Q: When is a link not a link?
A: When it's actually a button masquerading as a link.

Would someone be able to tell me why #Swale District Council decided to eschew the humble tag and use instead?

The upshot, if you middle-click on a thing (to open it in a new tab), nothing happens 😡

@noratrieb@hachyderm.io while most of what you have said is true, if the messaging is to remain, it needs some nuance adding about what the cause of the error actually is as it's currently factually wrong. I disagree that the client (the User Agent, in this case the browser) is "part of the website".

Latest #firefox #ESR (v149.0) appears to have stopped reporting the HTTP error code when something goes wrong… in this case for a 403. It used to include the HTTP code and some useful words.

In this error, it looks like the connection just didn't work rather than we got an error from the server.

Is there a way to turn this back on?

My search has, thus far, been fruitless so I am asking here as a last ditch attempt …

I am looking for a self-hostable web based application to be an inventory of the (real, rather than e-) #books in the house. It should be able to accept a list of #ISBNs as input for importing items and look them up (with covers) to ingest their metadata.

It doesn't need #library style circulation (I don't want to run a library so don't want #Koha or equivalent)

I've been using #HomeBox which is ok but only understands "things" rather than "books" (I've written a isbn2homebox script to make that easier). I'd like something purpose designed for books though.

Does anyone use anything like this? There are plenty of free or subscription things available online, but I want to run this myself.

Thanks ☺️

In the context of releasing updated packages that fix critical vulnerabilities, what does "Will be published imminently" actually mean?

I'm looking at #Canonical (@ubuntu@ubuntu.social) right now, as some of the packages to mitigate #CrackArmor on Azure have been saying that since, at least, Monday.

Any indication of a concrete date for this to be available?

So it turns out #Microsoft have never "fixed" the stupidity in #NPS where, when you get a new #certificate into the local computer store, you have to Open the PEAP settings screen and click ok (not actually change anything) to get it to pick up the new cert.

Adding blur around the player they want you to focus on seems a bit… much. Just cos you can do something doesn't mean you should.

And if you must do it, make it less obvious!

I have two main requirements when it comes to computers (or digital devices in general)…

  • Decent #hardware that serves me rather than having rules baked in that stop me doing things (not possibly on most mobile handsets right now)
  • Decent #software that serves me rather than doing the changing bidding of big-tech/ad-tech overlords

That shouldn't be so hard…
