  I had no idea such an article exists, LOL 😂 Sadly, it's no longer available on Forbes website, but can probably add still be found in some archives. But yeah, is Linux for losers? Two decades later it became clearer — it kinda is 😩

  Oh my! I've been seriously underestimating the importance of NOT using a low-powered ARM machine from 20 years ago in conservative powersaving mode as proxy… This is me connected to Squid over a SSH tunnel, which is then tunnelled to Luxembourg over Wireguard. But this machine isn't even my router, the router then wraps it in a tunnel that allows me using IPv6 with entry point in, I believe, Poland… And it's still not half bad!

  So. Cloudflare challenges no longer work in Firefox 115 ESR, which is by the way still supported by Mozilla.

Their interactive troubleshooting page suggests disabling ResistFingerpring and HTML5 Canvas randomisation — yeah-yeah, "latest SECURITY features" 😏 Well, I suppose no more garbage web for me 🤷 There is still a viable migration path to Librewolf.

  Central heating is gone and #cats do not seem to be enjoying it this cold #catuesday (4⁰C outside). #fediCats Update: okay, snac2 doesn't seem to like attachments without extensions posted via Mastodon API, so here they are. Take 2.

  Damn, being a little late I just finished building old Firefox ESR — 115.34.0 for all my computers having different architectures… And they release 115.35.0!
