so, do you suggest to drop them both from archive (its not like we don't have plenty of other apps for such use case) and improvement in security and freedom of archive might be enough big to simply remove them from pureos archive (we can always change that in future if it changes)

seems smplayer (authored by same upstream as smtube) is sloppy about executing external code: As an example, if youtube parsing fails then it offers to download updated javascript code for parsing - from insecure URL!

mak closed T126: OEM image formats wrong hdd? as Resolved.

It should actually not show that prompt, but I haven't yet found a sane way to tell mkfs to override existing partitions without also having it ignore potential other issue that we do not want to ignore.

kakaroto added a comment to T126: OEM image formats wrong hdd?.

Humm, ok,well, it's not intuitive because it asks for confirmation *after* it already repartitioned the disc (and yes, even without reformatting it's bad), but I guess it can be closed since technically, it's OEM and it shouldn't be running on a machine which is not meant to be wiped.. but in that case, just drop the "hdd already has a partition, are you sure you want to delete?" prompt since it's useless.

Jul 26 2017, 15:38 · Restricted Project
mak added a comment to T126: OEM image formats wrong hdd?.

I am not sure if this is actually a bug - as soon as you hit the OEM install button, the OEM script will wipe all disks without asking, to ensure they are in a pristine state and contain a filesystem.
I changed the preferences for where the OS gets installed a while back, so in case we find something where we think that it is an SSD, the disk will be preferred over HDDs on the same machine.

I disagree there is any issue here at all, and recommend to *not* apply the Parabola patch, as it seems to be a result of simple search'n'replace for _potentially_ bad strings - without then checking sanity of the resulting changes.

After a lot of investigating and comparing sites that do and do not work, this is caused by some bug or misconfiguration where the browser does not handle SSL extended master secrets correctly. To cut a very long story short, we can work around it by setting security.ssl.enable_alpn to false.
