Also, work off of the copy. Never touch the source.

A then C. If you know how to do it[^1] ofc. If you don't, then assume it is. Very different situation if the weapon is loaded. Both require C, but one much more intensely than the other.

[^1]: Hopefully /s is obvious enough here, but I'm not taking chances: /s, OK?

Usually that's about when I strace the process before running it through gdb...

Yes, I get that point, but I also think that it's tempting for the privacy-minded novice to think "the less information I provide, the better!", while in actuality, it is better to provide "more" information: the most common UA, even if it means lying about your featureset. In this case, truly, more is less.

Glad someone noticed 😋

Oh gee, I wasn't aware there was more to it than the UA. Thanks for opening my eyes.

Edit: I checked your link, most of the parameters on the test require client side execution. That (client side tracking) is absolutely unrelated to what (server side tracking) I was talking about, and is something you can control (by not allowing JavaScript, for example). Please do not confuse the two. There is literally nothing you can do against server side tracking.

Now do all at once and you're good to go.

Yeah, make your user agent absolutely unique. Too much entropy will surely confuse the shit out server side HTTP Header tracking. 😬

But hopefully I can delay and minimise it a bit, open a better channel of communication with a few friends and relatives and perhaps raise some awareness in the process.

Absolutely.

okay, but what if you (somehow) had information about how much fruit you're consuming literally all the time. not just every second, but every possible moment. just non-stop fruit information.

For a moment I wondered how you were going to switch from discrete to continuous using fruit eating... 🙂

This isn't about you. Your data is key in making other, relevant people stand out. Why relevant? Because they resist. Because they aren't depressed, they are fighting back. And whatever the reason that drives them, they can be manipulated. By compromising their anonymity. By making literally everyone else a "known variable". With your help.

I too, like OP, thought I found the grail when I got my kids. People suddenly accepted using my communication preferences. Only to find years later that they didn't. They didn't care, understand, or respected my wishes. Don't fool yourself: some people do care, but that is 10% tops.
