Sounds (heh) good in theory, but so far it hasn’t been able to pick any radio in my country (Ar) or nearby. Inspector says any attempt to load a radio ends in a HTTP 403 error.
I’m a worldbuilding consultant and fanfiction writer for the Pokémon fandom, also work with computers ‘n’ stuff. Linux user (but not Arch, btw).
I have a Mastodon btw as @VeniaSilente .

Thanks for your work! I honestly don’t say this enough.
To be fair (and this is something I don’t recall being established with or dealt with in the video) you need to at least trust that the backend is there. Currently if “lol CIA AWS” servers are not working, you don’t have an option (Advanced Settings or whatever) in Signal to choose another provider, such as say a self-hosted community server.
Yeah the most annoying part is middle-clicking a link to a post in fedia to see it later in another tab, and not know in advance if the tab is going to Error 500 out or not. Admittedly makes browsing general on fedia a harder sell.
Didn’t even know you could do the debug addons thing! Thanks! Hopefully this info helps more people.
One would think that Firefox would have a command somewhere to re-export the currently installed extensions. Useful for migrations, replications etc.
Firefox ESR is basically the LTS of Firefox. Over a portion of the normal (“stable”) Firefox’s release cycle, ESR will get security fixes and backports, but nothing that changes interface or expected UX behaviours. It’s basically there for keeping an environment that is consistent and predictable over a reasonably long term (~1 y) which is why it’s the Firefox version that gets shipped with eg.: Debian.
In general, ESR is the default version I install for anything clients-wise that for some reason requires that we don’t intervene client machines too much (including maintenance). It’s fire-and-forget once you have the usual extensions rolling like uBlock Origin.
Memory wise it’s also quite reasonable in its usage and I’ve found it’s far more responsive to customization of in-RAM memory usage patterns than stable, nightly or develiper Firefox, who tend to ignore or misinterpret my requests such as “only use up to 16 MB of cache in RAM”.
One part where maybe ESR is too conservative is the HTML / CSS lexer. Because it’s intended to stay stable over very long periods it gets stuck with stuff like still not accepting CSS :has()
, and it seems the next ESR won’t support it either, whereas Nightly does already. Also, because behaviours are retained as long as possible, bug UI breaking changes such as the migration off Australis or the incorporation of the Extensions Button are a more jarring clash in ESR than in normal Firefox, because you get all those workflow-changing changes in one BIG update.
. It’s not like they can buy the Fediverse.
They don’t need to. They only need to buy the admins. And we know that some admins have annouced they are for sale.
Also, I continue to live on the edge with the development channel of the kbin repo
So far things have been mostly stable it seems, so: Really thanks for your efforts! Being around the Fediverse these days and being able to use things right after an update from the devel branch gives me something I hope akin to the “I use Arch btw” feel ;)
Thanks for the continued assistance!
I experience less (fewer?) 500 errors overall now. My profile now no longer does that thing at random anywhere, least. Stuff from lemmy.world tends to 500 more often, as does (for some weird reason) going to page 2 of any search result, but those are things I can def live with at the moment, I have no hurries.
To be fair, cheese being edible is now pretty much worldwide accepted, like pineapple on pizza, and it wasn’t even really “weird” back at the time. Snails on the other hand…
I’m not seeing this with all non-local mags, but I’m def seeing it with all non-local mags that I’m subscribed to. I first thought it was a problem with subscription and tried desubbing and subbing again, but it doesn’t seem to have an effect.
It’s not a very breaking problem when it comes to threads, but it is when it comes to comments, because sometimes even if a thread (post) is mirrored, it’s incomplete and thus I cant participate in a specific comment tree.
On the one hand, the French discovered that snails are edible. That takes some guts.
On the other hand, there was their play during WW2, their notorious love for the resurgence of neofascism, and now this.
I wonder how many more screwups before some guillotines are in order.
But, caveat emptor, we are on the development branch of early-in-its-lifecycle open source software.
Living dangerously, eh? You gotta do what you gotta do.
All I can comment ATM is that I’m no longer having the HTTP 500 erros I reported some days ago. Instead the issues I have now seem to do with federation: kbin magazines I’m suscribed to in other servers seem to not be updating (I get a message in Spanish that in English probably translates to something like “warning: this federated magazine is not complete. Explore the full content at [remote magazine link].”). Meaning I can’t ATM interact with magazines not in fedia.io since eg.: the posts or comments I want to reply to are not here.
Which leads me to a question I’ve always had about kbin model of federation but didn’t know how to put in words until now: my current understanding is that “federation” is actually the local instance working on an archived copy of the remote instance content and then sending the new content to be synchronized, yes? If so, is there an alternative model or configuration for federation that actually fetches the remote content when it’s going to be used rather than local users working over potentially incomplete copies?
I’m getting very “git rebase memes” from the current model, so I thought to ask.
I agree that Kbin could use a mascot (not necessarily need a mascot), but IMO the current proposals are not furry enough in this year of the Fediverse of 2023.
sudo format /q c: && apt install debian
Nice!
