Firefox stops loading pages seemingly at random, shows NS_BINDING_ABORTED, have to restart (lemmy.world)

Sometimes I’ll be browsing Firefox and things go wrong seemingly at random - all pages load indefinitely or show a screen indicating failure to load. This can be fixed by running pkill firefox and then starting a new instance. A look at Dev Tools shows that all requests fail and a message NS_BINDING_ABORTED is shown. I have...

I don’t have time to browse all the tried solutions but this happens to me when my DNS gets wonky, especially systemd-resolved with dnssec enabled sometimes just stops resolving random domains, even with allow-downgrade.

Our [New Scientist] writers pick their favourite science fiction books of all time (www.newscientist.com)

This is an interesting list. It’s missing some of the true great classics, like Frankenstein, and it has a number of unusual, less well known titles, but there’s a lot to like on it. There’s certainly a lot for people to disagree about, but it may well have your less often cited favorites, too. What do you think?

taaz,

Long Earth was good, lots of classics here as well

Does anyone here already have daily-driving experience with the NVK? Couldn’t find much information about general stability, no even Arch Wiki has a specific page for it (which could be considered a good sign in a way).

There is also github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch but the absence of offline local client was always a blocker

Do you have a more complicated shell history scheme than the distro default?

I’ve used distrobox more and more and am at the point where I need to start saving and integrating history differently. Or like, when I’m installing and building something complicated, I need to start saving that specific session’s history. I am curious what others might be doing and looking for simple advice and ideas.

taaz, (edited )

I have been pretty content with just zsh with fzf - extends the ctrl+R with interactive fuzzy search across the history.

In theory some session like behaviour should be easy to make with a little script that changes $HISTFILE

If you need to install an executable python program, use pipx it will create special environment for the python program so it won’t break anything else in the system but it only works on packages (pipx install some-package) that have entry scripts (so can be called directly, libraries usually do not have that as you use them from other python program).

In short that error you get that tells you to use zypper is there for an important reason.

taaz, (edited )

pipx won’t work for that, it’s a library.

If you are working on your own project/script, you should use virtualenv for development and install all required libraries there.
If you need it because some system installed application or part of your system does not work without it then… you are in bad place - pip is python package manager primarily used for general python development (installing depending packages, and in theory also for packaging python projects) but it should never be used as system wide package manager - you will break stuff (especially when used with sudo).

taaz,

You will want to use virtualenv, it creates isolated “workspace” so that system (python) packages do not conflict or mix.

docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

taaz, (edited )

Using pip to install packages outside of venv was always a risk, (newer) pip now has this mechanism to really drive the point home that this can break stuff.

Do I have to do this everytime I start the script via console?

Yes, one way to get rid of this requirement is to package the script as binary/executable package (add pyproject.toml with some sane defaults and with proper [project.scripts]) and then install the project using pipx - pipx install -e path/to/the/project/, the -e flag stands for editable and is nice to have here as you won’t have to reinstall everytime you change the script.
What pipx does is that it creates the local virtualenv, installs everything the package declares as needed and adds a special executable script into location like ~/.local/bin/ that first sources the venv and then starts the entry script - keeping everything isolated.

taaz,

Afaik you have to replicate the same wave but in opposite “direction” (up/down sinus) to cancel out incoming sound so any anc earbuds have to have microphones and are dynamically shaping the sound.

taaz,

The first time her videos popped up on my feed I couldn’t believe it’s not some elaborate joke, but shes great

taaz,

For me, Steam (on Linux) has been periodically corrupting the ntfs disk, I do use it on windows too and not even win hybrid/fastboot/hibernation disabled helps.

May I see what mount options you use for the ntfs3 driver in fstab? I do not currently have the nocase and windows_names …

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can’t even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If...

Also afaik it only works in fullscreen on Linux (and in programs that support it).

taaz,

Tried organic pop after playing a lot of Machine gestalts and holy shit there was so much extra micro stuff, leaders dying (this one is big the popup does not always have camera follow button), leaders getting new traits …

I went back to MI because it’s just so much simple to manage.

Yeah NX is probably not going to be an easy one to implement.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_technologyScrolling down to NX Derivatives And Forks will quickly get you a picture about the state and licenses.

taaz,

I haven’t played since the forced psn account but once I get back I am gonna temp-mail it until I find one that works.

Ain’t giving them a single extra PI.

taaz,

But this happened after the Epic acquisition though, the game had Linux support from day one then Sweany came in.

Rocke League before Epic was great and I wouldn’t consider Psyonix a bad company.

taaz,

I know HEALTH.
Are you telling me I have been listening to cum metal?
