Gonna modify it a bit as sure it’s not that true

I am wrong but you need to use usenet providers to download stuff right? So it’s centralized and company based?

Maybe I’m a bit old school but is this process not against the spirit of piracy,

be generous to share
fight against censorship and DCMA takedown
work in a decentralized way

But what’s your opinion about it, because don’t you think it’s opposed from the original torrenting piracy spirit?

In the way of piracy (maybe I missed it but Usenet piracy is new for me)

I think that the Tor network is proven to be broken by feds if you are suspicious.

The Tor network was in fact used to reveal the identity of someone (https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/german-authorities-apparently-cracked-tor-anonymity-but-onion-heads-say-its-still-safe) but as we don’t know the truth we cannot really make conclusion but we can act that :

(Tor is always more secure if you’re opsec is great from the beginning)

For example you’re one of the biggest drug dealer and you’re doing 100 000 of deaths every say, for sure they will cramp up to you and find you, succeeding to deanonymize you.

But most of the time you are not that attractive so you will be mostly anonymous. They can target an entity to reveal it but cannot deanonynize the entire network

Vivaldi is a no-go for me due to these two reasons:

1- Chromium based 2- Does not respect the “open-source spirit”

Because it makes a healthier base to work with or to simply use it without caring

Increasing privacy (and sometimes security)

So what do you about it?

thx

For sure datas are everywere and will maybe try to remove it, but (as said to another person) what do you think about this: https://lemmy.ml/comment/18649355 Thank you

This is surely one of the best option but its time hungry to setup, read this reply: https://lemmy.ml/comment/18649355 What do you think?

Thank you, to be clear these datas are not really compromising but it’s still datas and I don’t want them on internet. My point of view was, is it better to leave it and fake that we are a “normie” (sorry for the word, a little bit negative…) and that I don’t care about being there or to try to remove it. My argument is that trying to remove it would make me shine like a glowstick by saying that I care bout it. What’s your opinion?

Waterfox try to remove some blobs of Firefox out of the box, so it’s better for the normal user

I don’t know what is spam for you, but when you get three message requests from three girls respectively named Tania, Clara and Ella that are contacting you about you carrier or your management skills, I call it spam.

The way that Signal integrates phone number is odd because it opens up the spam door. O understand why Signal use phone numbers this way (to make “normies” adopt Signal more easily like WhatsApp would do) but it not the best to kind of contaminate the network with the traditional cell network

Scams, girls wanting to chat with you, incredible money opportunities…

You can go to Simplex (for sure a lot of people here already done it) but if only privacy nerds get to this place this is not a great solution. We (I’m talking about us using Lemmy and chatting on SimpleX) must convince people, starting by friends and family to stop using these fucking socials then at this point SimpleX will be considered as a viable alternative

It’s not an argument. Think about regular mobile numbers, are they preventing spams? No.

Just the old .ssh/config file, works like a charm on all terminals :)

It’s rare for laptop to come with hardware switches for microphones but some of them are built with camera switches

Have seen a Dell Latitude 5400 (I think) with an hardware camera cover
