How long will Firefox survive, given market share and likely demise of main income source: Google Search (via Thom – Exquisite.social)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/11
Interesting take of which I was subconsciously aware for a while as well: [Wayback/Archive] Thom :linux: :kde: :systemd:: “My concerns about the future o…” – Exquisite.social
My concerns [www.osnews.com] about the future of Firefox keep becoming reality [www.osnews.com] and yet nobody who relies on Firefox – Canonical, Fedora, KDE, GNOME, etc. – seem to give a shit.
Y’all realise Mozilla is about to lose 80% of its revenue, right? And y’all do understand what this will mean for Firefox, right? Why aren’t you taking any steps or making any plans to prepare for what this will inevitably mean for the most important and crucial desktop Linux application?
I feel like Kassandra [en.wikipedia.org] over here.
It is not a Desktop Linux problem alone: it is a Firefox problem at heart which will also (and in much larger numbers) affect other platforms as it also means one less browser engine: the Gecko browser engine used by Firefox and other browsers highly depends on Mozilla funding.
Given the long lasting keyboard productivity problems in Firefox on MacOS and Windows (even without any extensions installed), I don’t think that my frequency of Firefox usage will increase beyond occasional use.
A few examples hampering power usage of Firefox:

Welkom in de onzichtbare vinkjesmaatschappij – Rules by Rosita (want het gaat slecht met mensenrechten voor gehandicapten in Nederland)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/10
Belangrijke blog-post: [Wayback/Archive] Welkom in de onzichtbare vinkjesmaatschappij – Rules by Rosita
De onzichtbare vinkjes zorgen ervoor dat er aan de ene kant veel onduidelijk is over wie met welke beperking wel/geen recht heeft op bepaalde onderdelen van deelname in de maatschappij, en aan de andere kant dat mensen zonder beperkingen geen idee hebben welke onderdelen dat geldt.
Velen beseffen niet hoe makkelijk je zomaar eens een beperking kunt krijgen (hallo ongelukkige struikelpartij!) en als je dit bijvoorbeeld na je 18e overkomt je ineens geen recht op Wajong meer hebt.
In 2016 – bijna 10 jaar nadat het verdrag ontstond – ratificeerde Nederland pas het VN-verdrag inzake de rechten van personen met een handicap (meest afgekort tot “VN-verdrag handicap” of “VN verdrag handicap”). Helaas is er sinds de 8 jaar na ratificering nog maar weinig gebeurd, sterker: er is zelfs achteruitgang volgens de introductie op [Wayback/Archive] Persportaal ANP: Nederland moet zich verantwoorden bij de Verenigde Naties

Inline drying of 3D printer fillament?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/09
A promising video:
[Wayback/Archive] Why are we drying filament this way? – YouTube
The trick is blowing warm air over the fillament strand while it is pulled through some tin cans.
This also works for drying used (and therefore wettened) silica gel beads on a 3D printer heat bed.

It looks like Fritz!Box rebinding protection also prevents accessing a FritzBox over a SSH port forwarding
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/09
For quite some times my back-up way to access a Fritz!Box when the VPN itself failed was to SSH into a system behind it and use SSH port forwarding to access the Fritz!Box.
Seems that only works for older models with older firmware versions, but newer models with newer firmware now give a rebinding protection error.
I am not sure why it does this as technically there is no [Wayback/Archive] DNS rebinding – Wikipedia.
Regrettably, I could not find a way around this from the links below.

Newer WordPress bookmarklets for navigating from a blog post to the classic editor, or getting the canonical url anchor of a blog post
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/08
Last year I posted about Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs.
It depended on HighlanderComments to exist in order for getting its .connectURL which contains the canonical blog post URL (i.e. from https://wiert.me it obtains https://wiert.wordpress.com).
Nowadays HighlanderComments does not always exist, but in that case <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="https://wiert.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd"> does exist.
Its’ href value can be obtained by querying document.querySelector('link[rel="EditURI"]').href and truncate it, so I made some conditional code that first tries the HighlanderComments and defers code obtaining it from the link element I mentioned above.
I also added proper Bookmarklet wrappers so the function results don’t leak to the console or Browser (Firefox really does not like Bookmarklets without this wrapper).
javascript:(function(){
//Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();
Firefox also dislikes pasting code into the development console.

The regexp for an emoticon ?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/08
I responded to [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com on Twitter: “@0xD4ni @Twitter What is the regexp for an emoticon ?” with [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@jilles_com @0xD4ni @Twitter \p{So}+ See …”.
I got the answer from [Wayback/Archive] java – What is the regex to extract all the emojis from a string? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] vishalaksh, and [Wayback/Archive] Desgard_Duan) which refers to the quoted section below.
Note that correctly matching highly depends on the versions of the libraries you use: there have been lots of releases of Unicode versions over the last years (since 2014 roughly every 12 months) each usually adding more Emoji.
In addition, many Emoji are not single Unicode codepoints: often they are code points (with or without any of the variation selectors) stacked on top of each other with zero-width joiners like I described in Kris on Twitter: “Company chat: »Right, we need more languages with Emoji as variable type indicators and pointer symbols.«….
I tried fiddling on [Wayback/Archive] regex101: build, test, and debug regex and could not always getting it to work as I hoped for, but also could not figure out how recent their libraries are.
