Actually the implementation of tracking methods and data collection is much more easier than implementing methods to prevent them.

Can you please point out which service you specifically talking about?

Use Librewolf + uBlock Origin (already pre-installed) + NextDNS via in-built DOH settings.

A well-trusted VPN service like Mullvad, Proton (which has unlimited free bandwidth with free servers), IVPN or Windscribe is also recommended.

Additionally, add these recommended filter lists to uBlock Origin.

I recommended Hardened Firefox.

What do you mean by “Firefox lets you get tracked on the server side”? Use that Doh function with any DNS I recommend, like NextDNS, ControlD, or AdGuard, to prevent tracking via the server side. Also, you can use a VPN to hide your IP.

You use container tabs and private tabs, so how are Facebook and Google going to collect your data? A Firefox container means the entire Google login is limited inside that container only; it has no access to outside what happens. At the same time, you have to use a UBlock Origin or any other content blocker to block other types of tracking scripts outside that container.

About fingerprinting. You can tweak the config to make your Firefox more resistant to browser fingerprinting or consider using user scripts like Arkenfox, Better Fox, or Phoenix. There are also preconfigured browsers like LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser available if you are okay with constant breaking of functionality on websites. If none of this is enough, there is tor browser.

Thanks.

I heard about Writefreely, but Plum is new for me. Also, I checked out that website and saw this.

Project status

Currently, Plume developers have less time, and Plume is not actively maintained. New features may take time to be implemented. Could you consider similar-purpose software? WriteFreely, WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin, and so on? >

Anyway, I will check it out and try to write on those platforms if possible.

Arch is mainly for people who prefer instant updates on every software. Like developers, some hardcore gamers want to tweak their system too deep and have too much time to fix if it breaks.

Snapshots are a big relief, as they allow you to directly boot into the previous working version. But if the bootloader itself failed, you might need a live USB to fix it.

Arch is not bad or unfriendly at all. It allows users to deeply customize their system how they want it, and that’s what causes an unstable system at the end. Also, the use of too many AUR softwares at the system level is another reason. It is not official. So by using AUR heavily, we can’t guarantee it will work with other system software.

If you use Arch with snapshots and only install a minimal amount of AUR system-level software, then it’s completely fine for daily use.

Other serious struggles.

• Very new releases bring a lot of bugs. Recently I saw my screen was flashing when I opened settings. Also, crashes can occur constantly. You have to report it to get an immediate fix from developers.

• Snapshots can take a fair amount of your storage. But you can control it in Snap.

• AUR packages are not tested for their authenticity or security at all.

• A breakage or failure to boot can terrify newbies. Unlike Fedora or Debian, there are no built-in recovery tools out of the box. Everything is the user’s responsibility.

Architecture is all about user freedom. All those crashes and failures are not too hard to fix, but you have to spend much time on them. If you have pre-cations like a live USB and snapshots, then there is nothing to worry about at all.

Unlike Windows, Linux demands users know it more and read long wiki pages, which is good in a sense.

Many people in the Linux community want their system built from scratch. So Arch stands in between, distributions like VoidLinux and Gentoo.

That’s why I completely eliminated Windows from my life and switched to Linux.

The upvotes mean some other people too don’t like Fedora like me. Nothing more than that.

A distro can be perfect for some and, at the same time, hated by some others. That’s normal.

Why it’s not for me. Reasons:

Maintained by a corporation. Probably it’s their testing ground.

Too much bloatware is preinstalled.

Too many updates, just like Arch. But arch feels more cleaner and faster anyway.

Require rpm fusion.

Crashes often.

There is always a connectivity issue on RPM Fusion servers.

Heavily depended upon flatpak.

Many applications don’t have native Fedora packages or repos.

When I type “yes” for view pkgbuild, it always shows failed to retrieve message. Then without asking for a retry, it asks to continue with installation!

Hm… btw, I hate fedora.

I don’t mean it happened right now. I mean it often happens. Probably when i tweak too much or more installs from AUR.

archdebian? arch+debian dual boot?

As you said, I updated the webpage with a more minimal, user-friendly and light-weight theme.

Selecting a theme from Hugo is really stressful and time-consuming because many themes are out of date. These themes show errors because Hugo alters its requirements so fast.

There is only a minimal number of up to date working themes. Some them are too much bloated and heavy for my purpose.

(site updated with new theme)

Which web apps only run in Chrome but not in other Chromium-based browsers?

Look at the footer; I made the website with Hugo and used a theme called ‘mana’ from their theme store. It’s possible the theme is vibe-coded.

Actually, it’s the opposite. In many countries other than America, WhatsApp is the default messenger for everything, including government services. And all these privacy flaws also affect them too.

Me too. via NextDNS.
