What's going on with Firefox?

Second try, shorter and less confusing than before:

  • DNSoverHttps interfering with my DNS block
  • shown to be enabled in about:policies
  • set to disabled in policies.json as well as in about:settings.

The picture shows a console window witch the respective policies.json key being set to false (disabled), while the about:policies firefox page in the background shows DoT to be enabled.

Version is 140.1.0esr on Artix (Arch). Anyone can confirm?

Edit: It's not a broken profile; same happens in a fresh one.

Question to *nix permissions

I learned the hard way that the "x" permission on directories doesn't mean "execute" but "traverse". And setting permissions on directories get's them inherited by newly created/added files in there, right?

So how can i remove the ability from my homedir to execute current and new files but keep the traverse permission?

Parts of *Auguries of Innocence* of William Blake

I find those parts fitting to current society.

A dog starvd at his Masters Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State
A Horse misusd upon the Road
Calls to Heaven for Human blood

The Princes Robes & Beggars Rags
Are Toadstools on the Misers Bags
A Truth thats told with bad intent
Beats all the Lies you can invent

The Bleat the Bark Bellow & Roar
Are Waves that Beat on Heavens Shore
The Babe that weeps the Rod beneath
Writes Revenge in realms of Death
The Beggars Rags fluttering in Air
Does to Rags the Heavens tear

[solved] How to backup a bunch of blu-rays?

Seeing that DVD are slowly going end-of-live and that you can't buy a lot of my childhood favorites in german anymore and streams are compressed-to-death (and DRMed), i had a streak of preservia. Which is why i rip a bunch of discs from the library on Linux (yes, legally not ok, but morally just ease of access, i wouldn't sell them). Since it's only to watch them when nostalgia hits, i want them in a ready-to-watch format, chose AV1 webm for small size. My burner is LibreDrive-ok ootb, meaning makemkv goes automatically in that mode.

I have the discs for a limited time, so i used to use dvdbackup for DVD and later feed the folder to handbrake for conversion. Now i got a bunch of blu-ray:

  • ripping one takes even longer; whole 25 hours; i don't have the time for the whole LotR series with bonus disks.
  • makemkvcon backup needs only about 2 hours per disk, but the resulting folder is 80 GB big; i have only about 250 GB free space ** and the makemkv backup somehow has no audio streams, while handbrake does

While i write this, handbrake is loading the chapters (that alone needs more than 1 hour for blu-ray); i'm trying if a lossless FFV1 mkv conversion (for later re-conversion) takes less long.

Now:

  • Any better approach?
  • Any way to fix makemkv having no audio? (i could juggle with external disks) I think i have all libraries and the KEYDB.cfg.

Edit: nope, handbrake suddenly has unable to decrypt unit (AACS)
