Your Smart TV Knows What You’re Watching (themarkup.org)

These TVs can capture and identify 7,200 images per hour, or approximately two every second. The data is then used for content recommendations and ad targeting, which is a huge business; advertisers spent an estimated $18.6 billion on smart TV ads in 2022, according to market research firm eMarketer.

TheOSINTguy,

You could always use a large monitor but the problem with that would be affordablity.

TheOSINTguy,

And so is a IR flashlight!

TheOSINTguy,

Carpenter bees, they nest in wood.

TheOSINTguy,

If it’s got a nvidia graphics card you could use prime-run

TheOSINTguy,

I’ve had good experience with it, just make sure to use proton experimental if it’s a new release.

TheOSINTguy,

No, but there are better alternatives to adobe that don’t hog your ram harder then triple a games

issues with QbitTorrent stalled torrents

I am just getting back my sea legs, but apparently they’re pretty shaky because I can’t get my ubuntu torrent (no seriously, it is) to download. It never starts downloading and is stuck in “stalled”. I’ve tried a number of things, but even with default settings it isn’t starting. I’m using proton VPN on Linux Mint,...

TheOSINTguy,

I think you are using the free version of proton vpn.

With proton vpn you have to pay to use BitTorrent or other p2p stuff. It’s how they fund the free tier.

It could also be your ISP blocking torrent traffic.

You could try using quad9 dns and enable DNS over HTTPS on your system and do DDL.

There is also ECH (very hard to get working) but is amazing at bypassing content blocks.

Edit: unlikely that you would want to take the time to set it up but DNScrypt is amazing especially when you have annoying captive portals at a coffee shop. Requires some setup before you try to bypass.

TheOSINTguy,

Could be just a bad torrent or bad config in qBitTorrent

TheOSINTguy, (edited )

I sandbox stuff, using firejail or VM’s. coming from a cybersecurity perspective, AV’s are ok but they also aren’t stoping 0-days or malware that has been coded well by a good hacker.

TheOSINTguy,

At that point I would find a used radeon 6400, but even then the card would probably be bottlenecked by the cpu/ram and many other factors.

TheOSINTguy,

And that’s what we call a Trojan horse

Everybody is supporting Firefox, but no one wants to use it. Because it is destroying itself. (discuss.tchncs.de)

Mozilla’s stable browser is not stable enough. especially the Android-based one. They are destroying that amazing browser with every single update. Mozilla converted Firefox from a great-promising browser to a crappy, useless browser. Don’t you think so?

TheOSINTguy,

Source? The voices told me.

TheOSINTguy,

I thought it was copy and pasting from stack overflow

TheOSINTguy,

You can start by looking up your name on major search engines and delete social accounts that are yours, and for the people search websites some of them have opt outs but most are really annoying and don’t comply (in my experience)

Consider using a privacy respecting browser like Firefox with the extension uBlock origin. Keep it to a max of two other extensions because it makes your browser more identifiable.

Consider using open source software over closed source software (just because it’s open source doesn’t mean it’s always safe)

For email I use proton mail and I’ve been very happy with it along with there other stuff.

As some other people have mentioned, self hosting is a good option if you have the time for it, and a spare computer laying around.

TheOSINTguy,

They make nose rings very convenient for 9v

TheOSINTguy,

Mac filtering is slowly dwindling for newer technology that works better.

Recommend option for "full house VPN"? (libranet.de) en-us

I have an old Linksys router which I have read is quite "hackable" for setting up a VPN with custom Linux firmware (tomato, etc.). Everything I have looked up on it, however, seems to be about creating a VPN so that you can access the internet from anywhere in the world, but utilizing your home IP address....

TheOSINTguy,

If your looking for a newer router you could try a net gate router with pfsense. I believe it supports VPN/proxies.

Edit: your only problem would be it has no wireless capability’s, but you could do some nice network segmentation with that.

TheOSINTguy,

We’ll see it on war thunder forums soon enough.

TheOSINTguy,

They use MAC address filtering I believe.

TheOSINTguy,

Protonmail might be the easiest to transfer everything to. You can transfer contacts and emails I believe.

Perplexity IA recommending me using modded versions instead of paying for premium features (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Browsing the internet I found this app called VMOS which is basically an Android emulator inside Android and it’s great for testing or playing pirated games, the problem is that the app is almost completely in Chinese and I was curious to investigate how much the “Premium” version that unlocks root access and other things...

TheOSINTguy,

I wouldn’t trust it, but if you have a pc that runs Linux you could create a kvm/qemu virtual machine emulating an arm processor (not sure if you still can) and install it in a contained environment and test drive it there.

TheOSINTguy,

I’m actually surprised that a community like that hasn’t popped up yet.

TheOSINTguy,

That’s a pinch, not a slap.

TheOSINTguy,

And then you have the auto tldr bot.

TheOSINTguy,

But it’s only at usb 2.0 speeds

TheOSINTguy,

Actually this morning

TheOSINTguy,

Just because I use my phones usb port often doesn’t mean others who don’t should get obsolete technology.

Not to also mention most people probably don’t want to pay for cloud storage and transferring images to a computer with more storage makes the most sense for those people.

what are those people gonna do when their $900 phone that they overplayed for takes 3 hours to transfer 50gb worth of photos?

TheOSINTguy,

Let me introduce you to the case we’re apple handed over private information to hackers pretending to be feds.

TheOSINTguy,

They are rage, brutal, and extremely fucking annoying, but you will be worse. Rip and tear until it is done.

TheOSINTguy,

Google and privacy is the same as putting lithium in water

TheOSINTguy,

Maybe click on the button with the thin border? You can also load websites in google translate, sadly it’s the only service I’m aware of the can do that.

TheOSINTguy,

I honestly don’t get why people think chromium browsers are good, for example Firefox in my use case is far faster than chrome… by a long shot. Also if you want to argue…

treeherder.mozilla.org/perfherder/graphs?highligh…

TheOSINTguy,

A fresh start

TheOSINTguy,

The grand master

TheOSINTguy,

Don’t forget laptops you can repair

TheOSINTguy,

It already is in the uBlock origin annoyances filters I think

TheOSINTguy,

Web development in assembly and copy and pasting from stack overflow.

TheOSINTguy,

When I was younger I was amazed by how easy it was to track people on the early internet. this is when putting a script tag in a comment section to show images in comments was popular but quickly became exploited and faded away. I also became worried about this in my web development class learning how to use JS and saw how easy it was for a bad actor to execute malicious JS on people’s browsers.

TheOSINTguy,

Some ice should do the job

TheOSINTguy,

Mozzila re-writing parts of the browser in the rust programming language has made a decent improvement to the performance. For those who aren’t to into programming rust is has a strict compiler, meaning better code quality (Less Bugs) and offers more optimization methods then other programming languages.
