  • This has mostly affected me on my work PC. I just tried installing it to find out IT blocks adding new extensions now. :(

    I’ll just have to be extra careful not to reflexively close Firefox if my tabs don’t show up, and make sure to make a backup of the old session file before restarting.

    Windows 10 extended support on my main PC: if I have nothing better to do in the moment, I’ll update before Windows picks the most inconvenient time to do it for me.

    Windows 11: I almost never wake this laptop. When I do, it’s always downloading and installing updates, running hot and at full tilt. Miserable POS.

    TrueNAS: there’s an update?

    Home Assistant: maybe once every month or every other month, but only after perusing the change logs and checking against the breaking changes list.

    Android: leave the update notification in the tray until I get home on my Wi-Fi, forget about it until I see it again the next day when I’m away from Wi-Fi again, rinse and repeat.

    Edit:

    Firefox desktop: when Firefox starts refusing to load web pages

    Honestly, of all the things I have to update, I find Firefox the most painful, firstly because of the suspension of functional browsing if I ignore it long enough (there’s enough apps out there that update cleanly at launch that I feel like that should be the norm instead of forcing an end to a session), and secondly because updates have wiped my tabs on two occasions. I successfully recovered my tabs from a backed-up session file once, but completely lost them on the other occasion.



  • I’m not a mechanic and don’t really have motorcycle experience. I don’t know what would be the best approach, but I do have thoughts on where I’d start. If you don’t readily see any obvious leaks, and you’re convinced it’s not coming from the tailpipe (which would indicate it’s running rich and there’s a sensor, ECU, injector, or tuning issue), I’d probably look into getting a fluorescent dye that can be used in fuel systems. With a bright UV flashlight, this will make any liquid leaks glow, so any leaks in fuel lines, tanks, inline filters, petcocks, or maybe even the engine block or cylinder head would show up. If the leak is on the vapor side of the fuel system, I don’t expect the UV dye would help find it.

    Alternatively you might be able to find it with a sniffer tool. I’m not endorsing the linked item below. I don’t own it and I’ve never used one, but I’m including it as a reference. https://a.co/d/00jpwJua
