Are you really sure it’s not because of an add-on? If I remember correctly, Mozilla has said that about 95% of all pages that don’t work aren’t due to Firefox, but to an add-on. I use Firefox exclusively and don’t usually notice that pages don’t work. When that happens, as I said, it’s almost always an add-on that’s to blame. And I dont notice its buggy or laggy. So could be good check your addons next time.

New comment by MasterYoda in "Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop"

MasterYoda — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 17:13:41 +0000

LocalSend is the best app to transfer files from mobile to computer wireless that I have fund.

But it has one really big weakness/bug. When you transfer a file and it get interrupted, the half written file on the receiving end is not removed and you get an corrupted file. If you dont notice it, it could look like al files are transfered, but they are not. This is really bad, it is not how files should be "copied/transfered".

MasterYoda — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 07:01:27 +0000

In Sweden's northernmost city, Kiruna, north of the Arctic Circle, the city must be relocated so that the mining company LKAB can continue mining iron ore because the mining undermines the existing town centre. [1]

¨SVT is broadcasting live coverage of the unique relocation of Kiruna Church from the old city centre to its new location five kilometres away. The major church relocation will take two days and is part of the extensive urban transformation. The iconic church is 40 metres wide, 35 metres high and weighs 672 tonnes. The work requires extreme precision and nothing can go wrong.¨

If this is a privacy first browser, why wasn´t Firefox used when it is much better out of the box for this approach? All security and privacy focused webbrowser use Firefox. Like Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser, LibreWolf etc.

Also, I think it is super important we have different "webbrowser engines" and that are independent from big tech companies. If we only have chromium it would be really bad and hurt use consumer really bad and also stop inovation.

We really need to support independentCbrowsers like Firefox more.

Which good free open source alternatives for remote desktop on win 11 are there where you can install both a server ()for win11 home that have the rdp server) and have a client you connect with? Knows only about VNC, but never liked it? And ironrdp just looks like the client. Whant to selfhost the server.

MasterYoda — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 21:14:58 +0000

Is there any simple FOSS alternative to tailscale that you can self-host?

The only thing I need is to simply connect to the home network and I dont want to need to open and forward ports etc in routers and firewalls for it to work, just something simple plug and play and is secure.

New comment by MasterYoda in "Sweden Investigates New Cable Break Under Baltic Sea"

MasterYoda — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:01:20 +0000

According to experts, there have been no cable breaks of this type for over a decade in the Baltic Sea and now suddenly there have been about 5 in just 1,5 year, at a time when ruzzia is conducting aggressive hybrid warfare and the last 2 ships discovered were also Chinese ships, a country that supports ruzzia and one ship had a ruzzian captain and they also seem to belong to the ruzzian shadow fleet.

Several of the ships have also gone to / from ruzzian ports and behaved strangely, for example zig zagged over the cable before, turned off the transponder, drifted around etc. which ships do not normally do.

Suddenly, cable breaks in the Baltic Sea are 26 times higher than in the rest of the world, it can not be dismissed as "accidents". These cables have not broken by chance, according to experts, but this is a deliberate act.

New comment by MasterYoda in "Two undersea cables in Baltic Sea disrupted"

MasterYoda — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:25:32 +0000

The last time it happened, the Russian ship had also been seen unnaturally going back and forth over the cable where the damage occurred. These damages do not happen by themselves. Considering the current international situation and the fact that it happened in a short time in several places unnaturally in a limited region, the Baltic Sea, you have to be very naive if you do not see this as probable sabotage.

How do you set the shortcut? When I press cmd-j the Library in Firefox opens. I have checked "Disbale javascript" in settings in uBO. I guess that setting will be disable for just the site i visit when i click cmd-j?
