  • which dynamic dns hoster?

    Jump

  • IMO, the best free option is https://freedns.afraid.org/. The biggest downside of that one is that you have to login a couple times a year (IIRC?) to keep it active. I actually still use this even though I have a paid domain, I just CNAME my real domains to the afraid dynamic name. That was easier than changing the config every time I become unhappy with my domain registrar and have to reconfigure everything after swapping.

  • Haier response to my feedback after Louis' YT video.

  • That doesn't mean the issue wasn't/won't be escalated. It might even mean it's more likely since someone bothered to make a response macro for it, they presumably got more than one or two emails about it. So it's probably more likely to make it on a "list of issues we saw this week/sprint/month/quarter".

  • Why docker

  • should implement bangs. Most people I know don't know #bangs exist. #wishlist

    Jump

  • It supports them already, there just aren't any provided by default. They're called Bookmark Keywords: https://github.com/jameshealyio/bang-bookmarks

    I'd suggest not importing all of them from that list though, there's a crap load, just pick the ones you want and put them in manually.

  • Xbox wireless controller pairs but will not connect. (SOLVED)

    Jump

  • Update the controller firmware.

    I've got the "Xbox Wireless Controller", the one that has a little bit of a grippy texture on the handles & the 'd-pad on a circle' d-pad. And I was seeing the same thing before updating the FW ~a year (maybe even two?) ago.

    Unfortunately, doing that requires a Windows PC or an Xbox.

  • Wanted to share the libredirect Firefox plugin, for abandoning Youtube.

  • You can only do that with Firefox Developer, can't you? And IIRC, they self uninstall after a week or something, don't they?

  • Oh, I'm confident(-ish) in my ability to review the code, but as I understand it I have no way to guarantee that the code that's on github is the code that AMO installs. Plus updates are automatic, so I have no way to ensure that something malicious won't be added anyway.

  • I keep thinking about installing this, but the required permissions seem a bit excessive:

    This add-on needs to:

    • Input data to the clipboard
    • Access your data for all websites

    Anyone know if the 'All Access' permission is really required for what this is doing? It just feels wrong. There isn't some sort of "Control Navigation for These Domains" that it could request for each enabled site or something is there?

  • My internal fight over what device to buy

    Jump

  • I am dismayed at the current scenario of basically nothing but the pixels being supported for rooting (not the fault of the community). Also a bit saddened by how easily everyone has accepted it.

    Serious question, what the the community not accepting it look like?
