I think I found, at last, what I need, the extension is called Jshelter, it even changes the fingerprint when you reload a page.
It’s not always smooth, it doesn’t like Cloudflare human verification for example, but overall it works fine.
With 8 extensions (protected by Ublock and Jshelter) :
I tried Helium, but when you first open it, it asks for an “OK” on about 6-7 points of telemetry. Even though those 6-7 points are optional, it always makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know why. I installed it on Solus yesterday and same thing.
I’ve been using Ungoogled C. for many years now as a work browser and sometimes you got to move on. Helium is built on Ungoogled so I thought it would be ideal. On one hand I applaud Helium that it’s transparent enough to ask you for 6-7 points of telemetry…on the other hand it’s unsettling to give it permission to do many things underneath. (I’m adult enough to concede that maybe all of our paranoia’s come from not understanding something as we should?)
I wonder if there is any similar software for other celestial bodies of solar system, which gives in details the topography in 3D.
Would be cool if there is
I just discovered the build in compression tool in KDE, i am very impressed with tar.xz. It’s compressing a folder with alot of files from 185,3 MB to just 19 MB with maximal compression.
I used Winrar for over 30 years, but never achieved this kind of rate!.
XZ is quite strong in terms of compression, but very slow.
I tend to use more ZSTD. The compression isn’t quite as strong, but it’s much faster.
There was also the curious case of the XZ backdoor in 2024. It was swiftly addressed so it’s not an issue any more, and if I’m not mistaken it was never an issue under Arch as it was specifically a packaging exploit that didn’t translate to Arch. But, I thought I’d mention it as an interesting bit of history.
For a while I was actively uninstalling xz on any systems.
Just remember to backup the original file, corruption can and will happen at times (has happened to me a couple of times and boy did I regret relying on my compressed backups)
Can a searchtool reversely open and index the content? I have a fulltext search engine that does great with conventional archives, but won’t work with various newer archive formats, including RAR5 and up.
For now i only use it for my Dolphin emulator backups (compiled builds) as i refuse to use flatpak.
Would this require on where the file is and if the internet is able to connect. I may complain about my slow internet speed and older computer but the plus side because of this it is easier to spot when things are using more than they should.
@manuel why add a solution to a post ? Now the topic will be locked after 2 days.
fixed that 
also for data:
‘KML and Shapefile Downloads’. Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/GIS_Downloads (April 22, 2026).
Please provide the link to a working version. I installed wps from aur today, (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wps-office , and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wps-office-mime)and everything worked except the pdf part. when I tried to start it it did nothing. And no importing a pdf into any part of wps. Maybe I am missing something?
That is an older version.
You need to install the optional library libtiff5 for the PDF functionality to work.
Thanks for that @dalto. I will keep that in mind. Interestingly, I found another pdf app on aur a few minutes ago. It is named pdf-xchange. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pdf-xchange. Although it is not for Linux. It is a windows app actually, because during first start it called up wine. It did start up just fine, and seems to run well. Oh well. I give it a try, run it through the ringer, and see how it goes…
I have used pdf-exchange on Windows. It is pretty good.
I think if you want a native Linux application, onlyoffice seems to work well.
So is the mime download needed for wps? I see on aur that there are the same number of downloads of it as there are for wps. I figured I probably need it too.
