Hey 👋 I’m Lemann: mark II
I like tech, bicycles, and nature.
Otherwise known as; @lemann@lemmy.one and @lemann@lemmy.world
Nothing concerning for me here personally. However, if you have an issue with Firefox’s ‘QoL’ features dependent on Mozilla infrastructure, you could consider Librewolf instead as an alternative.
As for the reverse lookup requests, those are targeting local multicast addresses on your internal network, except the last one which is for the Fastly CDN service
I’m rooted to…
If I wanted a heavily curated (and somewhat locked down) experience, I’d be in the Apple ecosystem - don’t know why Google thinks it’s a great idea to force this ideology onto practically all Android users…
Similar situation with that additional warning for sideloading apps - there’s already two warnings and Play Protect typically uninstalls these apps anyway, without the user’s consent - in one case deleting KDE Connect from users’ devices if installed with F-Droid
Uhh I definitely went off on a tangent, oops.
My mind skipped over the duplicate words until you pointed it out lol
In my city? Really great, since people ride a fair bit here and there’s a lot of protected and off-road routes that are correctly labelled. I have my settings set to choose a slightly longer route, instead of just the fastest. If I remember correctly, there were also settings for whether on/off road directions are preferred. I’m pretty much kept on bike paths all the time
I don’t use navigation in the areas with cobblestone paths here though so can’t comment on that.
For the bike map view I’ve enabled the clock widget, speed widget, and track recorder widget, as well as a shortcut to quickly toggle it on. I set it up about 2 years ago when my bicycle computer was stolen, haven’t changed anything since.
Download it from F-Droid store instead, the Play Store option only exists for funding AFAIK
Some websites I know actually do this - usually end up getting around it by using selectors to identify elements nested in a particular order, rather than using class names. Nowhere near as reliable though
I have to admit I’m not entirely convinced these requests are coming from a compiler…
Is it possible for you to virtualize an non-networked system with your GPU passed through? That seems like the best option IMO. Next best thing would be to set up an airgapped machine just for this, but not everyone has a 2nd machine.
Personally when I was trying out local LLMs I used a virtual machine, mainly due to the known code execution vulnerability related to Tensorflow model data being saved in python’s Pickle format. I believe the recommended save method changed twice since those days though.
With the Firefox stuff I’m assuming you’ve also checked their enterprise config options too (which are admittedly difficult to find and piece together online), so not too sure what else you could do except aside from continuing to block them. Librewolf however provides documentation on how to disable the extra requests sent from their browser in their FAQ, and covers some preferences on the subsequent page linked at the bottom
