  • It doesn’t matter really, one can write any words on a webpage, but show me the proof e.g. an unique and permanent resulting fingerprint.

    I see from topics like this that many people don’t understand fingerprinting, just showing a fingerprint, a soft of ID means nothing. A fingerprint must be:

    1. Unique for a particular browser instance, or at least effectively rare. For example, when the same browser on different distros shows different fingerprints.
    2. Permanent, the same each time you launch the browser.

  • Banning Tor is sus and not wise. I guess I2P traffic over Tor is barely noticeable for Tor, because I2P is much slower. Especially if you need do it by blocking ip addresses and cannot distinguish Tor nodes otherwise then you do it wrong. And now I2P literally has introduced global IP blocklist because of someone’s opinionated decision.


  • I’m not so sure what is worse. I wish we wouldn’t reimplement statist practices in computers, as it often not goes well in our physical world, and invent more resources into OS/network security, compartmentalization and privilege separation. But yeah, the reality is it’s easier to put a god-like “trusted” agent in a system. Well, the police need have guns, read all private chats, place security cameras with face recognition everywhere… to do their jobs. Otherwise terrorist attacks or whatever could result in way more damages after all. The same story every time.















  • After using Silverblue for some time I tried to use Arch again, and pacman had failed at installation process. A easy fix for that is to be like: 1. Get list of all the installed packages; 2. Install all these packages again with --force. But after using immutables the situation is just meh.

    And also now I dislike package managers which require to be used with sudo, and cannot ask for permissions with polkit.

    So. BTW, I don’t use Arch.
