I had a restful day off from work although I had a sleep into around midday I then headed down to the supermarket to pick up some soup and fresh bread for dinner which is a nice way to feel warmed up after a day of rain and wind. I’ve been enjoying some YouTube videos although I have to admit that I prefer avoiding politics because it becomes very much repetitive – once you heard the bad news one I don’t think much is gained hearing it on repeat but said by a different commentator. It is something that I see all to often with the extreme of being completely ignorant at one extreme with the other extreme being of someone so engaged that one is sitting around huffing farts from ones favourite talking head even if what they’re saying is entirely devoid of detail other than it getting you angry and worked up.
The UniFi Access Point (U7 and E7 models) 8.2.17 has been released and is available straight away (at least it was for me). I’ve updated my UniFi Access Point U7 Pro Max to 8.2.17, it took a few minutes as it had to install then reboot once back up online I have a rock solid connection and I also noticed it was slightly more responsive but I’ll wait for a few days to see if I notice any other changes. My laptop is WiFi 7 compatible so it connections via 6GHz which insulates the connection from the growing popularity of 5GHz networks where I live (still not as bad as the amount of 2.4GHz that is causing a decent amount of interference).
This week is when the October Patch Tuesday will be made available along with any other associated updates however I maybe lucky enough have have the 25H2 made available but I have a feeling that Microsoft will want to test it before allowing it to be deployed to Microsoft Surface laptop devices. uBlock Origin Lite version 2025.1012.1712 has been released with some filter updates along with bug fixes for Safari – it has appeared in the Microsoft Edge store however it is waiting for approval on the Apple and Chrome stores.
It has been a while so I logged into the WECG meetings minutes to see how things are progressing in terms of adding more functionality to Declarative Net Request (DNR) and the project regarding the equivalent of WPT for web standards but geared up for MV3 compliance testing to ensure that implementation bugs are detected and fixed in a timely manner. Something tells me that Google and Firefox will fix bugs quickly and Apple will keep dragging its feet every step of the way. At the rate things are going I wonder whether Apple should just throw in the towel and adopt Chromium because it is clear their Webkit team don’t seem to have the motivation to fix bugs and add functionality in a timely manner to the point it resembles Microsoft Edge in the pre-Chromium days.
I used to feel unproductive at first because I didn’t feel as though I was using my time efficiently when i had a lazy day at home – the idea that I have freetime and I should use it for something productive. What I have found is that by having a lazy day it allows me to be more productive after I’ve fully rested. Having those breaks makes all the difference when working as well – avoid being burnt out at work by ensuring that after work you find a health way of unwinding and then having a good night sleep so then the next day you’re ready to do it all over again.
