Guys will read this and say hell yeah

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

And also set-up SSO/LDAP in your homelab if you run one so you don’t have 3000 loose outdated account entries for IPs like 192.168.10.5 user: admin password:*****

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

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.

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.

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

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.

(I’m on New Game++++ now)

At this rate I’ll be having a Lemmy user superiority complex in no time

The first quote block refers to what is mentioned in the OP article, and the 2nd is an exaggerated summary of the parent comment.

My issue is that the parent comment is taking imo a lenient stance towards something vile happening

hey guys yeah it really depends on the job, sometimes you just gotta be in the office heh
