I see a lot of #closedsource browsers selling themselves as better alternatives to #firefox after the terms of use backlash. I would say firefox is still better. A web browser can know everything about your online life - your web browsing habits, passwords, payment methods, documents etc.

A closed source browser can do anything with your information and evade detection. They may add #enshittification in the future. This is the business model that lead to #googlechrome .

So, in my opinion a web browser has to be open source. Then anyone can inspect it before entrusting it with private information. You can modify or remove things that you don't want too. Remember #waterfox, #zenbrowser, #ironfox, #cromite and #librewolf etc exist because firefox and chromium are #opensource.

I've deliberately kept quiet observing what the Android did, for a few weeks, when I finally was able to get it past the bootloop.

Yes I've done it, now normal boot

The caveat is that the phone likes starting up normal, so much, that it does it all by itself at random, without warning signal or screaming.

Now I just need to stabilize the phone.
At this point, it's just a camera that you power off

I bought a #BambuLab P1S as it was the best hardware at the time, and while I wasn’t happy with the #closedsource aspect of it I accepted it because of the LAN mode and being able to use it without any of their software.

This move will however functionally destroy LAN mode and insert Bambu into every aspect and step of the printing process creating a slippery slope of DRM / and potential for blocking certain prints.

I recommend everyone stop updating your bambu printer, if you have an X1 series printer I would suggest flashing the X1Plus firmware, and as a P1S owner I hope this project for a #klipper mainboard takes off: github.com/ChazLayyd/Bambu-Lab

All About BambuBambu Lab set to introduce some authorization control mostly breaking third-party integrationIn a somewhat surprising announcement yesterday, Bambu Lab announced they will release a new firmware for the X series, introducing an “authorization and authentication protection mechanism for the connection and control of Bambu Lab 3D printers.” P and A Series updates are also planned for future release. This is linked to the change we reported in the […]

My ISP has many SPF (single points of failure
First start with terms FTTC FTTH (FTTP also) Check the wikipedia page.

About 26hrs ago (exactly at 02:01) the following services of my ISP died all together in sync

VOIP (phone voice) XDSL GSM LTE+. I noticed the warning my router gave & the gateway going red and dead. No calls were possible, since the GSM networks also died for me.

How? FTTC we have FTTC small expensive boxes (1.30m 40cm 1.20m) besides the streets. Mine dropped itself hard along with wireless servers in my area. Why? Neglected maintanance. Result catastropic drop of ALL services for 2+hours!

I went into comms survival mode (with my tranceivers) Those were fine of course. Why is there no second route to the servers when my main FTTC box fails? Greed & logistics.

The ISP never told me what happened. A friend inside gave me some data. As a monopolist th ISP has too much technical power over us. There's a FTTH project running, which will at least drop the FTTC network boxes besides the roads. However that project should have been FTTH only. Instead they made a terrible mix of FTTH & FTTC. The mix was made with corruption in the background because the FTTC network is cheaper. Also when they put you on the FTTH network they still deliver absimal XDSL speeds.

The provider has also made a mistake of putting the network FTTH above ground. So every time someone slams the telephone poles down that Network also goes down with all your communications. That means you will have no VoIP no Data, which means a total cut off from what could be a lifeline, when it comes down to the VoIP service, for which the phone providers on my continent still have to give 48 volts of DC power to the phone lines for a whole week after power utility has been cut off. They are forced to do so by Law of the Land.

I haven't bothered to power the Xiaomi Note 12s Android anymore. I consider the device a total loss

However I continue here because my other Xiaomi Android did something quite nasty a couple of hours ago. I uninstalled FB Lite. Shortly before, the programme triggered a full logout of all my Google accounts on the device!

¡Meta went mental!

I am still busy logging myself into the accounts again!
