if you want to create a smart bookmark that doesn't url-encode its parameter, use "%S" in the url instead of "%s". btw, it's fucking miserable searching through gecko-dev code...

for some reason, before the profile is even loaded, firefox​(1​) makes a handful of bus requests to systemd-resolved(8​). it results in firefox taking almost 5 minutes to fucking display. to fix, you can disable systemd-resolved(8​) and empty out resolv.conf(5).
#firefox #dbus #systemd-resolved

here's an elegant way of parsing dbus signatures in python (thread):
# start with the symbols
members = 'bdghinoqrstuvxy*'

# start state, mostly terminals.
start = {ch : {} for ch in members}
#python #trie #dbus #dbus-signatures

related to the xz(1) drama, the comments that push for memory-safe languages (i.e. rust) are really a nuisance. like, are all those people bots? i get it, you like to advocate for your fave lang...but it's not related. as someone else commented, "if it was a memory-safe language, the backdoor would not have been detected."

if you need to apply some normal mode command to a range in vim(1), you can use visual-mode with ":*". after you "visual" the lines you want, use ":normal $commands" to run them across the entire range. ended up needing it to line up a bunch of text.

oss-security - backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leadi...

wow, pretty neat. xz/liblzma was backdoor'd, which included specific code to tamper with ssh. to clarify, it was caught due to valgrind and the backdoor affecting performance.

these are the commits here: https://github.com/tukaa...

when using parallel(1), you can't also use the sem(1) parameters. so if you're trying to block on a specific workload, you'll need sem(1) with the --id $semaphore_name and --bg. your semaphore name is the "unique" key.. it's worth noting that sem(1) captures its output until job completion.
