It would be interesting seeing “period pieces” where it’s just normal banks

There are these things called batteries, and they don’t have to be made from Lithium.

Also, you could take it literally and burn wood to harness the warm energy surrounding it on a winter night.

It’s kinda weird how the roles are reversed. From my experience, geese are just assholes to anything that walks by that isn’t a goose. Eagles tend to keep to themselves in the remote parts of the world.

That being said, they are both majestic birds and it sucks that the bald eagle is practically a symbol of hate and dominance at this point.

If Betterbird is giving that notice, I wonder if this means that all forks of Firefox will also be affected in that same way.

Total pricks.

too late

Thank you sir, may I have another. Harder this time, daddy.

Can we just get an uncut video from each angle? Better yet, give me a comp of each angle onscreen at the same time, no cuts.

It’s an awesome thing, Blue Ghost, but this video is too TikTok for me. Gimme raw data.

I’d like to have audio from the craft itself if it exists, instead of a royalty free cinema-psychology-emotion-symphony track.

I got my Kobo eReader literally days ago, phew

If only there was some sort of invisible power we could harness from a large ball of fire 🤔

lmao, yes. I would love to see the “Angrimaniacs” version.

Indeed. It’s slightly less dangerous and more fun to just yell, “FIRE!”

If other countries decide to bomb or invade us, please start with the south east

Unfortunately, nothing. Always comes from different instances for me. Whack-a-mole

It’s so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json

This. NameCheap actually responds to abuse reports, as well. Turns out they actually think it’s bad for business to allow grifters and con artists to use their services, unlike other major registrars.

though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.

Trump already got what he wanted, what even is this statement?

People that can see and think for themselves.

Note: this excludes a massive portion of US citizens.

Can we start a community in a National Forest somewhere? Since doge fired most of the national park rangers, we shouldn’t have too much trouble and can guarantee that at least that particular area stays clear of garbage and deforesting.

To Note

First, take all this with a grain of salt. Although I’m a systems engineer, I am not an expert in browser fingerprinting.

Most of the data on that page is to fine-tune your anti-fingerprinting setup, but understand that fingerprinting is a fairly new, deeeeeeep, and confusing topic. This is why I mention to use both EFF’s tool and CreepJS. EFF’s tool is a little more generic and doesn’t go super far into the weeds. CreepJS takes extra steps to try and guess if the browser is lying or attempting to skirt around fingerprinting in some ways.

Just remember that anything you add to your browser (like extensions) and some settings will only serve to make you more unique. For instance, using lesser-known browsers means there are less people to be lumped in with, so you look more unique to the broader scope of internet users. There are many other factors as well (as seen in CreepJS) like the viewport resolution, your GPU, and how much access your browser has to your system. For instance, when I use a browser installed via Flatpak on my Linux machine, CreepJS can’t figure out what my GPU is. If I use a browser installed by my distro’s package manager, it can see a lot more about the hardware of my system.

Before I get into some things to pay attention to in CreepJS, one of the best things you can do to help stop tracking is to install and utilize the NoScript extension to stop JavaScript dead in its tracks. Sites will break, but you will start to understand just how endemic the issue of overbloated tracking is out there in the wide web. Also note, this is not the end-all solution, as fingerprinting doesn’t just rely on JavaScript.

CreepJS info

To keep it simple, I would pay attention to the stuff at the top of the page, like:

FP (fingerprint) ID

This is an ID that gets assigned to the session/browser by CreepJS. Some times it changes after clearing cookies and what not. Other times it never changes. However, this is not telling of whether or not you have been uniquely identified, you need to consider other info on the page.

Visits

This is a count of how many times this particular FP ID has visited/refreshed the CreepJS page. The higher the count, the more you look like others (i.e., the less you unique you are, good thing). When I use Mullvad’s Browser+VPN installed via Flatpak, this count is way up there, almost touching 1000 visits. When I use LibreWolf with the same VPN, the count is only 3 and they are all me.

First

This is the date of the first time this FP ID visited CreepJS. If your visits count is high, and this date is several weeks ago, there’s a good chance you’re being lumped in with other people. However, if this date along with the Visits count match up to you using CreepJS, then you have definitely been uniquely identified.

Information under the Worker heading

This info is about the hardware of your computer. The less it shows, the better. Windows will pretty much always show you everything, but it gets muddier with Linux distros. For instance, with the Mullvad Browser+VPN example, it only tells me I’m running Linux_x86_64, which is incredibly generic. No other info shows up. In LibreWolf, though, it tells me a lot more about my system and includes some GPU information.

The rest of the data

If you’re that kind of person, I would peruse the CreepJS documentation (link on the site) and read more about what’s going on. There’s a lot of factors involved, and admittedly I don’t have a full grasp of every detail. I only know what I know from reading and running my own testing on various machines.

I have been trying so damn hard to talk it up. Doesn’t help that I live in MAGA-town USA at the moment.

I even handhold my closest friends (self-proclaimed liberals) on how to stop feeding the beast, and they think I’m over-reacting. Most folks in the USA are just… not willing to back up the things that come out of their mouth.
