oybng··on Cloudflare crawl endpoint
I yearn for the days when a single kb get was enough. Now it's endless wastage spawning entire browsers larger than operating systems with mitigations, hacks and proxies. Requesting access directly from webmasters is only met with silence. All of my once simple, hobbyist programs are now bloated beyond belief and less reliable than ever
oybng··on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips
For the unaware, Intel is to blame for this

oybng··on Handy – Free open source speech-to-text app
On Windows this depends on webview2, which the installer attempts to download. No mention of this requirement in the readme. It's a shame this software isn't portable

Firefox had options for many things, until those options were removed

oybng··on Windhawk Windows classic theme mod for Windows 11
It's incredible the effort Windows 10/11 users will go to in order to reach a somewhat functional and reliable computing experience via third party modifications, yet Linux is somehow too much effort. Just look at the instructions on that page..

amazing how posts critical of google quickly fall off the front page during north american hours
oybng··on Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads
You are not alone. In Q1 2025 I was forced to adopt the embed player. In Q3 2025, google intentionally broke the embed player. Now the only youtube access I have is via yt-dlp. Long live yt-dlp and its developers
oybng··on Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads
more dependency bloat just to deobfuscate some randomly generated bs that's increasingly complex for no reason and has no value existing in the first place, much like its creators
