  • Low FPS in Firefox on one monitor

    Jump

  • That would make it a different problem than what I saw. Either your compositor has bugs not present in its xwayland, or firefox has bugs in its wayland implementation that don't occur under x11. Seeing this is snap, that could also be causing the issue.

    concerns me since I know distros are starting to default to Wayland

    xwayland will be supported for a long time to come, so this would only affect users that don't know about this "fix" yet. You should be able to use firefox in x11 mode until this is fixed.

    It would be good if you could check if this happens with a native (non-snap) firefox installation running on wayland. Ideally also if you could try it in a different dwm, probably kde since you are presumably using ubuntu with gnome.

  • I recall this happening on my higher refreshrate and resolution screen on X11 and nvidia (iirc a 2070 super). Moving to wayland fixed it.I mainly noticed frame drops in videos in forefox, but I'm sure scrolling was also affected.

    It probably manifests on a per usecase basis since it depends on how exactly the gpu or x11 is loaded. Whatever it is, it's some consequence of x11 being flawed at its core abd just not scaling well with modern usecases.

    In my case I was forced onto wayland after I got my new better monitor due to how choppy x11 felt.I had 2 1080p 60Hz and got a 4k 120/144Hz screen.

  • Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days

    Jump

  • The entire renewal process is fairly cheap, resource wise. 7 day certificates are already a thing.In terms of bandwidth you could easily renew a billion certificates a day over a gigabit connection, and in terms of performance I recon even without specialized hardware a single system could keep up with that, though that also depends on the signature algorithms employed in the future of course.

    The dependence on these servers is the far bigger problem I'd say.This shortening of lifetimes is a slow change, so I hope there will be solutions before it becomes an issue. Like keeping multiple copies of certificates alive with different providers, so the one in use can silently fall through when one provider stops working. Currently there are too few providers for my taste, that would have to improve for such a system to be viable.

    Maybe one day you'll select a bundle of 5 certificate services with similar policies for creating your certificate the way you currently select a single one in certbot or acme.sh

  • KDE Connect security advisory released due to possible authentication bypass

  • I just don't update kde very often since it might force me to re-login or restart. I currently have 9 months uptime so that's the age of kde connect.

  • ECC ram. Hardware stability was the main factor.

    Real Linus mentions spending days hunting an instability bug in the kernel to have it turn out as bad ram on his pc.

  • Albania will probably join the eu in 2030. Wait 5 years, then simply live somewhere in the eu, maybe even do most of your crimes in the eu, and you won't ever run into border checks.

  • NTFSPLUS Driver Updated As It Works Toward The Mainline Kernel

    Jump

  • The year is 2046, the ntfs4g++-next driver is put into maintenance mode as Linux slowly phases out support for the legacy operating system "windows".

  • I wasted all my generational luck for this

    Jump

  • As long as you don't run out of memory, you can actually insert and lookup in O(1) time for a known space of values (that we have). Therefore we do get the quadratic speedup, that when dealing with bits of keysize or entropy means cutting it in half.Checking to get a specific uuid takes 128bit, so 2128 draws of a uuid. Putting all previous uuids into a table we expect a collision in 64bit, so 264. We also need about that much storage to contain the table, so some tens of exabytes.

  • Against a apecific one too. Usually you'd check for duplicates against all previous uuids

  • In a way that weakens the open source software world by giving companies a way to avoid the GPL license of linux.For really no reason, this project gains nothing from being MIT instead of GPL.

  • Firefox 147 Will Support The XDG Base Directory Specification

    Jump

  • I think they mostly are.Cache is already in .cache/mozilla, so usually there is no change hence I didn't mention it. They did move the cache to the XDG_CACHE_HOME by default. And yes they are using the XDG variables including the recommended fallback values.

    The line between data and config has always been blurred, Most data in the browser is "data" until a user overrides it. Even extension files presence is linked with their configured state of being installed.For log files I'm not sure anyone follows that. Besides firefox barely has any plain logs, I think having those in the profile is fine.Currently it's all in XDG_CONFIG_HOME

  • In practice that should mean running mv ~/.mozilla ~/.config/mozilla.Of course the old directory will still be detected and used if present, probably for a long time to come.
