i've conceded defeat by the Hats. You can't remix a distro that won't install.

"don't break Debian!"

and yet, people still Frankendebian, it's a fact of life

i am not learning another less sophsticated ecosystem than the one i just rejected tho tomman

/memfd:mozilla-ipc (deleted) shows up on a lot of ps -A lines, with "Isolated Web Co" using more CPU on average than SM or Chrome. I just updated to 2.53.24 on 1 Aug. Could this be some SM bug stemming from some web page? I have >100 tabs open, and don't recognize Isolated Web Co, which accounts for 25k lines in PS -a output. :p

mastodon.social/@jwz/117055092437643826 meanwhile someone doesn't want visitors to their website anymore

> @shaoyu Yes, I have blocked the entire country of Taiwan.

at least he DOES recognize Taiwan is a country! Oops, JWZ is now banned in China :D

I have blocked all CN user agents :) instead of 300 netblocks

it worked! 2 collateral damages/year

tomman: is that a response to my comment?

a-865: nah, just mentioning some dumb crap from The Father of Mozilla

d|ver: meanwhile I had to file a complaint at my web hosting because noone at Turkey could access my website

(I have two legit users there)

turns out they did had a blocklist they hadn't disclosed, including the whole of Singapore and Turkey

:/

I guess my website is so irrelevant slop bots have largely ignored it so far

Fortunately they agreed to lift the blocks for Turkey, once I asked nicely

told them that while I agree that we live in a eternal threatscape of doom in the slop era, blocking legit users to my website is never acceptable

mine too, but 6 motnths ago it was linked from a sample sit with 5 million samples, each containing a link to my site, so the insanity started

These days I mostly use my webhosting space as a glorified email and imagehost

I fought months agains IP blocks, then they made a mistake, using CN user agent ;)

one rule to rule them all!!1

meta, google, etc... are easier to block, fucking chineees

Ironically, that reminds me the one time I had someone trying to DoS my home gear, back in my public DHCPv4 over ADSL years

some idiot was trying to bruteforce SSH on my routerbox...

...which was bringing that lowly Pentium MMX @225MHz down to its knees, begging for mercy

turned out to be a IP from a Tencent datacenter at Singapore

haha

the whole machine would turn unresponsive with, what, 5 concurrent connections of bruteforcing?

had to physically unplug the modem, move the SSH server to another port (it was already on a non-standard one!), and edit my WAN MAC address to get a fresh IP from the pools

In the 2000s I had a DIY DSL linux router with an extra monitor running a live tcpdump viewer

every minute cam a UPD packet CKCKCAAAAAAAAAA from mostly Guangdong/China

And after checking the box login records, turns out that pest had been trying to break in from different IPs, but didn't bothered launching a bruteforce attack

netbios worm exploit ;)

Except that this was a Debian box

... a veeeeeeery underpowered Debian Stable box

the linux router could be booted from a 1.8MB formatted floppy

but I added a HD later ;)

the days where everything was unencrypted

and you could follow the traffic live in real time

if you didn't click anything, no traffic

now watching the live trafffic makes no sense at all

same for regmon/filemon

I ran that Pentium box as my main router until July 2022... when a power surge killed it for good

thunderstorms killed 2 DSL modems and one fritz box :/

then I started to panic whenever a storm came in, pulling all plugs ;)

MozArella (just saying)

ahh.. one more: MozArt

Does SM have some way to show what FF shows with URL about:processes?

would be in about:about ?

what else might it be called?

about:performance

?

more

seamonkey uses 1 process

killall got rid of the 25k processes offender, but if it returns I want to get more info

on windows...

100 tabs, 25k processes is not in my universe thinkable

even on a thinkpad?

10 tabs.. why leave the other ones open?

nice pebcak I did here, turning it off and on again is actually appealing...

pfffff... Oracle says it loves AI-written code, just not in OpenJDK

i like cocaine, but not in my nose

rectal only, plz

hey, i just came across a certificate error on the main website

works for me

english SM, uses windows locale ;)

meanwhile: Meta wins "epic fail", Microsoft wins "lamest vendor response"

what did happen now?
