This is excellent news. This is one of the biggest features that I've wanted out of Firefox for years, and one of the reasons I've kept Chromium as a secondary browser all this time.

I do remember seeing a community-made GitHub project that added a profile switcher to Firefox, which looked pretty good, but it also required installing an executable somewhere on the system, which I'm not exactly keen on.

I think Zen Browser has a built-in profile switcher, but it also changes a bunch of core UI elements... I just want Firefox with a profile switcher, lol.

In regards to email aliasing services, addy.io is the only one I know of other than SimpleLogin, which is owned by Proton AG--so if you want to get away from Proton, SimpleLogin isn't an option. Both of these services are recommended on privacyguides.org.

Some email services allow you to use a domain you own, which theoretically should give you unlimited aliases to work with, but may not be as privacy-focused as the email address is only as anonymous as your registered domain.

Personally, I prefer the 'pseudonymous' aliases that addy.io and Proton Pass give (it's usually something like random.words123@passmail.net in the case of Proton).

If anyone has good experiences with other aliasing services that provide this option, please let us know.

I can only speak for myself here, but you could give Limo a try. It's Linux-native (so you don't have to run it through Wine, unlike Vortex & Mod Organizer 2), the UI works well enough for my needs, and it has Nexus Mods support (you just give it an API key in the settings, so it can download mods for you). You'll want to read the documentation for it though, to understand what "Data" and "Bin" mean when installing mods, deployment methods, LOOT integration, etc.

Yep, been self-hosting it locally for a while now. To put simply, I archive anything that is within my personal realm of interest that I believe has a chance to be deleted, and is important to keep a copy of. It could be troubleshooting tips for specific tech issues, things that may be under threat of takedown, or maybe just an article I like and want a local copy of. It's a wonderful tool.

A friendly reminder to everyone to check out ArchiveBox if you're looking for a self-hosted archiving solution. I've been using it for a while now and it works great; it can be a little rough around the edges at times, but I think it's a wonderful tool. It's allowed me to continue saving pages during the Internet Archive's outage.

Also worth mentioning: osu!lazer has a native Linux build, whereas osu!stable still requires WINE to run on Linux. That's something I was very glad to see.

Use Mullvad, unless you absolutely require port forwarding.

At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us.

The passive-aggressive bragging... this comes off as nonprofessional to me, like "we could sue the pants off this person if we wanted to". Why does the public even need to hear this part in particular? It sounds like something that should be privately communicated to the alleged defamer, not the public. It's a little odd in my opinion...

Regardless, I am interested in seeing the full report and I'll keep a close eye on this.

I would try what the other commenter here said first. If that doesn't fix your issue, I would try using the Forge version of WebUI (a fork of that WebUI with various memory optimizations, native extensions and other features): https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge. This is what I personally use.

I use a 6000-series GPU instead of a 7000-series one, so the setup may be slightly different for you, but I'll walk you through what I did for my Arch setup.

Me personally, I skipped that Wiki section on AMD GPUs entirely and it seems the WebUI still respects and utilizes my GPU just fine. Simply running the webui.sh file will do most of the heavy lifting for you (you can see in the webui.sh file that it uses specific configurations and ROCm versions for different AMD GPU series like Navi 2 and 3)

  1. Git clone that repo, git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge stable-diffusion-webui (the stable-diffusion-webui directory name is important, webui.sh's script seems to reference that directory name specifically)
  2. From my experience it seems webui.sh and webui-user.sh are in the wrong spot, make symlinks to them so the symlinks are at the same level as the stable-diffusion-webui directory you created: ln stable-diffusion-webui/webui.sh webui.sh (ditto for webui-user.sh)
  3. Edit the webui-user.sh file. You don't really have to change much in here, but I would recommend export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--theme dark" if you want to save your eyes from burning.
  4. Here's where things get a bit tricky: You will have to install Python 3.10, there is warnings that newer versions of Python will not work. I tried running the script with Python 3.12 and it failed trying to grab specific pip dependencies. I use the AUR for this; use yay -S python310 or paru -S python310 or whatever method you use to install packages from the AUR. Once you do that, edit webui-user.sh so that python_cmd looks like this: python_cmd="python3.10"
  5. Run the webui.sh file: chmod u+x webui.sh, then ./webui.sh
  6. Setup will take a while, it has to download and install all dependencies (including a model checkpoint, which is multiple gigabytes in size). If you notice it errors out at some points, try deleting the entire venv directory from within the stable-diffusion-webui directory and running the script again. This actually worked in my case, not really sure what went wrong...
  7. After a while, the webUI will launch. If it doesn't automatically open your browser, then you can check the console for the URL, it's usually http://127.0.0.1:7860. Select the proper checkpoint in the top left, write down a test prompt and hopefully it should be pretty speedy, considering your GPU.

Yes, I torrent on the same machine where all my personal stuff is. The biggest reason for this is that I don’t have a dedicated machine to torrent 24/7, though I’d definitely like to set that up at some point. I like being able to seed niche torrents to those who need them, and a machine seeding 24/7 would definitely help with that. Also having easy simple access to the downloaded files is always a plus, but there’s a myriad of ways to do this over a local network (pretty sure some torrenting clients even have an option to torrent over LAN).

My torrent client is bound to my VPN’s network interface, and my VPN has a killswitch as well, so I’m not paranoid that things will suddenly leak. Been running this setup for months now without issues.

Yes, Proton Mail Bridge. I use it with KMail, works pretty well, I’d say.

Edit: I think this client is only for desktop, however. Android users will have to find another option.
