Apt, packages kept back: why and how to resolve it? in c/[email protected]

Is this basically Ubuntu?

They do intentionally hold back packages based on a random value to do gradual rollouts. See below:

Could this be your issue?

When and where do the instance content rules apply? (lemdro.id)

I'm confused about where my content is stored and therefore when to apply the rules of my instance. Let's say for example that an instance says that NSFW is strictly forbidden. Which of the following is permitted then?

  • Can I subscribe to NSFW communities? Doesn't this make their server pull the content?
  • Can I post NSFW content on communities hosted elsewhere? Does this cause their server to host the NSFW content? It looks like images I upload are stored on the local instance.
  • Is a private message stored on the instance and subject to the rules? Do we have to follow the current instance, the remote instance, or both during the conversation?

I've been assuming that it only applies to local community content, but I'm not so sure if that's correct because I depend on the instance to provide all the content (I think).

Great, now implement modern exploit mitigations and sandboxing like Chrome uses. Firefox is objectively less resistant to exploitation. Some Firefox security has improved since the article was written, such as some sandboxing on Windows, but it's definitely not as mature.

I'm not writing that Firefox is insecure. Security is very important to Firefox! However, Chrome has had more work done in the realm of browser hardening.
