Nope there wasn't anything visible, I've been scrolling up and down to verify. Unless the video was somehow truncated or scaled to 1x1 px or something.

It's a clone of the official Firefox repo stripped of all telemetry.

Hah yeah he could definitely bring that across.

I'm 42 and never heard it before in that context.

I'm in a country specific discord channel where immigrants and wannabes discuss realities of moving.

Recently a bachelor student joined and in every second sentence or so I had to google something to understand what he wants.

From the exchange I learned that if something slaps, it's a good thing apparently.

Never heard of that website, looks like a bunch of gaming related stuff without proper sourcing outside of twitch and tiktok. Are they in any way reliable?

Totally off topic, but I was reading the article on Fennec (mobile Firefox clone) while playing music over Bluetooth to my car. I was parked waiting for someone, not driving. No streaming service, playing honest to god mp3s from my device, when out of the blue I got VPN ads over the speaker.

Fennec indicated that cnet was playing them, but there as was no video box or other audio player widget active, so it looks like they are splicing invisible audio ads in somehow?

I'm also using ublock origin on mobile plus AdAway (rooted), so that's not an easy feat.

Could anyone double check? That's the most obnoxious behavior I've experienced in recent time.

Could you give some more insights what exactly you mean? Maps? Flags? Books? Natural resources? Website? Apps?

[–] viking 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's actually quite well written and not as clickbaity as one might think.

[–] viking 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's banned by default. They are targeting uneducated nonsense.

Certainly not the act in itself, but wishing bad things on others only to have them happen to yourself? The irony is highly entertaining. Couldn't have happened to a worse person.

It's quite funny though. Cool, not so much. But reaping what you sawed? Yeah that's funny as fuck.

 

Hi all,

Need to pick your brains for a bit regarding best practices for handling of account recovery issues while traveling.

Premise would be that my phone gets lost or stolen, and I may not have easy access to my laptop either, and being in a foreign country I couldn't easily get a copy of the original SIM to restore via OTP.

Consequently, I also don't really love the idea of using some password manager with a master password and no F2A.

Under those circumstances, what would you consider the best way forward to ensure accessibility without crippling myself in the process?

The only thing I can come up with is a random subdomain on one of my domains, with random username and random password, where I store an encrypted container containing txt-files. Maybe even further obscured with a random cypher (all numbers / letters shifted x positions to the right or something).

But there's gotta be other use-cases out there, so I was wondering what you are using?

Ideally something that doesn't involve another person.

Thanks!

 

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a spam issue that isn't solved by either keyword or actual spam filter. The problem is that I'm in China and mass email marketing here is acceptable for some reason, so local spam filters don't catch the perps, and international ones are useless based on the language.

And since I'm in a customer/supplier facing role, quite a few genuine mails use the same keywords as the spammers, so that doesn't work to fix my problem.

However, the mails are usually sent to hundreds of people at once, all with their mail addresses in plain view in CC.

So I'd just like to set up a filter to send mails with >100 recipients or something like that straight to trash, but can't seem to find it in the outlook rule settings.

Does anyone know of a useful workaround?

Thanks!

 

I don't really use facebook anymore so couldn't care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.
