ancient calculator bc is required to build the linux kernel lol, needed to generate some header files

linux sometimes really does, as the early simpsons episode says, "pull a homer" (to succeed despite idiocy)

Compare the pair ('allow ssh traffic' for the least shitty linux firewall 'nftables' versus openbsd's 'pf'):

nftables (on alpine linux, each rule in a separate file for some crazy reason):

#!/usr/sbin/nft -f

table inet filter {
chain input {
tcp dport 22 accept comment "accept SSH"
}
}

pf:
pass in proto tcp to port 22

Super annoyingly Librewolf (and Firefox) create a Downloads dirbeven if you have another location specified for downloads, there is no way to stop it.

It does not appear till u close librewolf (like a bird shitting on you as it flies away)

I have done a script (called librewolf, earlier in the PATH than the real executable) to remove the kibble from my home dir:

#!/usr/bin/mksh

/usr/bin/librewolf && wait
sleep 1 && wait
rm -rf Downloads

@Jain@blob.cat is this on android? i noticed slow startups on my android apps. much snappier after using lilly dns changer and picking dns servers for it in my city. also check the dns setting in fennec, maybe its routing alldns queries via its inbuilt secure dns or whatever its called

@ity@estradiol.city my conspiracy theory is that map developers deliberately make their maps dysfunctional as there's an unwritten rule they will never get at job at google maps or apple maps if they made the open source map work properly
