If you have just recently received an update to Firefox on Android, you may find that all of your bookmarks now have sorting enabled with no option to turn it off.

There is a way (at the time of this post) to turn off this function.

Instructions for disabling automatic sorting currently:

  1. Open settings.
  2. Tap on About Firefox
  3. Tap on the Firefox logo 5 times to enable developer settings.
  4. Back out to the main settings menu, scroll down to Secret Settings, and tap on that.
  5. Find the 'Enable Compose Bookmarks' toggle and turn it off.

It looks like it's something the Firefox dev's have decided that everyone needs this without any other alternatives.

Easy fix, start giving them a head rub then when they move their head to provide better access to the part they want rubbed or scritched use your other hand to slide the book out.

Go to:

Settings > All settings > Webserver and API > webserver.session.timeout > Then change the value to "604800" for a 7 day log in like v5 had (or other value as needed).

So I recently built a new computer to replace my 7 year old one but I have noticed a strange problem with it.

When I boot up the computer and use it as normal it sits around 8-10 GiB of ram in use plus about another 9 GiB committed.

But when I suspend the computer then un-suspend it later the in use ram starts creeping up even if I have less running than I did when I originally booted the computer.

Last time this happened it went from 10 GiB all the way up to about 43 GiB in the space of a few hours.

If I reboot then things go back to normal behavior.

Anyone have any ideas about what I could look for to fix it?


Specs:

  • Manjaro XFCE 25.0.0 Zetar
  • 6.13.8-2 Kernel
  • Gigabyte B860I AORUS PRO ICE ITX Motherboard
  • Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF CPU
  • 64GB DDR5 RAM
  • 2TB M.2 NVMe

The did explain this in the "Watercare responds" section, in a "we have to word this so it won't cause problems in court" fashion.

The problem is their message was lost in the forest of "oh woah betide this property developer not being able to build" that was most of the article.

The article is 85% about the property developer and what they wanted, very biased and poor reporting.

From the sounds of it there is about 4000 more connections worth of capacity before the current system is at 100% capacity.

This sounds like a lot but ideally you do not want to run a system at 100% capacity for long periods as it leaves no spare capacity for surge events (where there is a sudden short term increase in usage), weather events and such like.

It also creates problems with loss of capacity due to equipment breakdown &/or maintenance, when that happens and they can't fix it quickly enough then the raw waste will have to be temporarily stored (causing the equipment to be running at over 100% capacity running a much higher risk of further equipment breakdowns to deal with the normal usage plus the stored waste) or more likely minimally treated then released into the ocean.

So restricting the use of the remaining capacity while it causes problems for people who want to develop properties it saves rate payers hundreds of thousands of dollars in unexpected waste water costs and reduces the chances of the council having to release waste into the environment.

You could try either googling your ISP name + country + router setup to see if they publish their settings or you can contact the ISP to see if they will give them to you.

Note this is all dependent on the ISP giving you a ONT fiber box that you connect a router to using an ethernet cable. Some ISP's will give a router that the fibre is plugged into which is a different beast altogether.

Did you check to see if you needed a VLAN attached to the PPPoE connection?

I know for my fibre connection here in NZ I have to attach VLAN 10 to my connection setup to allow for it to connect.

Are you sure that they don't prefer listening to audio books?

 

To save others from a bit of confusion I will make a post here.

The method to change the Web UI is "sudo pihole setpassword"

It will then prompt you for a new password.

I had the same problem with my previous case.

I ended up placing a coaster with a cork back over the buttons, the cork helped it to not slide around.

 

Just a PSA: for anyone using a MikroTik router, using it for their DHCP server and are having issues with their devices not using Pi-hole.

If you have set the IP of your Pi-hole as the DNS server and are seeing entries in "dynamic servers" then the router is using your ISP's DNS server causing it to bypass your Pi-Hole.

You need to go to the interface that is supplying your internet connection (PPPoE client, DHCP) and turn off the option "use peer dns".

This will disable dynamic servers and route everything to your Pi-hole.

 

I was looking through my Pi-hole logs and a strange URL is regularly coming up that I can't figure out what it is used for.

ap.syncforreddit.com

Does anyone have any insight?

 

I have the search bar added to the toolbar which I use to either search straight from it or use it to bring up google.

It looks like in the latest update you can no longer select the text box, hit enter and get taken to the search page.

You have to enter some text before it does so.

Does anyone else have the same issue?

I have recently upgraded my router from a nearly 7 year old consumer "gaming" router to a Mikrotik RB960PGS router.

So far I have been able to:

  • Remove all configurations
  • Set a long admin password
  • Create a bridge
  • Setup DHCP server
  • Set up NAT
  • Set up Spark NZ fibre connection
  • Update to latest stable firmware (7.15.2)
  • Set up basic IPv4 & IPv6 firewalls
  • Setup NTP & disable cloud/update time
  • Set DNS to my Pi-hole
  • Disabled the following IP services API, API-SSL, FTP, SSH, Telnet, & WWW-SSL
  • Turned off "detect internet"
  • Turned off "use peer dns" so all DNS goes through the Pi-Hole instead of the ISP's DNS servers.

Is there any other "gotcha's" or things that I should be setting up?

 

Just a PSA for anyone beating their head against a wall trying to figure out why snaps are not working on their Manjaro stable install.

The current top kernel (6.8.4-1) is bugged and causes snaps to give this error:

error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs"

Apparently the newer version of the 6.8 kernel available in Manjaro testing works fine.

About a day ago this post was made over on sh.itjust.works.

~~It has proceeded to cause the Sync for Lemmy app to either fully crash or to crash and restart as reported here.~~

~~Upon testing it doesn't appear to be the image as when posting, the PNG image link, WEBP image link, embeding the PNG image or WEBP image, Sync can open or view the image without issue.~~

Edit: Sync has been fixed.

But the mystery gets deeper as the above testing works fine when using the default "lemmy.world" interface but when I attempt to post a link to the image using the "old.lemmy.world" interface it crashes to what appears to be the webpage within the comment section (as shown here).

This is what I was attempting to post ("lemmy.world" - Worked, "old.lemmy.world" - Malfunction).

Test link [Test](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b733f506-7837-415d-a761-e3bea08c0594.png)

This is a test link to see if it is the image

I am using Firefox 123.0 on Manjaro 23.1.3

Could you please have a look into this.
