uh.. no... The add-on was also developed for Firefox, which still have Manifest V2. Because of the headache of Mozilla, Hill decided to stop development for Mozilla and only release the latest (signed) add-on via github, without further updates. The developer just makes a statement that it's getting so worse to develop for Firefox that he just doesn't do it anymore.

I got tons of DDoS attacks from China & Singapore lately (including a lot of people I know around me running servers). So maybe this is true for this specific DDoS attack, but in general this chart can't be correct. A lot of DDos is happening from Tencent cloud & Alibaba cloud as well!!!

THe developer also don't want to develop uBLock Origin Lite. Mozilla is sucking all energy out of people.

Also you can't replace the battery. So if you electric brush is dead, you will need to replace the whole thing.

You are 100% correct!

When governments are corrupt; rebellion is the same as criminal, because you are going against the government. That is the whole problem.

You can't print anymore. Try to use a plotter.

Popular smart TV models made by Samsung and LG can take multiple snapshots of what you are watching every second – even when they are being used as external displays for your laptop or video game console.

Smart TV manufacturers use these frequent screenshots, as well as audio recordings, in their automatic content recognition systems, which track viewing habits in order to target people with specific advertising. But researchers showed this tracking by some of the world’s most popular smart TV brands – Samsung TVs can take screenshots every 500 milliseconds and LG TVs every 10 milliseconds – can occur when people least expect it.

“When a user connects their laptop via HDMI just to browse stuff on their laptop on a bigger screen by using the TV as a ‘dumb’ display, they are unsuspecting of their activity being screenshotted,” says Yash Vekaria at the University of California, Davis. Samsung and LG did not respond to a request for comment.

Vekaria and his colleagues connected smart TVs from Samsung and LG to their own computer server. Their server, which was equipped with software for analysing network traffic, acted as a middleman to see what visual snapshots or audio data the TVs were uploading.

They found the smart TVs did not appear to upload any screenshots or audio data when streaming from Netflix or other third-party apps, mirroring YouTube content streamed on a separate phone or laptop or when sitting idle. But the smart TVs did upload snapshots when showing broadcasts from the TV antenna or content from an HDMI-connected device.

The researchers also discovered country-specific differences when users streamed the free ad-supported TV channel provided by Samsung or LG platforms. Such user activities were uploaded when the TV was operating in the US but not in the UK.

By recording user activity even when it’s coming from connected laptops, smart TVs might capture sensitive data, says Vekaria. For example, it might record if people are browsing for baby products or other personal items.

Customers can opt out of such tracking for Samsung and LG TVs. But the process requires customers to either enable or disable between six and 11 different options in the TV settings.

“This is the sort of privacy-intrusive technology that should require people to opt into sharing their data with clear language explaining exactly what they’re agreeing to, not baked into initial setup agreements that people tend to speed through,” says Thorin Klosowski at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital privacy non-profit based in California.

Private properties are counterparts of the regular class properties which are public, including class fields, class methods, etc. Private properties get created by using a hash # prefix and cannot be legally referenced outside of the class. The privacy encapsulation of these class properties is enforced by JavaScript itself. The only way to access a private property is via dot notation, and you can only do so within the class that defines the private property.

 

Today I'm planning to upgrade the server from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 (new LTS release).

I already proposed it once after reading: https://ostechnix.com/ubuntu-24-04-1-lts-release-delayed/...

Hopefully I will not hit any of these RabbitMQ bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-server/+bug/2074309

Mastodon poll is a tie: https://mastodon.melroy.org/@melroy/113135476244781426

So, let's go! What can go wrong??

Haha, this is very dangerous.

 

Today we are releasing Mbin v1.7.1. Upgrade your Mbin server now to the latest release: 1.7.1.

This version includes tons of fixes (too many to mention here, look at "What's Changed") and introduces also new features like: trusted proxy configuration (see also docs), activate accounts manually using the admin panel, show an error when the image is too large to upload (look at the latest .env template file), improved API end-points (isAdmin, isGlobalModerator is part of the user API, fixed AP context and more) as well as many documentation improvements.

Note: Due to a dead-lock issue in 1.7.0, which is now fixed in 1.7.1, we strongly recommend upgrading your Mbin server as soon as possible.


If you want to host your own Mbin server? But you need help? Come and join us at: Matrix chat. We are happy to help!


I personally want to thank all contributors of Mbin as well as the Mbin community as a whole! We can't do it without all of you.
