I agree with the sentiment, but in this case Mozilla is a non-profit.

And before someone jumps in… Yes, Mozilla Corporation is technically for profit, but it’s 100% owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.

Wanted to see if I could do anything exciting with the new Satisfactory dedicated server API. There’s no documentation of it anywhere online, but there’s a random markdown file documenting it in the installation directory. Got it working but turns out it can’t do much. Oh well

I think that’s my main complaint with the game. Once you find a way to beat the boss, you just go for that build every time. It’s so punishing and the path to get there is so long, that it’s a massive disincentive to try new things.

I’m currently using Unraid for pretty much every thing you listed, and I love it so much. I really appreciate being able to set up almost everything through the web interface. It makes my hobbies feel fun rather than just an extension of my day job.

That said, I bought the licence before they switched to a subscription model. So if I were starting over I might look into free alternatives.

You can still buy a lifetime subscription for Unraid, it’s just a lot more expensive.

The mere fact this technology exists gives legislators a tool in their toolbox. I could imagine a future where the EU mandates use of PPA in certain circumstances.

You may not care about financial shit, but that doesn’t change the reality of the situation. My point is precisely that the financial costs are so prohibitive, that the most likely scenario is that no one will be capable of stepping up long term.

As soon as there’s another spectre level security incident that requires a massive rewrite of the engine, any rendering engine developers with sub 100M budgets are sunk. Frankly 100M is probably being optimistic.

Cool makes sense, thanks for the reply! And yeah, I don’t think I’m quite there yet.

Out of curiosity, what’s the benefit of splitting those?

I’ve been meaning to try Caddy, but I just can’t even imagine something simpler than NginxProxyManager.

I too am skeptical.

Mozilla cares a lot about performance. It is monitored obsessively and there are entire teams dedicated to squeezing out every last drop of performance. Heaven and earth would be moved for a 30% perf boost. I’m guessing either there’s some very severe tradeoffs to these prefs, or setting them somehow breaks the methodology used to obtain this number.

Edit: also benchmarks can be notoriously misleading. I don’t have any opinions or knowledge on basemark (the benchmark used to get this 30% number), but speedometer v3 is the most state of the art and generally agreed upon benchmark for performance these days.

That doesn’t mean the 30% number is bogus… Just that it should be followed by “…on basemark” rather than implying it’s conclusive to overall performance.

This is the best take I’ve seen on the whole kerfuffle so far.

I don’t think anyone is asking you to stop blocking ads. Block away!

I think the only request defenders of PPA are making, is please don’t actively prevent it from making things better for everyone else.

Yes, all great points. But you’re comparing the wrong thing. The comparison isn’t PPA vs no ads. It’s PPA vs being personally targeted by ad companies. It’s clearly a step in the right direction.

Or I can tell advertisers to eat shit and give them nothing, like I’ve been doing my whole life. Has been working well so far

Now your getting it! Yes, just keep using an ad blocker and tell advertisers to fuck off! That’s exactly what we can all continue doing, and this PPA stuff will have 0 impact on us. But it will improve the lives of everyone not using ad blockers.

If you’re plugging a USB drive into my home server, then I have bigger problems than malware.

I think you have a very optimistic view on how far crowd sourcing this is going to take us.

BTW, you think web developers aren’t already using editors that use AI to generate alt text automatically? AI alt text is going to be everywhere regardless.

Also I’m not saying that’s a good thing. It’s just an inevitable thing.

If your goal is to help people transition to that future, would you engage with the people who are already there?

3. doesnt have time, unassigns themselves

Because someone else took over, as the person even says in a comment.

4. Priority gets set lower

Priority got set back to the priority it was at 4 minutes before. The priority being changed was clearly a mistake.

5. A guy wants to work on it
6. That guy doesnt work at Mozilla anymore

OK?

7. The bug went from priority P5 to P1 and doesnt block anything anymore

It got retriaged. There are processes for this and it’s totally normal.

This is really bad. Especially as it seems like not that big of a change.

No it really isn’t bad at all. And it’s a massive change, the linked bug is a meta bug which means it is simply used to track the actual work. See all the bugs in the depends on section? That’s where the real work happens and there has been a ton of progress made.

Also believe it or not, lots of discussion happens outside of bugs. You really have no idea what is going on just by looking at bug activity.
