that’s good to be aware of, thanks

There isnt much to discuss

oh I think there is!

you know what is tiring for fucks sake? that you are parroting your opinion basically, without pointing to any evidence. I don’t know this service, but do you call them rapists because they are known for doing that, or because they didn’t block users that were accused of rape?

I don’t approve of rape and fascism either. but you know, private services don’t make a difference between anyone. why? because they can’t make sure the accusations are true. if they can by looking at your data, they are not a private service.
would you ban encryption because rapists use it too? encrypted services, like proton and matrix? signal? do you think they are guilty of allowing to conduct rape in secret?

even if it turns out the maintainers are rapist fascist fucks themselves, the previous paragraph stands, and I’m interested in your responses.

not a meaningful difference, but if it’s true that only a fifty-something percent voted, then the other half just doesn’t care what is happening with them and their folks

I love how the preview text for youtube videos is entirely fucking useless

since this is most likely not a very popular add-on, any browser with it would stand out considerably more relative to not having it.

websites cannot look at the list of your addons. they have to detect the presence of each, which is mostly possible when the addon makes changes to the page content, or replaces browser APIs in certain ways.

Typically its common for browsers that want to reduce fingerprinting (tor, mullvad etc) recommend not installing new addons as then you stand out from crowd.

because if an addon does something that a website can detect, that’ll make you stand out

I wanted to ask you how does such an extension make your browser more fingerprintable.

I’m still interested in an answer, but after looking at the code there’s a (actually not so) surprising turn: this thing sinply cannot live without remotely loaded google fonts (at addon startup) for some fucking reason.

that technically shouldn’t make you more fingerprintable, but the extension makes sure google is notified that you opened your browser.

code forges are great for management tasks. host an internal forgejo, and create repos for your servers and services. use issues for keeping track of initial setup, config changes and upgrades. have a longer term issue for whenyou just want to record a little change but too lazy to open a full issue for it. you can also store config in the git repo, and write docs as wiki pages for things that are more stable or important aspects of your systems

yeah, they have other undiscovered vulnerabilities

no, I won’t pay for data mining services

I would definitely recommend more to use the laptop for this

what kind of devices do you have? do you have a desktop computer?

oh and if you’re interested in archiving, definitely check out the Archive Team!

they are always running archiving projects, they even participate in preserving reddit content, and they have a connection with archive.org and the Wayback Machine.
they maintain a virtual machine image that you can run at home even on a simpler PC, and help in their projects. It does not consume much storage actively, only some network bandwidth. It’s basically a distributed archiving tool, a lot of people running it download all kinds of data (good for performance and to avoid restrictions) for the selected project, and upload it to AT for preservation

Oh my sweet summer child, 12 GB is not a lot! :)

well, for one you can start saving webpages you found helpful, maybe your useful links collection or bookmarks, if you have any of those. I would recommend using Firefox and the singlefile addon, or the webscrapbook addon. feel free to look into their settings, but don’t let it overwhelm you, of you need it take it in smaller pieces, there’s no shame in it.
since this is mostly text, it shouldn’t take up that much space quickly, and it’s also very efficiently compressible! for example with 7zip.

if you often watch videos, like on YouTube or somewhere else, and you find something useful or otherwise you think it’s worth preserving (entertainment is also a valid reason), you can grab it too. have a look at yt-dlp, it’s very versatile, very configurable, and not only for youtube.
but this will easily take up a lot of space, videos are huge and not really compressible losslessly.

other than that, have a look at the DataHoarder community: !datahoarder@lemmy.ml (I hope the link works). for even more, you may check the datahoarder and opendirectories subreddits through libreddit/redlib

Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no?

the issue was just posted 7 hours ago. maybe they just haven’t seen it yet.

someone in issue #573 asked if the dpapi file is really needed, and by looking at the manual installation instructions, yes, because that contains all the code.

the developer loads custom code into the spotify process by using such an “override” dll file. it works because spotify is voluntarily loading a dll with this name, and if there’s such a file in the directory besides the .exe file, it’ll take precedence over the original file installed in the system.
the trojan warning is probably triggered because this technique is often used by malware to change the behaviour of your programs, but as with most technologies, it has good uses too

did you want to link #573 ? you only linked the issues list

legal streams already do

doubtful. you are like you would yell “conservative!!!” at me if I didn’t approve of making cigarettes free by paying it from taxes, as a solution to a lot of people spending a lot on smoking

I fear just the same will happen to all the other encrypted messengers too, to discourage everyone from using it. it’s a bit like if this was connected to the same gang that so much wants to outlaw secure encryption

haven’t been following what’s going on with fediseer, but it’s good that we have something like it! :) I especially like that cloudflare instances are automatically hesitated, and that there are different levels of mistrust
