Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store

    That's to add an "authority". Done that. But firefox doesn't find a personal (id) cert signed by that CA (fnmt.es)

    I can't. Firefox on Android doesn't handle my personal certificate so it's a hassle to access gov sites

  • Is it better to check if a file exists before trying to load it, or to try to load it, and catch the error and move on?
  • netizen netizen 2mo ago 80%

    File existing and we're able to read it are two quite different conditions

  • Mounting Folders VS Symlinks?
  • netizen netizen 3mo ago 100%

    You usually should go with the symlinks for a normal usage. There're marginal use cases where you mount a folder, like modifying permissions, attributes, with not straight to learn tools like bindfs.

    You mount a filesystem (container), whereas a folder is something contained in a filesystem (IOW, not a filesystem)

  • Started learning Perl
  • netizen netizen 4mo ago 100%

    If you want/like/enjoy something, do it, don’t listen to others. It’s also OK to learn something but never use it, either for the joy of learning or learning new things and new ways of looking at things.

    Perl was my first favorite programming language, I really liked it. my brain could connect with it easily(same thing wasn’t true for other PLs). It even helped me understand other programming languages better.

    Pretty much this ^ Besides that, I still miss Perl, I loved it!

    My current favorite language is Raku.

    I was once also looking while Perl6 was evolving, and somehow liked it, but there was something keeping me out. There were no plans to allow me to use Perl6 the same way I (and everyone) uses Perl5: $ binaryinterpreter script.pl

    Maybe they'll will hear their users instead of ignoring (reasonable) requests (like a toolbar, or sorting status bar items) that are many years old and have thousands of stars.

    You're young. Young enough to have to google my username meaning. Maybe also google what GIF means: Graphics Interchange Format. Long tima go you could find images on the internet, and they were always GIF, because JPG didn't exist.

    But yes, it's quite strange nowadays, I agree <grin> Oh, yes, I used the net before smileys were a thing :-)
