Mhm take a look at https://github.com/Kopano-dev/konnect - it which might even be quicker to set up in a container.


Makes me sad that something "new" still requires Flash in 2017 :/


Could have been worse. Sometimes you still find sites requiring Silverlight.


Makes me happy the OP didn't have Flash installed. Fingers crossed they didn't install it just to see the site.


I didn't :-)


- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Make right click menu of dash items scrollable

- DESCRIPTION: When an application in the dash has open a lot of windows (for me, Terminal) the height of the right click menu eventually will not fit the screen. It cannot be scrolled so it is essentially impossible to find the correct window by right clicking on the application. See a screen shot of the problem at https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/longsleep/stash/ubunt... - these are around 40 terminals at 1440 pixel height with scale 1.

- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Software developer


Whats the point of this?


I created my own service a while ago, use https://github.com/longsleep/mydyns as pointers if you want to roll your own. I am certain there are plenty of similar solutions to run your own dynamic DNS.


Take a look at https://github.com/longsleep/adblockrouter - i hacked this together some months ago and use it since to provide DNS blacklisting to dnsmasq running on OpenWRT. If your OpenWRTC router has wget and ssl, it even runs directly on it.


U-Block origin is blocking SourceForge as well (||sourceforge.net^$other)


I was just looking into U-Block. What's better to use: U-Block or U-Block Origin?



AFAIK: U-Block Origin is a fork of U-Block which hopes to stay in sync with U-Block, but maintain a per-site block/allow feature which was removed from the newer version of U-Block.


Actually, U-Block is the fork, U-Block origin is the branch of the project maintained by the original dev.


Another reason to switch to Iridium Browser. It has Google search disabled by default and even if you switch search to Google, Voice search and hot-words stay off until you manually enable it.

https://iridiumbrowser.de/


I'm running Iridium and this module is loaded, at least "chrome://voicesearch/" loads the same info.


I didn't know about Iridium. I'll give it a try.


another one is "Iron browser"


Hm, when I try to download Iron's source code ("for Coder"), a Rapidshare page "Our services have been closed. Thank you for your understanding!" pops out. How convenient.


Which is not to be trusted in the slightest


It should start with a clean state. Please file a bug at https://github.com/iridium-browser/iridium-browser-ubuntu/is...



This is really great feedback. Reading this and the other comments makes clear that we need to improve documentation what and why we changed things. All the trk-xxx.iridiumbrowser.de hosts are there to find connections which we were not able to disable yet. All these end up at nothing (404 not found) and are not proxied in any way. Essentially Iridium browser should never contact them - if it does then it is a code path we have missed and a bug.


Then replace them with a crash or popup ("Line <x> was reached but shouldn't be reachable. Please report this." or whatever)

Phoning home without permission goes against the entire concept of a secure browser.

Have you ever seen the underhanded C contests? There are far too many ways for something like this to turn nasty. Especially given there's inherent plausible deniability.
