So there’s a couple of sources, like the (rather outdated) Mozilla wiki page detailing the sandbox support on Linux.

And I know it’s specifically the Chromium sandbox, since they vendor their copy of it.

I also just checked the sandboxing status directly in Firefox.

And I’m kinda of cheating, I knew they used it since I’ve got an unsupported configuration with HW video decoding. It’s caused by their sandbox blocking certain things, and it’s a known issue. Nvidia drivers don’t support VA-API, Firefox only supports VA-API. There’s an adapter library available, but it doesn’t work in Firefox unless you disable the sandbox.

Edit: Oh yeah, Firefox is also affected by the same issue Chrome is, where Flatpak interferes in the sandbox.

Firefox uses literally the Chromium sandbox on Linux, they have for years.

Yep, same way people block all ICMP and then wonder why stuff breaks.

It can help with logic bugs (e.g. by encoding the state machine logic directly in the type system, so an invalid transition won’t compile), and things like data sharing issues (Again, type system, tracks sharable objects vs. those that aren’t), but none of those are as “impervious” as the memory safety stuff.

But that all still requires rearchitecting, because if the existing code already follows those rules, it already probably doesn’t suffer from those issues (e.g. I know you can do the state machine type stuff in C# at least)

But I’m assuming even that is bad to you because ChatGPT was involved.

I think it’s bad because it’s a waste of power, unreliable, and would be much slower than an actual deterministic code formatters that already exist.

They don’t do that anymore in new versions, but you still need to actually use the new version to get that behaviour. It’s a bit of a pain since the “fixed” version is in the MS store, the broken one is a base system component.

It also hits the people who use the terminal the least, anybody who uses it regularly will just install the new shell at the same time they install the new terminal and always get the new clean behaviour.

Ahh, yeah that’s a bit harder, CSS multiline stuff is pretty flaky from what I can recall. You need to drop down to block layout, e.g. making the containing element a flex parent (Better term than that?) and then making the icon centered within that can work, but then we’re back to square one with sizing the icon.

<p><svg class="icon">...</svg> Text</p>

p .icon {
    --size: 1.25em;
    vertical-align: calc(0.5cap - 0.5 * var(--size));
    height: var(--size);
    width: var(--size);
}

Done.

Ehh, I’d pass on Ladybird. I’ve been donating to Servo myself.

I found out yesterday about “UnReal World”, first released in 1992 and it’s been updated continuously since, with the latest update only 3 and a half weeks ago.

Microsoft did.

I just checked my phone, it was on by default for me.

Well no you can translate, but it just seems that nobody has actually made a product to do so.

e.g. those M.2 SSD to USB adapters, those aren’t speaking NVMe to the host device. They either talk the traditional USB “bulk transfer” protocol, or potentially SCSI, translating that to NVMe for the SSD itself.

Man, it sure would be helpful for my argument if I could.

I went back and checked the ones I was looking at, very helpful fine print stating “not for NVEM ssds”, so they all only work with mSATA M.2 SSDs, hell of a let down.

Without NAT/ULA (private ipv6 addresses), your devices are routable by default and must be isolated by explicit policy.

Yes, that’s where the basic firewall configuration comes in.

I’m running native v6 at home, with no private addressing (Since it was never implemented right in OSs unfortunately), each system has it’s own public IP address, and even an entirely unsecured device is protected since there’s still a firewall between my network and the internet.

Especially since you can get M.2 to SATA adapters, so people stuck with SATA only motherboards can still upgrade their storage.

Literally the same deal when companies stopped making IDE drives, people just used SATA to IDE adapters instead.

If you detach the origin from the host it’d work, aka HTTP Alternative Services. Firefox used to (maybe still does? idk) use it to silently switch from using the base hostname to a hidden service when running under Tor, when the site provided the mapping.

Clearnet stuff would work without it, but any I2P/Tor support needs server integration, which would be non-existent at the moment I’d bet.

Git itself (Or any other VCS for that matter) really should treat symlinks as special, similar as to how btrfs stores everything as “reflinks” internally. They be stored as special references to other tracked objects (so it’d be impossible to commit a symlink that pointed at anything other than a checked-in file, and ensure they always match), and git can materialise them as needed.

eg I have a photo of my foot when I broke it off at the ankle.

How on earth did you manage that?

Not really - if a woman came in with a gunshot wound, she’d be asked if she was pregnant. Why? Because she’d need a CT scan or an X-ray, which are ionizing radiation and have a risk for a foetus.

Pretty sure immediate blood loss from a bullet wound trumps hypothetical risks of an x-ray.

Edit: To quote the health department of the state next to me…

Most radiation exposure during medical testing is unlikely to harm a developing baby. Testing is only done if the risk to you or your baby is greater than not doing the test. The ‘risk’ is the increased chance of your unborn baby getting a cancer during their childhood.
