32:30 A Leaky Firefox
48:47 A Slight RAM Reprieve?
1:04:51 Two Notes & Next Time
1:13:30 Stinger

Today in User Space we dive into the wonderful world of nostalgia again as we find out that the 486 architecture will soon be dropped from the Linux kernel. Luckily the very first Pentium (with MMX!) is still in-tree, but for how much longer? We also find out that Ubuntu is raising their minimum RAM requirement to 6GB from 4. Honestly, it's about time.

Then, some bittersweet news. Leo finally gets to play around with the Firefox built-in VPN, but Dan still hasn't seen it. What we found out, though, is that Firefox will happily leak your real IP address with WebRTC. Does this defeat the purpose?!

Lastly, we try to guess what's going to happen next with RAM prices. They seem to have hit their peak, but will they really come tumbling down? At least for Raspberry Pi, that's not the case as price rises across the entire line are happening. The Pi 5 16GB is a jaw dropping $300!

We also respond to a couple of comments.

In this episode we start off with the newest AgeGate update. This time, it's in systemd. Lots of folks have been activated about this one since it hits much closer to home, even in distros that weren't considering it prior, and why we think it's not a big deal, nor is that slope very slippery from here

Then, we find out that Mozilla has a browser, and they're putting a couple of interesting things in there! Namely split view and a VPN, but only the cool kids have the latter for now.

Next up is, in the US, the FCC has banned foreign consumer grade routers, which is basically all of them. What do a couple of Linux nerds suggest to try instead? LINUX OF COURSE!

We also spend more time in Kagiland and learn a couple of things.

Finally! A good episode!

Hope you enjoy

In this episode we dive into the wonderful world of bandwidth since there's an open source alternative to Speedtest.net and Fast.com these days, and it's LibreSpeed.org. Take a peek, preferably after they update their expired certificate (they seriously did this to us after we speak so highly!) and get a slightly more honest look at your speeds! For bonus points, try a different country. We also dig into some of the technical bits behind those tests.

Also, when speaking about jitter, I should have said 'delta' or 'difference' rather than 'average'!

Then, more age verification. This time, though, Linux distributions are caught in the crossfire and some are exploring the ways to actually handle potential implementations. Nothing's too dire yet as most of these 'laws' are still bills, and that means they don't matter quite yet.

Also, we look into a post by Gabriele Svelto, a Firefox developer, to find out that not only is Firefox a little more reliable than you might think, bad RAM or other hardware bits might actually be the reason things are crashing, and not just Firefox!

Finally, some feedback, and we learn that our Mac User / Listener Venn diagram isn't just two separate circles.

We start off with a little on how our Kagi search project is going. And it'd be going a lot better if Leo could stop weighing the pros and cons of each search and their impact on the quota. Also, a little about Orion and why its tabbed layout is much better than the rest.

Then, F-Droid is back in the news with a new lament about the dwindling amount of time left before the September Sideload cutoff. Time to make a little more noise, it seems.

And finally, Firefox gets the long awaited Kill Switch, but was it actually backtracking? We make the case for why that might not have actually been the case, but welcome the toggle either way.

Oh, and in Next Time, we accidentally slip in a small segment about Discord and what backtracking actually looks like! More on that in a future episode as Discord is where we are a lot of the time.

A bit about how we've fared now that the 1.0 Cosmic Epoch is here, how things have changed, and what other goodies System76 has up their sleeve (it's a lot!). Then, we spend some time dissecting Mozilla's newest AI move. It turns out, if you dig deep enough, there's still hope, contrary to the wildly hot-take style news about things so far. And our final topic, Snapscope, a way to scan your Snaps for vulnerabilities, but then end up chatting way more about Snaps in general.

There's also a bit of SteamThing errata we need to cover before ending it all on a high note for the holidays.

Hope you enjoy and we'll see you soon. Happy holidays!

The History of The Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

• The Andrew Project
• W was a windowing system that was originally written for the V operating system.
• In 1984, Robert Scheifler wrote.
• X is our “reaction” to W
• Ultrix Window Manager, or uwm
• Tom's Window Manager, which eventually became Tab Window Manager, or twm
• Open Look Specification
• The OSF narrows the search for a User Interface.
• HP and Microsoft's CXI and DEC's XUI to create the HP OSF/Motif Window Manager.
• Sun went on to build OpenWindows, which was X with OPEN LOOK on top to replace SunView.
• COSE
• In 1994, The OSF and Unix International, a body meant to standardize UNIX, merged, and in 96, merged again with X/Open into The Open Group.
• Motif and CDE became one
• KDE enters the scene.
• May of 2000 when Motif was released as OpenMotif.
• LessTif, because Less is Mo, published an initial statement
• August 6th, 2012, CDE was relicensed under the LGPL and was available on SourceForge, where it still lives today.
• After opening it up, 2.2.1 was released on March 1st, 2014.
• The final release, at least as of this recording, 2.5.1, dropped in October of 2022.
