Re: NSIS plugin example


Whoa, now that is cool. Thanks for sharing!


My pleasure. Happy to contribute. In fact so happy that it took me less than 10 minutes from testing it to posting it. ;)

If you want to compete with the sizes of other NSIS-plugins, try a version <4 or PureBasic and you should get a really small DLL ...

NSIS plugin example

Noticed that there's a "half-done" example to be found in the forum (thanks for the jumpstart, sepp!) so I tinkered a little and managed to accomplish this to fully support the return values as well in NSIS:
; Minimal PureBasic NSIS plugin for stack handling test
; In this example compiled with ...

PlayMovie() from console?

Been trying to figure this one out for a bit. Considering that we use libvlc for PlayMovie() on Linux as far as I understood now, could we then somehow play movies without X server, or do we still have to depend on X server for this functionality? I'm planning on buying a few Pi Zero 2 W and running ...

Re: Basic Authentication from FastCGI

Just wanted to give an update on this.
The trick is simply to verify the auth from the same place that you send the 401. If an auth has been entered, the "Authorization"-header is passed on. There might be some conditions, and therefor I'm writing down my settings here.

In the server section inside ...

Basic Authentication from FastCGI

So today I was doing a bit of custom code for a project and needed a way to authenticate less sensitive parts of a reverse proxy using only nginx and PB. I found the subrequest stuff quite interesting and got a bit curious if I could trigger the HTTP Basic Authentication features in the browser ...

Re: Pres3D source

infratec: You're the best. You probably also just saved me a couple of hours, approximately 3 keyboards and possibly a monitor (depending on frustration/rage if I'd have tried to do it myself).
Edit: Worked like a charm to compile. Just had to remember to switch to x86 due to the inline asm ...

Re: PureBasic Interface to OpenCV

Exceptional doesn't even begin to cover it. I had no hopes at all for this when I stumbled upon it.

My lack of experience does however make it a bit hard to use. I would really love to see ready to use functions for example locating faces using all those different methods (Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces ...

Re: broken c port of Ec25519 key exchange

This might actually solve all of my current problems. Using the code above, especially since Danilo made it insanely fast, combined with the code demivec completed (http://www.forums.purebasic.com/english/viewtopic.php?p=253838#p253838) it should be possible to implement ECDSA (http://en.wikipedia ...

If I had ovaries you would be the future father of my children. Safe key exchange - check. Safe DSA in pure PB - maybe soon. :)

Re: broken c port of Ec25519 key exchange

Danilo, Peter H said he fixed it.

I had tried to redo the code via structures so it was identical to the c code but it didn't work!
If you can take peter's code and make that work without the peeks and pokes that would be great.
I tried and failed!

I second that. I'd be very grateful for a ...

Re: broken c port of Ec25519 key exchange

Insanely hard to do without PB but finally I'm sure where the problem is and I sent it to a friend who verified it to be working. Unfortunately it cannot be used to securely sign stuff for validation, so I'm still waiting for a working (in acceptable speed) 2048+ bit RSA before buying PB. Enjoy the ...

Re: Bignum library - a must

@PeterH:

If you only need a code for memory arithmetic (add, multiply, divide ... by unlimited memory blocks, binary without conversion to decimal system) then I can give you an include (based on ASM) of me. (PN me)
For example:

Re: Bignum library - a must

jack: I would prefer not using an external library just so that it could be compiled for other operating systems as well in the future. If inlineasm, then at least it'll compile on operating systems of the same architecture. Built-in commands will just be way easier, but possibly not fast enough for ...
