It's not, but it doesn't look like they need hardcore censorship resistance if they are able to host and use headscale. It looks like their main problem is internet outages.

I have been in environmenrs where any usage of wireguard is automatically fingerprinted and blocked.

I'm pro reposts, I hadn't seen two of those articles you have mentioned in the post.

Xkcd 10000

This is basically what Iroh is.

But it's built on QUIC instead of TURN/WebRTC.

What is the purpose of a VPN?

To obscure the traffic of your whole machine?

To obscure 99% of the traffic on your machine since it's from your browser?

To bypass censorship for a website or two?

Yes. Firefox got vertical tabs and tab groups both very close to eachother, very recently.

It's actually pretty damn good in terms of privacy. It's Mozilla VPN, which is white labelled and resold Mullvad (but at the same price).

Mullvad is a no logs provider with a good track record.

Unfortunately,: https://korben.info/en/mullvad-cofounder-funding-far-right.html

I typically avoid VPN's, becuaee in my opinion DNS over TLS/HTTPs + HTTPS are enough for my privacy/security needs, but I will happily use the free VPN every once in a while to get around a firewall or test if a website is universally down. I find it very useful, and am happy that firefox has added. And although I'm not entirely pleased given recent relevations about Mullvad, I'm happy to see that Mozilla is attempting to make money by offering privacy, rather than taking it away.

PWA's in firefox are interesting. They are actually really well supported, just not visually/in the UX.

For example, if you visit https://wavemakercards.com/ or https://www.photopea.com/ once, they will then work offline. This is a big oart of the PWA featureset.

It's because of this that there are unofficial extensions that let you "install" PWA's like you can om chromium.

My personal theory, is that firefox is in the middle of very long UI rewrite/refactor, and only when it's completed or nears completion, will we see features like vertical tabs, tab groups, or these other UI features people have been asking for for a while but have never gotten added.

Because edge is actually based on chromium?

Basically all of it is chromium. There is a ton of stuff that is not just the rendering extension that is included like extensions, pwa support, or hardware interface protocols (like webusb) that are from chromium, that wouldn't work if edge was just using blink. Chromium isn't just the rendering engine, it's this whole platform.

They do mention blink in the article, so they do seem to be aware of this distrinction.

You can use Firefox ESR, the extended support release which receives security updates but doesn't receive feature updates or other major changes.

Damn, I can't believe 115 is still being maintained for 6 more months.

Librewolf is based on the main release of firefox, and will probably inherit all the UI changes as Mozilla releases them.

You can do some tiling with plasma.

Firstly, there is built in rudimenteary tiling via Meta + T. It's not automatic, but you can snap windows to zones and tile them. If you want automatic tiling, your best bet is a KDE extension.

Here are some of the popular one:

You can install these via the KDE store, usually, Discover.

https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite

 

They also have a website with docs: https://nixmultiverse.com/docs/

The website can also be used to search for specific package versions in nixpkgs, to get the nixpkgs revision: https://nixmultiverse.com/

The above feature is similar to: https://lazamar.co.uk/nix-versions/ or https://www.nixhub.io/ , but using this project is a way easier alternative than searching for an pinning revisions.

 

Pairdop is an open source, browser based, peer to peer file sharing application.

It is cool because it can find other devices on the network. So you open up pairdrop on one computer, and you open pairdop on another, and then you can see the devices and chat with eachother.

But, you also have the options of:

  • Creating a temporary public room for sharing files over the network to another device
  • Permanently pairing devices so that they can access eachother after you close the app

In addition to that, it's a progressive web application, so you can "install", and/or the web page does not need internet to load, firefox will cache it and let you use the app even if you don't have internet.

There is a publicly hosted instance you can try: https://pairdrop.net/

I can't find the source code for this, I am posting here to save it to remind myself to search later.
