At least their website’s redesign puts more focus on firefox.

I agree. It was fire.

On some revolut (finance app, popular in ireland) cards the magenetic strip is disabled by default.

idk, in linux its just adding a line to my bashrc or running a command, but on windows its opening settings, going into a specific page, pressing the advanced button, pressing the next advanced button and then choosing edit system environment variables.

I’do go with c. Sent a link to us when you start!

Is it new money or money that already existed? If it already existed, burn it.

Setting environment variables in windows annoys me irrationally.

I checked, and it doesn’t.

i didn’t need to read that, but yes!

I’m trying to send a post request to Pastebins api to make a paste. This is one of the first programs I have tried to write with libcurl, so its probably wrong.

I have written code before. I just started with C recently. I am expecting it to do literally anything at this point, but for some reason whenever I use the libcurl library literally nothing happens that i can observe.

That works perfectly

    Hello world

I more meant by the wires.

Its not working unfortunatly.

I would rather not think about that one. Seems a lot less romantic

Ah, right.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

struct MemoryStruct {
    char *memory;
    size_t size;
};

size_t WriteMemoryCallback(void *contents, size_t size, size_t nmemb, struct MemoryStruct *userp) {
    size_t realsize = size * nmemb;
    userp->memory = realloc(userp->memory, userp->size + realsize + 1);
    if(userp->memory == NULL) {
        return 0;
    }
    memcpy(&(userp->memory[userp->size]), contents, realsize);
    userp->size += realsize;
    userp->memory[userp->size] = 0;
    return realsize;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    CURLcode ret;
    CURL *hnd;
    struct MemoryStruct chunk;

    chunk.memory = malloc(1);
    chunk.size = 0;

    hnd = curl_easy_init();
    if(hnd) {
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 102400L);
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_URL, "https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php");
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 1L);
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "api_dev_key=API_KEY_HERE&api_paste_code=test&api_option=paste");
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)81);
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "curl/8.9.1");
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 50L);
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP, 1L);
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1L);
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, WriteMemoryCallback);
        curl_easy_setopt(hnd, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, (void *)&chunk);

        ret = curl_easy_perform(hnd);

        if(ret != CURLE_OK) {
            fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(ret));
        } else {
            printf("%s\n", chunk.memory);
        }

        curl_easy_cleanup(hnd);
        free(chunk.memory);
    } else {
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize CURL\n");
    }

    return (int)ret;
}

Finished it, i think. Still does “nothing”

edit: probably shouldn’t include my api key with it.

You’re right, but it doesn’t do anything, no matter what the code is, so I assumed that I needn’t include it. Kinda stupid of me. In any case, here it is:

Another piece of code i tried was:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

int main(void) {
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;


    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT);
    curl = curl_easy_init();

    if(curl) {
       
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:5000/a");

     
        const char *data = "hello!";
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, data);


        res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

     
        if(res != CURLE_OK) {
            fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
        }

  
        curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    }

  
    curl_global_cleanup();

    return 0;
}

compiled it with gcc test.c -o test.exe -IC:\Users\MY_USERNAME\scoop\apps\curl\current\include -LC:\Users\MY_USERNAME\scoop\apps\curl\current\lib -lcurl but you can replace the paths with wherever the libcurl include directory is (i hope).

Username checks out.

IIRC, its because there is a vulnerability in some websites at https://example.com/mx so, since distrowatch has mx linux at https://distrowatch.com/mx a lot of bots will try to go to there and push its ratings up accidentally.
