I was taking a look at the same issue earlier in another thread.
Both of the issues are from CBS news.
Was yours trying to download a playlist file as well?
Edit to add link to previous issue:

Same here.
I leave it off so that I end up with less duplicates in my feed. I got tired of seeing the same exact articles / posts clogging up my feed from 20 different instances. The only time I go out of kbins instance is for askelectronics really.
That is very strange, does explain why I'm not seeing this issue though. I have most of the us/generic news magazines blocked.
I'm not a kbin developer or web developer, but this issue has my curiosity piqued.
Do you get it when you go to the CBS news site for the story itself? Maybe it's something to do with the instance itself or a bug in the link?
Do you have some sort of playlist/media downloading add-on enabled on Firefox? Because that is what the extension listed is for.
I'm using Firefox as well and don't get that, the next thing I would look at is a possible malware infection.
Edit: changed extension to add-on. I've got chrome on the brain at the moment.
If you type https://kbin.social/d/insert domain here then (on kbin) scroll down you should see the same buttons that you see for users and magazines including a block button.
Usually I'll just change the m in the url to d then delete upto the domain name.
Can we not do this crap?
I get that this is the kind of thing that was on reddit, but it would be nice not to turn this place into a complete garbage fest just because someone's mommy didn't hug them enough so they seek any sort of attention to validate thier meaningless existence.
I'd point more to a troll.
I use Opensuse on my stuff too. I do bare metal though, because I'm old and this newfangled docker stuff frightens and confuses me.
Personally, I use a "scratch built" machine to act as a file server/media server. Someone was going to recycle it at the office, so I added some hard drives and put it in a larger case.
It really comes down to two things in my mind: what can you afford and how deep do you want to follow the rabbit hole?
If you want something quick and easy, sure go for the premade. Nothing wrong with that.
If you want to use it as a learning tool, and add other services, then I think a home spun server is the way to go.
Just my 2 cents.
Damn this brings back some good memories. Except I was a fluxbox guy on my Slackware install...back when you had to compile damn near everything from scratch.
Good times...good times...
I have a stack of lenovo m93s & M900s from when our hospital was bought out by a larger one. Installed opensuse on a couple to act as web/app servers for dinking around with.
My storage server is an old Ryzen desktop someone was going to recycle with a bunch (24TB) of extra drives added. Opensuse as well.
I usually just do bare metal because that is how I was taught back in the day, and since they're only accessible internally it doesn't make much of a difference security wise.
There's another post about this that has a codeberg issue placed.
