Ublock Origin

Youtube: SponsorBlock (skips ads within videos), DeArrow (replaces clickbait thumbnails & titles), Blocktube (block channels), Enhancer (Quality of Life features), Youtube-Shorts Block

Youtube Mobile: Youtube Vanced/Revanced Manager

Twitter: Minimal Theme extension

Tumblr: xKit/xKit Rewritten, Dashboard Unfucker, Stylus with "Old Tumblr Dashboard" userstyle

Spotify: xManager (desktop & mobile)

Firefox: High chance you'll love it and curse holding out for so long.

Linux: No whiney search box trying to Edge you, no ads in the start menu, no trending searches reminding you about celebrity gossip & politics.

i would move heaven and earth to avoid hearing one single advertisement

Quick Tumblr Backup Guide (Linux)

Go to www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps and click the "Register Application" button

Fill in the form. I used the following values for the required fields: Application Name - tumblr-arch Application Website - https://github.com/Cebtenzzre/tumblr-utils Application Description - tumblr archival instance based on tumblr-utils Adminstrative contact email - < my personal email > Default callback URL - https://github.com/Cebtenzzre/tumblr-utils OAuth2 redirect URLs - https://github.com/Cebtenzzre/tumblr-utils

Get the OAuth Consumer Key for your application. It should be listed right on the www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps page.

Do python things:

# check python version: python --version # I've got Python 3.9.9 # create a venv: python -m venv --prompt tumblr-bkp --upgrade-deps venv # activate the venv: source venv/bin/activate # install dependencies: pip install tumblr-backup pip install tumblr-backup[video] pip install tumblr-backup[jq] pip install tumblr-backup[bs4] # Check dependencies are all installed: pip freeze # set the api key: tumblr-backup --set-api-key <OAuth Consumer Key>

So far I have backed up two blogs using the following:

tumblr-backup --save-audio --save-video --tag-index --save-notes --incremental -j --no-post-clobber --media-list <blog name>

There have been two issues I had to deal with so far:

one of the blogs was getting a "Non-OK API repsonse: HTTP 401 Unauthorized". It further stated that "This is a dashboard-only blog, so you probably don't have the right cookies. Try --cookiefile." I resolved the issue by a) setting the "Hide from people without an account" to off and b) enabling a custom theme. I think only step a) was actually necessary though.

"Newly registered consumers are rate limited to 1,000 requests per hour, and 5,000 requests per day. If your application requires more requests for either of these periods, please use the 'Request rate limit removal' link on an app above." Depending on how big your blog is, you may need to break up the download. I suspect using the "-n COUNT" or "--count COUNT" to save only COUNT posts at a time, combined with the "--incremental" will allow you to space things out. You would have to perform multiple passes though. I will have to play with that, so I'll report back my findings.

Not to shill for Dashboard Unfucker, but it allows you to do this before you vote

and while it wont show you exactly the ratio, it will once you vote/ the poll ends

this, and many more are features you can toggle, incase you just want it for the one poll or all of them :)

honestly the worst thing about tumblrs poll feature is that after you've voted and can see the poll results, there's no way to screenshot it without revealing exactly what you voted for.

this means I cannot share things like the dnd smash or pass results with my friends who don't have tumblrs because then they'd know things like weather I think a centaur or a dragon is hotter, and I can't just like reveal that information to people

[delta-orionis]

tell me abt your fucked up laptop

Oh god where do I even begin.

It looks normal at first glance, but this thing has been through hell.

I've easily had this laptop for over a decade at this point. I can't remember when I got it- 2014 or 2015 I think. When I first got it it was pretty beefy for the time but it's definitely showing its age now. It's pretty heavy and sturdy- I've definitely dropped it once or twice.

This thing got me through all of college. It worked well for a while, but in 2018 the hard drive died. To this day I'm convinced that a Windows update is what bricked it. Thankfully I was able to get the hard drive replaced on very short notice because I was literally leaving for an internship the next week. It behaved for the duration of the internship.

At some point the screen started to malfunction- it behaved for the picture I took, but it likes to randomly flicker and even cut out entirely. It eventually got so bad that I stopped taking it places with me, and I just hooked it up to an external monitor and keyboard on my desk.

I eventually had to replace both the power cable and battery because it was neither charging nor holding charge. That worked well for a while, but eventually that battery died as well. It currently has no battery, and is directly hooked up to wall power. If I unplug it, it instantly dies.

At some point during all this, Windows forced an update to Windows 10, which absolutely throttled this poor thing's performance. I think it might have actually shipped with Windows 7 but it's been ten years and I honestly cannot even remember. Either way, it was already chugging on Windows 8, and 10 wasn't much better. I think updating this laptop to Windows 11 will actually kill it.

At this point it permanently lives on my desk as a glorified desktop computer. I don't even keep the lid open anymore. The few times I've tried to lift or move it while it's turned on, it will decide to randomly freeze or shut down, so I try not to touch it.

I'm absolutely terrified that the hard drive will randomly die again, so I also have this laptop permanently hooked up to an external hard drive that backs up the entire computer on a regular basis.

Oh, and among all of these other issues, a few weeks ago it randomly started making some very loud and concerning noises upon startup. They eventually die down though so I'm ignoring it.

TL;DR, my laptop is actively dying and is basically hooked up to permanent life support. I refuse to let it die, at least until I can afford a new computer.

I have a second low-spec laptop that was given to me a while ago for free because it basically didn't work- it was trying to run Windows 10 and literally took more than 45 minutes to boot up. That's not an exaggeration. When it did boot up, it ran so slowly that it was basically unusable. I couldn't even use it to check my email. So basically I was allowed to keep it if I could even get it to work in the first place, it was going to be thrown out otherwise.

I was able to revive it by wiping it and installing Linux (Lubuntu, a lightweight version of Ubuntu, to be specific) on it, and now it works perfectly fine. When I actually need a portable laptop for something I just use my Linux laptop instead.

When I finally get a proper PC I fully intend to wipe my Windows laptop and install Linux on it the exact same way, just to squeeze a few more years out of it if possible. I will not allow this thing to die on my watch.

(P.S. Before anyone asks, I use Stylus for my custom tumblr dashboard theme. I use the Old Tumblr Dashboard and Custom Background themes.)

The nightmare is those that stubbornly do nothing, running an unsupported OS. And the latest Windows zero-day confirmed in this week’s Patch Tuesday should give you all the motivation you need not to be in that group. Predictably, CVE-2025-29824 has now made CISA’s rogues’ gallery of known exploited vulnerabilities, with a mandated (for federal employees at least) update deadline of April 29.

This is a “use-after-free vulnerability that allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally” and which Microsoft warns is being exploited in multiple countries around the world, including the U.S. Confusingly, Microsoft’s advisory accompanying Patch Tuesday’s updates seemed to suggest Windows 10 users were missing out on this critical fix. But that’s only for those with outdated versions of the OS.

As Windows Latest told me, “Microsoft put out a confusing advisory that implied that the patch for CVE-2025-29824 isn’t available for Windows 10. The advisory dashboard clearly states that ‘The security update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems and Windows 10 for 32-bit Systems are not immediately available… That only applies to Windows 10 LTSB 2015, and all supported and newer versions of Windows 10, including Pro Edition have been patched.”

But it’s not all good news. Windows Latest has discovered that Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 update “begins testing the removal of one basic feature from the operating system: clock with seconds in the Calendar… I don’t think we’ll go back to how things were originally because Windows 10 isn’t the focus at Microsoft anymore, and it probably won’t consider the feedback."

More worryingly, Windows Latest also warns that “it looks like KB5002700 is completely botched up because it not only breaks Outlook Calendar but also crashes Word and Excel when you try to create a new document or spreadsheet.” This only applies to Office 2016, but “people on Windows 10 typically use it.”

[source]

so not only are they trying to scare tactic us into upgrading to windows 11 right now by trying to make us think we’re not getting major security updates anymore when we are, but they’re stealth breaking windows systems like the clock, outlook, word and excel to pressure us into upgrading sooner rather than later.

tell me why we shouldn’t just move to linux when windows 11 has been known to be unsafe, buggy and causing issues like BSoDs, and even as recently as the end of march it’s still got major reported issues that haven’t been patched out, including issues like potentially blue screen of deathing people trying to play games with easy anti cheat (like dead by daylight or elden ring), which as far as i can tell are still present now in april… trying to fear-monger us into updating asap to something that’s gained a reputation for being dodgy (and bad for gaming on). thanks but no thanks

Okay, changed from one version of Firefox to another for Linux reasons, and did a new login into tumblr, and now I got the new hideous dashboard look. Don't regret what I did exactly, but nasty surprise nevertheless.

(the linux reasons is that the distro I'm using, Debian deliberately ships the extended support release of Firefox, which is not frequently updated except for security reasons and is multiple version numbers behind the regular version. They do this because Debian in general follows that update schedule, because they focus on system stability. So feature updates don't happen until they have been thoroughly tested for any bugs. This is good, I like this philosophy of debian in general, and Firefox ESR is fine.

But I have installed flatpak capability on my version of debian. Flatpak is an alternative format for software packages for linux, which are more frequently updated than debian's own .deb software packages. And so I installed firefox as a flatpak to get a more up to date version with regular updates. Due to how flatpaks work and handle dependencies, these updates are unlike to cause any major issue on my system, so it's generally safe to install flatpaks, at least from trusted sources like Mozilla. and I'll keep the ESR version of Firefox as a backup.)
