Site-specific permissions menu disappeared in c/[email protected]

If you open the spoiler, you'll see what I'm talking about. Firefox used to have one similar to Chrome, but now it's whittled down.

No, that's Bertha.

Site-specific permissions menu disappeared (sh.itjust.works)
 

Not disappeared actually, but it was whittled down so much it might as well have.

Let me show you the site-specific permissions menu that I'm talking about

In an ancient version of Chrome:

Here it is in a modern version of Chrome:

Here it is in Edge:

This is what it looks like in Firefox:

And this is what it looks like in Librewolf:

How do I get the good version back?

VSCodium can't save file if it needs root privileges (Linux Flatpak) (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/35352374

If I open a text file that needs root privileges to modify, I get this error:

Failed to save 'this_file': Insufficient permissions. Select 'Retry as Sudo' to retry as superuser.

That's fine, that's expected.

But when I click on "Retry as Sudo", I get this error:

Failed to save 'this_file': Unable to find pkexec or kdesudo.

This happens though pkexec is installed on my machine, at /usr/bin/pkexec; and I granted VSCodium access to it through Flatseal. How do I fix this?

For example, if whenever I step from a standstill, I always use my right leg. Will my legs become asymmetrical?

Look at the asterisks. It downloads far less than what it says, yet it still completes and runs fine. How‽

Firefox profile directory doesn't exist? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Supposedly that is the path to my Firefox profile directory. But when I click "Open Directory", nothing happens.

When I access that file path, the directory (k45qdkms.default-release) does not exist.

Encrypted home partition doesn't decrypt on boot (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/32235573

I just installed a Debian 13 Trixie system on my laptop. I have 5 GPT partitions on 1 terabyte SSD and NO LVM!

partition layout

sda1 vfat 256M   EFI system partition
sda2 ext4 512M   boot partition
sda3 LUKS 460G   encrypted root
--   sda3_crypt  root partition, unlocks with passphrase
sda4 LUKS 465G   encrypted home
--   sda4_crypt  home partition, unlocks with passphrase
sda5 LUKS 4G     encrypted swap
--   sda5_crypt  swap partition, unlocks with keyfile

GRUB works fine, it loads the kernel, then I enter the password to decrypt my root partition. It decrypts correctly, then hangs for 1 minute 30 seconds.

After that, I get this error:

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mapper-sda4_crypt.device - /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for home.mount - /home/
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for local-fs.target - Local File Systems.

[DEPEND] Dependency failed for dev-mapper-sda5_crypt.swap - /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt.

Not once does it ask me for the password to decrypt my home partition, it just waits until it fails.

Timeshift crashed my desktop! (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31907670

When I use the Timeshift GUI to create a snapshot, it takes a very long time to complete. If I click Cancel, my desktop environment crashes and I get kicked to a black screen or a login prompt.

When I use Timeshift CLI, it creates the snapshot in less than a second, but the command waits for a long time afterward. However, it can be safely interrupted with control-C.

Timeshift is in BTRFS mode.
