    Firefox with uBlock Origin slow on some sites

    I'm using Firefox with uBlock Origin on both android and windows. I'm finding more and more sites that are very slow to load, or won't load at all. Yet when I open them in Chrome they work fine. I'm assuming the sites are just failing because of the privacy protection features of ff+ubo, and I'm happy enough to just avoid these shitty sites in general. But - I'm just checking to see - is this expected behaviour, might I have configuration issues?

    It's only an interruption if you're already busy and productive. This method helped me when I was going through a particularly bad period and couldn't get anything done. The end of the Pomodoro wasn't and interruption, but a goal that I was relieved to reach.

    Once an end-to-end, encrypted, connection is established between a pair of peers then anything can be sent through it. The establishment proces is generally facilitated by a server of some description so neither peer needs to allow inbound connections. (I'm a long, long way from being an expert on this and happy to be corrected - but this seems like network fundamentals?)

    This makes me so angry. I have a nice Sony TV that I paid a lot (for me) of money for in 2021. Since I bought it they've been sneeking in more and more ads - when I bought was just when they started with the viewing "recommendations" (even though the things they recommend were often on services I didn't subscribe to), then some of the recommendations started to be for Kia cars etc. and now just last week we got a fucking full screen, with volume, ad for a McFlurry when we turned it on!

    I'll be pulling my old NVIDIA shield out soon. I'm hoping there is an ad free android tv I can flash onto it and put the TV permanently on HDMI 1.

    It has no bridge mode. It has a DMZ function, but it is not reliable. I just use it as a router and dhcp server. I use my own access points for wifi. Unless I use a VPN they can see all my traffic anyway so I'm not really losing any privacy by using their router.

    This argument goes around and around every time someone says ACAB. There is a culture of protecting your own in police forces - it seems to happen all around the world. This culture causes otherwise good cops to overlook actions of their peers that shouldn't be overlooked. If you let someone get away with something illegal, when your job is to uphold the law, then you are not doing your job and are really not a good cop after all - you're just as bad as your peers. ACAB is a much simpler way of saying all that.

    Looking for thoughts/opinions I have a 5 disc raidz1 array. The volumes are accumulating CKSUM errors - fairly evenly distributed over the discs. I've been lazy and let this progress to the point where there are permanent errors in files. ``` # zpool status -v pool: tank state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data corruption. Applications may be affected. action: Restore the file in question if possible. Otherwise restore the entire pool from backup. see: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/msg/ZFS-8000-8A scan: scrub repaired 748K in 06:17:19 with 1 errors on Sun Jul 14 06:41:22 2024 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM tank ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 ata-ST8000VN004-2M2101_WSD13YBW ONLINE 0 0 6 ata-ST8000VN004-2M2101_WSD13YE4 ONLINE 0 0 7 ata-ST8000VN004-2M2101_WSD1454G ONLINE 0 0 8 ata-ST8000VN004-2M2101_WSD1454W ONLINE 0 0 6 ata-ST8000VN004-2M2101_WSD14563 ONLINE 0 0 7 errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files: /you/do/not/need/this/level of detail.txt ``` I've done some research and believe (hope) that the cause of these errors is the "domestic" onboard SATA controllers I'm using and I have ordered a LSI SAS3008 9300-8i HBA as an upgrade. I know I can fix the permanent error by deleting and restoring it and then running a scrub. But, I'm torn - should I scrub now and risk stressing it more on the crappy SATA controllers, or wait until I get the new HBA (in a few weeks - free cheap, slow, shipping)?

    I tried to just downvote and ignore you, but I'll give you my perspective instead.

    Nature is cruel - lots and lots of animals survive by eating other animals. We are just animals that have evolved to, in most cases, be at the top of the food chain. As a species we have used our brains to abuse this position over the last several hundred years. Slowly (very slowly) we, as a species, are realising that this is wrong and are starting to use our brains to move away from animal consumption. I applaud those of you that have made a commitment to be the leading edge of this change, but I'm not there.

    There was an unofficial option for rollback - I'm on Android so I went to apkmirror and downloaded the last good version and turned off auto update. This worked for a while, but then they forced me to update - it literally said I had to update to continue using. I've seen someone say this wasn't actually a forced update, but rather keeping all the parts of your network in sync. I have one Sonos device and my phone is the only things that connects to it??

    I'm in a similar situation - I'm a (retired) Unix admin and have Linux servers at home but I'm still on windows for my desktop because of OneDrive. If you use it as intended, it works really well. I can login to my laptop, my phone or either of my wife's PC's and all my stuff is just there.

    Yes, I've tried nextcloud and it's close, but the windows sync client is (was?) broken - the upload speed throttling logic is broken and it was going to take ages to sync my data. I went to the nextcloud community and it seemed to be a known issue that know one cares about because the sync just happens in the background and it's done when it's done.

    As I typed this I realised that if I move to Linux desktop I don't care about the windows sync client :-) So now I've just got the issue that I won't get my wife off windows and if we're paying for 5TB of cloud storage, I might as well use it. Yes, I know there are ways to use OneDrive on Linux, but it doesn't look as seamless and I'd be always concerned that Microsoft will do something to break it.

    Project idea for learning

    I'm a retired Unix sysadmin. Over the years I've built things in COBOL, FORTAN, C, perl, rexx, PHP, visual basic, various Unix shells and maybe others. Nothing has been a real "application" - mostly just utilities to help me get things done. Now that I'm retired, and it's cold outside, I'm curious to try some more coding - and I have an idea. The music communities here seem to post links to YouTube. I generally use Lemmy on my phone but don't use YouTube, or listen to music, on my phone if I can help it. I'd like to scrape a music community here and add the songs posted to a playlist in my musicbrainz account. Does that sound like a reasonable learner project? Any suggestions for language and libraries appreciated. My preferred IDE is vim on bash and I have a home server running Linux where this could run as a daemon, or be scheduled.

    Apache or nginx WebDAV with Nextcloud sync client?

    I'm trying out Nextcloud to use as on my home server. It looks great, but seems way overkill for just two users that really only want the file sync. capability. As I'm reading I'm seeing references to WebDAV and it seems that the Nextcloud file sync. server might be "just" a WebDAV server? If it is, might it be possible to point the Nextcloud sync. client (on Windows and Android) at an appropriately configured Apache or nginx server? The reason I'm asking here, rather than just trying for myself, is that I have no experience with WebDAV and have no idea what an appropriately configured server might mean in this situation. I'm happy to go do the required learning to make it work - just looking for someone to tell me it's not possible before I put too much effort into it.

    I'm a retired Unix admin. It was my job from the early '90s until the mid '10s. I've kept somewhat current ever since by running various machines at home. So far I've managed to avoid using Docker at home even though I have a decent understanding of how it works - I stopped being a sysadmin in the mid '10s, I still worked for a technology company and did plenty of "interesting" reading and training. It seems that more and more stuff that I want to run at home is being delivered as Docker-first and I have to really go out of my way to find a non-Docker install.

I know a single support call won't do anything (though I intend to be very persistent), but if enough people log formal complaints maybe Sony will "talk to" Google.
