Your best/cheapest bet is a DNS Proxy because unfortunately UK tv channels are very quick to block VPN IP addresses, so they all tend to stop working quite quickly and then it’s a game of whack-a-mole. I use smartdnsproxy, but there are others around that do a similar thing.

Yeah, FreeTube has been really solid for me. I’m dreading the day YouTube go the server-side ad injection route. It’s surely inevitable, unless the costs to implement it outweigh the lost ad revenue maybe?

I thought that wanker looked familiar :p

Weird take.

In this video I discuss how Korean Telecom (aka KT Corp) deployed malware to the PC’s of 600k of their customers who were using bittorrent applications to share files with one another. [Mental Outlaw]

If this checks out, and it seems to, this is the craziest shit I’ve ever heard of an ISP doing.

Those eyes are definitely saying, “How could you do this to me?”

Aye exactly mate, down with the mega corps!

I’ll volunteer to help out with moderation. I have some spare bandwidth.

1337x.to is generally fine to use, just be sure to check the notes on the Megathread and use your common sense.

Context

• When signing up on the 1337x platform, it’s crucial to bear in mind that it’s accessible to all users.
• The act of downloading movies and TV shows is often regarded as safe. This is primarily because these files do not come in .exe format, thus reducing the likelihood of virus infection.

Risk

• It’s highly advisable to be careful when downloading games and software from the site unless you have total confidence in the uploader’s trustworthiness. Avoid uploaders like IGGGames due to their notorious track record of distributing malware.
• Opt for reputable uploaders like DODI Repacks, FitGirl Repacks, and KaOsKrew to ensure reliable content and mitigate any potential risks associated with unverified sources.

Plus, add it to the wiki or I can do it for you 👍

Are you using 2FA on your account?

Dang, I’m shit out of ideas. I think we’ve thoroughly ruled out a browser or extension issue. I’ve verified you now. Let’s see if that helps.

Hmm interesting. The NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error

I can think of a few more things to try:

1. Can you try clearing cookies and site data and then try login again?

2. Try creating a new profile in Firefox. If there is some profile corruption this may fix the issue.
3. Go to page about:support and then you should see the option to refresh firefox or enter troubleshooting mode.
4. Try a different browser such as Edge or Chrome, just to see if problem persists.
5. Try creating a new account on lemmy.dbzer0.com and then login with that account. If that works that would tell us if it’s something to do with your lemmy profile settings.
6. Try installing a fresh copy of Firefox via a different method (e.g. snap package or flatpack, or deb). The file not found error suggests it could possibly be linked to a file permissions or storage issue, so this may help.

Obviously, you will lose your current Firefox settings with some of these actions, so caution is advised.

Sorry I can’t be more specific, it’s hard to know specifically what’s causing the issue since I can’t replicate.

Hmm, ok, I’m on Ubuntu Firefox and was just able to log out and then back in no problem. Just trying to narrow down the issue in case it was a browser thing. I’d suggest next to try logging in using a private browser window so all your extensions are disabled and see if it works then.

Can you give us detailed steps to replicate? I was able to login just fine on Firefox.

Did you get it sorted out? Was probably due to server upgrade bugs.

The mod log reason for removing this comment thread is “Toxic and pointless off-topic comment thread about grammar in a meme.” That’s not mod abuse, it’s just moderation. Mod abuse would be telling you to fuck off.

I completely agree with you on ACAB in capitalist countries, for the same reasons you mentioned, but cops in “actually existing socialist” countries like Russian and China are no better. They still use authoritarian violence to oppress anyone who steps out of line with the will of the State. There are many, many historic and more contemporary examples of socialist countries using the [secret] police and/or troops to quell dissent from unions, anarchists, and other leftist groups, because anyone who protests the actions of the State, no matter how legitimately, is considered to be an enemy of the State, whether that State is capitalist or not.
