And a grandmaster at that! Has such unpresidented talent ever been seen on this world?

Redjard , 1 month ago

This really seemed like a good simplification until you threw in that d'Alembert operator at the end

Redjard , 2 months ago

That can't have been the reason, rather the fact it could tell.
Your browser sends information about its version and the os in the useragent string. It is supposed to lie and say it is a very commonly used useragent, specifically for purposes of fingerprinting. That would be windows, default configuration, firefox version something not you firefox version

Redjard , 2 months ago

That would be a fail of the fingerprinting protection. A properly set up TOR browser for example should not allow that detection by any means. If you know how to detect it, please report it as a critical vulnerability.

I could think of maybe some edge case behavior in webrenderer or js cavas etc., which would mainly expose info on the specific browser and underlying hardware, but that is all of course blocked of or fixed in hardened browsers.

Further, if you have a reliable method, you could sell it off to for example Netflix, who are trying to block higher resolutions for Linux browsers but are currently foiled by changing the useragent (if you have widevine set up).

Redjard , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Default linux works too ofc, I didn't know they took that route.
Most other browsers have very specific useragents, so the main pool of same useragents will be hardened browsers anyway.

Thank you for checking

Try it with high security settings in tor, it might be something like canvas. Did you enable any permissions for the website?

Alttext:

Redjard , 2 months ago

I was joking about everyone sending the alt text in a slightly different style. Hence also "alttext"

All oleds do it at lower brightnesses. They can't dim very far, so they need to flicker to get a usable color-depth

Redjard , 2 months ago

I would not say that necessarily.
I asked the Gentoo people and they had similar setups with 12h. At 4GB ram it'll mainly come down to swapping, so disk speed.
If the 5 days were you experience, was it using a slow hdd?
Edit: remember to disable pgo, wherever you see it. It can double your compile times

Redjard , 2 months ago

For reference my modern system sits well below 20 minutes without pgo, and below 40 with.

Redjard , 2 months ago

The missing number is drive speed, because 4GB ram are not nearly enough, swapping is necessary. But with fast moder drives (were pcie ssds a thing back then?) expect half a day

Redjard , 2 months ago

I built it 6 months ago on a 3700x, took 3h. Where firefox took 20 minutes

Redjard , 2 months ago

ssds are a really cheap upgrade, and have been for a while. My systems of similsr age have had ssd upgrades for about 5 years now. It'll likely be limited to sata speeds though.

On lineageOS 20 it records the exact android build string as the Software for me, so "Android lineage_pdx215-userdebug 13 TQ3A.230901.001 b30079afa2". Which is probably enough to uniquely identify me, and you if you have a less common phone or are on an older or uncommon version.

Needless to say I am pissed.

In boost I have a list of all my uploaded pictures, where I can delete them.

Redjard , 3 months ago

Yes, the deletion would have to be federated, there is no way to guarantee anything at that point. But as I understand OP this is about acting quickly, on an upload that isn't even part of a post yet.

If I doxx myself on any service, someone can take a screenshot, it could be archived. But If I delete it before anyone sees it, there is a good chance it will never get out, if the primary platform properly removes it.

Redjard , 3 months ago

With federation it's kinda like complaining archive.org doesn't have a good way to purge page snapshots in case you post something on your website you regret later. Or search engine caches. Or the local scammers replicating your page with curl for a phishing scam.

There are tvs that wait a month before giving you a big manually dismissed popup about not being connected to the internet.

In contrast to pages like giphy, I'm not enshittified.
In fact you have to commit some serious jank to have a link serve a gif file if included in a page but a website if opened directly. Those "services" have worked hard to maje your experience worse.

What I did is the default. You put the file into the directory of your website and it'll work like that.

22Ah at 4.35V would be 96Wh, which iirc is just under the limit of 100Wh you can take on flights in the us, and thus the limit for basically all laptops.

It outright prevents any legislation mandating backdoors, on a level harder to change than even a constitution.

Simplest path is probably to use the old simple mobile tools recorder app on fdroid, which won't be getting any updates. Fossify will likely release their recorder app very shortly, which will essentially be the next update for the smt recorder app.
It is already under active development, they just haven't gotten the first release yet.

Edit:
Another interesting one is DroidRec. It is usually used and seen as a screen recorder, but it has three simple toggles for screen video, device audio, and microphone. If you turn off screen and device audio, it becomes a very nice voice recorder.

Redjard , 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago)

Which of the two?
DroidRec works for me. I have quality on normal, codec on default, and record stereo. Selecting just mic or device audio and mic records to an m4a file.

E: smt simple voice recorder v5.12.3 works fine on default settings too for me

Redjard , 4 months ago

It's there for ancient compatibility reasons and recreated when steam starts, iirc. I've looked a bit into removing it last year but didn't get far

I've just stumbled over Floorp, which to my understanding has many of Vivaldis features Firefox doesn't, like a sidebar, and is based on Firefox

Redjard , 5 months ago

I feel you. I don't agree but I feel you.
And I have installed hundreds of opensuse systems, many for new linux users.

But that was my choice as the sysadmin (well really one of my predecessors some decades ago). It isn't as amazing for self-administering newbies.

Windows has dead slow file operations natively. Like orders of magnitude slower.

If you think the things brave has done are bad, go read through the list of things microsoft has done. You really don't want them to ever have a browser again, and certainly don't want to personally use it.
