That's the best solution - improved privacy and sometimes even reduced gas prices when using cash.

What's the penalty? It ought to be equivalent to a DUI, given the impairment is similar if not worse from phone distraction at the wheel.

That's too bad, looks like I'll have to stick with GSuite Gmail to have browser-based, non-Javascript access to my email.

Sincere question - why is JavaScript required to sign up for Fastmail? Is it for browser fingerprinting? If so, what data is collected, how is it used and how long is it retained? …

Curious how you are managing disk encryption for all those devices, if you are at all.

Same here, but I have found wireless performance to be subpar. Ended up double-NAT'ing a second APU with Debian to use 802.11. Still plenty happy with OpenBSD though.

I tried again and now get the Incapsula crap - maybe related to IP address (which changes often on Tor)? Edit: the page loads for the first time after assigning a new IP in Tor, bu…

Characterizing this software feature as an "attack" or "backdoor" is pretty hyperbolic. In order to abuse multiplexing, the adversary needs local code execution ability, by which p…

Works fine here, even over Tor - Firefox 70.0.1 with javascript.enabled=false in about:config.

I'm happy with LineageOS running on a Pixel, no Play Services and only open source applications installed over adb.

I doubt it's possible. I think Google uses the device browser (SFSafariViewController) to do OAuth, so users aren't asked to sign in in every application. No doubt they think this …

Can someone post a TLDR? Twitter blocks Tor exit nodes, so the content is unavailable: > 403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.

MAC address of your radio, plus the BSSID of every wireless network you've ever connected to and saved.

On OpenBSD: # echo "lladdr random" >> /etc/hostname.athn0

I agree completely. These efforts to "break" end-to-end encryption seem entirely ineffectual so long as open source alternatives exist - they are plenty and well proliferated. Bann…

I also experienced the gigabit performance issue (Debian 9 and 10, APU4C4); estimate a bandwidth cap of about 400 Mbps, too. I don't actually have a need to exceed that speed on my…

I've been using the APU2 platform for a home network router and can strongly recommend it. I especially like the open source firmware (coreboot) with frequent, signed releases. Wir…

By far the biggest tracking offender is Javascript. Enabling it could reveal your operating system, cpu/gpu architecture, screen resolution, draw a precise and unique canvas finger…
