Tool Others F95Checker [WillyJL]

[WillyJL]

I have verified verified it is working.

Tested in Apps
Firefox Extension - Proxy Container
Qbittorrent
FMD2
JDownloader 2

This is a NordVPN paid proxy server. I tried several of the other US proxies same error in this checker.

you still have not answered, is it authenticated? does it need username and password?

Be sure to include the version number. It really helps.

Your token has expired. I added code to handle this happening and refresh the token in latest beta. If you don't want to update you can just clear the rpdl token and log in again

not sure if this is a realistic request but would it be possible to get alerted when a thread has an update in its changelog?
for exemple a game thread has an update, f95checker will show the version naming changes and if I want more details, I'd press the button to see solely that game within f95checker only to see the changelog and the new version is not included in the changelog

it's a very situation element and since f95checker will not alert me about it, there will be no way to be notified if/when new text is added to the main post of the game thread until possibly a new version is out

i suppose detecting changelog changes clientside and showing them in the usual update popup would be viable, but the root problem remains unsolved.

there is no way to know if changelog has changed on f95zone without requesting the full thread from the forum. and the whole point of the cache api is *not* doing that, because that means DoSing f95zone. the cache api uses every single context clue available to know when new info is available, but there is no context clue for changelog changes. so if youre lucky: a review is added that changes the forum score and thus triggering cache invalidation which means all new data is fetched and so also a new changelog (or any other similar thing like a tag being added or game/dev name changing, as those can be detected without fetching the full thread), or worst case scenario: no externally noticeable change is made to the thread until the cache expires, which means the changelog could go undetected by the cache api for an entire week even if it was added already to f95zone.

i have no way of fixing the root problem with that unfortunately.

C++ is an awfully messy and overengineered language, if im going low level i want it to be dead simple too and i want my code to do what it says, C++ doesnt do those.

only things im missing out with using C instead of C++ are standard library extras, of which i would only use std::path, std::string and a few containers like std::vector and std::queue, but nothing that cant be done in C, C++ just comes with them built in; im already using cwalk and some extra handling of my own for paths, for strings vectors and queues there is M*LIB.

and, it didnt influence the decision but, yeah most of the libraries i use are in C: libcurl, glad, sdl3, sqlite3; the only one in C++ is imgui, and for that im using the official dcimgui auto-generated bindings by the imgui team so thats basically C too.

im sure it would make some more efficient and get the job done quicker, but i couldnt stand developing in C++ to save my life.

also, ive been using C for the past 2 and a half years now with flipper zero firmware development, but that didnt cause my hatred for C++, only the interest in C.

the only other option i wouldve maybe considered is rust, but ive never used rust and also i generally dont like "magic" in programming, everything about rust sounds like magic and "trust me bro".

fair enough, my preconcieved notion was c needs alot of boilerplate to achieve the same thing that was abstracted away in c++. But ive also heard others mirror your sentiment about how messy c++ is
i guess simple but slower beats faster but convoluted

looks like ill just try "vibecoding" w go and learning from what the ai spits out

i hear good things about go, sounds like a solid compromise. me, ill stick with simple and slow until ai takes my job (if ever, i dont believe it will happen ever)

and yeah C does need more boilerplate often, but much of that boilerplate is already written by others thankfully. M*LIB especially makes it a lot less painful for me.

Yes it's authenticated.. NordVPN requires an api login and that is what I am using.

BTW a simple feature request can you put a clear button at the end of the bottom filter it's a pain to have to select the text and delete manually all the time after using it.

Authenticated socks5 proxy is not supported in the integrated browser. It's explained in the hover tooltip for the proxy type option.

if you press escape it clears the bottom text bar.

why not just use a vpn? youre paying for nordvpn already, a proxy is just more hassle.

anyway, i guess it would make sense that opening with left click should open in the external browser directly without using the integrated browser first. however, this is only possible for masked links. masked links are saved as is since they require an account to unmask, so it can just be passed to the external browser. direct links are not saved as is, because the cache api is public with no authentication so they are not saved in it as it would allow them to be taken down instantly. instead, direct links are saved as a xpath identifier to locate the link on the forum page, meaning you still need to be logged in to retrieve them. and this is a special behavior of f95checker, cant just tell an external browser "open this page and execute this xpath selector to click on a certain link on the page", so direct links still need to be "retrieved"/resolved using the internal browser. if youd rather find the link on the page yourself with the external browser, just open the thread instead of clicking the download link.
as i said tho, ill fix the masked links to open in external browser directly if an external browser is selected.

I don't run VPN all the time as I really don't do much in illegal activity anymore.. out grew that at my age. I use Proxy to get around blocked adult sites like dlsite. Since most of the stuff I download is from here I have a 2GB connection and VPN kill my speed quite a bit. I got speed so I can download fast with a 2GB Fiber. I even stopped using NordVPN mostly for Japan sites as it was still having issues so I actually paid $4.95 for 90 days of an actual Japan Proxy and that is what I use now for browsing DLSite.

When NordVPN expires I am going to let it fade away and just purchase another Proxy for US activity. Cheaper and these don't tend to get blocked by sites when using a popular one such as NordVPN. If your interested in a proxy with great speed and not being overused than

Right-Click on the input bar and select Clear
OR
As WillyJL said, click the input bar and press Esc

Ran into an issue: I've created around 5 separate custom tabs, and for some reason each tab can no longer sort any category now. The program is just completely unresponsive.

Edit: Okay closing one of the tabs I was able to sort in the "New" tab once again, but still no luck on the custom tabs. Are new tabs locked from sorting capabilities?

Edit 2: At least for now, I find that it suits my needs better to make my custom tabs labels instead

what do you mean by unresponsive? sometimes the header bar to change sorting does not react to clicks and you need to click somewhere else inside the program for it to accept clicks again, but that doesnt make it "unresponsive". if it happens again, please send over a copy of your db.sqlite3 file in direct messages and describe the steps to get it unresponsive.

Ah...Okay disregard. I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had "Manual Sort" turned on, that basically locked my sorting ability. Once I deactivated it, it returned to normal.

Hi WillyJL - I don't know if it is mentioned here before (tried search but couldn't find anything), so sorry if it was already... but I just today updated my Windows 10 to 11 and now when I start your F95Checker I got "no" Taskbar Symbol anymore, just some strange "Standard"? Symbol - I upload an Image and marked your Tool in a red Square. Is this a known Win11 Problem or is there any fix for this?
TIA and greetings.

Edit:
I did add your Tool to the list of "Games"and after refreshing it, the "original" Task-Symbol was there - "but" - after closing it and start F95Checker again, the Symbol is gone again like shown above, even if I refresh/search for updates.
Really strange that it's not there all the Time after starting F95Checker.
I hope you can understand my explanation and know a solution for it.

Have you tried to unpin it from taskbar and pin it again? with a restart in between just to clear some of the cached junk, tho most likely will do nothing (the restart i mean).
My guess being win 11 might use a different path/method to show pinned taskbar items. That if you did upgrade from windows and it looks like so.

The F95Checker Program is not even pinned at the Taskbar, it goes away when closing it and then just shows up like in my Picture after starting it.
Edit:
And I have restarted Win11 multiple Times after switching to it as it still installed new Updates, so I guess that doesn't solve my problem too.
