  • I’m not as enraged by this as most, but I think the true test will be to see if this feature is disabled by default in future releases. If they actually do listen to their users, that’s better than any of the other big players.

    I read a bit about the new “feature” and it seems to me that they’re trying out a way to allow ad companies to know if their advertisement was effective in a way that also preserves the privacy of the user. I can respect that. I did shut it off, but am also less concerned because I have multiple advertisement removal tools, so this feature is irrelevant.

    The fact that it’s enabled by default isn’t comforting, but who would actually turn this on if it were buried in about:config? In order to prove its effectiveness to promote a privacy respecting but advertisement friendly mechanism, this is what they felt that they had to do.

    Of course, I could easily be all wrong about this and time will tell.




  • 🤦‍♀️ I’ve never considered this, but it’s the simplest solution and makes perfect sense. I’m always so diligent to keep my system clean to save a few megs.

    This particular server is an old PowerEdge server I’m using to learn server stuff on and a practice home lab. Unfortunately, it won’t boot from SD card, so I have a few DVD RW’s in a drawer. I’ve read that there’s a SD slot inside that you can emulate a floppy, but haven’t explored it.

    In the early kernel (think pre 1.0), I “fixed” the CPU scheduler for performance. I gave too much privilege to user processes, who refused to relinquish control back to the OS.

    Another time I was working on a multiprocess bootup configuration (before systemd) in a configuration where the main process would orchestrate the workers. Well, the main process would fork a child to do the work, then the child process would fork a child process to do it’s work. It was infinite delegation and I ran out of pids.

    It really depends on your needs. At the companies I’ve worked for, they require some sort of support and guaranteed security, usually in the form of a contract. I do recall a note in the docs about using an external DB for HA, so probably check that out. Finally, what’s the availability and resiliency requirements? That may impact your decision. Finally, you may be able to try it out in a nonproduction environment and save some dough while evaluating it’s viability.
