Looks pretty neat.

Is there a way to have it run like a ram statistics monitor? I’d love to have this running in a terminal window to monitor my ram statistics.

I’m not going to defend Mozilla by any means, but if you care about privacy, you wouldn’t use a browser based on Chrome anyway.

You could replace “Brave Browser” with Firefox and the statement would still be true.

At least Firefox wasn’t caught hijacking affiliate links.

As someone with two kids who play games on the switch, physical carts keep me from having to buy every game two or three times.

So losing the ability to buy a game and share it between three switches will severely increase the costs of games for me.

Can confirm. It’s the only game I play at this point.

Finally got to Fulgora. I want that mech suit.

If you want to fully wipe the disks of any data to start with, you can use a tool like dd to zero the disks. First you need to figure out what your dive is enumerated as, then you wipe it like so:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

From there, you need to decide if you’re going to use them individually or as a pool.

I’m not disagreeing with anything you’ve said?

I’m saying that just adding Mozilla’s PPA to your sources won’t change apt’s behavior when installing Firefox unless you tell apt to prefer the package offered by the Mozilla PPA.

As someone who uses Kubuntu as a daily driver, I’m well aware of the snap drama and have worked around it using the method I pasted above.

Even though it’s an underhanded move by Cannonical, I’m still glad the OS is open source since it makes the workaround so trivial.

It takes a little more than just adding a different repository to your package manager, you have to tell apt which to prefer:

echo ’
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: firefox*
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: -1’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla

But that’s how dogwhistles work: they can hide behind a veil of plausible deniability.

And his refusal in the leadup to the 2020 election to denounce the Proud Boys.

“Stand Back and Stand By” isn’t the kind of thing you say to a group you want nothing at all to do with.

He also made ‘Linux vs Windows’ but got removed from that community, and the new mod removed all his posts or I’d post links to a discussion we had.

A user made a community called LinuxSucks.

Poe’s law being what it is, it can be hard to tell the difference between satire and someone actually drinking the kool-aid, but having talked to this person and been banned from his little fiefdom, he strikes me as the non-satirical kind of poster.

Trolls revel in the attention. They want the outrage that comes from interaction, and he’s locked down his community, disallowing anyone from posting anything at all last I checked.

He’s taken stances like “Open Source software is inherently bad for society because it takes jobs away from companies” and “the spyware companies like Microsoft build into Windows (IE Windows Recall or any other data aggregation system) are where things are going and you should be happy because you’re helping a company make money”.

I’d personally describe him as a Temporarily Embarrassed Billionaire trying to find a cock to deepthroat so he can join their ranks.

“Over the top” like what?

This is what I think is most likely as well. The capacity on the drive makes me think it’s a SSD and they can just spontaneously fail.

This is why you always need backups. It’s never a question of if, but rather when a drive will fail.

An inbound only DNS forwarding rule would be pointless. All DNS queries should be originating from within the network.

EDIT

I think I see what you’re getting at. Assuming that the firewall is running on the NAS vs on the router.

The OP doesn’t specify, but I would assume the firewall rule would be on the router, as that makes the most sense to force all DNS requests on the network to go through the pihole.

As someone who took the plunge years ago, you just have to accept that some programs will just be unusable. There are likely alternatives, though very few will be ‘drop in’ replacements so to speak. So there will be a learning curve.

It’s the price you pay to have full control of your system. As time goes on, it gets easier.

On one hand, I get it. You’re used to Windows and want to use an environment you’re used to and apps you’re comfortable with.

On the other, you need to be aware that you’re going to be constantly fighting an uphill battle. Microsoft doesn’t care that you don’t want those programs using resources, they’re going to install them because it’s in the best interest of their shareholders. The programs might be able to be removed using third party tools, but then you’re relying on random tools found on the internet to remove bits of your operating system without hurting anything or doing anything malicious.

The data these programs gather is more valuable to Microsoft than the blowback because this is the exact stance people will take: sure it sucks that this is being forced upon me, but it’s still better than leaving. So I’ll either deal with it (99% if users are here) or ill find a random program and cross my fingers it does only what’s on the label.

The only solution I see is to swap to something else, causing Microsoft to lose market share and thereby convincing shareholders not to force this on users.

The choice is yours.

I agree.

So the solution, OP, is to set the DNS settings on your NAS to your router’s internal IP so the firewall can redirect the traffic to your new port.

I don’t think anyone is advocating for turning a blind eye to Mozilla. I think the argument being made is that a monoculture for browsers is a concern that can outweigh some blunders Mozilla makes.

I’m old enough to remember what a shit show ActiveX was for web security.

The beauty of Lemmy is the federation. Don’t like how an instance is being moderated? Make your own.

Nothing made by humans will ever be perfect, but at least with Lemmy the control isn’t in the hands of a megacorp trying to profit from us.
