Why use Debían when you can use Rocky or Alma?

Why not using Processing?

Re:Teaching Kids Forth on Monday July 27, 2026 @04:46PM (#49075303)

Yes, of course. I just wanted to say that I think these tools are very suitable for teaching programming to beginners in a very short time and with excellent feedback. There's no need to go to the margins.

Re:Teaching Kids Forth on Sunday July 26, 2026 @07:17PM (#49063332)

Why not Processing or P5.js?

Exactly. Why losing the time with Minecraft when there's Luanti, a free community-driven project?

Well, you can block everything using a wildcard blocking rule (for that, go to "Filters → DNS blocklists" and add this custom rule: ||*^ ) and then you can allow the domain (and subdomains, if needed, for instance "everything.ycombinator.com"; for that, go to "Filters → Allowlist" and add this: @@||ycombinator.com^ )

Re:How are messages sent through WhatsApp/Telegram web? on Thursday January 18, 2024 @05:32AM (#39040158)

Oh, yeah, of course! I didn't realized! Thanks!

I've finally managed to be able to see them in browser's developer tools, but now I see that their payload is shown encrypted. Well...that's another problem, though: I'll keep investigating.

Thanks again!

How are messages sent through WhatsApp/Telegram web?

Posted by q2dg on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @05:36PM
from the self-post dept.

I'm trying to understand how requests and responses are sent inside a Whatsapp/Telegram web text chat.My first idea has been inspect HTTPS requests/responses with "Network" tab from Firefox/Chrome Developers Tools, expecting to see some POST data but...for my surprise, when sending some text in Whatsapp/Telegram web to another person, there's no HTTPS request shown.NoneWhat's going on? Thanks!
