Just a lvl 27 guy from 🇫🇮 Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

  • I see your point but I still wouldn’t call OBPs any more dangerous among kinky activities and the risks you mention can and should mitigated with standard BDSM safety measures. Also, it’s not clear from this picture, but usually the top part which actually gets inserted into the sub is a dildo or something else with a fair bit of flex to it, of course it’s not just solid metal pike.




  • That’s reassuring to know. What I don’t understand is why you have the /api/v3/post/like/list route. You say you don’t want votes to be snooped on, but then you add an endpoint that makes it very easy for instance admins to do exactly that if they choose to? Also worth pointing out that the tool linked here wouldn’t work in its current form if this route didn’t exist.


  • Compare your actions to releasing a 0-day exploit for a security vulnerability instead of responsibly disclosing. It doesn’t help, it just causes chaos until the people who do the actual work can figure out a solution.

    This comparison is not fair at all. It’s not like the devs are unaware of this. They could start by removing the API endpoint that lists a post’s votes, but they haven’t, which means they seem to think it’s okay for the instance admins to snoop on votes if they so wish.


  • For me, this post seems to have the NSFW tag. In a recent update to Lemmy, the devs removed the NSFW checkbox from the interface when posting to a community that is marked as an NSFW community. I guess the idea is that posts to such communities should automatically be marked as NSFW, but this doesn’t seem to always work correctly. The confusion is worsened by the fact that in many Lemmy apps (such as Voyager, which I use) the checkbox is still there even when posting to an NSFW community.

    But AFAIK, even non-NSFW posts from NSFW communities have always been treated as NSFW by Lemmy.














  • Seems to be a CORS issue. A GET request to https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/2254acd7-9ce1-4b07-b334-15631f2847e2.png is correctly responded to with a single Allow-Origin header:

    Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
    

    However, the problem occurs when a browser makes that request. It adds an Origin header (For example, Origin: https://aeharding.github.io/ in this case), and then the server responds with two Allow-Origin headers, which is invalid:

    access-control-allow-origin: https://aeharding.github.io/
    Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
    

    (Note the different capitalization.)

    Ignoring that, it also seems that the server does not support the Range header. Requesting the same image with the header:

    Range: bytes=0-1
    

    returns the full image instead of the requested partial content. This effectively means that while video/audio files hosted on this instance will play, features like fast forwarding won’t work properly. This is something @[email protected] will probably want to take a look at some point.





  • Drawing. And maybe some calligraphy. I take shifts at the local cafeteria during summers and we have a markerboard thingy outside to display our opening hours, daily special discounts and whatnot. I’ve seen others write on it with beautiful lettering and then decorating it with cool doodles. I tried it once and let’s just say it didn’t turn out well…
