Illecors,

What kind of privacy are you after?

Illecors,

I don’t like what you’re trying to do, but I think gnome-keyring would do this for you. Seahorse is the gui for it

How to make sure transmission is using my vpn?

I have transmission running on my server in a docker container that is supposed to go through gluetun. If I run test with ipleak and other torrent ip testers it shows my vpn’s ip address. However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all...

Illecors,

Packet sniffing.

Illecors,

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

Illecors,

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.

Illecors,

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

Illecors, (edited )

Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don’t do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise :::: spoiler ain’t nobody got time for that :( https://i.imgflip.com/1f0umb.jpg

Illecors,

I’m not convinced this is better thatn my floating alacritty window piping through fzf, sort and xargs.

Repo needs at least screenshots, ideally a gif or two showing the product in action.

Other than that - great work!

Illecors,

I can show/help you how to self host for about $6/month + $10-15/year, if you’re interested. Could be cheaper if you’re willing to bet on a less reliable cloud provider.

Illecors,

I can already hear the internet complaining abiut stepping into sheep shit.

Illecors,

This meme is pushing it because, well, meme. And that’s all fine.

As a non-native atheist speaker, though, I have to say “happy holidays” just doesn’t roll off the tongue the way “merry christmas” does.

It’s not a big deal at all, but I do find it annoying at the minimal level.

Broke a partition. Is there any way of saving it?

While I was switching distros, I accidentally broke a partition. I’m almost certain that all the data is there, but it doesn’t have a filesystem (I used ext4). Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...

Illecors,

You can try fdisk.

If the partition table is there - create a new partition at the exact same location, of the exact same size.

If the partition table is not there - create *the exact same type (mbr vs gpt) partition table, then do the first if.

Fdisk should tell you that it found a filesystem signature. Do not wipe it.

Illecors,

If you don’t mind sanitising PII and sharing it here - give it a go.

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.

Illecors,

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

Illecors,

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.

How private am I?

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it’s “strict” setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn’t work due to blocked connections I relax the...

Illecors,

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.
Illecors,

This is a very simple question to answer:

Illecors,

Evolution work fine with a business google account. I couldn’t use gnome online accounts as that’s blocked by policy, but regular imap worked just fine.

Illecors,

Subbed!

Illecors,

The ending is not great, but it definitely was an ending. Some shows can’t even manage that. And to me it hasn’t spoilt all the previous seasons - those were solid.

Illecors, (edited )

For 3 or 4 seasons I completely ignored Game of Thrones - the name just threw me off. To some extend I’m happy I did - there was a lot of content to catch up to when I finally did give the first episode a shot :)

Illecors,

You need to change jobs. Obviously your coworkers are taking a piss of you and being right doesn’t really matter.

Illecors,

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.
