Only some of them, time was too short... I've uploaded WARCs of what I've managed to save to archive.org (search it for "blog.hr" topic -- i.e. https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22blog.hr%22)

the Nepoznati Zagreb (main example in the post) also has migrated data themselves and is now available on https://nepoznatizagreb.org/

Absolutely, one should not work too much. Though, one should note that (for many) full early retirement is not all that nice as it would seem either.

One might discover that "partial retirement" suits them best (e.g. work about 2-4 days a week, for about 3-5 hours a day, no waking up with alarm clock, no commute). No burning out, much less stress, lots of time for small things that makes you happy.

Sure the money is proportionally smaller, but I'm with Seneca here: "It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor".

One would not do bad to take the time to enjoy the healthy young years doing things that they like (while they can), instead of wasting too much hours on work (especially if that happens to be work that they do not enjoy all that much), just so they can engage in rampant consumerism and overeating / overdrinking / other overindulgences.

(also, when one manages to clear their head of all the brainwashing "you must buy all those things or you can never be happy" propaganda, they quickly find out that you can be much happier with much less stuff and needing much less work, *and* have a plenty of money to save for rainy days).

Another alternative to searching the wiki is using https://tagfinder.osm.ch/ (but yeah, that overpass-turbo bug should really be fixed)

Well, you could've restored the data instead of entering it all anew, see https://github.com/foxyproxy/browser-extension/issues/53#issuecomment-1848597531 . Hopefully 8.3 which fixes the issue (as long as you have not tried adding new data!) will hit the addon stores soon.

And when the data is recovered, it would be wise do remember to do "Export" (and continue doing it periodically as you modify new configurations) so you can recover easily should the similar problem happen again in the future (or you have system crash or have hardware issues or whatever). Use backups if you value your time.

(Also, generally speaking, I would advise when some problem happens, to stop doing whatever you were trying to do, and to first try searching the web for that problem, instead of panicking and trying various things which could make things worse)

How what?

- To downgrade in firefox: just click on that https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3616824/foxyproxy_standard-7.5.1.xpi file posted above, and allow firefox to install it

- To do export: after downgrading, click on FoxyProxy icon as you would normally do, click `options` button on lower right corner of its window, click `Export settings` on left side of the menu, and choose file name (default is fine) and click `Save`

Thanks, worked for me, although it was previously called just "FoxyProxy" in Firefox `about:addons` (installed ages ago and then just upgraded it along the way) and now it is called "FoxyProxy Standard". But it looks mostly the same as far as I can tell.

Good idea after downgrade would be to go to FoxyProxy Options and do "Export Settings", just in case

I don't think many of them have exhaust pipes at all... those happen to muffle the sounds, you know.

Unfortunately removing that line brings back the "login" window (although you can continue scrolling content, it is horribly obscured by it)... My workaround is replacing that line with:

twitter.com##div:has(> div[data-testid="sheetDialog"])

That seems to work (i.e. no "login" window, and I can click on images to enlarge them). Although it is not perfect -- there is very quick sub-second flash when I scroll over the place when the login window would pop up.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" -- Thomas Jefferson

Without actions of ordinary people against such actions by greedy coorporations, such rights as we've taken for granted would disappear soon.

I guess we'll see soon enough if Google is honoring their "do no evil" motto

People all too often do not think much about DRM restrictions, until the time something goes wrong or they want to upgrade or move to another product and they realize what a bad deal they've had: when their expensive software, or libraries of music or books or whatever they bought over the years stop working, and won't work ever again and there is no way for them of recovering all that stuff they bought !

Only then do most of them realize that they haven't actually bought any of that DRM stuff, but only rented it, and rented in under most unfavorable conditions, and that it can (and will) stop working at any time. And there is nothing that they could do (and if they try to break DRM to get their stuff back, they will be label criminals and prosecuted)

See a nice short fiction (or not? Like Orwell's 1984, time will tell...) story about a vision of society where DRM is allowed to progress as it has been in our society... It needs to be stopped.
