He chose the option that was the fastest for development purposes/testing. On average Google/Cloudflare worldwide has the fastest and most reliable DNS services. Why would he change it? He says it clearly that it's the respon

I can imagine it getting a little frustrating to have to constantly reiterate the same point over and over again. Especially when people are refusing to understand the reasoning and logic explained from last time. It's already been exp

Why is this repeatedly raised? This is only done like this for development purposes. It has been discussed for years at this point. Distros/users are encouraged to change these defaults and many do. Seems pretty clear cut and simple to

I main Firefox on all my platforms. I would prefer to use it wherever possible over any chromium browser. Sometimes I get forced to use a chromium based browser for specific sites. In those cases I use edge for Windows because it's bui

If you are concerned about privacy of chromium-based browsers, I don't think anything would beat just straight chromium. However, on my machines I just main firefox with edge as a backup. Mainly because edge is already pre-installed on

Why is it one or the other? Type errors also certainly occur. If you eliminate a class of errors by doing so, isn't that still less errors overall?

I don't think he is defending it, I think he is correctly rationalising that this is the effect of devs and users buying into Apple's walled Garden. This is what devs and users caused by supporting the Google Apple duopoly. You bo

Not just track you, some ISPs will simply redirect all UDP port 53 DNS packets to their own DNS anyway.

by kd913 6y ago
Just FYI just setting your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 may not do that much. Not only is DNS in plaintext, but some ISPs simply redirect all port 53 DNS requests to their own DNS. If you want privacy with your DNS, you should setup DoH using

by kd913 6y ago
People can host their own DoH server themselves. If I can setup DoH and a VPN over one weekend with a Raspberry Pi, then others can do it too. I am using DNSCryptProxy on a Pi and it fully supports DoH + eSNI even without cloudflare. Works

I am sure if I am whipped or faced with a shock collar I could also be measurably 'productive'. It's pretty evident the reasons why feelings trump productivity then. I value my feelings in a pleasant work environment a hell o

Funny you said that, today I noticed DDG seems to have changed some location thing. At the top bar, it seems to state specifically the UK being the location. Searching for things like amazon seems to also return amazon.co.uk rather than ama

On firefox you can do that anyway by setting dom.security.https_only_mode to true in about:config. No need for an additional addon unless you need to handle specific exceptions.

by kd913 6y ago
On firefox I just set dom.security.https_only_mode to true. There isn't really a need for an additional extension for me. The only cases where it becomes somewhat problematic for me is my router page and local jupyter notebooks. Both c

Sorry but why exactly should NIST be trusted? https://projectbullrun.org/dual-ec/vulnerability.html It seems from many sources that NIST were pushing a backdoored RNG source for a while. The main source for the ssh-key

I have blocked port 53 forward and redirect. On my ISP's router (which I am forced to use), you can't block port 53 on the gateway itself. I don't want to add an extra router because that would add unnecessary latency. The ab

Please do note that Android appears to be quite weird in regards to accepting network set DNS. My observations so far have been that Android tends to ignore any DNS set by either the network via DHCP or statically set. Android instead probe

I think the main mechanism of this is communication directly with developers on forum.snapcraft. In this case Mozilla with Canonical etc... I didn't go through this process so I don't really know. I think that is how it has worke

The amount of cases for malicious snaps was about 1 with the cryptominer that was addressed within 3 days. Those snaps that are published go through static analysis and unless manually vetted will not have access to the rest of your system.

That script won't even run unless it's on a browser which doesn't support webp. I don't have to support ios/safari.

by kd913 7y ago
There is webpjs I think. http://webpjs.appspot.com/ Basically if a browser does support webp, the script does nothing, but otherwise I think this script ends up supporting the image via javascript.
