Don't ever give elevated permissions to an Avian Intelligence...

well today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is a bit bittersweet.

Back at the beginning of the month, I plotted all the projects on my remind(1) calendar, grouping various categories together. Two days ago, lynx¹, yesterday was Dillo², and today it was supposed to be #Firefox. Yet this week has been full of sad Firefox news, with them ignoring users' desires to keep AI rubbish out of the browser (or at least relegated to an optional plugin)

The browser that I started using as Netscape, grew to be Communicator, that kinda became Phoenix, then shed the non-browser functions off to Thunderbird (already got mentioned³) and became Firefox. Despite the rise of Chromium/Chrome, I still use Firefox as my daily driver web-browser for the modern web (rather than the *pleasant* web where lynx & Dillo serve me much better).

What used to be a "User Agent" has become something that no longer puts the *user* first. 😢

So in this time of wishes and gifts, I wish that the Firefox leadership team would take a strong look at what they're doing and change their course.

Watch out for the `bastille monitor` command in our next release!

This feature uses a `service status` check to verify that critical jailed services are running. If this check reports the service as down, Bastille will restart it automatically.

In the event that it cannot restart the service, alerts can be configured.

Usage:
bastille monitor [enable|disable|status]
bastille monitor TARGET [add|delete] service1,service2
bastille monitor TARGET list [service]
bastille monitor TARGET

Server stopped sending emails. This little tidbit had me figure out why and get it fixed. #MastoAdmin
