LibreWolf ftw, I switched to it, installed my extensions and am not looking back. Would be nice to have a mobile Firefox(LibreWolf) with all extensions, I should go look around F Droid again. in ff if you're reading this go to about:co

That's one way to look at it, mine is no data goes out or in unencrypted, and for me it's simple. Adtech? "No." - let packet kiddies get my home IP address? "No." It's as simple as that: No thanks, then I

Should be interesting to see how the internet blocks those of us who don't want to be fingerprinted, ID'd, or reveal our home IP addresses. YouTube already blocks embeds to login and prove I'm not a bot, funnily it doesn&#x27

Any hops along the paths and whatever they split off to by whoever. And of course they can, even with HTTPS the Client Hello is unencrypted. Unencrypted data transmission just isn't a thing I'm interested in with it being 2025.

They're not useless. And I'm well aware of how MITM attacks work. Any hops along the path from my VPN endpoint to the server unencrypted can be, and are: viewed with plaintext. With a self signed certificate I can choose to accept

I enjoy this person's writings, and contributions. I am Linux's biggest fan and research cyber security daily. I would prefer https.

It's not about threat, it's about privacy. I understand your statements but 'what is the threat in this case' to answer that: I don't want to know, I've moved on from those worries. Always encrypt.

It did for Librewolf -- what I moved to from Firefox. Self-Signed certs I'm down with, http I'm not, and never will be for any reason. Plain-text data transmissions have no acceptable reasoning.

I stopped using social media even to stay connected - I look at hacker news to stay up to date with tech, and reddit for cyber security related subs but the FBPurity I installed a year or so ago, and my account was still small just friends

tell that to salt typhoon who collected copious amounts of data on all of us. https still uses unencrypted client hello's (ECH) across the vast majority of the internet, showing which domain the client is visiting in plaintext for mult

Ah yeah I came up with the solution to that one. It's 'don't fly drones over our heads' approach. Also the 'upgrade the fragile infrastructure so a light breeze doesn't take out millions of people's power.

Wow, that makes me want to check it out more thoroughly (if I had the time) I remember when CS Pro Mod was being made between the transition of CS 1.6, Source, the 1.6 community didn't want to move over to Source, before GO/CS2 ca

Correct. And glad you're aware of the challenges with running them. I'm not saying the options are favorable for everybody, I'm saying the options are there if it becomes locked in to 1-3 companies.

Yeah, but we can self-host them. At this point in the span of it, it's more about infrastructure and compute power to meet demand and Google won because it has many business models, massive cashflow, TPUs, and the infrastructure to bui

Yeah, it does. It's not the worst in the world but dark mode my eyes relax and I can better enter flow-states. Too much non-dark mode and I get eye floaters. Probably has something to do with having an all black background on desktop &

Of course. There's data where there isn't data. -make client load something -client doesn't load it -add.fingerprint.point(client,'doesnltloadthings',1) -detect if client does something only a certain browser does -

Ah yes, nuclear energy, real hot, make water boil, make things happen. You're telling me we don't have sci-fi energy harnessing capability to capture the nuclear energy itself and convert it to electricity? It's 2025!

As if adtech and blackbox algorithms don't already have that. It's scary to think about, especially in regards to spirituality, but I've seen the implant(s) allow people who wouldn't be able to move at all, stuck there;

You're definitely old and bitter, welcome to it. You CREATED something, and I like to think that creating things that I love and enjoy and that others can love and enjoy makes creating things worth it.

This wouldn't raise serious concerns. Ask the customers/community if doing it before hand is something they agree with in some form of poll, then just do it. At the end of the day DNS is a million years old, out-dated and the miss
