🎉 Behold! A thrilling tale of coders quaking in their boots at the mere mention of "git rebase"😱. Fear not, dear reader, because in this extensive guide, we're assured that the very worst outcome is... wait for it... deleting your work! 🤔💥 Because nothing spells confidence like a digital facepalm.

Created a #python script to help find pages that are not linked to, from my own site (no internal links, aka orphan pages).

It was a fun little experiment. Happy it works.

Discovered a new #SmallWeb tool called iine, that is privacy-first, super lightweight, with zero tracking. Also has a noscript version! Created by Óscar (github.com/welpo/).

Wrote a quick guide on using it on my Hugo blog.

I covered how to disable Firefox’s new AI “features” in my previous post. While browsing my feeds, I came across a new AlternativeTo post on another enabled-by-default addition to Firefox titled Firefox tests privacy-focused direct results in the address bar with possible sponsorships. This new “feature” was already disabled in my config (thank you Arkenfox!), but AlternativeTo helpfully included a note about how to disable it for people with a more vanilla configuration:

Users can disable the feature in Firefox’s Search settings or by setting browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.online.enabled to “false” in about:config.

While AlternativeTo is mainly for software discovery, I must opine that their short news updates are good quality.

I came across a guide on Flamed Fury to disabling new AI “features” in Firefox. I run Firefox with Arkenfox and a separate overrides file. I had not noticed any AI features with my set-up, but Flamed Fury inspired me to check my settings. It turned out the main AI toggle, browser.ml.enable, was enabled, as were the other ones he noted. This could be on account of the fact that Firefox is on version 144 but Arkenfox is still on 140 (assuming the AI toggles will be disabled in the next release). In the interim, I followed Flamed Fury’s guide to disabling the AI toggles, but I implemented them from my user-overrides.js file and then ran the Arkenfox updater scripts. See how they look (with one additional) in my overrides:

user_pref("browser.ml.enabled", false);user_pref("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom", false);user_pref("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);user_pref("browser.ml.checkForMemory", false);user_pref("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts", false);user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page", false);user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge", false);user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge", false);user_pref("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);user_pref("browser.ml.extensions.ml.enabled", false);user_pref("browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled", false);user_pref("browser.tabs.groups.smart,enabled", false);user_pref("browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnable", false);
If you want to maintain a clean Firefox, I recommend taking a look at Arkenfox, albeit it is important to read the docs before using it. Regarding the AI features, while I appreciate that Firefox does make it possible to disable unwanted additions to the browser, it would have been nice if they had at least made the AI stuff opt-in instead of opt-out.

Oh, joy! Another riveting guide on how to achieve the impossible feat of running complex development tasks on your smartphone instead of, you know, a COMPUTER 🚀📱. Because who wouldn't want to fry brain cells figuring out on a tiny screen instead of using a mouse and keyboard? 🙃🔧

Oh, look! Another tech guide that promises but delivers a 404-shaped gift basket instead. 🚫💻 Clearly, we're all just one server error away from becoming MCP wizards. 🙄✨
