Unfortunately, as much as I hate to admit it as someone who has left Chromium behind personally, Chromium is kind of the only choice.

With Mozilla's rudderless stewardship of Firefox, I reluctantly agree with this. Firefox, and Mozilla, used to stand for something more than just a browser, but that is sadly vanishing now. Chrome is really the future and while I'm clinging on to Firefox, I will succumb in the end.

It's very sad. I've been a Firefox user for so long I've lost count. But Mozilla has lost it's way and I don't see it making any noise about getting back on course.

I think having one browser engine is a very bad idea. But here we are.

I use pfSense and tried to migrate away in the past. The changes I would have had to make to setup opnsense were so significant that I gave up for to lack of time. I don't have time luxury of downtime so I need to migrate quickly.

But if I were starting again I'd absolutely avoid the pfSense project and their childish shitty behaviour.

I do plan to buy more hardware to replace my current pfSense box and take my time to implement opnsense gradually.

There are quite a few mind map plugins for Obsidian.

I settled on Raindrop.io which is free but I paid to support it ($30 a year I think). I had to change my workflow slightly and the Obsidian integration is not as great as Omnivore's, but it wasn't a pain. The browser integration is really good and I prefer it to Omnivore's. It supports RSS and has a decent mobile app.

Overall I think it's a decent replacement and I'm happy.

I tried Wallabag but the Obsidian integration was poor and Wallabag felt unloved recycle by extension made me question it's future (which is unfair given my limited time with it). There was a trial which was not enough time for me to evaluate it comfortably.

Most EU countries have been demilitarizing for 30 years more and more, with the strategy being "it's a new world without wars, and also big daddy USA will protect us,l

That's not the Europe I see now and sounds like a US President trope. I would agree that post-Cold War that was the case, but I'd say in the last decade at least, it's not.

But, genuine question as I'm open to being wrong, saved this is an area that interests me, do you have sources for this?

What are people's go-to for eBook buying stores? Preferably DRM free.

I try to not buy Kindle books but I usually end up back there as it's either much cheaper (not just slightly) or can only be found there.

no one gives a shit what kids are doing on their devices

Except Joe. And people like Joe. Whose surveillance of kids is now not only easier, but sanctioned.

Being up to date is the entire point and so typically there are only global options to either grab those updates from the vendor or host them internally on a central server but you wouldn’t want to slow roll or stage those updates since that fundamentally reduces the protection from zero days and novel attacks that the product is specifically there to detect and stop.

That's not your, or Crowdstrikes, decision to make. If organizations have applied settings to not install updates automatically then that's what they expect to happen and you need to honour it. You don't "know best". They do.

I may have missed something.

Firefox 127 has introduced privacy tweaks that are causing user dissatisfaction, particularly due to changes like the separation of normal and private windows on the taskbar and the closing of private tabs when the main instance closes on iOS.

This sounds like it would be the expected behaviour?

  • Despite user complaints, the update includes new privacy and security enhancements such as upgrading subresources from HTTP to HTTPS and masking CPU architecture to reduce fingerprinting.

This sounds like a good thing?

  • Mozilla plans to address user feedback by reintroducing the "browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled" preference as an opt-in and adding more intuitive privacy settings in future updates.

This sounds like a good thing?

The link I posted said this:

In the U.S., Google charges individual users $14 per month for YouTube Premium, which limits ads and offers a few additional features.

So it 'limits ads' which means there are still ads.

People at the Post Office and Fujitsu need to go to jail over this.

It won't happen. They'll get away with it. Same as ever.
