Sorry to spoil the party, but Mull browser and Mullvad browser are two different beasts. Mull browser is for Android by the DivestOS person, and Mullvad browser is based on Tor browser by the Swedish Mullvad VPN company.

DNS setting issue in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Ouch, that's a nasty bug imho. Thanks to this wiki entry I've looked up the file librewolf.cfg in /var/lib/flatpak/ and changed :

pref("network.trr.mode", 2);

into

pref("network.trr.mode", 5);

and that seems to fix it for now (till a newer LibreWolf maybe overrides that file).

searx.be and results in Russian? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Thing is that searx.be has been remarkably good for my use case since a long time. With other instances YMMV.

The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).

I guess that is the case. According to https://searx.space/ the searx.be server is in Austria but might use some proxy to talk to Google and similar to avoid quick blocking. The maintainer of searx.be also maintains yewtu.be and that one uses proxies (The proxy names can be seen when blocking auto play of videos in Tor browser).

Also getting results in Russian here since a few days. Usually it is either Swedish or Dutch. Never German.

Death of Piped? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Indeed. I tried on mobile with LibreTube and with Mull and both fail. And also fails now in Tor browser. The list is getting shorter.

Now I've tried almost all of them in the Piped instances list (Several domain name for sale and server not found errors) and only the smnz.de one works for me. :( I am wondering whether a freshly installed self-hosted private Piped video instance will work fine.

Works for me still (Using Tor browser. I'm Europe located).

The instances list is not up to date :

https://piped.smnz.de/watch?v=bBhDWTZDH9c

There's probably more working instances.

Plan B : I guess running your own Piped instance and not sharing it with a lot of people could be worth considering.

Personally I'm sticking to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Yt-dlp#Faster_downloads for the video downloading I do.

"I have Linus to thank for a long career using FreeBSD" | comment on HN (lemmy.ml)
 

Comment by drewg123 on July 25, 2019

I met Linus at the Linux BOF at the 1994 Boston USENIX. Very ironically, I have Linus to thank for a long career using FreeBSD. It sounds like a cheap shot, but please hear me out:

I was sysadmin'ing a university stats department at the time, and NFS use was very important. I had been trying to use Linux on 486's, but performance of xdvi (with NFS mounted fonts) was abysmal. A 486 would take minutes to render the same page that a wimpy DECStation could render in a second. From tcpdump, I figured out it was because Linux did not do any sort of NFS caching at the time, and xdvi wandered around font files one byte at a time.

I asked Linus at the BOF when they planned to implement NFS. He told me NFS was unimportant, nobody used it, and so on.

I then attended the FreeBSD BOF where a clean shaven guy in a collared shirt was giving a power point presentation. I asked about NFS there, and was told it should work fine. When I got home from the conference, I switched the 486 to FreeBSD, and it worked just fine.

I eventually did OS research on FreeBSD, was one of a few people to port FreeBSD to the DEC Alpha, and I now do kernel performance work for a large CDN, where we run FreeBSD.

Hatsu v0.2: Improved RSS compatibility, receive likes & reposts, new comment component (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/21064022

Hello, Hatsu is a self-hosted Fediverse bridge for static websites.

I recently released version 0.2 with the following features:

Improved RSS compatibility

RSS compatibility was terrible at 0.1.x due to some bugs - should now work with most valid Atom / RSS feeds.

Receive likes & reposts

Hatsu now receives likes and retweets for local posts and outputs them via a mastodon-compatible API.

New comment component

KKna is a new comment component (also written by me) that has Hatsu preset that automatically infer URL.

You can check the integration instructions in the documentation:

https://hatsu.cli.rs/users/backfeed-based-on-kkna.html

(It's still unstable)

Nix Package

Are you using NixOS / Nix? I am, so I packaged it into NUR and Nixpkgs.

There is no documentation on this at the moment, I will update it later.
