientific advance that has come from murderous fascist states, like 1940s Germany, and is still used in these fields today

Just because a system is communist doesn't affect innovation

@glow that's why I have a crate of Mate an home 😄

@dalias I haven't played with it in a while, and I believe it was also possible to set it from a website in JS with a xml config

@dalias @carnage4life captcha haven't been used for detecting bots in a while, it became part of Google's ad tracking network to verify your a human to ensure it serves ads to humans

Cloudflare reached out on LinkedIn to see if i would want to work with them

@older @forteller Long answer - yes. It could to this by passing the file URL to a stripper tool and returning the stripped results path to the calling program

Hi Mastodon hivemind, a friend has a Gemmacert device and the company behind it has gone bankrupt. He's wondering whether someone has already reverse engineered it, so he can continue to use his expensive machine to measure how potent his weed is

#weed #gemmacert #reverseengineering #dtv #helpneeded

@dalias perhaps by not doing that, only providing a response limited to X posts and then requiring a new request to ask for the previous/next X posts

Ideally, the first response will contain the first post in the thread, which will allow people who want to read the whole thread the possibility to start from the beginning

@dalias that sounds more like a software issue, than a user issue

@aral thank you for sharing 💜

Have a headache that I can't kill with painkillers 🤕
