    npm's recent provenance feature fixes this, and it's pretty easy to setup. It will seriously help prevent things like this from ever happening again, and I'm really glad that big p…

    We never really thought about documenting progress, so the photo of the email was taken from a phone camera of a teacher's computer (they had sent the email). We managed to find it…

    It was part of the homework, we had to watch a video and write down notes in a physical notebook. The notebook was never checked because they assumed that a video watched >=1x mean…

    It's always a game of cat and mouse... if a human can use a website then it's theoretically possible that a robot can too. I used to do a lot of sneaker botting a few years prior, …

    It's more for the SPA age of web apps, where we want to GET a resource from an API, but have a body in the request. For example fetching the user who is currently logged in and get…

    I wouldn't use this for Discord, as it requires you to insert a user token (aka self botting – which is against the terms of service). Bar that, the app looks quite promising, but …
