Nobody is affraid to come out anymore, this in isn’t 1950, spare us your drama.

random65837,

It’s petrifying how many don’t see that!

random65837,

The results you got make perfect sense, if you knew exactly what you wanted, why were you using a search engine to begin with? If you wanted the docker redis image, why didn’t you just go to it directly instead of searching for it? Do you put your home address into a GPS and follow it turn by turn, or do you just go home?

random65837,

Then you need to be more specific with your search, while I don’t use Google because I don’t like being data mined, I just tried “download docker redis image” and that page with everything was the first result.

When I tried exactly what you put in, on DDG, that image was the first thing that showed.

If you’ve vague, it’s going to rank shit based on a ton of things that make it believe one is more popular than another. That’s the literal job of a search engine.

(Typically) when people want a docker image, they go to docker hub, not to search engines. If you’d gone to docker hub one word on the search box (redis) would have given you the image.

Or since we’re talking docker, and you knew what you wanted to install a simple “docker pull redis” would have taken care of it.

random65837,

It’s optimized for what algorithms tell it will be the best response, no different than any other one. If you want keyword search only, don’t use Google. If you don’t want to be datamined, don’t use Google. If you want a docker image, search for it on Docker hub, not a search engine.

random65837,

Because that data tells them a lot less and requires a paper trail, which they don’t like.

New Yorkers march on Wall St. to demand an end to US funding of Israel : Peoples Dispatch (peoplesdispatch.org)

People in New York City once again took to the streets to demand a permanent ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza and an end US aid to Israel. Protesters marched from Foley Square to NYC City Hall, Wall Street, and Washington Square Park to raise their demands. The protest took place as the United Nations Security Council was...

random65837,

Ya, stand with terrorists…sure.

random65837,

Nice strawman…because there’s a single person alive that accused the children and babies right? How pathetically ignorant. But you then ignore when those people you’re defending strap bombs to those children don’t you?

random65837,

iOS has terrible choices when it comes to privacy and/or Open source. Apps that put control into the users hands are in direct conflict with Apple, and many times from what I know certain software licenses have issues getting approved there. See if Raivo is still around (may be spelled wrong).

Check out Techlore as well for recommendations across the board, before he went to a Pixel he ran an iPhone for a while and had a decent list of stuff for them IIRC.

random65837,

I’ve been with Proton since beta, but holy shit is it annoying when they constantly drag ass, take feedback from what people want, then just do whatever (they) want. Especially given that most of us early adopters are the ones that are also the paying ones.

random65837,

It literally makes less than zero sense to go from Graphene to e, Graphene is the most hardened privacy tweaked OS available, e would be a huge step backwards on many fronts, what’s your reason for wanting to switch? No, you can’t lock your bootloader with e, verified boot won’t be there, you’ll lose the hardened kernel , the improved sandboxing, the memory protection. It’s a fail from every angle.

random65837,

Prize for being overly dramatic!

random65837,

It literally says that multiple times. Their UI and “other code” is closed, therefore the browser is NOT open source. Giving the base they started with doesn’t equal a browser, and doesn’t equal you being able to compile the finished product. It’s no more open source than Chrome.

random65837,

They do in MA, because we have the right to vehicle telematics data under our right to repair law, which is constantly being fought including by the feds.

random65837,

Ya, says the “Anarchist author”. Just another antisemitic loser.

random65837,

People who don’t live in CA, NY, NJ, CT or DC.

random65837,

Don’t complicate something simple, back up (your) user level stuff, and switch. That easy.

Not sure what landed you on Debian, but at least run Testing/Unstable. (“Unstable” on Debian isn’t unstable). Absent that, you’ll be real behind on basically everything.

I ran Debian on servers for years, and even in the case of servers its just too damn behind the times. If you start force upgrading things so that’s not an issue, then you’re basically running Ubuntu. I think I read in replies you’re going with KDE? May seriously want to consider Kubuntu. While I dumped Ubuntu for desktops years ago (still run Ubuntu Server) and went to Arch based desktop distros, for a newer Linux User, Ubuntu based distros are going to have the least amount of headache attached.

random65837,

Exactly!

random65837,

What’s funny about that, is although I try to never shop at crap Kroger, sometimes its just easier, I noticed once when I wanted to check something for being in stock, I couldn’t view their website with my VPN up, didn’t matter the server. I said, they’re dataming something! Why would a read only website like that even care… I now know why.

random65837,

Anybody that still runs Plex deserves that shit. Its been a piece of shit for years and only gets worse.

random65837,

What “stuff” are you referring to? Has the webapp, Android, iOS, Firesticks, Roku. What are you trying to run it on? Even my SmartTV has it in thier native store.

random65837,

I’ve found its very common for Europeans to be under the dillusion that the govt is their friend, and has their best intentions in mind…

random65837,

You guys are walking the line of being prisoners. I was in NSW a couple years ago, beautiful country. Too bad its run by nutobs. After seeing the shit during COVID when the thought police were showing up at peoples houses for Facebook posts, I felt for you guys bad!

Govt’s are always corrupt, but when it makes it down to the police at that 1984 level, that’s when its time to pack the bags! Might as well be in China at that point.

random65837,

Kinda sucks, because those are the platformed I used mostly to keep informed about local events and businesses.

Now you can check actual news instead of internet hive mind biased bullshit.

random65837,

Well when the governments around the world give them that power when they want them to push their agenda’s all the time, can’t really blame them for acting like the de-facto government they’ve become, thanks to actual govt’s. Govt’s always operate above their own laws, that’s nothing new.

Help me choose my mobile browser

As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such...

random65837,

Don’t ask, test and answer for yourself. Do fingerprint and security checks and see what comes out best.

I use Brave and uBlock. It does better when tested than all the others, including Vanadium, which SHOULD be besting them all. Firefox has come in second but still can’t stop it from bring fingerprinted regardless of what I do to it, that includes its spinoffs. Brave passes them all with its default config.

coveryourtracks.eff.org

There’s more in depth checks, but that easily covers the bases. If you’re being positively fingerprinted, the rest is a moot point.

random65837,

What kind of phone do you have? Do you use social media? Do you use the same email address everywhere? They don’t know anything you didn’t willingly give out. It’s not a random website, it’s a website that bought you via your browsing practices.

random65837,

The ol’ True Caller scam! Don’t forget all the people that add email addys to the phones contact list…and then give every app that asks for permissions full roam.

But I’m “paranoid” because 90% of people only get my VoIP number and non important email.

One an occupation or two when I know somebody really sucks I’ll give them a forwarder LOL.

is there a way tominimise risk while using facebook?

I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at...

random65837,

I do the same, obviously all bullshit info, email forwarders for the acct, VPN, and it’s cookies containerized so it can’t go snooping, and make sure your browser isn’t successfully being fingerprinted or it’s all pointless.

coveryourtracks.eff.org

Never fuck up and don’t hop on without a VPN, or from it’s proper container. As said, just minimizing, not removing.

random65837,

CA isn’t the only state with GDPR like privacy laws.

California, Virginia, Connecticut, Colorado, Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Oregon, Montana, and Texas.

random65837,

If you’re in one of those, yes. There’s tons of websites that list what they are and compare them against others, but basically all of them (that I’ve seen) have all the basics like not sharing your info without consent, right to data deletion, how they can share your data when they do etc.

random65837,

Nix is awesome for experienced Linux users, AND that want to constantly play with their config file. If you do things and install things at the user level (which way too many do) then you’ve removed the benefit. That said, do it right, and recovering, moving, or duplicating your system could possibly be any faster/smoother.

Not saying it’s hard to learn, but if you’re not used to the CLI and editing config files, I’d start with it in a VM. If you decide you like it after you’ve totally set it up there, then the magic of Nix comes when you install it for real and just redeploy an exact clone thanks to the config file.

Is this VPN comparison breakdown trustworthy?

I’m shopping for a VPN providers, and really struggling to find a detailed and non-biased breakdown of the various options. A number of years ago, I recall finding an extremely detailed VPN comparison spreadsheet that had 30+ columns, which were contained criteria by which the VPNs were judged both quantitatively and...

random65837,

And in doing so you have a never ending list of logs that you can’t control. Fine if you only want to hide location, but useless other than that. 1 LE request and every log will be in there hands in 5mins.

random65837,

That 100% correct, literally no different than just using your ISP at that point, zero control over the hardware and no ability to control the IP.

random65837,

You’re taking something simple and making it complicated. Go with known trusted VPNs that have a history of proving themselves. Mullvad, iVPN, Proton (most of their history is with the email, but that means something) they’re all priced pretty close, no need for insane scrutiny.

Unless you’re buying kilos of fentanyl and automatic weapons off the dark web, don’t overthink it. Absent that, if your goal is simply hiding your IP and appearing in a different city somewhere, just grab a trusted one.

random65837,

Gotcha, your own server makes it better clearly, but you originally said it was on a VPS.

To be clear though just because I’m anal, you mean YOUR server? Not a VPS you pay somebody else to use? As in you can physically touch it if you want?

random65837,

It’s a transfer of trust either way, point being you don’t have physical control over it, and therefore have no idea what’s actually happening on the other end, you’re not hosting it, they are, you’re just administering it.Russia is NO fan of privacy, arguably worse than the US, and now talking about banning all VPN use.

My server is in my house physically. I’d never host my own VPN because I could never compete with what commercial ones in privacy respecting countries can do, let alone needing more outsourced servers for changing my location all over the place, which I do regularly.

random65837,

Honoring a warrant doesn’t mean much, when there’s nothing to turn over than a connection IP and some timestamps, vs all the traffic that could be there otherwise. That’s been proven multiple times with zero knowledge VPN providers.

They can’t make them starting doing things there system isn’t made to do just because they want them to, not how warrants work. Again, been proven many times over at this point. Knowing that you connected at a time, exited from a shared IP, with a bunch of nonsense in the middle keeps you pretty safe. That ignoring that’s even harder when that zero knowledge provider is ina country like Switzerland where it takes VERY direct reasons to have a judge approve a warrant in the first place, dragnets aren’t allowed there, and even then, nothing useful comes back.

A country like Russia wouldn’t kick back info, but their spying is at China level, so you’ve already lost there.

Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....

random65837,

The time to ditch DDG came when they started gatekeeping during the first Russia thing, COVID, etc.

random65837,

And when those addresses wind up on mailing/spam lists and they’re coming from multiple places, you’re screwed. That’s why email forwarders became a thing, catch-alls aren’t new, but you lack the control most want with them.

Plus, Proton does support plus/+ addressing, which does the same thing as a catch-all. You know the email addy it came from.

random65837,

Those addresses are there until you delete them. What does them having your CC have to do with it? Better yet, why do they have a CC? Meaning a real one? Not a masked one? Fuck that!

random65837,

Its (incredibly) rare for me to use a card online if it’s not privacy. I also used them constantly in real life thanks to places that have apps that let you add CC’s. My gym, Supermarket, Gas at Kroger, Car wash, etc.

random65837,

No, I joined before it all changed and the only difference was how many card a month you can make. Currently, I believe they push the real transaction info to your bank so they’ll show normally on your bank statements, where mine just say privacy.com, as well as the browser addon and web app, which are are all now a paid feature.

That said though, the $10/mo is worth it for what you get in the end. My whole purchasing life would change without it.

random65837,

Only on the free plan, but verify that. Even if you did do it on the free plan it’s still very much worth it. You still have the protection of different cards for different people, the fact they lock to who you use them with, the ability to set spending limits, burner cards that only work once, the ability to pause or delete cards at will etc. All of that is a huge win either way, even if the transaction info goes to the bank. But even then that’s an option.

random65837,

How would expect them to do it? I can’t see how they wouldn’t link to you card if you expect to spend money. Moneys got to come from somewhere. Auth tokens are the safest way of doing that, prior to them upgrading to that it was done through ACH, which is not only slow, it’s much more dangerous for the user since they have actual checking acct info. Auth tokens don’t work that way, and even if there was a breach, your checking acct info isn’t there, only a token they can’t use. The way they’re doing it is the smartest way for both speed, and your acct safety.

random65837,

Gotcha, so you mean actual (credit) as a funding source vs debit? Can you link that? I didn’t see that in the comparison, I’d possibly consider that.

I can do that now with Capital One, but having that all together would be nice. Kinda surprising, I’d think those habitual wrongful charge back types would wreck that for everybody.

random65837,

The people that just learned about him get screwed with the old episodes not being available, but for those of us listening for a while now, he didn’t have a lot more to cover anymore, the last year has basically been retouching on old stuff.

He made starting up a privacy podcast useless, now, somebody may step up. Although he’d be hard to beat.

random65837,

Exactly, it’s childish cancel culture for completed unrelated nonsense. It’s one thing to be anti Chrome, but being anti Chromium is stupid, let alone that brave did a good job about it.

I’d like to see what peoples personal opinions are on every single Firefox dev, as well as the complete Mozilla corporate hierarchy… Oh ya, they don’t know, so it’s cool. Then of course the completely history and belief system of the devs of every browser addon they use as well. That type of stupidity has no end.
