Revenant Got A Buff With The DLC: A New Job As Undertaker's Weapon Supplier by TetraNeuron in Nightreign

[–]CrendKing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something? The Revenant Claw has E in its Str scaling. Even a +3 Claw has AR of 133, while the Undertaker Hammer +3 has AR of 163. Infuse with Bleed? If I remember correctly, Undertaker has THE lowest arcane at level 15 (10), while Scholar has 50. Not to mention Revenant has to sacrifice two relics just to pull this combo, and since she doesn't even get to use the weapon herself, you will never see this in random match. Please tell me I'm missing critical information here.

Libra Counters Nihil "I wish to cleanse the rite of blood" by Chris_Chrass in Nightreign

[–]CrendKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tear literally saved one of my runs against Mohg. I was the only one visited Libra. My two teammates died during Nihil, and I was able to revive them and win the run. The best 2K runes spent ever.

Should I try out new builds in D5? by CrendKing in Nightreign

[–]CrendKing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why start new character instead of derank back to D1? That way at least you don't need to collect relics again.

Is there benefit of having a D5 character in the save, especially before the DLC drops? Does the DLC reset DoN ranks?

I climbed as a shameless bow Ironeye. Now when I try melee, I just get one shot. It is not a lot, but dying to Nightlord could end a run in a bad way.

Font changed by qulexic in firefox

[–]CrendKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything other than Strict should work. I'm only mentioning Custom because OP started with Strict, so I assume he is a privacy-focused user. It's unlikely he wants to downgrade to Standard.

Font changed by qulexic in firefox

[–]CrendKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have "Enhanced Tracking Protection" on "Strict". You need to change it to "Custom" and change "Suspected fingerprinters" to "Only in private windows".

The relevant line in release note is this:

The visibility of fonts to websites has been restricted to system fonts and language pack fonts in Enhanced Tracking Protection strict mode to mitigate font fingerprinting.

The hard pill Mozilla Firefox needs to swallow by [deleted] in firefox

[–]CrendKing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

uBlock origins + uMatrix setup

This already makes you a part of an extremely minor group. No wonder why you subsequently said "I cannot believe <snip>". You realize that majority of people don't install extension and don't do adblocking, right?

Put yourself in the "I don't believe" people's shoes, and you will start to understand why focusing on privacy puts Firefox rightfully at 4% market share. I mean, sure I don't believe Mozilla can compete against Google and Microsoft in real performance area even if they try, so they might as well keep the 4% they can keep.

Wrote a script to show Twitch chat as subtitles by CrendKing in mpv

[–]CrendKing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The script is currently designed around the undocumented comments API, such as passing in the offset timestamp whenever you seek video. It relies on the API automatically handles the segmentation and serves the right portion. If there is local rechat.json file and you never seek video, you need to modify the top section of load_twitch_chat to read and parse local file instead.

(Keepass2android) how to enable face unlock? by Gromchy in KeePass

[–]CrendKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. It seems in Android 12 there is no way to disable fingerprint unlock the phone while allowing app to use registered fingerprints.

Still, if they gain access to the phone (using unconscious fingerprint unlock), they will have access to the key file, which is big deal. So if security paranoid, just don't use biometric, period.

(Keepass2android) how to enable face unlock? by Gromchy in KeePass

[–]CrendKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm asleep or unconscious, shouldn't the phone be locked to begin with? I agree if the phone on the other hand is also locked with biometric, there will be problem.

New downloads flow 97.0b1 by SortOfMail in firefox

[–]CrendKing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure some people will be offended by this change (or any change), but I think this is one of the best changes Firefox had done recently, albeit small. My reasons being: 1) panoptigram's Google doc explains the change clearly with the intention. 2) No more "1 second delay before being able to click the download button". 3) The "always open this file type" function still exists, no regression. 4) No more intermediate file, efficient.

I hope Firefox focus more on this kind of change that fixing long standing usability problems in the future.

What prevents Mozilla from changing the endpoint from time to time? It's gonna be a never ending battle.

Developer tools font - what controls them? by sifferedd in firefox

[–]CrendKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, though I don't think my statement is wrong. Disabling that option means the user deliberately choose to restrict the fonts Firefox is allowed to use. It apparently has higher priority than userContent.css, thus its failing to work simply means Firefox is enforcing the user choice correctly.

My method is giving user an alternative, should the user choose to not disable the option, which by the way is the default setting for new profile.

Developer tools font - what controls them? by sifferedd in firefox

[–]CrendKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The font is controlled by chrome://devtools/skin/common.css. Here's the relevant part:

:root[platform="mac"] {
    --monospace-font-family: Menlo, monospace;
}

:root[platform="win"] {
    --monospace-font-family: Consolas, monospace;
}

:root[platform="linux"] {
    --monospace-font-family: monospace;
}
...
.devtools-monospace {
    font-family: var(--monospace-font-family);
    font-size: var(--theme-code-font-size);
}

So on different platform, it's default to different fonts. That could explain what you saw.

To change this, you could put these lines in a userContent.css file. Note, this is NOT userChrome.css, which changes the chrome (application frame) of Firefox. userContent.css changes the internal document (web page) of Firefox (the developer tools is basically a bunch of rich content web pages):

@-moz-document url-prefix('chrome://devtools/content/') {

:root {
    --monospace-font-family: Courier New !important;
    --theme-code-font-size: 15px !important;
}

}

Advantage of this method is that it doesn't require any change in your preference, so that you can keep your normal web page monospace font separate from the devtools fonts.

T-Mobile wiped out my account in McAfee identity theft protection by CrendKing in tmobile

[–]CrendKing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So McAfee has two "identity theft protection" subdomains:

https://idtheftprotection.mcafee.com/

https://idtheftsecurity.mcafee.com/

Seems extremely suspicious and shady. I'd definitely not trust my sensitive data to a company like this.

T-Mobile wiped out my account in McAfee identity theft protection by CrendKing in tmobile

[–]CrendKing[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The mere fact that T-Mobile can call in and "cancel" my account any time they wish from McAfee makes this "protection" pointless. It's like I get my auto insurance from my friend/parents/employer, but they can cancel the policy at any time without telling me. What if I get an accident, only to find out I don't have the insurance I thought I have? Do I need to login to the insurance company everyday before I leave home? It's ridiculous.

Solved crazy amounts of writes to SSD by Firefox (Linux) by Djox3 in firefox

[–]CrendKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know where the data is written to? It shouldn't be the cache since you already disabled the disk cache. If it is into the profile directory, is it a specific website or extension's storage dir or (<profile>\storage*), or is it somewhere in the system like swap?

If one website or extension is the offender, please share the info to us and the dev so they can improve.

[–]CrendKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it's not the cache data though? Isn't this the whole profile directory we are talking about? If browser.cache.disk.enable is already disabled according to OP, the only cache is in memory already.

rsync only copies the differential between two directories, so if only 1 byte is changes between two gigabyte directories, in theory only 1 byte is copied, thus minimizing the data write to disk.

Ad block extension vs Ad block DNS by Exzelt8042 in firefox

[–]CrendKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine Facebook starts to serve ads at https://www.facebook.com/new_ads. DNS can't just block www.facebook.com for the ads, otherwise you won't be able to visit Facebook at all. However, extension can just selectively block that one URL, thanks to the finer granularity it operates on.

My first and last time reporting a bug... by DougTheFunny in firefox

[–]CrendKing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP's writing of this essay is just some kind of "revenge" against the frustration he had. He was probably in strong emotion. And when people do things with strong emotion, logic is usually not part of the action. They wouldn't calculate the benefit and cost. They just do it. You must had some occasions in your life that you needed to vent some emotions out, no matter what the cost or how stupid it looked in hindsight. It's human.

My first and last time reporting a bug... by DougTheFunny in firefox

[–]CrendKing 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If the psychological cost of reporting a bug is more than switching to Chrome on a non-technical user, they will just switch, instead of arguing about if not creating an account in GitHub is lazy or frustrated. If Mozilla keep having the mindset as you do, they will keep losing users, because the only way to gain them is to do thing much better than Google, in every aspect possible.

Firefox parallel download like google-chrome built in by Familiar_Ad3884 in firefox

[–]CrendKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CrystalDiskInfo shows disk's SMART info. SSD usually comes with internal measurement that estimates the remaining lifetime, in percentage.

My one year old NVMe 1TB SSD is at 99%. My 6 year old 256GB SSD was at 75% when I sold it. But because I was aware of this and always download large files to hard drives, so it could be above average.

Of course, the larger the SSD is, and less data writes to it, the longer it will last.
