  • My company enforces specific add-ons for Firefox so I installed and use LibreWolf which our admins don’t lock down - only Chrome and Firefox. I wanted a browser that I would use separately from my work that didn’t specifically need their add-ons which include traffic sniffing crap. I know that if I want to do any personal browsing and guarantee it’s personal, I should use my own device but I was honestly just annoyed by the additional CPU cycles the security add-ons were using.














  • The fields where you can’t paste a password or any other types of data like credit card info absolutely kill me. It’s doing the exact opposite of adding any level of security and it’s just infuriating.

    My favorite recently is my company has TOTP 2FA but you can’t paste the 6 digits. You have to type in one digit at a time, each being its own box. Paste fails in every browser I’ve tried. It’s just a shitty user interface.








  • I’m not aware of a way to lock an entire system to a major.minor version with Debian, only holding individual packages. What exact version is your base-files? The full string matters.

    You could check to see if anything is held with apt-mark showhold.

    It is possible that the mirror you have in your sources.list file stopped syncing so to your system is looks like it has no updates. What mirror is your system pointed at?
