Never understood why you would use anything else. It's in coreutils!!!
There's also a FreeTube Android fork, but it's not on F-Droid
https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid
Highly recommend FreeTube on Desktop, though, if you are still in the browser. Has Dearrow, SponsorBlock, and a ton of options, plus a couple of Firefox extensions where you can redirect any YT links to open in FreeTube. Also uses Invidious on the backend.
I'm always backing up with SyncThing in realtime, but every week I do an off-site type of tarball backup that isn't within the SyncThing setup.
Interesting. I'm very curious at what could be causing the discrepancy between our results!
This is exactly why I think that this thought of a single day of "no spending" is complete and utter bullshit. It's a stop-gap that allows the elites to plan and workaround, plus it placates the complacent to get them back into their usual spending habits the very next day.
Doing a single day is essentially just punishing a corporation with a fine, which recent history shows is completely and utterly useless.
No, I am not OK with any of that. The time for being nice was over more than a decade ago. People that don't see this are only enabling the oligarchies to continue to grow.
To those that think I'm wrong about Feb 28th: Go ahead and be complacent, but you better stop complaining about how bad fascists are if you can't be bothered to change your habits and take away their power in the only way we can short of murder. Why wait until the 28th, and why stop on Mar 1st?
Can you elaborate? When I'm using Mullvad Browser+VPN, have DAITA and Multi-hop on, it doesn't know who I am at all.
Since this is a VPN, there are a ton of visits with this FP ID, and the FP ends up calculating differently (and I get different visits results, trust scores) whenever I refresh my session in the browser, or even just reconnect the VPN.
The other data on the page are all completely generic guesses at my system, monitor size, etc. and maybe 10% of that info is accurate to my system. Even that info is not very useful. For instance it says I'm running "Linux x86_64"... they certainly nailed that information down...
When I do this with only the VPN and Firefox, then the data is a lot more consistent between refreshes, incognito mode, etc. and the FP ID is pretty much the same every time in Firefox.
The other data taking guesses at my system are also more accurate when using regular ol' Firefox. For instance, it actually adds to the "Linux x86_64" that I am using an AMD GPU (no additional info than brand). Still not all that damning if it wasn't for the FP ID in this scenario.
I've read through the docs, and several other articles, that explain more about creepjs, but I culd be misunderstanding something somewhere I guess.
ETA: I'm also noticing that in regular Firefox, the timezone data is all fairly accurate to the current servers my VPN is hopping through. In Mullvad Browser, though, the timezone data is all over the place and not at all accurate to what my VPN is set to, let alone where I actually am.
ETA2: maybe my settings are more specific than you expect? Maybe your data about being 100% traceable is with 0 configuration of the browser or VPN?
My setup:
- Mullvad Browser + Mullvad VPN
- DAITA turned on
- Multi-hop turned on
- Lockdown mode on
- All DNS content blockers enabled
- Extra steps to unify VPN+Browser DNS compatibility
I could see if maybe you just installed Mullvad VPN and didn't use their browser (or didn't configure the browser for the VPN) that you'd be way more traceable.
I find it funny that evangelicals outwardly embrace everything the bible says they shouldn't.
Oh wait, no, I'm just really fucking depressed to the point of insanity.
I personally like Mullvad's approach to something like this.
First, use their browser and VPN together (browser was co-developed with the Tor Project folks),
In the VPN, you want to turn on DAITA. It's an interesting concept and I hope more legit projects like Mullvad start doing these things.
They're essentially adding bunk data to your VPN traffic to hide you from any AI analysis that might use only your throughput to identify you and your habits.
I mean, most deodorants have heavy metals and aspartame in them. He's 50% correct in this decision.
Now he just needs to gain some empathy for others and start using something like a Mineral Deodorant Block
They're cheaper, last 50x as long as normal deodorant sticks, and only need to be applied once generally, even if you sweat during the day.
But then you gave me an article from one of the most left-wing confirmation-bias writers I've ever seen.
I will continue to search for it on my own.
just for future reference (click the source button to see how I embedded your image)

Yea, if you are not willing to be meticulous about learning/understanding all the DNS stuff (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and plan to host this at home, don't.
I ran this same system for a very long time on a VPS and had no problems with blacklists, but I'm also a career systems engineer that maintained enterprise systems and exchange servers.
Also note how I am speaking of MIAB in the past tense...
I think the better option is to try and avoid email as much as you can, just like SMS. Outdated tech and not secure. At that point, any ol' existing email service is good enough.
They fired the devs, not marketing /s
The essence of "vote with your wallet."
One day is going to do exactly nothing. A year of shrinking revenue, though...
Yea, a single day of missed profits might make them give a statement, but they're not going to change because of it.
We need to stop buying things from these people, period, across the board.
If it's a chain/franchised, don't give them your money.
I said nothing about taking pity on him, and definitely didn't take it anywhere near becoming a monk. I didn't even claim Barron would be a good person if he deviated from his father's bullshit, I'm just putting out food for thought that he may have the potential to deviate.
And yea, laws consider him an adult at 18, but the body and brain are not finished developing.
Any way, my edited point was more about immediately suppressing an opinion that isn't even all that controversial or impossible to occur. It's reddit behavior, I said something incongruent with the hivemind, therefor it must not be discussed. If it was misinformation or just a straight up lie, then I get it. But that isn't so.
Like I mentioned in the post, considering his brothers it's not likely he will make a change, any way. However, he does have a different mom than the others, and growing up with a much different type of publicity. I have two half-siblings (we share a mom, diff dads). Just because we're related doesn't mean we have the exact same beliefs, or comprehend our parents' words in the same way. My siblings live for money, I live in a forest and don't talk to them at all.
