We should at least hear what Ja Rule has to say

Both my browser and network level dns blocker blocked the test attacker site from loading but in general there are 2 approaches to this: minimize your fingerprint data points or change them to blend in with the crowd.

I think for the most part selectivly blocking js and cookies will do a lot for you. You can also block the canvas and limit fonts too. I'd also recommend a vpn as they can associate it with your ip too.

Do you know if these folks actively develop it or do they just apply patches to the Firefox codebase ?

Like do they just pre configure a bunch of about config settings and the pre installed search or do they harden the binaries at compile time ?

I've not kept up with this but I'm curious if there is any real advantage of this over Firefox after it has been configured. If not I would stick with Firefox as it will get security updates quicker by people who know the source code intimately.

Anyway not shitting on anyone's choices here just curious.

Random hackers, companies, dragnet surveillance.

The companies are probably the biggest exposure as we are forced to interact with them for utilities, flights etc . They get hacked all of the time and dont bother to secure their data.

Also as a side note I hate how lots of places just assume you want to download their shitty spyware ridden apps or hand over your phone number or an email.

The race to the bottom continues imagine all the useful things we could be doing instead of this fucking shit just to take more from the pockets of people. Fuck this shit

Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

Due to the recent announcement of Proton moving to a non-profit structure (although not becoming fully non-profit) I've decided to take another look at them and really, Proton Unlimited is an enticing offer. However, the fact of everything from mail, to accounts, to storage being in one place is somewhat disconcerting. Also I...

@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Personally I would split them so they are not all in the same place. So for email use something like proton or tuta, vpn could be mullvad and a local password manager such as keepass xc synced with syncthing.

Connect it to your PC or laptop and do a netinstall. Configure SSHD and a static ip. Plugin the disk to your server and then connect via ssh to admin it.

You could also set your laptop or PC to boot from the attached disk in the bios to test the services you want to start are starting

JoeKrogan ,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Syncthing can do direct sync if you give the ip address to each node and you can disable relay servers .

Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important (www.techdirt.com)

The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that...

Ask for thr PW one day and dont connect and then connect from a nearby location another day.

Still torrents going around

JoeKrogan ,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Based on your username and the fact you mentioned pushing commits to a project of such complexity I would assume you are not serious but in case you are, the point of the torrent is to keep the data available. You would have to download it and initialize a new repo with it and if you want you can host it wherever you like.

Is there a list of countries that have these types of scanners ?

If they ban one they should ban them all. Cambridge analytica used Facebook on behalf of LeaveEU and Trump.

I'm not sure but it is a good question and a good project if none already exists.

Looking at work history from employees of these companies on linkedin we might discover more.

I export my totp from freeotp+. I have it added to keepassxc and sync that with syncthing to multiple devices.

If I lose the phone I can just import the exports to a fresh app on another phone.

Another option is use waydroid and backup the VM

Google fires 28 employees after protest over Israel cloud contract (www.theverge.com)

Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday....

I wonder If they were protesting some other interests such as against iran would they have been fired.... Of course not. Countries and companies are bending over backwards for Israel.

I hope the workers challange this in court.

Could you just poll the miniflux db directly ?

JoeKrogan ,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

You could just poll it every few minutes via a cronjob and only send a notification if the numbers have increased.

Personally I use miniflux too in docker but I dont have a need for notifications.

@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah this is a much better approach

On laptops yes, on my server no. Most of the data is photo backups and linux ISOs form over the years.

supermarket club cards

Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use...

JoeKrogan ,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Fake details and don't use the app should do the job.

JoeKrogan ,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

You could set up a tor relay and use it too. They they will just see connections to tor.

Or vpn and seed torrents

JoeKrogan ,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Do you happen to know if there are packages or downloads for it. I was looking to archive it

JoeKrogan ,
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

I doubt anyone here uses it but its another one to blacklist all the same

Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024 (www.gizchina.com)

While flagship smartphones boast impressive features, spending $1,000 is not a prerequisite for a satisfying Android experience nowadays. If you’re in need of a new smartphone and have a budget of approximately $200, there are numerous excellent options available. Surprisingly, some of the best Android phones under $200 come...

They are all shit they all come with bloat/adware harvesting your data. So may as well get a cheap one if you need to have one. You're getting taken for a ride either way. If you can buy one with a vanilla or hardened and privacy oriented one then thats another story.

When it was a dark time for the empire the shogun cut off the heads of 141 lords... Maybe we should start there.

Besides the few glitched ones I wouldn't be able to tell they were generated. I didn't expect it this quick.

At least we can remake the last three star wars movies with a decent story line.

There has been books out for years that Disney just didn't bother with. They can't be worse than what we got.

Freeotp+ allows you to export your Codes só you can back them up or import them again

At least if its possible to use a foss client you can interact with WhatsApp users without needing their shitty spyware app.
