I'm a bit lazy to test it out myself, but is it safe to assume that images uploaded as forum attachments won't be indexed by search engines?
I'd assume the opposite, this (mostly) a public forum.

Yeah but users who are not logged in can't see images and I think hotlinking the image from another site won't work.
So the only way a crawler gets to it is if it follows a direct link.

Correct. But that is just a question of removing the Referer: header. And any decent crawler will try an URL with and without Referer: to cross-check whether there are webserver rules about that. i.e. a crawler is not limited by webbrowser security rules.

P.S. The galleries method to avoid crawlers is much more elaborate (and better). i.e. there is a hash in the URL itself.

Mega's tech support seems to be non-existent.

Okay, I'm now switching over to Firefox Quantum as my main browser.
I wouldn't say its better than my old Chromium in every way and I do miss it sometimes but I think overall, it's a change for the better.

Why do the Chinese like to call portable software as "green"? E.g. Portable Edition is written instead as "Green Edition". (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

As the days went by, I felt Firefox is starting to not work out for me. The roughness around the edges seem to be showing.

Smooth scroll seems to behaves awkwardly sometimes.
There's no open image in new tab without extensions.
And now, there's no print to pdf function without extensions.

I'll just keep using it for a while more and see how it goes...

Quantum is starting to depress me.

I don't know if I necessarily want to use Waterfox or Palemoon, but kind of unhappy with Mozilla effectively being an alternate version of Chrome. I know this isn't a new rabbit hole, but Quantum really blew it up.

Probably will give it a bit more time before I start switching/evaluating.

A few weeks ago i switched from Vivaldi to Firefox. It was quite painful but i did it. I found alternatives to all my extensions. Even if there's no such tools like in Vivaldi to make screenshots and copy em to clipboard, view history with graphs, add notes and customize all the shit i want to, i dont need it, i thought. It is fast and that's all I need. Then I noticed memory leak in firefox (6G of ram in 2 days with just a few tabs). Okay i thought, i will google and fix it. But then Quantum happened. 60% of my extensions doesnt work anymore. Few of working ones has a lot of bugs. New flat design and I cant do anything to change it. Fuck. Now I switched back to Vivaldi.

It's just a shitty Chromium rebrand that comes with a native adblocker that also inserts its own ads (so the makers of the browsers can generate revenue)
Just stick with Chromium (or Chrome if you're okay with that) and install a decent adblocker like uBlock Origin

I actually used one for a few years. Had a game that I never bothered changing the keybinding for but my laptop didn't have a number pad.

Hamburgers are called HAMburgers but usually contain no pork products. I know that they're not named for having pork products in them, but this sometimes bothers me in the middle of the night.

The traditional biyearly vimfile cleanup is always such a cathartic and poignant experience
