Mostly agree. Audiobooks are not my thing, but of it were - I’d look for a way to resume where I left off, maybe some recommendation on what to listen to next.

In general - once you’re into hosting stuff and past the initial barrier of setting everything up - adding another service is dead simple.

Can I be unreasonable? I’m gonna be unreasonable.

Gentoo.

It is quick and easy. Maintaining any other OS side by side is always a bigger ordeal than not doing it. It breaks the other way around as well - If you were running some linux distro and then tried dual booting by installing windows - no way you’d be able to boot into linux without extra tweaking.

.dev domains are required to only be reachable via https. You’ve not mentioned that in the post, so I’m guessing port 443 is not serving or even listening.

I’d delete the screenshot with your IP visible. You never know…

I was looking into it, but the more I learn about it the more I’m leaning towards something else - misskey, akkoma, etc. Same function, but, supposedly, fewer headaches hosting.

I host a lemmy instance.

I did jump onto Gentoo ship chasing performance, but stayed because of USE flags.

Not exactly. When building for play store release - google injects their tracking into the binary.

While this is not a bad shout, I hate that this rearranging logic has made it to production in the first place. Ddg should really know better.

That’s what I do on the desktop, but on mobile there’s no quick way to open a new tab.

I get the same issue all the time lately. Search, click link, go back - clicked link gone, different results shown.

This doesn’t affect websites as such - it’s the end clients, i.e. browsers that would be forced to accept gov issued CAs. I don’t see anyone going after TOR as it’s already a very niche thing, so it should be fine.

Oh, it doesn’t - the restriction is not in place to begin with. But it will definitely happen if this is to go through.

No idea about what happened behind the closed doors, if anything; but I feel like compiling your browser with a patchset that removes the restriction on CA removal is going to become a thing. Good thing I’m on Gentoo already.

In short.

• You’re fairly private, I don’t see maths just getting broken - i.e. the stuff you do is not visible to the outside.
• You’re very easy for big tech to track. They don’t know what you’re doing directly, but inference engines are very powerful nowadays.
• Most websites do not, indeed, do first party tracking.

What you’re saying here is very different from what you’re saying in the OP.

How private am I?

how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me?

most websites don’t do a lot of “first party” tracking.

These are all very different questions. I guess my bad for only answering the second one.

@Aspaldiko@feddit.de This is what I would’ve said. Hiding in plain sight is the solution. It gets tricky when you want to send a message and not leave a trail at all, but in essence - privacy != anonymity.

This is a very simple question to answer:

• https://www.amiunique.org/fingerprint
• https://fingerprint.com/demo/ - visit this one in a regular tab, private tab, container tab, etc to see if the fingerprint persists.

If you have a way to run wireguard - it’s a lifesaver. My LAN is wherever I am :)

I personally only run pihole and ublock origin. Pihole takes care of the most stuff, ublock picks up the leftovers where domain blocking is not good enough. I’d like to believe this saves some juice on battery powered devices, but I’ve never actually measured it nor noticed it.
