  • Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

    Jump

  • Did you give it to it?

    It can be a pretty nice feature for using map-based apps in the browser.

    I haven't used such websites for a while and I don't see Firefox in the recent users of the location API, even though I use Firefox Android all the time. (Info available in Android under Settings/Location.)

  • Firefox Blocks 0.0.0.0 IP Addresses: Tell Us What This Means To You!

    Jump

  • Do you have standard Firefox with default options that does this? This has not been my experience.

    You could try out with a new profile if it works out the same.

  • Rednote right now

  • And did mentioning these things just make the message disappear on US-based lemmy-instances?

    I don't believe it did.

  • How to deal with Mom who CANNOT learn how to use a password manager, but demands I "fix it"

    Jump

  • Perhaps many, but I have over 500 accounts in my password manager, yet none of have been leaked per the password exposure report (which I assume is based on the https://haveibeenpwned.com/ database).

    So perhaps the problem is overblown in practice, assuming you don't use the same password in many sites.

  • Realistically, how often does this happen?

    Maybe find a solution when it happens.

  • Before and after programming

    Jump

  • That's pretty low bar for calling something a "quirk". The whole ML family, so OCaml, SML, Haskell, F# and perhaps a the new distant relative Rust call it also it None.

    And it's not even the same thing: null means pointer to nothing, while None means no value.

  • How is None a quirk?

  • Discord now properly supports screensharing on linux

    Jump

  • Well, except perhaps for the fact that Discord has a Linux version, while the Facebook App doesn't.

    And—clearly!—it seems rather popular as well.

  • Right on! People should only share news articles that pertain to my interests.

  • Where should they be "taking" funding instead?

    Send: Share Files Safely with This Open-Source Successor Of Firefox Send(Firefox Send Fork)

    Jump

  • In theory, yes. But if you follow the link and that leads to downloading the JS and running it, you're already too late inspecting it.

    And even if you review it once (and it wasn't too large or obfuscated via minification), the next time you load a page, the JS can be different. I guess there could be a web browser extension for pinning the code?

    The only practial alternative I know of is to have a local client you can review once (and after updates).

  • So the trick is to use the #fragment part of the URL, that is not sent to the server.

    Of course the JS one downloads from the server could easily upload it to it, so you still need to trust the JS.

  • The poll is over, and the result is clear:

    Jump

  • Then there are the cases where you want the LLM to actually interact with the page, using the current web page state and your credentials.

    For example, one might want to tell it to uncheck all the "opt in" checkboxes in the page.. And express this task in plain English language.

    Many useful interactive agent tasks could be achieved with this. The chatbot would be merely the first step.

  • I haven't done it, but you could try socket activation.

  • What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?

    Jump

  • Maybe consider static ip assignment in your DHCP server (e.g. internet router) if at all possible.. Then you can add a name to it to /etc/hosts.

    Alternatively you could use Avahi to provide mdns names to your local network

  • why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first?

    Jump

  • Do you have that file? If not, then unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK will work just as well.

    If it does exist, then I suppose it has good chances of working correctly :). ssh-add -l will try to use that socket and list your keys in the service (or list nothing if there are no keys, but it would still work without error).

  • why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first?

    Jump

  • At the end of the log you find:

     
        
822413 connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/user/1000/gcr/ssh"}, 110) = 0
...
822413 read(4,

    meaning it's trying to interact with the ssh-agent, but it (finally) doesn't give a response.

    Use the lsof command to figure out which program is providing the agent service and try to resolve issue that way. If it's not the OpenSSH ssh-agent, then maybe you can disable its ssh-agent functionality and use real ssh-agent in its place..

    My wild guess is that the program might be trying to interactively verify the use of the key from you, but it is not succeeding in doing that for some reason.

    Jump

  • I guess it's worth checking if those names point to the expected binaries, but I also think it would be highly unlikely they would be anything else than just /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/bin/ssh-agent.

  • why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first?

    Jump

  • As mentioned, -v (or -vv) helps to analyze the situation.

    My theory is that you already have something providing ssh agent service, but that process is somehow stuck, and when ssh tries to connect it, it doesn't respond to the connect, or it accepts the connection but doesn't actually interact with ssh. Quite possibly ssh doesn't have a timeout for interacting with ssh-agent.

    Using eval $(ssh-agent -s) starts a new ssh agent and replaces the environment variables in question with the new ones, therefore avoiding the use of the stuck process.

    If this is the actual problem here, then before running the eval, echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK would show the path of the existing ssh agent socket. If this is the case, then you can use lsof $SSH_AUTH_SOCK to see what that process is. Quite possibly it's provided by gnome-keyring-daemon if you're running Gnome. As to why that process would not be working I don't have ideas.

    Another way to analyze the problem is strace -o logfile -f ssh .. and then check out what is at the end of the logfile. If the theory applies, then it would likely be a connect call for the ssh-agent.
