@jeff I don't remember the details, it was in mid to late 2000s, like 15 years ago or so — it was way easier back then, browsers didn't have preloaded HSTS lists (or whatever that shit is called?) — that's for sure, HTTPS wasn't even enforced, most probably it was plain HTTP web-server that did a redirect to another domain, somehow worked.
At least they couldn't start watching it while I was in the other room — damn, it sounds so childish now 😂

@gemlog There are days when I'm just hanging around Fedi all day, losing connection on such a day would be a bummer, but otherwise I'm mostly fine — barely depend on these things, use them only as means of communication like one is supposed to.
Losing Wikipedia would be a pity though, you're right about that.

@gemlog I'm not even relying on it as on source of knowledge — I still mostly read paper books, I never was into streaming, I have an extensive collection of music and a lot of it on CDs, I have movies and TV shows that I won't be able to watch through in a couple of years I think.
During COVID summer I've been living with GPRS-like connection in terms of bandwidth, but I barely used even that. Not really off grid, as I still had electricity and sometimes even running cold water. It was nice.

Meta: let us all be Threads now. Oops, I mean friends, sorry. Yeah, friends! 😏

@gemlog Yeah, it's not that bad these days – there is room for maneuver!

@gemlog w3m is still useful for websites without JS — Nitter is perfectly usable in it and with sixel-capable term you can even have inline images.
There are in fact a lot of websites the work well in w3m, but we'd better migrate to Gemini anyway and leave the web to corporate AI-cloud bullshit 🤪

@gemlog Major downside of FF screenshooter is that it copies image data to clipboard in PNG — those are huge if what you are capturing has images, there is no way to configure this — but you can download/save it as a file, then I open it in imv and there I have a shortcut Ctrl+Shift+J that converts it to jpeg with ffmpeg and copies the resulting file's path to clipboard — so I can paste it to other software — a hassle, but nothing big.

@gemlog No, of course I use other tools in addition to it — a combination of grim and slurp, I have shortcuts to save region to jpeg or png, depending on shortcut, and copy filename to clipboard so I can switch to gomuks for example, and do "/upload", Ctrl+Shift+V — and there it is, no GUI tools involved.
But for web it's still useful, like for long threads or when I don't want to aim to select the post 😂
And I'm tied to Firefox for web anyway. I use w3m too —no elements to select there 😆

@jeff There was time when youtube.com in my home LAN was redirected to something else because when you invite your friends over for a few beers at certain point someone would suggest watching YT — and I used to fscking hate it 🤣
And at one point I've had an open wireless access point (isolated from LAN) configured the same way, like: "Use it if you want, just not for THIS"

@gemlog It's not always perfect, especially on "infinite scrolling" websites, but in most cases I use it for it gets the job done. It also snaps to the edges of the element you are about to capture the same way AdBlock picker does — it highlights the element when you hover over it, comes in handy sometimes. In case you want to try it out, it's Ctrl+Shift+S, but maybe you have to enable something in about:config to enable advanced features — I don't remember, if that's the case, I did it long ago

@gemlog I think it's mostly targeted at web developers as the only distinct feature is that it knows what a web page is — it can capture more than you see on your screen, suitable for making screenshots of long threads like this one here: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/110661667821062373
The only other way to do it is to print the page to PDF, convert to JPEG and crop it. Maybe there are extensions which do it better — I don't know, but why when there is a built-in one 🤷

@jeff Exactly! No hardcoded blocked instances in client software, instance software — anywhere. Let users and admins decide who bad actors are themselves.
I know we have a special case here, but it would set a very bad precedent. Look at fediblock, it's not about teenagers using n-word for "trolling" anymore, it literally: "I dunno what's wrong with this instance, but it federates with some instances I might have not liked in the past and I don't remember reason for that either, blocked"

@3dnews Просто отпала необходимость — все перешли на @catgpt

@metallcorn
Я и сам был стримершей Кариной первое время, особенно по части мЭмных вещей. Но потом втянулся 😁
@cauf

@metallcorn Ну так-то да, котики по субботам — caturday, в четверг обнажёнка, а в среду — лягушки или «Вот это неделька!» 🤣
Ха-ха-ха, снизу слева оказывается просто ящик с мягкими стенками и ручкой, а на уменьшенной копии выглядит чуть ли не как постер какой-то, ну типа…
Кот крутой! 😸
@cauf

Looks like font.size.systemFontScale is gone in Firefox 105 and everything is smol again. There might have been a lot of incentives for removing it — breaking screenshooting feature for one, if the var vas set to anything but 100, screenshot region wasn't scaled accordingly and you got cropped screenshots or empty space around what you wanted.
Now there is ui.textScaleFactor that does the same and works, but screenshots are still skewered. What was the point then? 🤔

@psychictides Sure, let's have that some time later.

@gabriel But as you grow older, you realize that people just can't get along and you have to get rid of all the bad ones to fix things 😂

@gabriel It's when you go to Heaven and Hell at the same time and everyone has a party. Free drinks!

@psychictides Sorry, not serial killers, main characters are hitmen — hired killers, anyway, not nice guys. But they are put in situations when nothing goes as expected, and instead of being violent they are doing things that just look stupid.
Well, I'm getting poor with words, looks like I'm tired — have to take a break from Fedi for today, maybe watch a movie 😅
Have a nice day or whatever you're having!
