In case anyone wants to review, I’ve got a fairly trivial update PR over here. Not urgent but it’d be nice to merge.
NixOS:master ← jchw-forks:update/ghidra
opened 12:31PM - 11 Jul 24 UTC
## Description of changes
Updates Ghidra from 11.1.1 to 11.1.2. Also, upgrade… s Ghidra to build and run with Gradle 8 and OpenJDK 21 to match the upstream.
Tested basic functionality on x86-64_linux.
Ghidraninja scripts needs binwalk. With #326295 applied it seems to compile and load up fine. Other plugins are working inside just this PR.
Tested basic functionality on aarch64-darwin.

still waiting for this to be reviewed, i consider this kinda important because i (and possibly others) want to switch to librewolf but cant because of this issue, some users may also have unknowingly been getting heavily fingerprinted while using librewolf and/or have experienced more compatibility issues than usual
NixOS:master ← cinnamonpancake:librewolf_ua_fix
opened 06:05PM - 19 Jun 24 UTC
## Description of changes
Due to a quirk in Firefox itself, the `--with-app-bas… ename` flag causes its argument to replace Firefox in the user agent string (if resistFingerprinting is disabled, as it cloaks the UA string) which hurts privacy by making users much easier to fingerprint, as well as hurting website compatibility (even preventing users from being able to install extensions from the Mozilla add-ons store, as it thinks the user is not on a Firefox-based browser, as mentioned in #260488)
The `general.useragent.compatMode.firefox` setting can be used to add Firefox to the user agent string, however it is still disabled by default, and it also doesn't remove LibreWolf from the string, which still severely hurts privacy.
Removing the flag doesn't seem to have any other significant effect, and it is no longer included in upstream LibreWolf for similar reasons. [https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/src/commit/d766054b586a28b4ddb5ec69d344886397da1137/assets/mozconfig.new](url)

NixOS:master ← herberteuler:fix/jetbrains-boot-java-runtime
opened 05:46AM - 25 Apr 24 UTC
## Description of changes
<!--

All JetBrain IDEs support setting the boot-time Java runtime, which is helpful in some cases. For example, I had the issue of `error reading /nix/store/liz01j673lwb0wzkrykg39a7z388fy41-mps-2023.2/mps/lib/app.jar; Invalid CEN header (invalid zip64 extra data field size)` with an old version of JetBrains MPS. Similar issues have been [reported](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/MPS-36113) and the recommended solution at the time was to change the boot-time JDK.
This setting can be changed, for example, as described [here for MPS](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/mps/switching-boot-jdk.html), but also [similarly for other JetBrains IDEs](https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879-Selecting-the-JDK-version-the-IDE-will-run-under), by creating `*.jdk` files in `~/.config/JetBrains/*`. JetBrain's scripts will then load them for the boot time JDKs. For example, `~/.config/JetBrains/MPS2023.3/mps.jdk` is generated for MPS 2023.3 and `~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2024.1/idea.jdk` is generated for IntelliJ Ultimate 2024.1.
Unfortunately, the current wrapper scripts ignore such settings and always enforce the Java runtime chosen at installation time.
This PR fixes the wrapper scripts so that they respect boot-time JDK settings. It achieves the goal by tweaking the procedure that sets environment variables. For example, while the two variables were set directly for MPS as below:
```
export MPS_JDK=${MPS_JDK-'/nix/store/a9hjq76qi7acm4pfi928ih7z70d5bndj-jetbrains-jdk-jcef-17.0.8-b1000.8/lib/openjdk'}
export MPS_VM_OPTIONS=${MPS_VM_OPTIONS-''}
```
They are now only set when boot-time JDKs are not set, as below:
```
CONFIG_HOME="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-${HOME}/.config}/JetBrains/MPS2023.3"
if [[ ! -s "$CONFIG_HOME/mps.jdk" ]]; then
export MPS_JDK=${MPS_JDK-'/nix/store/grdjncqiwimlbgpgxvbadbnrfvybvaz6-jetbrains-jdk-jcef-21.0.3-b465.3/lib/openjdk'}
fi
export MPS_VM_OPTIONS=${MPS_VM_OPTIONS-''}
VMOPTS_PATTERN="$CONFIG_HOME/*.vmoptions"
VMOPTS="$(echo $VMOPTS_PATTERN)"
if [[ -s "$VMOPTS" ]]; then
export MPS_VM_OPTIONS="$MPS_VM_OPTIONS $(cat "$VMOPTS")"
fi
```
Loading of `*.jdk` files is then delegated to the corresponding upstream scripts. Note also that the `*.vmoptions` files are also treated specially.
