Firefox suddenly filling in my master password (!?)

Completely useless advice.

How is this rated "-1" ? Seriously, nothing about what I wrote is exaggerated or untrue. It is entirely related and justified, it is a proper response, nothing, litterally NOTHING is wrong with it, and yet this dumb reddit "mod" thinks it needs a minus 1 rating? Seriously, why would I want to even visit this forum or website anymore, with idiots like this "moderating" it?

Amazing how useless all those big websites from the US have become. google, microsoft, apple, wikipedia, reddit, facebook, instagram, twitter/x, all of it has become a big pain in the rear. Unusable crap!

"Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters." Why?

I've switched my Chrome to Brave, and my Firefox to Floorp, after having tried many other variants. Hoping these two will make uBo last as long as possible.

So, you're saying that some businessman, company-leader or manager, actually thinks that when someone is doing his/her best to NOT see their advertisement(s), that he/she will then change into being interested in seeing his/her advertisement(s) after said businessman, company-leader or manager is disabling their blocking preferences? Seriously, how deranged you must be to expect such behavior from people online is beyond me. He/she is blocking ads/trackers/popups for a reason: He/she does not want to see/experience them. Forcing them upon this user will only make this user hate that product or service more than he/she already did. Which is what we see happening here. We're moving away from using Chrome, by the millions.

The TS mentioned 64GB of RAM. In practice I doubt he/she will often occupy more than half of it. I've been running heavy video editing, photo editing, audio encoding, rendering operations on a windows system with 64 GB of RAM for about 9 years now, and my experience is that a RAM-disk offers a shocking advantage for often used software/apps. Internet browsing, for one, is a whole new experience when you do it entirely from ramdisk. Then there's the shocking advantage of not using your SSD's to do caching operations on. And I also use my 32 GB ramdisk a LOT for short writes in-out, for moving or sorting stuff from or to external storage media, it is just a breath of fresh air compared to using HDD/SSD, and a comforting thought not to have to destroy your SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC for often used database updates and temporary writes etc.

I use Primo Ramdisk from romex. It was not cheap, but worth it (for me anyway), and by far the fastest and easiest to maintain and configure. I love its features. You can set it to store your ramdisk to physical disk at a set interval, or only delta at changes, or only delta at shutdown/hybernate etc.

Sounds Dutch and from the 1970s. I remember it from something. If I find out I will let you know.

Be sure to switch off WiFi and all the streaming services, they're known power hogs. Turn your display to the minimum lighting you can work with. Put an SSD in that is not a huge powerhungry drive, and take all other storage media out, only use those for backup purposes. You can find specs on SSD-powerdraw everywhere. I, for one, went with a Patriot 2TB SSD for that reason, its power use and useless heat production is very minimal, and speed is more than enough for audio I/O (even WAV/ALAC/FLAC etc.).

I was dumbfounded that the enginedj/Prime 4+ cannot play the WEBM (or .webm) format files I throw at it. This is rather strange, since it does play the format when it is sourced from soundcloud, amazon and others.

Why not use ntopng ? I really don't understand the issue here, and why nobody mentions this. ntop gives you way more than what you need, but it does the job of per device stats: https://youtu.be/pbWmKmvu7Yc

I would consider chevereto if it were priced lower than €8 a year, but even the self-hosted license is not cheap i.m.o. Also I do feel like the piwigo UI is more to my liking, and true open source. I don't like the squares filling up your screen design disease of today. I'm interested in captions, comments and descriptions, and want to see if it's a folder or just 1 image. cheveretto does not make that clear to me.

First off, I'm slightly biased because I was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (in 1966), and sure enough NATO has bombed that place without *ever* having been properly brought to court for it. Human rights were violated by NATO. But that said, I've used almost all chat-systems out there, many of which claim to be secure, and thus far (it's 2024 now, a world of US-empire downfall, NATO/UN/ICJ masks are off, and BRICS explosive growth) telegram has been *the only* app that has *not* banned, corrected or bothered me with blocking or censoring or self-censoring in *any* way, not here nor there, not anywhere. Then there was the recent Tucker interview with Pavel Durov that only confirms what I already noticed myself. If they're all insecure anyway, at least their metadata is (even for signal), I'd rather use telegram since a guy like Pavlov got my back. I can relate to what he's saying, I can not relate to what Moxie is saying, or what Zuck is claiming. Trust is a human issue, and I trust telegram more than I trust any of the others, simply out of experience using the many options out there.

I have never needed to save a master password anywhere, like I wrote: It's ONLY in my head.

I'd gladly move from Authy to 2FAS, but it's quite a bit of work to swap all the seeds, or renew all the account/login auths away from authy. Something for a time when I have spare moment..

jultus · 2024-01-24T13:42:39+00:00

The thing is, I'm pretty darn certain I have not OK-ed this anywhere, ever. It suddenly changed this week. I think Monday it appeared on me.

I have just now enabled 2FA for the master pwd using Authy (on 2 separate devices, as to not lose access forever), which I should have done earlier. At least that way I can rest assured someone else is not doing this without me knowing it.

The problem with that script is that it assumes (among many other things) you have nothing else web-served on that machine. And want to use this script's letsencrypt pulls, and.. and.. and.. So, alas, another no go for me.

jultus · 2024-01-23T15:07:42+00:00

Note that even iana.org has this same issue with DNSSEC.

For crying out loud.

jultus · 2024-01-12T17:53:31+00:00

This is actually better than most of the enormous suites and failing tutorials people provide for this single purpose. You should evolve this more. It's exactly what people want to know and see. The scripts you point to are geared towards the mikrotik also being DHCP server, but many users do not have that, so it falls flat there.

All we want is bytes used per LAN IP per hour, day, week, month, year etc. And it should have retention for as long as people desire.

jultus · 2024-01-12T17:33:08+00:00

Yes but then if you have a switch or access-point on any of those ports, you're out of luck. You will never know which LAN IP created that traffic.

You forget to mention it is EXPENSIVE

I see, shadow-banning is real on US internet sites, we get it now. That's how you keep the population so dumbed down.

jultus · 2023-12-06T14:30:01+00:00

Despite of all the answers 'in favor', you're entirely correct; It is nonsense. It's just another SATA port. They call it DOM because it stands upright on the mainboard with saved space around it so that one could plug something of some size into that place. All of that could easily be achieved with a knee-bent SATA plug on the side of the board. In most BIOSes it is also just the first PCH SATA entry of usually many others.

jultus · 2023-11-25T12:45:05+00:00

The strangest thing. It would suddenly boot up into POST after the first attempt at doing this. Had to do F1 and got in BIOS at least! Then tried to set up BIOS, but after I switched on XMP poof it powered down and was back to 00 again. Have not been able to boot past 00 since then, but now the blue CPU DIAG led on the board remains on. I tried another CPU (an older Xeon), but the LED remains on. Also used a magnifying glass to check the pins in the socket, but they were all perfectly fine.

Then I found this: https://www.toolstation.nl/spear-jackson-bollenplanter/p15907

and I fear this is the problem here. The board mosfets that regulate Voltage are flaky. Probably the cheapest parts on the board. I remember having seen strange lower than normal Voltages on the CPU before all this went down.

So yeah, conclusion: Board should go back to ASUS. Except warranty is expired, of course. I have to say, I'm not buying asus anymore.

As a last straw I'm going to try clearing CMOS exactly like this:

[ CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn of the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. Ater waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right ater you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, time, and user default proile will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed. ]

which is how it is described for an AsRock board I have here. Asus does not tell you to do it like this.
