50501 (short for “50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement”) is an American progressivist grassroots political organization founded to protest the policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States.

The parade I assume is in reference to the birthday military parade for the 250th Army Anniversary of June 14, 2025. More here: wikipedia

As discussed on the attached patch, it doesn't sound like unified push is a direction we want to go in at the moment.
So i'm going to close the bug, but do appreciate the interesting exploration and discussion it has generated.
Thank you to everyone who contributed thoughts, time and code to this issue!

hello - thank you for looking into this and submitting this patch stack!
I have asked around a few people internally but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for the idea of moving to Unified Push.
So I think it would be best to abandon the stack rather than spend more time working on this implementation.
Sorry to have to say that and sorry it's taken so long to get back to you with this message!
We appreciate your time and effort here and hope that you will still consider contributing to firefox in the future.

EDIT: Copy pasted the text for accessibility

I’m not sure if you are referring to this, but I’ve noticed some people overriding their comments after around 24h they have posted them - probably running an automated script. I assume they are doing it for perceived privacy reasons.

They have finally updated the Status Page

Not a lot of information, but better than nothing

Yeah, incredibly frustrating.
The only acknowledgement is from a volunteer mod on reddit that said an hour ago that “the team is aware and the status page will be updated shortly”.

The fact I had to dig around to find that is really not a pleasing experience.

Their systems currently report that everything’s fine, which - to be fair - could be a misreporting and change at any moment
Anecdotally all their landing sites load fine for me

Tackling it from the other side: could it be a problem with your DNS?
Did you try with another network? Like wifi or mobile data

EDIT: Formatting

EDIT: Tried again and now the email service seems to not be loading

EDIT 2: It is being reported on other sites too, but currently there’s nothing official I could find, not even on their Mastodon or Twitter various accounts

EDIT 3: On reddit the volunteer mod alex_herrero wrote an hour ago that “The team is aware and [the] status page will be updated shortly”.

That’s the bad thing about social media. If no one was doing it before, someone is now!

Jokes aside it’s possible, but with the current LLMs I don’t think there’s really a need for something like that.

Malicious actors usually try to spend the least amount of effort possibile for generalized attacks, because you end up having to often restart when found out.

So they probably just feed an LLM with some examples to get the tone right and prompt it in a way that suits their uses.

You can generate thousands of posts while Lemmy hasn’t even started to reply to one.

If you instead want to know if anyone is taking all the comments on lemmy to feed to some model training… Yeah, of course they are. Federation makes it incredibly easy to do.

Hangs, reboots or does it turn off? Depending on that it could be a plethora of things.

Do you get any error prompts? Any red alerts when restarting?

Did you check that the monitor works steadily on another system/OS?

Did you try another DE, even on a live usb?

Is the HDD/SSD healthy?

Are all the fans working? Is it the thermal protection?

Is the PSU healthy and or the power connection damaged?

Does your system have a centralized logging like journalctl or can you reach the single log files to check and add more information?

It could literally be anything, even aliens.

The only two things I can currently think of are:

1. Shut down the PC and try inverting the slot your monitors are plugged in in the graphic card
2. Right click on the Desktop -> Swap the primary Display -> Apply -> Swap it back

Honestly I’m not sure if it will help but I don’t have other ideas aside from purging the configuration, which is probably not the solution and unwarrented.

Another thing to try would be a search on the KDE bugtracker.

I didn’t know about this project, so I took a quick look around.

I didn’t see any mention of Telemetry or Metrics, but I assume they can use this:

After starting Tails and connecting to Tor, Tails Upgrader automatically checks if upgrades are available and then proposes you to upgrade your USB stick. The upgrades are checked for and downloaded through Tor.

https://tails.net/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#automatic

Still, I just gave this a few minutes, so there could be more.

So, I can’t install aur packages via pacman?

Nope, you have to do it manually or using an helper that abstracts the manual work away.

AUR packages, or to be more precise the PKGBUILD files, are recipes to compile or download stuff outside from the official repositories, manage their deps and installing them on the system.

You should always only run PKGBUILD files that you trust, they can do basically anything on your system. Checking the comments of the package in the aur repo is a good practice too.

Also Are you quoting certain nExT gEn gAmE guy?

…maybe

Also in wiki they didn’t mention anything about OpenSSL?

Sorry, that was my bad, I wrote OpenSSL instead of openvpn. That one is probably needed too, but you should not have to pull it manually.

Generally speaking the ArchWiki is one of the best, more structured and well maintained source of information about Linux things even for other distros, but it can too be outdated, so you should always check if the info is valid. In this case it seems so.

In theory you should be able to just install proton-vpn-gtk-app using one of the many AUR helpers and it should Just Work™. Paru and yay are the most commonly used ones - as far as I know - and they wrap around pacman too, so you can use them to do everything packages related. Usually Arch related distro use one of them, for example EndeavourOS have yay already installed.

At worst when you try to start protonvpn the GUI will not appear or immediately crash: if that happens, usually, you can try and run the program from the Shell and see what kind of error it returns and work your way from there. Checking if the deps listed in the wiki are installed is always a great first step.

Reading rorschac’s comment I assume both OpenSSL and wireguard are already installed on CachyOS, or anyway pulled by the aur package.

If you want to make sure you can install them explicitly before protonvpn:

paru openvpn wireguard-tools

or using yay or the vanilla pacman -Syu --needed openvpn wireguard-tools (it will sync and update the system too) or how it is suggested for CachyOS to install packages. I repeat I’ve no direct experience with that one.

If you are scared to mess things up you can always spin up a VM with CachyOS and try to install it inside that. If it all works you can then do the same on your main OS.

As a general advice, only run in your shell commands that you are sure about.

I can attest that this AUR package, which is the one indicated in the wiki, works fine on EndeavourOS, but I had to add the gnome key wallet (IIRC) to handle the VPN keys. I think that was fixed.

I have no experience with CachyOS.

Actually Obtainium is mentioned (but thank you, checking back I saw I had a typo in the github link that I had missed, and I’ve now fixed it!), but this is the first time I hear about Accrescent: is it this App store?

You are right, and I forgot to add the link to it in the opening post. I’ll edit it in!

Silverbullet is like that. It is not an electron or native app, you have to run a server and then get to it from the browser.

TLDR it is best run with docker or podman, but IMHO it is pretty good.

I wish they used them all, especially XDG_CACHE_HOME which can become pretty big pretty fast.

disable this system security feature temporarily,

This should be - if I’m not mistaken - possible using the pip env var I posted about earlier, like this:

PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1 sudo apt install howdy

Or exporting it for the current shell, before running the installation

export PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1

But I personally highly discourage it, because - AFAIK - if it even works it will mess up the deps in your system.
