Starting to play again and looking for advice or a track to follow. by reboot6675 in c/guitars@lemmy.world

I have considered buying the Next Level Playing course from Paul Davids when I have some time to really dedicate myself to it. I used to follow his YouTube channel and the guy is very good so I assume the course is worth it. Note that I haven't actually taken the course so I can't say for sure. Also I am not affiliated in any way.

What I find interesting about it is that it has a laid out learning path, and covers not only the technical part of playing but also the musical part like scales, modes, improvising, chord progressions.

However it's not cheap so maybe try to look for some reviews online before buying.

Ticketmaster not working on Firefox by reboot6675 in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

Thanks for the pointers!

For now, changing the user-agent as suggested in another comment did the trick. Later I will try to debug with your steps and see if I can track down the root cause.

Wow, Chameleon worked perfectly!! I put ticketmaster.com in the whitelist, profile with Chrome, and boom, it loaded. I tried re-enabling uBlockOrigin and Privacy Badger and still works.

Troubleshooting mode didn't work so it's very weird, I don't know what kind of checks this website is making. Anyways thanks for the help!

Didn't know about this website. Thanks!

Although, does it really count as compatibility issue? Since it worked on Firefox on my work laptop but not on my personal laptop, I thought of it more as a browser configuration or settings issue

Hey so I've been having this issue where the Ticketmaster website (no matter which country) does not work on Firefox... It just shows that message in the image.

I've tried disabling my VPN, uBlockOrigin, Privacy Badger, Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection, but no avail. I had to use G**gl* Chr*m* the other day to buy a ticket. Weird enough, I just tried using Firefox in my work laptop and the site worked without issues, even with uBlockOrigin and Privacy Badger enabled.

Any tips that might solve this without resetting my whole browser to default settings? Thanks!

What should we be using to develop web apps? by reboot6675 in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

[-] reboot6675@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It really depends on the kind of website. Is it a blog? an e-commerce? a static website? a full blown web application?

Node.js has been a popular backend choice for years. On the frontend there are frameworks such as React, but that's overkill in many cases. Nowadays I've been meaning to look into Hugo and htmx

Export your notes from Microsoft OneNote to markdown by reboot6675 in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

Have you tried exporting to .docx? If that works maybe you can take it from there somehow

OneNote does not have export to plaintext files. However I found this cool little program to export all my notes to markdown in one go.

But, turns out that OneNote only lets you export to .docx if you have Word installed too, so you need to have that (the program then converts the .docx to .md with Pandoc).

Anyway, just sharing it here in case someone finds it useful to get away from vendor-locked notes. There are a few different projects on GitHub that do this, but this one was the one that worked best for me.

Best Firefox Extensions? by reboot6675 in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

[-] reboot6675@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

My 2 cents:

LeechBlock - for blocking distracting websites on schedules
Unhook - for hiding YouTube recommended videos, comments and other distractions
Privacy Badger - for blocking trackers

Any recommendation for basic PDF tools? by reboot6675 in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I'm not looking for a full PDF editor. Only to do tasks like merging and splitting PDFs, removing pages, or creating a PDF from a bunch of images.

https://www.ilovepdf.com is very handy, but I don't like the idea of uploading my documents to them, especially if they have sensitive data.

Apps/Extensions that feed random fingerprinting data? Something I'd call "offensive privacy tools". by reboot6675 in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

There is this thing: https://trackthis.link/. It's a bit limited but the principle is kind of similar
