JoeKrogan , 4 days ago to Privacy in Privacy@Lemmy.ml: What are the best ways to minimize fingerprinting on Firefox?

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.

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.

JoeKrogan , 10 days ago (edited 10 days ago) to Privacy in What would you consider your threat model?

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.

JoeKrogan , 13 days ago to Privacy in Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

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

Happy to help 😉

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

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.
