  • That’s no bug, mTLS just isn’t implemented on Firefox (for Android) currently.

    There are 2 proposed solutions on that thread:

    1. It was possible on old versions of FF, but not the current ones. I believe this to be related to the versions prior to the revamp that happened circa 2020. (the author refers to a version that was already “old” by 2022). So it was something supported on OG Firefox, not not on the new (current, by 5 years already) version.
    2. Using the debug menu’s secret settings to enable “Use third party CA certificates”. This is available on current FF, but that’s no mutual TLS. It is about allowing CA certificates that you installed yourself on your device for server TLS auth.











  • I’ve been slowly, but steadily, migrating the services I run on my TrueNAS CORE (FreeBSD) from Jails to Debian VMs so I can migrate to TrueNAS 25 (no more SCALE it seems, and Linux) around April without many hurdles, hopefully.

    Besides having to learn some systemd, it has been a smooth ride.

    Now I’m down to the last 2 services, which I think are the most complicated setups I have and with no nice deb packages to ease installation: Paperless-ngx and Photoprism.

    I’ll probably look into playing with Containers (LXC/Incus) to have the same lightweight and efficiency as Jails once the migration to Linux is done. But honestly, if everything is running nicely, I won’t be very motivated to do so, let’s see.



  • I’d say that they’re “cooking the books” as in: making it look like they’re in better shape than they are by cutting costs, but causing irreparable damage to themselves that will manifest in the long run.

    I’ve survived 3 layoffs at Spotify last year alone. Once I started working there It didn’t take long to be proud and feel happy about it. Now, although people still find it cool when I tell them and I still do the same job (no workload increase), I know it is just like any other greedy corpo and I feel compelled to care less and less.

  • Potential bias: I’m a developer at Spotify.

    “Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it.”

    I don’t think the company forces you to do anything. It is their business model, how they can provide copyrighted music to you and have a share of the pie too.

    I’d say the very idea that Spotify is forcing you to pay with time and attention or money so you can have music conveniently streamed to your devices is a testament to the company’s success. It created this business model and fulfilled an apparently basic need to the point you think that charging for it is unfair.

    But “forcing” is too much. You can always buy discs, digital downloads and so.
