Mr_Figtree, 9 months ago to firefox in How to make Firefox trust a self-signed certificate?

Does the certificate have a basic constraints extension with CA:TRUE set? Firefox doesn't allow that for certificates used as ‘end entity’ certificates. You'll want to re-generate the certificate without the extension.

There is.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to firefox in Firefox still doesn't have PWA support

so I can totally ditch chromium/electron

GNOME Web isn't Chromium-based and does support PWAs, so it might work for your usecase.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to mildlyinfuriating in My office has automatic faucets in the bathroom and I've started sticking my hands under the faucet at home and wondering for a second where the water is.

Someone I know recently switched from automatic bathroom lights to manual ones. Remembering to turn them on isn't an issue, but months later everyone still forgets to turn them off.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to selfhosted in What hostname do you use for server? home.box or home.local?

And .box has been registered as a generic TLD now, so you could run into external .box domains.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to fediverse in Dutch government starts own Mastodon instance as reaction to the instability of Twitter

They're not going to have open signups. It's government agencies only. Not that there's technically anything stopping Germans from joining the PR departments of our government agencies…

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to mildlyinfuriating in So I tried signing up for Twitter to do a little trolling there...

So what you're saying is that Twitter successfully kept out a bad actor.

It's a shame that most of the users they have left are also in that category, but hey, they seem to be working on it.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to tech in Google’s medical AI chatbot is already being tested in hospitals

That's the real AI apocalypse:

• People outsourcing decisions to predictive text because they believe it thinks
• AI hallucinations becoming commonly accepted as truth, as generated articles bury actual knowledge in a flood of bull droppings

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to fedora in UNOFFICIAL poll about OPT-OUT metrics proposal

You'll still have the people who are opposed to any telemetry at all, but I think that would do a lot to alleviate the concerns.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to fedora in UNOFFICIAL poll about OPT-OUT metrics proposal

A poll like this is never going to be representative, unfortunately.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to kbinMeta in Can I override custom styles for magazines?

I'm using kbin Magazine Style Toggle to disable the custom styling on certain magazines, but I had to modify line 36 to make it work:

36c36
<         let style = document.querySelector("head > style:nth-child(22)");
---
>         let style = document.querySelector("head > style:nth-of-type(1)");

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to formula1 in [FIA] Infringement - Car 77 (Bottas) - Failure to provide a fuel sample

Is it likely then that Bottas' car stopped because it simply ran out of fuel? 0.09 litres seems very low.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to firefox in delete all site setting and cookies exceptions on firefox mobile

As far as I know you can't set exceptions on mobile Firefox yet. It's rather annoying.

Mr_Figtree, 10 months ago to fedora in Fedora Project on Mastodon clarifies some things about the telemetry proposal

On top of this not being at all final yet, there's nothing stopping you from just not having it enabled (nothing gets sent until you click through the privacy page with the toggle enabled). Could you explain why it's still such a big deal to you?
