I too use torrents if possiblez but sometimes, the movie we seek maynot be available or won't have enough seeders. Sites like this, and others mentioned in fmhy are useful at those times.

Kerala have a big contribution to this since all the school IT labs + government offices here use ubuntu or its slightly modified versions. Wish if every state did so.

Glad they also started to include images which makes easy to really understand the changes, especially the UI related ones.

Share your feedback on the AI services experiment in Nightly - Mozilla Connect in c/firefox@fedia.io
[-] rorschah@lemdro.id 2 points 2 months ago

Nightly can be configured by advanced testers to use custom prompts and any compatible chatbot, such as llamafile, which runs on-device open models, including open-source ones. We are excited for the community to share interesting prompts, chatbots, and models as we make this a better user experience. We are also looking at how we can provide an easy-to-set-up option for a private, fully local chatbot as an alternative to using third-party providers.

I think they could've waited until they properly tried implementing a local llm. Anyway glad to know that we have options and gonna try this.

For people who worry about Youtube buffering/skipping issues, it's fixed in Firefox 129, wait for Firefox 127.0.2 (bugzilla.mozilla.org)

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/9940873

And this is 100% Youtube's fault, not Firefox's fault, they created this issue:

This problem is triggered by bad muxed VP9 bytestream served by Youtube, so it's not a regression on our side, this issue can also be reproduced on old versions Firefox. Usually when muxing a video bytestream, the video samples' timestamp should be monotonizally increasing and no overlap between samples. But there are some bad video samples in YT's bytesteam, they overlapped with the previous sample. Eg. [124416000, 125126000] and [125125000, 131382000]. The next one should start from 12516000 instead of starting from 125125000 causing an overlapping.

That overlapped sample triggers this and our WebM demuxer fails to calculate the next timestamp in that situation. The end time of video sample was set to the same as the sample's start time, and that causes a gap being detected for the next sample, resulting in resetting append state. When doing so, mNeedRandomAccessPoint would be set to true and that triggers the sample skipping mechanism per the spec.

Therefore, there would be many sample being incorrectly skipped and won't be added into the buffered range. When entering the buffering state, Firefox would be waiting those sample which has been skipped but Youtube thought that those samples were already appended. That makes the endless buffering happened.

what's your current linux distro? in c/foss@beehaw.org
[-] rorschah@lemdro.id 3 points 3 months ago

I used to be on pure Arch for 2.5 years, but currently uses cachyOS. And its so much removes the pain points of arch, as well as giving super fast performance.

CachyOS June 2024 release brings T2 Macbook support ,555 driver and much more in c/archlinux@lemmy.ml
[-] rorschah@lemdro.id 2 points 3 months ago

Most of the speed is due to them compiling packages with the x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 instruction set and LTO.

That means the CPU need to be little newer to take advantage of, too
