IIRC, Privacy Badger is less focused on static (or even updated) lists of bad sites, but figures things out based on behavior. Basically it's learning on the go. https://www.eff.org/privacybadger/faq#How-is-Privacy

I do, at least for some personal projects. They're more than capable enough for many tasks, and cheap enough to be willing to just grab another if you have a quick task.

It's not for Safari, but Firefox has container tabs, where this data is isolated per-container. With the Temporary Containers extension, basically everyone gets their own container by default, and all that gets deleted 15 minutes after

I worked in a place where dev workstations were far beyond the end users', and when devs tested (mostly local, not multiple systems across networks), there was no basis in the customers' reality. Endless performance problems were

Is it perhaps time to return to using external tools such as Privoxy, Pi-Hole and the like? Privoxy appears to still be around, and (I think) was originally at the forefront of user-managed web controls. Once the browser reaches its natural

I'm not sure that longevity and resale value are necessarily their strong points any more, since everything (at least in a laptop) is glued together and essentially non-fixable for mortals. My mid-2013 Retina MBP was a very nice system

Mint on my Lenovo P51 has been brilliant. There were basically zero issues to get everything working like sound, sleep/resume and network (common sticky spots). Being a ThinkPad, there were also some utilities to do more specific thing

Arch Linux is based on a rolling update, so my understanding is that you shouldn't have to jump to FreeBSD (nice as it is in some ways) to avoid a release-based upgrade. I've only been using it for a little while on a couple syste

Interesting! I was reading all the comments, wondering if anyone would express the concept that maybe, just maybe, all of this might not be that useful after all. More specifically, how often does all of this really need to be down to the i

A company I worked for had something like this, basically along the lines of, "you can't poach customers or other employees for a year." You likely could still work on your own as a consultant in the same field, but what it a

It might not be that sunny in the winter, but it'll be warm enough that you're not completely bundled up away from the sunlight you do get if it's not actually raining. Winnipeg might be much sunnier in the winter, but I&#x27

Hi, and thanks for posting the content provider viewpoint. While you're here, I have a question. I'd consider white-listing, but am not willing to white-list ad networks and trackers since they also get misused as a malware vector

I'm on an island with ~3K full-time residents, maybe twice that this time of year with tourism. Being remote is a total non-issue as a rule, but depends on being in a company where this is part of corporate culture and processes. I&#x2

Nice, will check it out! FF is already my default browser. One question though, is there a good way to import from other exported sources such as LastPass or KeepassXC?

How about a nice French press (thermos-style, stays hot for a bit), a grinder and some beans? I make a batch at a time (roughly 1 litre), call it a couple full coffee cups, without having to wank about with a bunch of tiny per-cup efforts t

Yup, we had two approaches. You could send out an "I love purple flowers" email to everyone, or the victim would be "Hoffed." That meant setting the desktop background to that picture of David Hasselhoff, nude with strat

Personally, I prefer the minority governments. They have to play nice with the other kids, at the risk of being chucked out of power. As a minority, they have to keep at least one other party reasonably content. Harper's minority years

Maybe that explicit support is what's working for me and my Thinkpad, which does have very good support for everything but the fingerprint reader. Windows seems to do worse for battery life.

If you want good mac 'n cheese, get Annies. It costs more, and the cheese mix doesn't dissolve as well, but damn it's tasty. 12-packs at Costco are my lifeline.

Does this all run as some user's ID? Is it storing/managing credentials for them? RPA tools seem to be all the rage, but questions around accountability, auditability and other security aspects still stand out.
