This assumes the only source these companies collect from is your internet traffic. It’s not.

And even if it was, VPNs don’t protect against fingerprinting.

For the past few months I’ve been using kanary which is a service that searches for your information on hundreds of different data mining sources and submits deletion requests for you.

I started with ~225 exposures and it’s gone down over time but I’m still sitting at ~50 exposures and it seems to have plateaued.

This information was data like who I’d married and when, past and current addresses, family members, etc. None of which was gleaned from internet traffic.

capital,

Sorry but that isn’t gonna help.

capital,

The vast majority of the Android/iOS flamewar is pro Android on fedi (mostly Mastodon for me). I usually don’t bother but I thought my comment was at least sort of funny? oh well.

capital,

Oh yeah I love that movie. I have it on my server.

How does that person’s behavior differ from “normal”?

For example, a Christian would go to church, probably believe in hell, and pray.

I don’t even know what one would do differently if they truly believed we’re in a computer.

I use Fastmail.

Is it better to use a non-FOSS email and phone number forwarder or to use one of each for everything? (www.cloaked.app)

I like to try websites out before tying my identity to them. How do you do it? Simplelogin? I honestly won’t manually make a new gmail for every new website I try and I to want the option to see what emails I get.

Hit reply.

This is why I just moved from protonmail to Fastmail. With Fastmail I can send from arbitrary addresses using my domain. Why it’s not that simple with proton is beyond me and now that I’ve tested everything with Fastmail these past few weeks, I see it’s a choice.

I almost signed up for simplelogin but realized I was being sold something that should just be included. Plus setup was convoluted as fuck.

Meanwhile Fastmail is intuitive so far.

I can reply from ANY address from my domain including the exact one that was used to send me an email.

I can “deactivate addresses” by sending messages to a particular address straight to trash with rules.

Edit: turns out Fastmail has a masked addresses feature built in, separate from a catch-all. It’s basically simplelogin built in, if you want to enable it. Proton is looking more and more overpriced.

capital,

I’m still not clear on the value proposition of simplelogin.

I seem to get the same thing with a domain and a catch all address.

capital,

If I were a professional spammer, the first thing I’d do to clean the address list I have is to strip out plus addresses. It’s a simple regex.

On how to filter, I can send any address straight to the trash apparently just like simplelogin. I’ll know who sold or leaked my info because it’s in Bitwarden and I can just search my vault to see who I handed that particular address to.

New Fedora Slimbook 14" joins the Fedora Slimbook 16" - Fedora Magazine (fedoramagazine.org)

We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).

capital,

My wife’s MacBook Air is years old. Doesn’t even have Apple silicon.

But being able to tune the OS to known hardware helps I guess.

capital,

Great info. Thanks!

capital,

Thank you. This is very useful input.

Oh yeah I used both of those.

Reddit enhancement suite would do manual, single user tagging and the Masstagger browser add on would do… well, mass tagging.

I used it to show me when people I interacted with made more than 50 posts/comments in places like r/conservative or r/thedonald. It would also link you to the comments so you could see what they were saying there.

I found it helpful because there were times when I found people undermining concepts like cultural pluralism and participated in those subs. I knew where they were coming from and what they were trying to convince readers of (nothing good).

Several times it helped me effectively argue against white supremacists.

As long as comments are public, which I think is the point of sites like Reddit, lemmy, and kbin, those types of plugins and info will be available.

Primarily on site with NextCloud for getting to my important documents via mobile.

Backups are going to Wasabi via restic but if you want to do something a little more “live”, rclone mount with Wasabi also works well, even on Windows.

As always, I suggest encrypting before putting it anywhere but your own devices.

capital,

It “clicks” on all ads while still blocking them from my view.

It’s not enough IMO to just block. I also want to poison their data about me by clicking on everything they attempt to show me.

capital,

this one because the Don’t Fuck With Paste plugin didn’t catch it for some reason.

Plus some others that are specific to some torrent trackers I’m on.

capital,

Mine was so bad I had to get my wife to put my socks and shoes on for me for a few weeks. I was only 30 at the time…

A friend got me this book and taking its advice was the best thing for me.

Chiro didn’t do shit for me but physical therapy (this book) did. Now I work out regularly to include straight leg deadlifts and my back feels great. Still working on flexibility but that has also improved.

capital,

What kind of privacy do you expect when the goal is to post something on a public forum?
