| Keres | ok, now that i have totaly dissed the entire open source community... its my fault. | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| Keres | there IS site blocking on the router | 00:12 |
| xtao | hehe | 00:12 |
| Keres | it was put there years ago for the teachers kids | 00:12 |
| xtao | that HSTS error means the site has sent an HTTP header that states it *must* connect using https and for some reason it's being denied or redirected to http | 00:12 |
| xtao | so yeah. made some sense that something was man in the middle the connection | 00:13 |
| Keres | well the nice thing is that Falcon browser is nice -=) | 00:13 |
| raccoon_dog | Yeah -- see, this is why I asked before how you were connecting. But here's my question about that. You said other browsers were working? | 00:14 |
| xtao | yeah you said chrome worked. i would have thought chrome enforced HSTS headers too. so that seems weird | 00:15 |
| raccoon_dog | Right. | 00:15 |
| Keres | yeah, but this is not the only network that firefox blocks stuff on | 00:16 |
| Keres | happens at home as well | 00:16 |
| Keres | just not as bad as here | 00:16 |
| Keres | but that's an older 18.10 install | 00:16 |
| raccoon_dog | So, you only experience blocking on Firefox? At home or elsewhere? Never on Chromium-based browsers? | 00:23 |
| Keres | yeah once in a while firefox blocks some site, which is why i thought that was the problem again. | 00:25 |
| Keres | i mean, any linux user is going to have problems | 00:25 |
| Keres | like when a site tells you that it only uses firefox or chrome | 00:26 |
| Keres | and you have both,,, but nothing works | 00:26 |
| Keres | like the menu on turbotax.com | 00:26 |
| Keres | jsut doesnt show up | 00:26 |
| raccoon_dog | Yeah, that's unusual. I've used Firefox and Chromium-based browsers on Linux for years, and if a site is optimized for either of those kinds of browsers, it works. | 00:27 |
| oxek | there were cases of websites demanding a windows user agent string | 00:35 |
| ScienceMr | Some websites require the browser to accept a: Certificate in order to browse that site. | 04:02 |
| ScienceMr | In some cases Firefox gives you a choice to accept or decline or proceed at your own risk. | 04:03 |
| ScienceMr | Google also warns about known malicious websites. | 04:04 |

| Maik | ScienceMr: yeah true but it's weird Keres visits sites that are accessible to all of us without any issue. Like reddit and the ubuntu forums. | 04:46 |
| Maik | it just doesn't make any sense | 04:47 |
| raccoon_dog | Apparently it's a router thing, but I'm still perplexed. | 04:53 |
| raccoon_dog | Since other browsers don't block it, and those browsers work fundamentally the same way. | 04:53 |
| ScienceMr | It could be a firewall block due to possible DDOS Distributed Denial Of Service. | 05:15 |

| ScienceMr | Your IP may block certain Ports. I know that Comcast changed the default email port to another due to SPAM. | 05:17 |
| ScienceMr | Most email accounts use a Web Browser rather than a SMTP Client. | 05:18 |
| Maik | nah... i bet they just fooled us... first they saud Xubuntu 18.10 then they said it was a Mint machine... we were just being trolled imho | 05:24 |
| Maik | saud/said | 05:25 |
| raccoon_dog | That's right. They did say it was both a Xubuntu 18.10 and then Mint. | 05:27 |
| raccoon_dog | I just scrolled up. | 05:27 |
| raccoon_dog | And then they said they "upgraded" from 18.10 to 20.10, and when pressed, said it was a "fresh install". So not really an upgrade in the traditional sense. | 05:28 |
| Maik | yep | 05:28 |
| raccoon_dog | If it was a troll, they were also doing it in the Firefox official channel. | 05:29 |
| * raccoon_dog sighs and shakes head. | 05:29 | |
| Maik | also: <Keres> ok, now that i have totaly dissed the entire open source community... its my fault. | 05:29 |
| Maik | <Keres> there IS site blocking on the router | 05:29 |
| Maik | honestly... some of the Mint community love to troll, i've been around ther for a few months to know how things go down there | 05:30 |
| ScienceMr | It all depends upon the Router. Generic routers are limited. CISCO rack mounted routers are a different beast. | 05:32 |
| Maik | anyhoo.. i'm off to bed, 6:32 AM over here. Happy new year to all and i wish you all the best for this year. | 05:32 |
| ScienceMr | Ubuntu servers can be used as routers. | 05:32 |
| ScienceMr | IPTables IPChains look that up. | 05:33 |
| ScienceMr | Good night and sleep well. | 05:33 |
| ScienceMr | :) | 05:33 |
| raccoon_dog | Maik: See you. | 05:35 |
| raccoon_dog | Happy New Year. | 05:35 |
| Maik | o/ :) | 05:37 |
| ScienceMr | Racoon_dog are you running a Ubuntu Desktop or Server? | 05:48 |
| raccoon_dog | Desktop (Xubuntu 20.04.1 LTS to be specific.) | 06:16 |
| ScienceMr | I see. LTS is a good choice. | 06:36 |
| ScienceMr | I am using AMD64 Xubuntu version 4.4.0-197-generic gcc veersion 5.4.0 | 06:40 |
| ScienceMr | This is the Server_Desktop | 06:41 |
| ScienceMr | X11 can always be disabled if necessary. | 06:41 |
| ScienceMr | I have used Xubuntu Console Web Browser. | 06:43 |
