Firefox 144 seems to fuck up loading profiles when you have too many tabs for it to load.

Five tabs, fine.

50 tabs, it's fucked. I get blank windows and the profile is broken henceforth.

Others report this with 20 tabs.

Only workaround I can think of:
* FF 143, fresh profile, readd your tabs. Haven't tried yet.

FF has fucked up hard here, tralala.

I could be wrong of course, but I just spent 3 hours on this bullshit and making lots of tabs seems to be how to get it to fuck itself up.

I'm on Linux, the 20 tabs was on Mac. I got this happening with both the snap and the deb. (I'd try Windows, but FF win doesn't seem to install in Wine these days.)

I welcome other ideas of course

[note: suggestions "lots of tabs is a wrong thing to want" will be regarded as mastodon at its worst, don't do this.]

EDIT 1: opened in safe mode, closed the window with 50+ tabs. just five tabs in browser. opened again in unsafe mode - does the blank-windows thing again. Looks like too many tabs fucks the profile irretrievably.

"My main takeaways from listening to the Supreme Court oral argument today are

-the writing is on the wall for the Voting Rights Act

"MAGA is trying to scare us into staying home, but in doing so, they’re showing us their hand. The more people turn out for these events, the more media coverage they receive, and visuals are shared online -- it becomes clear just how big the movement opposing Trump in America has become."

"Professor Stanislav Vysotsky, an expert on fascism: 'Yes, this is classic authoritarianism. It’s an intentional framing of the opposition as violent and dangerous in order to dehumanize them, which then justifies a violent crackdown. Authoritarians routinely paint their opposition as a menacing existential threat to peace and safety for just that reason.'”

Is it a good idea to setup a mail server for smol mailboxes and to open registration for free with invitation links for example?
The goal would be to reduce volume of emails, as #smolweb reduces the size of websites.

Something smol like:

• one common domain name (something in .casa TLD)
• in a French datacenter
• 128 Mb of storage
• 10 Mb max per email (sent or received)
• 10 recipient addresses per email (can't be used for mailing)
• limited sent per hour (no spam)
• IMAP / POP3 / SMTP (over TLS)
• Webmail (for desktop and mobile)
• autodeleted if full for several months (to free space for newcomers)

Are you interested by such a #mailbox ?

Please share this toot to have a good idea of the interest.

Hi there! This is #nakeddiefriday again!

Today I'd like to present you one of frequent sources of pain for C64 owners, the infamous PLA. This is MOS 7700R2. They failed way too often, and considering this is custom silicon, the only option was to get another one of the same.

Many thanks to @root42 for providing this sample!
