I tried to stop #Thunderbird/#Firefox from using the #pulseaudio socket of #pipewire because of a bug in Debian that renders the audio daemons useless after some time: sockets do not get closed and the only way to get audio back when there are no sockets left is to restart.

The way I tried to do it didn't work completely. #Firefox still opens sockets to the pulseaudio daemon - even though the processes show that they run in an environment containing PULSE-SERVER=unix:/dev/null.

Any ideas how I stop firefox using that pulseaudio socket? Mount namespace - does it include sockets? A restriction on a systemd slice (cgroup) I could use?

I think this is solved as I wrote in the forum thread.

Learned something new: When I tried to revert the wireless.js in luci to a version offering the configuration for #ppsk aka #dpsk I controlled the downloaded version in the debugging window of #firefox.

Right there its possible to download a javascript file from the debugger to a file, change it and use it inside the opened web page. No need to change anything on the server serving the original js.

I intentionally broke audio output of #Mozilla #Thunderbird and #Firefox:

Lately I found that I'd sometimes like to click on audio content people are sharing. I do and somehow expectedly I can't hear what Firefox starts playing.

Found OpenWith which allows to open an URL through its context menu with any configured external program.

Now I can open links to a lot of content by using FreeTube.

A good reason to not like #gitlab is there use of #cloudflare. With my #firefox and its cookie settings and blockers I can't log in, because cloudflare can't check the "security of my connection".

Sometimes listening isn't enough. Had to go into a video conference yesterday. Listening to music on my #Librem5 worked fine, but when I tried to get audio in the conference I remembered that my desktop is broken, because of this #Debian #Bookworm #Pipewire issue I wrote about.

I had to ask the other participants to wait, because I'd need to restart my desktop to get sound. Not funny if connected with people partly working on Apple devices.

#Workaround time: the major problem at the time being in my use case seems to be #Mozilla #Firefox and #Thunderbird leaving sockets to pipewire-#pulseaudio open.

I now run them using PULSE-SERVER=unix:/dev/null <program> and it seems they really do not connect to pipewire-pulse anymore and therefor can't leave its sockets open.

No sound in #Mozilla apps is o.k. - I can always run #ungoogled-#chromium if I need a page deliver sound.

#cloudflare does blocking me from loading a #kickstarter page because they have the impression that my browser might be to old to handle it. I just updated #firefox a few days ago to the at time of writing official version.

Yes, cloudflare might not be able to see the correct version because of settings making it harder to track my firefox, but should they care?

From every bad there comes something good: I had lost track of μArt and usb-serial-adapter and had searched for it. Using the name of the kickstarter product I couldn't access on kickstarter.com I searched crowdsupply and found the adapter I had remembered .

In the end cloudflare protected me from buying the wrong product, because they thought my browser is to old.

Just started using #pass to try it out.

In combination with #firefox it really works well and completely fits my use case.

A new function I had hoped for is that I'd be able to fill username/password fields of other applications without copy'n'past from a terminal or from qtpass.

I'm using wayland/gnome and tried to come up with an idea how to configure something to have the right click menu extended or an hotkey to show some menu to select a username or password to fill in the field the cursor is in.

In short a function as the P beside fields in Firefox.

Ideas?
