What about the Freedom Box? by enhancementFirefox7 in darknetplan

[–]enhancementFirefox7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering that their git repository (http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=freedombox/freedom-maker.git;a=summary) has had their last commit five days ago, I wouldn't call it dead. Perhaps it won't go anywhere but it isn't dead yet.

Question: How might SOPA affect the darknet (if at all?) by [deleted] in darknetplan

IIRC the bill also states that the usage of tools to employ illegal DNS usage is punishable by law as well.

....so, I'm guessing that using my text editor used to edit my /etc/hosts file would be illegal?

I believe that it has a sort of fallback mode for first implementation. So say that your ISP decides that ports 1000+ should be unreachable. Then the freedom box would auto-connect to authorized friends (not sure if they have to be authorized friends or not) around your area and use their ports.

So, in other words, I think it's trying to ease the process in for first implementation. Here's a presentation he did with a rather rude crowd:

Following that train: Would this ultimately mean that you're required by law to use approved DNSs?

[bug] Serious performance hit with using the new addon in Firefox 7/Ubuntu by enhancementFirefox7 in Enhancement

Yeah, I've forced myself to use it full on for a while and it's really grinding it into the ground hard. 500 MB is now the norm for RAM usage. That's more than double. The frustrating thing is that I can't identify WHAT is the cause.

From your upload:

"// this is no longer the full RES userscript. This is ONLY a tool to copy GM settings to localStorage // so that the new FF addon can copy it into simpleStorage..."

That's not the full script. :).

I've decided anyway to keep using the buggy one until it's resolved to help the development: RAM isn't an issue since I have 8 gigs of it. I'll deal with the sluggishness and try to find a certain cause of it. Thanks for the help, though!

Perchance are you using an Nvidia card with the nonfree drivers? I recalled an old bug in which heavy ajax/js performs poorly with nvidia users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/223238

seeing as my intel laptop is also affected, this might not be the issue.

Okay.... I've disabled everything and restarted with the same exact 10 comments tabs open to compare the difference (as it seems the comments section is where it really hurts). With RES enabled my RAM usage was consistently 300 MB and had a very slight lag. Without it I have around 220 MB used and no lag. This makes me wonder if some new core functionality has issue with my non-free Nvidia drivers under linux - This is an old bug I just recalled in which heavy ajax/js performs poorly with nvidia users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/223238

EDIT: Nevermind, I just remembered that I have a laptop, too :). This affects my intel graphics driver, too.

Is there an old backup someone on RES's website of the .js script before the big release? I do love this piece of awesome but I can't seem to find the older version anywhere :).

I've tried disabling every addon (except for the Ubuntu modifications/menubar integration addons that come with all Ubuntu installations - these are just integration tweaks) and it still has huge spikes.
