@All_bonesJones@phnt@mangeurdenuage Slow tab loading (especially if you tend to have a lot of them open) is a real bummer in FF, it tries to load too many tabs in parallel for its own good. There is a handy addon, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sequential-tab-loader/ that lets you control how many tabs it loads, turns out serializing loading tabs at least a bit ends up being faster (and keeps the browser responsive enough to load up and use a tab interactively while the rest loads in the background).
It's like Mozilla re-invented Windows 95's Startup folder that would inevitably grind any computer to a near stand-still through disk thrashing.
@kaia If the VPS has some kind of virtual console access (VNC, noVNC or similar), make sure it's turned off once you have everything set up and only ever turn it on for emergency maintenance.
Reality: Employers love lazy and apathetic employees, because they are too apathetic to refuse or object to even the most patently absurd assignments, and they are too lazy to form unions.
@lain@kaia@phnt@rin German politics of the late 20th century essentially intended for passenger rail in Germany to die the same slow death through managed neglect like what happened in the UK, but then did a U-turn because early 21st century German politics committed to climate protection and realized that a convenient and cheap sci-fi alternative to railways won't materialize and every service running right now is in the middle of a it-needs-to-get-worse-before-it-can-get-better phase. It might actually get better on the other side, but politics could just do a U-turn again and then things will just remain fucked.
@lain@kaia@phnt@rin We just had two weeks of literally no trains coming into or out of Cologne at all because they're putting in a new railway interlocking system ... and they're already planning for the next major outage later in the year when they plan on actually putting it in production.
