Also VPN makes you rather anonymous. The sites won't track you and sometimes the trackers on public torrent files are notorious for tracking.

Some websites now are really shit. Won't load unless you allow JavaScript from 15 different domains, cookie consent, terrible privacy etc.

If I want to know things like what 10 kmpl in mpg, I often use DDG snippets.

Try installing Debian or Opensuse MicroOS without a Desktop Environment, that way you can save some memory and disk space. You can run cockpit if you want to control it through another machine. Useful if the keyboard or display isn't working.

You can use it for learning about self-hosting like setting up podman/docker or installing firewall etc. You can even run a simple pihole DNS server.

Hi new here

[–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

But, I am running rethink DNS, and I don't see any network activity from Gemini.

[–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Would it access these things if I disable the Gemini app?

Was browsing on the GrapheneOS website and came across a new thing called WebUSB, which is essentially a JS API through which GrapheneOS web installer worked.

This got me wondering, if website could read what's plugged into my computer like my phone or disks, isn't that a huge risk to privacy? I don't know how this works (haven't used it) so I would like to know about its privacy.

AFAIK Firefox doesn't allow this API, so that's a relief (I use librefox), but what about other browsers? I am getting a bit paranoid.

[Also, are there other APIs like these; which are a privacy nightmare that websites could use?]

I began using invidious after every piped instances refused to play videos lately. But what I read from their docs is that my IP might get exposed to google servers while loading videos from invidious. I use rethink DNS app and in that I can see all the domains that are getting called by my browser.

I tested about five instances and none are calling googlevideo domain as mentioned in the doc. Are they proxying my requests by default or am I missing something?

No, I don't have the option proxy video turned on. I use yewtu.be as my main invidious instance.

 

Couple of months prior, I read an article on Mozilla, where they did a research on automakers and found none comply to good privacy measures. I am planning to buy a used car. I want to know how the data is collected and transmitted.

The car comes with a connected app though I am not planning to use it. It also has apple car play and android auto. Should I use those? The article states some manufacturers even records sexual activities. How are they transmitting these informations? Through connected phones?

My use is fairly basic, I want to use the Bluetooth audio system in the car for listening to music on my phone. I use maps on my phone.

What about car servicing? Can they access stored information?

 

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?

Do you trust apple with their claims?

 

(timestamp-link) iPad Pro M4 Hands on - Why I just bought it.
Review from a top YT reviewer, Mrwhosetheboss. How do you guys feel about it?

 

Applications like EndeavorOS Welcome, Tor browser won't show their actual icons on the taskbar after Gnome 46 update. I have observed that applications launched by invoking the binary through terminal using ./ behaves this way. (Not sure about the EOS Welcome) Is there any fix to this?

OS: EndeavourOS Linux x86_64. DE: GNOME 46.1. Icons: Papirus [GTK2/3].

[Edit: This is not a freshly installed system. Icons were working fine till Gnome 45.]

 

Looking at the Mozilla logo, we could see a URI hiding (or not) in there. Like mysql://.

1000024068

They should make it into a protocol like mysql here and incorporate 'a' in there then do something with it.

 

Basically the question. I use work profile (created with shelter). The stock android launcher supports this personal/work separation. But I want to know whether nothing phone launcher support this feature. I know you can install a third party launcher like lawnchair for this. But with these 3rd party launchers the gesture support is really bad.

 

Does cloud providers share the IP addresses and the alloted users to these big corps and defect the whole purpose of a privacy frontend? Are there any service (FOSS) that could randomise my servers IP?

Might be a noob question but I want to start self hosting.
