@securestep9 It looks client-side so you could get the same info from dev tools no?

#Windows experts, can you answer this without trying:

How many times do you need to press the down arrow to select C:\Users\Public?

#UX #UI

Session timeouts[1] provide great examples of #compliance disconnects from reality:

When booking for events it *always* takes *days* to get from registering for an event and getting there to show your QR or whatever. And while an attacker who hijacks your session has 0 benefit from accessing it for a prolonged time, somehow #security finds it crucial that users are auto logged-out after 30mins.

It would take just a *tiny* bit of thinking to avoid making things worse for everyone.

Re: this one I'm still curious how I could tell which document node triggered a network event (denied, with an img Initiator) I see in dev tools. I can't find the corresponding URL by searching in Inspector, DeepSeek hallucinates all the solutions, maybe @freddy has a tip?

#Firefox

@jerry @dey I can see the Initiator is an img, but I can't find anything seemingly related in inspector + network rectord don't tell me what code initiated a request. That's the status.

@dey @jerry But I'm not using Mastodon, this is an Akkoma instance. And this only happens if I scroll back to the point in my timeline when I first got this notif. It'd be really weird if this behavior didn't trigger at around page load.

@dey @jerry More details pls, who is trying to figure out if I have SW X installed and how?

@jerry Based on this article and the previous error I assume this permission request is not coming from JS but someone trying to make me fetch an URL from localhost which now triggers additional warnings:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-personal-device-local-network-permissions-firefox

At this point I'm not sure if it should be illegal for posts to contain references to localhost.

@jerry I came here to drink wine and scroll, and I'm just out of wine!

@jerry It *is* timeline dependent! I had to scroll back more than a day (I stupidly overwritten the original screenshot with the crop, but the timestamp helped).

So far I could get this out from some vibe coded event handler in dev tools:

"Local Network Access permission required: top-level site “https://infosec.place/”, initiator “https://infosec.place/”, attempting to access target “http://localhost:3000/assets/images/og-card.png” (127.0.0.1:3000) via http. Secure context: True"

@jerry Original timestamp of the image:

It's the first time I see such request ever (not just here).

Umm why does infosec.place "access my device"?
