They may block IP addresses associated with consumer ISPs. Assuming that’s the case, I would guess you’re seeing that as an HSTS/TLS error because their network is trying to trick your browser into redirecting to/displaying an error page hosted by some part of their network.
It supports them already, there just aren’t any provided by default. They’re called Bookmark Keywords: https://github.com/jameshealyio/bang-bookmarks
I’d suggest not importing all of them from that list though, there’s a crap load, just pick the ones you want and put them in manually.
Meh. Now I’m a dyed in the wool Linux zealot, but this list is crap.
- Everything you need, nothing you don’t
Phoey, even the description for this point talks about how much Valve had to build to make the deck possible.
- Better performance, lighter overheads
Windows is a pretty bloated OS
Honestly don’t know enough about Windows to say anything on this one definitively. I still doubt it though…
- A hidden desktop experience
You never need to use it if you don’t want to
This has nothing to do with windows vs linux, Valve just did a good job on their ‘not-desktop’ side of things.
- Never worry about drivers
Do the windows consoles not come with drivers installed? Also, can you point out where I can download all the Linux drivers from Valve without exacting them from a full OS recovery image? (Actually kinda honestly asking on that last one. Or have they just upstreamed everything already?)
- Modify it to your heart’s content
Linux puts tools in your hands
This is a choice that Valve made. They absolutely could have given this thing secure boot that only lets you run official software with no hooks for mods. I was tangentially involved with doing exactly this for the SmartThings Hub V3, it’s not particularly hard.
You can only do that with Firefox Developer, can’t you? And IIRC, they self uninstall after a week or something, don’t they?
Oh, I’m confident(-ish) in my ability to review the code, but as I understand it I have no way to guarantee that the code that’s on github is the code that AMO installs. Plus updates are automatic, so I have no way to ensure that something malicious won’t be added anyway.
I keep thinking about installing this, but the required permissions seem a bit excessive:
This add-on needs to:
- Input data to the clipboard
- Access your data for all websites
Anyone know if the ‘All Access’ permission is really required for what this is doing? It just feels wrong. There isn’t some sort of “Control Navigation for These Domains” that it could request for each enabled site or something is there?
Eh, as someone who’s first software job was as an “Associate Software Enginner” while still in school (undergrad), I’m pretty sure I can say it’s not that cut and dry. I’ve actually never had a software job that didn’t use the “engineer” title. I’ve found “developer” and “engineer” are used interchangeably.
Is ublock a weird addon or something?
Yep. So far only a few officially blessed addons have been supported: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/4757633/7dfae8669acc4312a65e8ba5553036/
I think Mozilla was even going through and filling out the extension APIs on mobile based on what the extensions they wanted to support the most actually needed.
AFAIU, they’re now getting ready to open it up more broadly.
Ah, nice. I think that’s exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the suggestion!
Though, I think the git forge ‘backend’ + “Static CMS” frontend seems a bit more featureful and slick. I think I’m going to keep going down that path instead for now. Good to have a backup of exactly what I originally thought I wanted though.
Gotcha, I’m trying to find something that doesn’t require me to use a local editor. I want to give myself as smooth of an opportunity as possible to write small thoughts. That’s my current setup and even that little bit of friction seems to keep me from writing. (Or that’s my current excuse anyway…)
Nifty. At first blush just making a static clone of a dynamic site doesn’t feel as elegant as using a code forge editor, but I’ll keep that idea in mind if I find the editing experience (images and whatnot) to be too clunky with the gitea suggestion.
I’d personally like to not depend on infra like github, but I hadn’t considered just using the web UI of a code forge. That’s a good idea, I’m going to try that and see if I like it, thanks!
(Still interested in other suggestions if others know of things that are more fit for purpose, tho.)
Do you just use the gitea web editor for that? (I assume it has one right?) Does it provide a nice markdown-aware editor?
I think you found an extra factor of a thousand somewhere along the way. I get 497 cubic meters: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=(0.0043+inches+*+2.61+inches+*+6.14+inches)+*+(44+billion+%2F+100)
I’m on it and have been for some years. Not a large contributor by any means, but I find it interesting enough to fairly consistently read. It’s a community that’s definitely got some quirks, but it has managed to stay broadly technical and not become a swamp of memes and snappy comebacks, which is sadly impressive these days.
I’m curious if that’s actually true. Refusing to let them specifically buy it, because RH knows they want to re-distribute it, is almost like an implicit extra condition that customers aren’t allowed to re-distribute, which is explicitly a violation of the terms of the GPL. Though, of course leaving that term unstated would make it hard to prove.
Obligatory IANAL, but I think they can’t really make it closed source, because it’s a whole bunch of code they don’t own the copyright to that’s under the GPL.
For Red Hat customers and partners, source code will remain available via the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Which I think means the Rocky people would just need someone who is a RH customer to share the source with them or pay for a license themselves. The GPL really only requires you to make the source available to your customers, not necessarily publicly available to anyone, but it still explicitly allows any of their customers to redistribute it freely.
Though, maybe I’m not fully correct on that, because that would mean that this basically accomplishes nothing besides making RH/IBM look bad.
Yep. You just need to search that exact example (or just the URL) and it should pop up a little link where you can view that community from your local instance, which’ll have a subscribe button.
You might have tried it while kbin.social’s federation was broken from being behind cloudflare for awhile.
