x00z@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•EU is proposing a new mass surveillance law and is asking the public for feedback newsEnglish2·8 days agoI did this a few times already and sent my mails to 20+ MEPs. The most I’ve gotten back was 3 replies.
x00z@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•EU is proposing a new mass surveillance law and is asking the public for feedback newsEnglish51·9 days agoDo you have a nice copy pasta I can send?
I also suggest people to post the list of email addresses they gather so we can paste that into our email clients:
email1
I’ve done this in previous battles against these authoritarian proposals and it makes it easier. .com, email2 .com, etc
x00z@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Do cookies communicate IP address in any way?English3·10 days agoLibreWolf is a good start.
If you want something less restrictive I suggest learning more about it and maybe checking out some guides. There’s quite some addons that are meant to protect against fingerprinting:
You can always check your fingerprint on:
The goal is to either not be unique or have your uniqueness change as much as possible.
x00z@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Do cookies communicate IP address in any way?English14·10 days agoLook at it this way:
When visiting LinkedIn your browser connects to
shittyadnetwork.com
. It isn’t tracking you yet so it sets a cookie with a unique identifier. Then when you go to Spotify and it makes your browser connect toshittyadnetwork.com
too, it will pass that cookie, allowing the ad network to link you to both LinkedIn and Spotify.It gets far more crazier though. There’s methods to fingerprint you and your device so that even if you clear cookies, it can still accurately identify you. They also track IPs so if you clear cookies and they consider a specific request to be you, they’ll just link you back to your original tracking profile. If a whole website links to an ad network, and most of them do, the ad network can track whatever pages you visit on the website and categorize you because of that. Hell, the websites sometimes even supply that data directly to the ad network themselves.
Solution:
- Block ads
- Block trackers
- Use a cookie whitelist (where you have to allow a website to store a permanent cookie)
- Use anti-fingerprint measures
- Use email aliases
- Use a VPN
- Continuously speak up against this privacy invading tracking bullshit

There’s a cache size that holds a specific size that you will be uploading back. As long as Stremio is running in the background you will be seeding.
x00z@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Decision paralysis? I built a browser game where 12 strangers decide for you in 3 minutesEnglish1·18 days agoThe amount of requests my browser is making to that website is insane.
POST /elasticsearch/mget
every second. Looking at the response I see that the default (probably fake) questions have 1000+ answers.

x00z@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why disable ssh login with root on a server if I only log in with keys, not password?English0·2 months agoFinding an exploit in ssh is worth more than whatever your server has to offer though.
Because Plex used to be good but new it’s just pure enshitification.
