I spent a long time messing about with librewolf&#39;s DNS over HTTPS settings and got nowhere. Firefox was able to resolve the local urls, as was curl in the terminal. Eventually realised that firefox was running as a native app, but librewolf I had installed as a flatpak. Uninstalled the flatpak, installed the native version, and it all works. Apparently this has been an issue since 2020, but is quite tricky to fix. #linux 2026-08-04T00:10:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf8gcmnqaaghf2q7lknzfszvlcghwe9p8vmpund6lap7jxqrr4s7czyq5fcd4ve056e5mkmruulgkwzj3kver4gdk32aj3jk0m67mel6edgqhl5k6 Slightly soggy kookaburra sunning itself after a quick dip in our pool.<br/> <img src="https://cdn.theblower.au/media_attachments/files/117/028/625/261/532/245/original/efac0de308221ab4.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-08-02T23:59:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs88ap3yqw2uxf7d3vej4v3pen5mpknu6ahvzxm6h9qdvd7s49dvfszyq5fcd4ve056e5mkmruulgkwzj3kver4gdk32aj3jk0m67mel6edg4cpkrm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw3zx5cwse0na620f2rmrxf9ymjyak2c68arqfa9pj0yws7ka2wkc7d5lc8'>nevent1q…5lc8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>planescape: torment, an excellent choice. :blobcat_monoclehat: 2026-03-15T02:31:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9m594j2negpxkcag5evepxmgmlh8j03zyfm5dmcnfnk4f6gt67zgzyq5fcd4ve056e5mkmruulgkwzj3kver4gdk32aj3jk0m67mel6edgjxl09f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs85r0thhy0xfrp2g422ra543phhz6mhdy02xefnj5hpazwljxgprqzxcec3'>nevent1q…cec3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>that’s what I would call a “catalogue pose”, as if the beret-wearing man is in an advert for kilts in “Gentleman’s Attire Monthly” magazine. 2025-09-17T02:46:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdkquvnwgrykud9nshulr5taerqgxrky5apcccyru35utf7n98eyqzyq5fcd4ve056e5mkmruulgkwzj3kver4gdk32aj3jk0m67mel6edg7dzryz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspdk78mtnk8mma4znexd67ae5kkmnc9yld6j4q8fu62wafjz9s4tsht072k'>nevent1q…072k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>sorry to hear that.
