Who's going to develop security and feature updates for it? The Librewolf devs certainly won't have the man power.

It's just a patch on top of Firefox.

I just wish it had normal top bar tabs (or maybe it does and I haven't found the option), because I love the overall style, but vertical tabs take up too much space after widening the side bar enough to see the tab names easily.

Maybe Intel AMT running? I'm not sure it can be disabled though.

It's just WIN + Spacebar, or click the keyboard layout icon in the taskbar.

More options is good.

By default it should be configured to allow all outgoing, and block all incoming. That's perfectly fine for a desktop/laptop and you don't need to mess with it.

You can't really do that much outgoing filtering with a firewall that will be useful, because basically everything operates on port 80/443, and often connects to the same CDNs or datacenter IPs for multiple services.

Instead DNS blocking is a much more effective way to handle it, plus uBlock Origin in your browser.

It's crazy to me that all these websites advertise pirated/stolen Microsoft keys and aren't getting in trouble for it.

I've never been able to get this one to work, it will say it can't detect speech even though I can hear it being played.

It's so much worse than WP though.

Many people use laptops and use other wifi networks or tether to their phone, both can expose you because of unknown firewall states or IPv6 being used.

There really isn't one that's a true alternative to WP.

There are plenty of nice static site generators, but those are significantly harder to use and not just drag and drop, they also don't have the huge plugin marketplace that WP does.

Everyone loves to complain about WP (rightfully so in some cases, it has its own problems), but will suggest alternatives that are nothing like it.

(Edit: Though that may not actually work considering this is apparently fully server side. Gonna have to get clever…)

Next step is machine learning to recognize ads and cut them out automatically hah.

Doesn't the play store have their "Play Protect" thing they're always shoving in my face? Why didn't that pick this up before 11 million people installed the app?

The amount of articles and discussion assuming these devices were hacked is insane.

They weren't hacked, they were physically opened up and had explosives placed inside.

Really every AV software is spyware for whatever country it operates in. Just depends on who you'd rather have your data.

Migrate PWs to bitwarden first.

Then you can use Firefox Sync if you want to sync data between the browsers.

Or just do a one-time bookmarks export and import if you don't want to use sync.

Firefox lets you make shortcuts that appear on your new tab (home) page in the browser, that might be a good option since they'll open in the browser and not as a PWA.

Can't wait for the onlyfans accounts that spam the same vanilla nsfw image into 50 different communities at once. /s

Something else is going on with your setup, I block graph.facebook.com via DNS too and Ally works fine, both app and browser.

Your screenshot looks like you're also blocking ntp.org which could definitely screw with a banking app, and launchdarkly.com may also be the problem if they're loading assets from that service.

ispot.tv is on one of my DNS blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?

Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.

Their advertising claims still do get a bit ridiculous though.

With federation between different Matrix servers, what’s the holdup? Why aren’t people leaving Discord?

Poor usability, confusing to get started on, your instance may just vanish at some point, annoying encryption system you have to verify new devices on, feels slow on both browser and in app, lack of features (ie; no low latency game streaming, rich presence, easily joinable voice rooms).

It also shares the same issue as Mastodon, where if your instance vanishes you can't just log in with your account on another one and have everything ready to go, because the account is tied specifically to that original instance.

Overall as a fairly techy type user I still find Matrix, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc all pretty frustrating to use.

A lot of live images will run entirely from RAM, flash drives are typically quit slow so it makes the experience much nicer.

Wait, isn't a lower frame time better? Why does their screenshot show windows having the lowest and say that it scored last?

Looking at the source article, windows did have generally better 1% lows except for Starfield, so I think this article has it backwards. They also cherry picked 2 results where windows was worse lol.

I'm all for pro-linux stuff but articles like this just reek of making shit up so it looks better.

It just works and it's in every distros default repo, it's pretty easy to set up and can be a webserver for static files, PHP sites, etc.. It can be a reverse proxy for HTTP(s) traffic or just forward TCP/UDP.

There's also endless documentation out there for how to do something in nginx.

HAProxy is a nightmare to use in my experience. It just feels so clunky and old.

Caddy is nice, but downloading and updating it is a pain because you need modules that aren't included in the repo version.

Self hosting personal photos doesn't generally require opening anything up to the internet, so most backdoors would not be accessible by anyone but you.

IMO GUIs are always faster when it's something you've never used before, or use very infrequently.

CLI is better if you're used to the task you're doing, or automating things. But for infrequent tasks looking up the commands (or looking at old notes to find it) is very slow and rather annoying.

One reason may be that they're not actually off when the ignition is off, they're just asleep like your phone is when the screen is off but it's still powered on.

It's sounds like it could be an IO wait issue, system load will climb a ton without showing much CPU usage.

Make sure you're not running out of RAM and going into swap space, it doesn't sound like it though.

iotop might show something useful. And in htop you can add the 'PERCENT_IO_DELAY" column which can be useful.

I feel like that's gotta be pretty normal for hyped up product launches, a lot of people just join to see what it is at first.

I'm not picking up any new Google products, they kill everything off so often.

Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn't have any concept of users since it's not designed for that.

You want Nextcloud or similar 'google drive' replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.

They're also useful because they're easy to deploy, contain all the dependencies needed, portable, and isolate things breaking from affecting the host or other containers.

I imagine the overlap of people who use Snapchat and people who use Firefox is pretty small, they probably see such a small amount of users with Firefox and they just decided not to support it.

A Pi 5 8GB is very expensive once you buy the power supply, case, cooling, adapters, etc.. And you're stuck with ARM64 stuff which doesn't support some things.

Personally in your shoes I would spend $80 or so on a USFF PC with an 8th or 9th gen Intel CPU off ebay.

Once it’s installed in the terminal, how the hell do I find docker so I can start playing with it?

Type docker in the terminal, it's a CLI application.

But it sounds like you might want to install Docker Desktop, which does give you a GUI to use.

For some reason windows will update their own app from their own app store, and then immediately apply another update when you open the app.

Their whole system is so hacked together.

No need, vectors can be scaled already without quality loss.

I'm always conflicted on this kind of thing, because for every person annoyed that it's asking there's a bunch that are complaining that they lost all their photos because their phone was stolen or something like that, and had no idea that they need to backup their stuff.

For some reason devs can't wrap their head around cache being temporary.
