MultiViewer (which is an unofficial program, mind you) does support Linux, but you need to download the installer manually to install and update.

Other than that it works great

They started blocking access to the F1TV's website on Firefox...

Funny how everything works like it used to when I use an extension to pretend to be Chrome

Fortunately MultiViewer still works

This one in South Korea is pretty recent (October 2022).

A special police team conducted an investigation of the disaster within a few days of it occurring, and concluded on 13 January 2023 that the police and governments' failure to adequately prepare for the crowds, despite a number of ignored warnings, was the cause of the incident.

Ok, I understand what you meant, thanks.

Basically, after I’ve read all of that, it’s clear as day that security is not a priority on Testing. And while band-aid solutions do exist, it’s simply not designed to be secure.

Yeah, I wouldn't run it in a production environment.

Sure, but even in those "few cases" Testing will get them soon.

I did read at some point that Testing may receive security updates later than stable, might be in those cases in which backports come straight from unstable.

I don’t recommend going for (Debian’s/Devuan’s) testing (branch) as it targets a peculiar niche that I fail to understand; e.g. it doesn’t receive the security backports like Stable does nor does it receive them as soon as Unstable/Sid does. Unstable/Sid could work, but I would definitely setup (GRUB-)Btrfs + Timeshift/Snapper to retain my sanity.

From https://backports.debian.org/ :

Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing"), adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian stable

So by definition, security backports in stable are present in Testing in the form of regular packages, right?

Makes sense, thanks.

New to Linux: in which case would you stick with an "old-old-stable" release?

Software incompatibility?

The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 10 "buster" support will reach its end-of-life on June 30, 2024, nearly five years after its initial release on July 6th, 2019.

Starting in July, Debian will not provide further security updates for Debian 10. A subset of "buster" packages will be supported by external parties. Detailed information can be found at Extended LTS.

The Debian LTS Team will prepare afterwards the transition to Debian 11 "bullseye", the current oldstable release. Thanks to the combined effort of different teams including the Security Team, the Release Team, and the LTS Team, the Debian 11 life cycle will also encompass five years. To make the life cycle of Debian releases easier to follow, the related Debian teams have agreed on the following schedule: three years of regular support plus two years of Long Term Support. The LTS Team will take over support from the Security and the Release Teams on August 14, 2024, three years after the initial release on August 14, 2021. The final point update release for "bullseye" will be published soon after the final Debian 11 Security Advisory (DSA) will be issued.

Debian 11 will receive Long Term Support until August 31, 2026. The supported architectures remain amd64, i386, arm64 and armhf.

At first glance the difference in width comes from the front wings, which protruded beyond the wheels in the '22 cars.

So hopefully the wings last longer in wheel to wheel action.

restricting the total amount used and basically anything else makes more sense

Oh you meant eliminate the flow limit, I thought you meant eliminate the fuel itself. And I agree (with the caveat you said, also limiting the total amount).

That won't happen for 15 years at least, only Formula E can be fully electric.

With an FIA exclusivity deal through 2039 to be the sole EV single-seat series on the FIA menu, Formula E has plenty of time to grow.

If it’s one of those things to try to make it easier for the technically challenged but ends up making more advanced techniques difficult or impossible I’m not a fan.

In my opinion, the issue in this post is an outlier (although a surprisingly bad one).

My experience with blocks (or the "Gutenberg editor") has only been in creating custom blocks, I can't speak for using built-in blocks or blocks bundled in plugins.

With this context in mind, I've really liked this new editor used in conjunction with the "Advanced Custom Fields" plugin.

And you can still use those old page builders like Visual Composer/WP Bakery (which I hate) or create templates yourself for each page, this is just another tool.

I haven’t dived into it enough yet to see what purpose it serves or problems it aims to solve.

I know of a project which is a good example. Very large website, but most of their content is written by non-technical people (regarding the web). They have a small team which makes custom blocks and dictates how they are used by other people when posting new content.

I think using blocks helped them to maintain and improve a cohesive design even with so many people editing the website and after considerable years.

I wasn’t convinced that trying to take a more advanced product like WordPress and dumbing it down for non-technical use cases was the best idea

In that regard I reckon this is a step in the right direction for the WordPress ecosystem (but again, my experience is limited).

This might not be new, I hadn't dealt with WordPress/WooCommerce in a while.

Currently (v8.8.2) in a new WooCommerce installation the "Checkout" page is created using blocks, like so:

<!-- wp:woocommerce/checkout-payment-block -->
<div class="wp-block-woocommerce-checkout-payment-block"></div>
<!-- /wp:woocommerce/checkout-payment-block -->

(...)

The problem

This might introduce breaking changes to the plugins and themes you normally use. For example, I couldn't add a new field - programatically or using a plugin.

The fix

Remove the blocks and revert to using the shortcode:

[woocommerce_checkout]
