After seeing how CSS and JS can track your mouse movements I decided to compile #firefox myself. I commented out two lines to disable all CSS hover and HTML/JS onmouse(enter,leave) events. Pretty neat! Although I have no way to turn it back on for those sweet Wikipedia page previews... I hope I can figure out how to make it a per page option.

Interesting, looks like they are taking the principles of FOSS and applying them to hardware and #electricalengineering design. Still, I think it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Is there an #ee community like the FSF that allows hobbyists and EEs alike to share and freely license their schematics/designs? I don't have any extraordinary schems (mostly for guitar pedal circuits), but I think it would be incredibly cool to have a site and community that did just that.

If you use Firefox and open this link and see "apple.com", you should read the blog entry linked there and fix your firefox config: https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/

The NSA now have source posted for their reverse engineering platform, Ghidra. Last I checked it was an empty repo. Seems to work well! I disassembled a small program I had laying around and it eye-opening to see in action. Time to poke at some other software I have...
#supertuxkart has a release candidate with online multiplayer! Fosstodon peeps feel free to friend me on there at blunaxela@stk.

#introduction time! I'm a computer engineer by day and a half-elf druid by night. In my free time I like to tinker with Linux, software-defined radio, digital logic, FPGAs, lock picking, and D&D. I wrote some code that is running on the space station! I somehow let my wife amass 8 guinea pigs. One Punch Man is awesome. Oh, and I love stroopwafels.
BTW, I use Arch Linux. (Although I'd like to try something new soon. Gentoo? Debian? Gotta stay edgy!)
I'm thinking about going to #LinuxFest Northwest. Anyone else on Fosstodon or the fediverse thinking about going, too? #lfnw
Alright, I _really_ like Simon Tatham's Puzzle Collection. The Android port on Fdroid is great, and I just found out many distros have packages for it, too. Try out 'untangle'!

I've just released #ncdu 1.14. This release adds mtime display & sorting, a limited form of --follow-symlinks, can display larger file counts in the file browser and fixes a few bugs you weren't likely to trigger anyway.

#X2Go is in the middle of doing a series of upstream releases. X2Go Desktop Sharing has been entirely reworked. The X2Go Session Broker has been ported to Python3 and seen many bug fixes. All components with GUIs are finally on Qt5. As components get released upstream, I do my best in getting the stuff uploaded to #Debian early enough in time for upcoming Debian #buster. Install a Debian 9, upgrade/dist-upgrade to testing and give feedback via Debian BTS. Thanks!
