Are .ru sites safe?
  • Guy, I visit yandex.ru every day. It is my homepage.

    It seems to me that you did not read my message, so here is the repeat:

    1. yandex.ru was main domain of yandex for decades.
    2. yandex sold some of services to mail.ru group
    3. as part of that deal yandex.ru became a redirect to dzen.ru, which contains links to services run by both, yandex and mail.ru

    Here is even some proof of that: https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/russia-tightens-grip-media-yandex-sells-homepage-news-rival-vk-2022-08-23/

  • Are .ru sites safe?
  • Actually, yandex.ru is a thing. It was the main domain for yandex for many years and became a redirect to dzen.ru as part of a deal between yandex and mail.ru (another Russian tech company). But dzen.ru still contains yandex search string, so there is not a lot of difference.

  • Mozilla Firefox Blocks Add-Ons to Circumvent Russia Censorship
  • If Mozilla gets blocked, people would just install some other browser (probably, something from Russia). I do not see how this helps anyone but the government itself. And departure of hundreds (if not thousands) of western companies did nothing to the Russian government, some problems with a browser with almost non-existent userbase would have the same effect. It should be quite clear by now that such tactic simply does not work.

  • Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start
  • Well, I know it used to be available and officially supported through available installation script. I do not have bazzite installed right now and their website does not have a proper documentation, so I can not check if it is available now.

  • Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start
  • Fortunately, it does not usually cause high load, but it still exists. The only thing I can recomend here is to always check if the dependencies of any package you install in container require to run in the background and avoid those which do.

  • Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start
  • Maybe, I do not use bazzite and cannot check. But it used to be a feature. You can, of cause, start distrobox at startup, but literally running almost two operation systems might not be the best for performance and RAM usage.

  • Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start
  • Sorry for giving a rather useless advice. Of cause, you know about native packages, but since you are asking about flatpak, you, probably, have a reason to chose it. So, my original message was mostly intended as a joke, for which I am sorry.

  • Stay on Fedora or Switch to Void?
  • Well, it's up to you to decide if advantages of a distro are more significant to you then disadvantages.

    I would argue that the best part about void is not actually runit and xbps, but minimalist dependencies.

    I wouldn't care about unofficial status of hyprland package, since it is unofficial in most distros.

    And about the lack of some software. There is a thing, called xdeb, that allows you to automatically convert any deb package to xbps package (with correct dependencies). You can even automatically install them from any deb repository via xdeb-install tool.

  • Queer.af mastodon domain has been seized by the Taliban
  • From what I understand, their own domains are not actually decentralized. Each of them has it's own "authority" that can control what is or is not allowed to be registered. Emercoin domains look more promising, but I am not knowledgeable enough about them to say that they are actually decentralized. I would say that the closest thing to fediverse is DNS system in I2P, there different DNS providers federate with each other and share their records.

  • What are the major components of any Linux distribution?
  • Most C binaries usually do not contain everything needed for their execution. It would make them too platform-specific. What most c programs do is that they use standard c library from platform for low-level things and communication with the system like memory allocation or stdin/stdout things, for example.
