Fair enough! I haven't got an Android device to try it on, and the iOS one is still mostly reskinned Safari with some Firefox tweaks.
For anyone else reading, going to about:memory shows you options to garbage-collect memory, and see where it all goes. Maybe this works on Android as well?
Speaking of Android and memory, I wonder if add-ons like Auto Tab Discard would help declutter a significant amount.
They probably haven't fixed their massive memory leak that has me restarting FF multiple times a day with any heavy use
What bletcherous, stone-age version are you using? I've had it open constantly for ages at a time, on Linux and Mac anyway, with no issues. (Could also be something in add-ons, or you're just trolling)
Were the 637,000 people victims of a breach before the law firm had their data, or as a result?
How long does that 48 liters keep? I could easily see it taking me a month or longer to go through that much beer at home. I worry that it'd go off, even in a CO2-pressurized keg.
The main things affecting beer's longevity are oxygen and sunlight. So... ages and ages in a keg I would think.
It will get banned for sign ups anyway. Anything that lets you create disposable addresses gets banned for signing up to stuff.
The spammers know how to strip the +spam thing from Gmail too.
The same thing can work for other domains though, if you run your own mail server. I use '_' as the separator in mine, works great.
NAT is the crappiest excuse for a firewall, but is still better than everything wide-open.
If UPnP were to not exist, then yes, the vulnerabilities would still be there, but there would be fewer people affected.
Defaults matter - having the feature present and even recommended to end users means that they just go, "I'll tick this box to make things work." And work, they do, even if they don't know why.
Without UPnP or similar, it's harder to click one box that makes all sorts of things easily accessible from the outside. If risk = impact x likelihood, then the overall risk (to everyone) is still lower, because the likelihood is too. Yes, the impact would be the same, for the remaining people it affected.
Those reasons (1-3) are precisely the controls that should be the case, albeit not something many people would want to assume is actually in place.
Without transparency though, it really is hard to trust anything.
Yeah, have in some ISP routers lying around here, and a consumer Western Digital net-backup device in my closet. That last one runs a flavour of Debian, which is also not supporting MIPS now. (Nor have I ever had patches from WD either, come to think of it.)
Yeah, I've got some Reolink Argus 2 cameras, with added solar panels. These do not do simple file transfer like FTP (or SFTP), but are local storage and cloud only.
The Reolink cloud has a free tier though, one camera, one week data retention. I use that for my driveway camera, figuring that I'll have something if someone tries to steal the camera with the only storage.
Battery life depends on how often the camera wakes up, and what kind of solar exposure you can get. I'm at 50N latitude, with cloudy winters and trees across the street. As such, I have had to go out and bring the battery in to recharge the odd time in the winter.
Also, being optimized for battery use means that instead of triggering on any camera motion all the time, it's using a passive infrared sensor. That way it's not necessarily recording street traffic that doesn't get that close, but anyone coming down the driveway will set it off.
I do now have a use for scroll lock. I use a KVM switch, where hitting scroll lock twice followed by a number switches which device the keyboard, mouse and external monitor are connected to.
I've never used it so much!
(Oh, and my external keyboard, and ThinkPad keyboard both have "Enter" printed on both buttons. Haven't checked to see what key-code is emitted.
One (potential) problem with Cinnamon, unlike MATE, is that you can't replace the window manager portion if so inclined.
I happen to like i3, and it works fine with MATE or KDE, so I can have a mostly-tiling interface with some of the other functionality. Cinnamon is all-or-nothing. I also found Cinnamon slow on older hardware, but it was a while ago when I last used it.
Many email servers support plus addressing. Mine does, as you can see above. If an address gets spam you know who is responsible. That saves a lot of trouble. Obviously that scheme can reasonably easily be ruined by smart spammers.
Yea but many websites don't support it. I've tried it in the past and about 50% of the time the form validation flags it as invalid (even though it obviously is valid).
It depends on the character used to separate the base and added parts of the email address.
I found that many sites (improperly) reject the '+' character that Google uses, so I configured Postfix for my own domain to use the underscore.
Nobody complains about name_spamsite@domain.
2FA prevents me from even bothering to install it.
If that's just your own data and systems that 2FA might protect, that's up to you. Maybe not brilliant, but your call.
In this case, it's Mozilla's decision to protect their infrastructure and users, and one dev deciding to not use 2FA could affect thousands of people.
So, if 2FA was all that stood in the way of a dev who can't be bothered, then your participation likely won't be missed, and it's a reasonable security decision.
I'm in BC, Canada, and pretty familiar with the program that is promoted here: https://firesmartbc.ca/wp-cont...
There are multiple facets to it, but it boils down to making a property, or at least the structures on it, defensible. It's not just a single item, though starting with the riskiest items first is going to help right away. Vegetation around the home is one aspect, and construction style and materials are important as well. (e.g., cedar shake roofs are pretty, but consist of kindling that catches and holds the burning embers.) The program focuses on an immediate priority zone around the house, then moving outward from there.
Blowing embers landing on decks and roofs are one part of it, but also things like fences attached to homes, where the ground fire catches the fence, and the fence just burns beside the rest of the structure until it catches too.
Sprinklers and the like can help, creating a bubble of humidity around the house. I've got a couple of these ( https://www.waspwildfire.com/p... ), mounted on the ends of the roof peaks. They use less water than a regular sprinkler, but spray a good ways out, and moisten the immediate area.
One of my fire department colleagues is also a pilot fighting fires in the summer. He's seen the effects of a fire smart program first-hand, where a fire sweeps an area, and certain places come out more or less intact.
It appears that PL/I (and its dialects) is, or will be, the most widely used higher level language for systems programming. -- J. Sammet
