Man I hate how I barely ever buy anything, makes it impossible to boycott any company

The generated password lenghts can be set in the UI at least. It's worse when the password form accepts only SOME special symbols (looking at you bank)

Did you see the new ff vertical tabs in nightly firefox labs?

Apart from what everyone already posted:

• Boring RSS - displays an rss icon in address bar with the rss feeds from the current page's head tag - the cool thing is that unlike other addons like this, this one has only the activeTab permission, rather than "access your data for all sites" - https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/boring-rss

• uBlacklist - hides some pages from search engine search results (I use it to hide reddit) - https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist

• Tridactyl - like Surfingkeys, Vimium etc. - more vimlike experience for Firefox - you can also optionally install a native extension to run shell commands in the os from within ff (yeah dangerous): https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

Remote work is a lie made up by big white collar to sell less jeans for mining

And also set-up SSO/LDAP in your homelab if you run one so you don't have 3000 loose outdated account entries for IPs like 192.168.10.5 user: admin password:*****

UPDATE: Turned out that the culprit of the downtime was my switch - the D-Link DGS-1210-10P rev. B1.

The way the management web interface of the switch works is pretty unintuitive. Namely, if you change some settings in the web interface and hit save in one of the sections, the settings are saved in the volatile memory of the switch. This basically means that the settings are only saved in RAM, which is cleared on power loss. To save the settings into non-volatile memory which persists on reboots, you need to find the "Save" section at the top of the UI. This is described here: https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/20158/dlink-switch-loses-configuration-on-power-off

So basically, my problem was that the settings weren't commied to nonvolatile memory and on a short 1 minute power loss the switch restarted.

I got an UPS anyway now, SMT750RMI2U

As for backup, you can also buy a e.g. Lenovo M920q minipc, buy a pci-e riser, buy a dual port ethernet card, set up Proxmox, set up an pfSense (or OpenWRT, or OPNsense) VM inside, pass-through the ethernet card directly to the VM. The VM is very backupable, since you just copy the VM state and save it somewhere. This would only work for the router though, since the AP's that'd be running OpenWRT wouldn't be VMs. This is at the cost of having to deal with an additional layer for the VMs.

I guess the problem you're asking about in regards in regards to cross-device portability of a backed up config is valid. If you had a four ETH port router, backed up the config, and then uploaded it on a two ETH port router, you'd run into trouble, but I have no experience here.

You can also install OpenWrt on some switches these days (PoE also reportedly works with realtek-poe module):

• https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-rtl838x-based-managed-switches/57875/
• https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_standard_all?dataflt[Device+Type*~]=Switch

That way you'd have a fully open OpenWRT-only network lab, so you'd always be working with the same system.

It's not exactly those dimensions, but check out Osprey Daylite Tote Pack. I read some airline summary and the OP said it fits every single one, even the more restrictive ones

This comic strip will keep on giving, you can keep remaking it every 20 years

you're doing your part in keeping the federation healthy and decentralized o7

My god does anybody else downvote an article if it's blatant clickbait? How does it have 520 score? You were supposed to be better than r**dit remember?

This is true. I spent 4 months abroad recently and on the 4 month mark I started getting text messages from my operator saying "In the last 4 months you spent more time abroad than in your home country. If your usage doesn't change, we will begin billing you X.Y/GB"

In Germany's defense, if you miss a train connection due to delays, you just board the next connection without needing to have your ticket re-issued for another connection, which is cool.

But the joke is real, I was coming back from Spain to Poland by train recently and everything was fine, until my VERY FIRST STATION IN GERMANY where I got my first delay.

Yeah, but it also happens to be a significant instance with many big communities. It'd be ok if it was hosting only leftist comunities that talk only about ".M-L" stuff, but then you end up with communities like privacy@lemmy.ml where the rules seem to be:

1. Talk only about privacy related things
2. (implied) Don't criticize Xi Jingping (I'm exeggerating for comedic effect)

Best search meta is "searchterm -reddit +forum" anyway

Seconded. When walking around my 60s neighbourhood in Poland I can clearly see that someone sat down and planned how the neighbourhood is going to look, i.e. where there will be a store, where a kindergarten and where a school. Not to mention a huge swath of lawn with playgrounds in the middle of the buildings for the ultimate flex.

Opposite of "ok we'll sell the land and the free market will figure it out".

Orgzly Revived on Android, if you're into emacs org mode. Can sync over git, webdav and dropbox. Probably syncthing too. Samba over Android file protocol with Material Design sadly doesn't work.

On PC just edit the same org mode notes as in Orgzly, but with Emacs.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks!

bank puts debt on people

instead of people repaying it, the govt pays the debt

I get that it's only for public servants etc. and after 10 years, but is this not just a state subsidized money funnel to the bank? Shouldn't the root cause of the unrepayable debt be resolved instead of this?

Ten bot po prostu strzela do strony oko.press i parsuje HTML, i tworzy post na Mastodonie na bazie tego. Można do odtworzyć we własnym czytniku RSS (z pominięciem bota), tylko trzeba napisać parę zapytań w XPath (robilem kiedyś dla prezydent.pl np.)

Wasn't there a new generation vaccine for it released this yesr? Wouñd you say that it's helping?

Men retire 5 years later than women there as well.

My god maybe that "open source games" lemmy community got one thing right

It's just a joke how e.g. tf2 players beg a megacorp to fix their game every year now. I like tf2 but the power dynamic between the publisher and the player is crazy

You can also create an account and just leave a note on the map (a message that other contributors to OSM see) mentioning your observations. It's a good option if editing the map is too overwhelming with all the different tags and how routing algorihms interpret them.

Alternatively, by classifying themselves as remote, workers agree they can no longer be promoted or hired into new roles within the company.

what starts with 'il' and ends with 'legal'?

During my vegan phase I was counting calories with Cronometer - if you eat unprocessed foods you can count calories using data from food-related institutions. Because of that, the protein data is detailed and is split into the individual amino-acids rather than just saying "you ate 100g of protein today". At the end of the day, my panel was all green (meaning 100% RDA) apart from lysine which was lower. I don't see where my diet was lacking anything crucial protein-wise that necessitates eggs. I can get the micronutrient argument with B12 and dietary cholesterol, but protein?

The thread poster ridicules "da beans" but is infact "muh eggs" themselves. And I have drawn myself as Chad and them as Wojak to prove it

My god finally the pain of getting the "me too on macos snow leopard" emails from the issue tracker is over

You probably missed the /s but for the people wondering what the map means I think it's a ferry from Stockholm to Turku

Helsinki-Tallinn is the proposed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki–Tallinn_Tunnel, which is currently a ferry (?)

I am fighting the train travel jihad, I take the train even if it's more expensive and takes way longer.

This is not about the smart tv tizen, no? I see the article talks about smartwatches. The naming on Samsung's side is confusing.

FWIW I recently stopped using the extension due to large resource usage - especially painful if you have many tabs open and FF opens many processes for each container tab, eating up more RAM. I just use FF Nightly for personal stuff and regular FF for work.

For context, the part where they talk about AI:

We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox -- which many, many of you have been asking about -- in the same way. We’re focused on giving you AI features that solve tangible problems, respect your privacy, and give you real choice.

We’re looking at how we can use local, on-device AI models -- i.e., more private -- to enhance your browsing experience further. One feature we’re starting with next quarter is AI-generated alt-text for images inserted into PDFs, which makes it more accessible to visually impaired users and people with learning disabilities.

I mean, this is not "slapping an LLM on top of the software and calling it AI", it's integrating it into the browser in usable ways.

One usage of a local model is the local translation feature which was ... kinda nice? Not having to go online to translate? Pretty cool right?

This is similar here with the alt text, seems like a force for good?

Feels like they're fulfilling what they said in the first paragraph of the quote.

For one soon HMD/Nokia will come out with a new Nokia 3310 as the first dumbphone with 5G

Mumble is super popular with EVE Online players still, no? Because of the support for a large number of users in a single room
