I strongly suspect that this book is little more than LLM output, based both on the writing itself and the existence of https://github.com/AdrianMastronardi/bookwright. I find it despicable that the "author" did not disclose this.

> Using LegacyFox means I have to build/make it after every update of Firefox, right?
Nope! Installing once is enough.
As long as you're upgrading in-place (which you probably do), it will stay persistent, since Legacyfox doesn't overwrite files provided by Firefox.

Hi, I'm the maintainer/"janitor keeping the lights on" for VimFx. It still works on up-to-date Firefox versions, as long as you copy a litte bit of javascript in Firefox' install directory[1].
> Vimium these days does not work when a page hasn't finished loading and it doesn't work on blank pages (about:blank) or any other "system page"
This is the single thing that makes the (current) Webextension framework unusable for such extensions, and the reason I keep working on VimFx.

>It does contain a bit more information than required, such as the specifics of the vaccine.
between eu member states, the acceptance of e.g. sputnik-v (the russian corona vaccine) varies. having the name (or id) of the vaccine in the code allows countries who don't recognize a given vaccine to validate codes issued by other eu nations, who are more open to such a vaccine. (what a horriblly worded sentence, i hope you get what i'm trying to say)

well, i've written that code quite hastily, and mostly for my own need. i'd guess, the most likely cause would be a missing libzbar.

First, the music itself wasn't written by me, but by Rob Miles[1]. So I had a version in C available. I then iteratively transformed the code into simpler and simpler expressions, and finally into a simulated assembly language, written as C macros[2]. Only the final step, initializing peripherals, stetting up interrupt handlers, etc was done with the actual chips. Of course, I made some erros with the before mentioned C macros, so some final debugging was trial-and-error. Later on I also used simulators, but they don't support all the necessary features of the MCUs, or were outright broken[3] (patches now upstream).

Hi, author here. What a nice surprise to see my project turn up here :)
If you have any questions, shoot!

Happy Holidays, HN!
Serles-ACME is a small (1300 LoC) Python ACME server that you can hook up to your existing PKI. We have written an adaptor for the Free-as-in-Freedom and Free-as-in-Beer EJBCA Community Edition, or you can write one for your PKI in about 10-20 lines (patches/pulls very welcome).
We are DVTirol[1], the IT provider for the federal government of the state of Tyrol, Austria, and have developed this tool for our internal use, and have been running it for some time now for our servers. And given that the existing solutions are prohibitively expensive[2] or not available[3] at all, we decided to make the source available for you to profit from it, too!
The documentation, including setup instructions for Serles-ACME and EJBCA, live at https://serles-acme.readthedocs.io/ . We intend to provide a CI/CD pipline for unit testing and pypi-publishing[4] after the holidays (unit test coverage is already at 100%), so stay tuned for that.
Who this is for:
- You want to build up you own PKI, either for company or home use
- You want to automate the issuing process for all your devices/servers
- You already using another PKI Software and want to use certbot with it
Please let us know if you're using it, or contribute backend adaptors for your PKI!

given that the outage affects redirector.googlevideo.com and youtube.com/get_video_info, but as you say, not the f3---<something>.googlevideo.com domains serving the actual streams, i suspect they have problems with the database storing where streams are actually hosted.

and now youtube.com/get_video_info, the undocumented endpoint for querying (among other things) streaming urls, is broken as well. returns "Video ID is invalid." or "An error occurred. Please try again later."

yep. thinking it over, that makes more sense. amended my comment

doing a `curl -v https://redirector.googlevideo.com` (the host you'll connect to before getting redirected to the actual mp4/m4a streams) opens a tls connection (and gives a cert), but it then hangs for two minutes, before returning a 502.
i'd wager some database storing info about the streams crashed :^D (given that it also crashes on /, it's more likely something else)

Regarding Fedora's Firefox: The Fedora Firefox mainainers, Martin Stransky and Jan Horak, are also the main maintainers of the Linux/GTK parts of Firefox. The VAAPI patches you've mentioned are (afair) mostly-if-not-all Martin's work. So he's not applying some rando's "untested" patches.
