  • Hmm, don’t think you should need to compile it yourself? They offer downloads for Windows and macOS, and on Linux, the normal Firefox from the distro sources generally already has this compile flag enabled, as far as I know.

    I mean, I actually never had a need for unsigned extensions, so never tried it myself, and obviously I wouldn’t know, if every single distro does it the same.

    As for wanting to contribute to the statistics, I do understand that desire. But I believe, for the most part, it’s the user agent that counts. I doubt, they would set that to something else in the unbranded builds…




  • Posteo is mostly just a deployment of RoundCube.

    Mind you, I do assume they have deployment scripts and code for handling payments and such, which aren’t open-source.

    I also have to say, though, a hosted service using open-source is *nice*, because they will hopeful contribute back to that, but it’s not much beyond that.
    You cannot know, whether they actually run the software that they publish in their repository, so auditing the open-source code hardly tells you anything about the trustworthiness of the actual service.





  • For me, the green part is: Because I used them while cooking and don’t want to get anything else dirty.

    I’m still adjusting to them for eating (should probably cut/choose my veggies, noodles etc. to rather be long+thin). But for cooking, I do find them quite good.

    I can use wooden chopsticks in my non-stick pan. And they’re really useful for stirring food, as you can just hold them close together (or use a single stick), when the food is prone to spilling.

    I don’t yet have the dexterity to always successfully flip foods in my frying pan with chopsticks, but it’s not like I have that with other utensils. Whether chopsticks, spatula or fork, it’s always a fiddly bugger.

    One of the first games we had as kids, was The Broken Land, a shitty Diablo knockoff.
    It was our favorite game. The map consisted of a big castle, which we were really struggling to conquer. But I mean, you don’t want the whole game to be beatable so easily, so it was fine.

    There was one thing, though, we didn’t understand. A vendor outside the castle had an inventory slot, where you could place gemstones, but it didn’t do anything. Unfortunately, we couldn’t check the manual, because the game came as part of a collection.

    After actual years, we suddenly placed an armor in one slot and a gemstone in the other and it enchanted the armor.

    So, we started enchanting all our gear and suddenly, the castle was easy.
    In the castle, you could rescue a mage, which casually doubled your party strength.
    And the mage told you to head East, where there was a portal to …the second level.

    All these years, we were stuck in the first level of actually quite a lengthy game. All these years, we thought you’d just play with a single character. All these years, we were biting our teeth out, because we hadn’t grokked one specific game mechanic.

    But also, we liked it even beforehand. So, you cannot imagine how blown away we were, when the game suddenly opened up to be so much more.

    Still a shitty Diablo knockoff, though.
