Iridium screen reboots frequently

I bought an Iridium second hand on Reverb a couple months ago, had been working perfectly up until two day's ago. Did a bit of a studio re-arrange that required I move all my synths...now after connecting it back up, the screen just auto reboots randomly anywhere from 3-8 minutes it seems...what the heck is going on?

I say the 'screen' reboots because when it happens, none of the pad lights or other lights on the console go out, just seems like the display reboots.

problem with cache on openbsd

Hello guys, I ask here because on openbsd libera chat channel told me that this is not a problem that concern openbsd.

Then I have an openbsd 7.3 virtual machine that is running of virtualbox.

The problemi is pretty easy and concern the freshness of the page. I saw this problem especially on facebook and reddit. For example I browse some sub on reddit I see that there are 10 comments on a post but the info about that post are not fresh. If I go around the sub and I go to the same post the comments are the same than before, that means that are not updated. To have the real comments I have to manual update the page clicking on the reload button. Sometime I have force the reload clicking the button + shift key. As I remember I never had this problem on linux or windows. Actually I use iridium browser and it's the same like I have in chromium. To be honest I suspect to be victim of some kind of mitm attack and the freshness of the pages has something to do with an hidden proxy. But to be more sure I have to exclude any other reasons.

Talking about facebook I have a double aspect. I'm a moderator of a facebook group. If you're a moderator on a such group you know that your have a side bar on left where are some link like "message to approve". Well I always see the number of real post to approve but if I click on this link to show the posts to approve the space is empty. That means that the sidebar has fresh data but the space in the center it's not.

Obviously cache is in ~/.cache/iridium for iridium and ~/.cache/chromium for chromium.

EDIT: version 2023.03.111.0

I also want remember you that openbsd has a kind of jail for browser like apparmor on linux. So that the process is not free to explore the filesystem as other process. It's called unveil (to filter syscall to the filesystem) and pledge (to filter all the other and uneeded syscall).

Thanks so much and be happy.

Is Iridium dead?

There hasn't been a new version for ages now. The latest Chromium version seems to be 115 not 100.

Windows Builds

So it seems as of late that the Iridium project has been updating the source code and releasing binaries for the Linux distros the team is familiar with compiling. It does not seem, however, that they've been very keen on keeping up with binaries for Windows, and outside of the generic instructions for building vanilla Chromium, there just doesn't seem to be enough information out there about how to do a good Windows compilation for this project. Any advice out there?

Recovering WhatsApp chats from WhatsApp Web App in Linux

I have WhatsApp Web App in Iridium browser in Manjaro Gnome. It was synced with my main WhatsApp account. A month ago that account's primary phone was damaged courtesy of water and it hasn't recovered yet after multiple repair attempts. I haven't logged into WhatsApp Web App in my system since, with that or any other account. Is there any way that I can restore the messages, account or atleast some content inside the messages via the Iridium Browser data for WhatsApp Web App in Linux?

Iridium GO antenna connector replacement? Has anyone ever opened the GO case?

I have a 3 year old GO and I am having trouble with the external antenna connector (narrowed it down that far). I don't want to send it in for service nor spend any more money on it. I'm great with a soldering iron but I'm looking for tips as to how to get inside the thing.

This browser is not safe anymore and the project seems dead.

The last version of Iridium is 2020.11, so more thank half a year old. With critical security issues as this North Korean zero-date exploit it is not safe to use chrome below version 88.0.4324.150 (5 Feb 2021) any more.

While the issus was mentioned on github (#325), no one of the dev team has responded yet. With that it is safe to assume that the project is practically dead.

Thanks for all the fish, but I am ready to leave. Maybe ungoogled-chromium is the best alternative? What do you think?

Thank You - Iridium Developers

Quick thanks to the devs on this project. We need this browser more than ever. Mozilla as an org seems to be going downhill fast, and the firefox client doesn't seem to be all that great anymore. (my opinion)

I can't sync my google account with Iridium

Hi everyone, I recently changed for iridium in order to enjoy chrome's extensions without neglecting privacy, but as it turns out, I can't sync in my google account with this browser: every time I try to connect I got this "404 error page not found" thing. Anyone having this same problem? Does someone know how to solve it? Any help appreciated.

Show full url in address bar

Hello,

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I did a search and couldn't find it. I just came over from Firefox and one of the things I appreciate about that browser it it always shows the full url. I still get the lock icon which I can click to view certificate information, but it doesn't hide the https or www portions of the web address.

Doing some research, I found this is a feature issue that first appeared in Chrome 76. Back then, it seems you were allowed to go to chrome://flags and turn this off, but when searching for these options they appear to no longer exist. I've tried and failed to find updated guides on this topic since all of them seem to have been written before Chromium 80 back when modifying these options was still available.

Am I SOL or is there a way to show the subdomain and connection schema in current versions of Iridium?

Edit: Since making this post, this seems to have fixed itself? I'm not sure what happened but I'm not complaining.

Edit 2: It unfixed itself. I've switched back to firefox and just use Iridium when a site doesn't support firefox.

Update schedule for Iridium?

Scrolling through some posts it seems that this browser only gets an update every 6 months or so. For a secure browser, how does this work for the monthly security patches?

With that few updates, can it be takes serious about its security claims?

I'm not an expert, just security/privacy conscious. Maybe I'm missing something?
