What if a uuid is generated every time a user signs up, and every upvote iterates through the uuids?

happy cake day, ill take a look at it. Thanks!

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.

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:

  ret = curl_easy_perform(hnd);

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).

Not the guy, but the message content is encrypted, and cannot be seen. Metadata about the message is visible, like when you sent it and who you messaged. They're being a bit extreme, everyone uses whatsapp where i live.

Shit. I still have 21 days. I had some scripts made with the api that i'm going to have to remake now.

He's more of a fan of nostr, given how he is a crypto bro, that tracks.

My twitter account is just a link to my mastodon profile, with a script that posts a link to it every week or so to stop it getting banned for inactivity.

Do you have a link?
