I think Dessalines has had some similar idea he has mentioned multiple times a few weeks ago
Though on the other hand giving fake info will make you look more unique and trackable.
will it if it’s not obvious? how?

Several law firms have pursued this option, one of which was sued by Valve for allegedly attempting to “extort” the company with a threat of mass arbitration with more than 50,000 people. (This lawsuit was dismissed in August without prejudice, meaning Valve could re-file.)
The idea is that the sheer number of arbitration cases would force Valve to settle with all of them with the same resolution, instead of arbitrating them all individually. Arbitration is usually less expensive than litigation, but on this mass scale, it can easily become overwhelming for the company the disputes are with. “In states like California where businesses must pay most of the arbitration fees in a consumer claim, the business would be required to pay a filing fee for each individual claimant,” Steinberg said. “With fees of approximately $1,500 per claim, a claim with thousands of individuals could cost millions in filing fees.”
I have a few hundred public torrents active, and they all have peers, even the “fringe” ones. maybe your statistics is right, but even then it has value. I don’t care about leechers if it improves the service for us too
thanks Microsoft for hiding extensions by default!
I thought the delayed shutdown was intentional to not let the vibration of the disks increase too much
That is sort of saying that if someone want to learn Swedish, but since they don’t know any Swedish, it is better to start them on Norweigan first.
nobody wants to learn Swedish here. they want to be understood in a community that knows both Swedish and Norwegian, and if Norwegian is easier, they can learn just that
If UFW had used a similar syntax to that of iptables, then
then it wouldn’t be Uncomplicated anymore
who speaks about localhost? out of 21 active ports on my machine, only 3 is only listening on localhost. dhclient, avahi-daemon, syncthing, kdeconnect… cups-browsed did not listen only on localhost either
and over public DHT. we can share magnet links in this community, and why keep it to us only? if we keep it public, the survivability of torrents can even improve
run sudo ss -tulpn
, and have a look at the processes and their privileges listening for incoming connections. If one of them has a vulnerability, through which a third party can make that software do things it was not intended for… that’s pretty bad.
This can most easily happen with software whose developers are underresouced/careless/stubborn.
A recent case of that happening: https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/
Tl;Dr, remote code execution vulnerability in software that most often runs as root, automatically.
I was listening to it a few weeks ago, but vaguely there are auditing companies in the Netherlands that need to verify companies above a certain size whether they are handling their money properly. As I understand it includes tax accounting.
These auditing companies don’t like cryptocurrencies. There are several of these that don’t agree to audit Proton even because they are accepting Bitcoin, but none of the remaining would accept it if they were also accepting a second cryptocurrency.
Now that I think of it, it might have actually been the reason they don’t accept Monero as a payment? In that case, the reason for Proton Wallet being bitcoin only has something to do with another wallet’s developers having been jailed recently for handling multiple cryptocurrencies.
I recommend you to listen to it though, if you understand english speech. There were interesting topics (and Opt Out generally has interesting episodes).
This episode is 54 minutes, audio only. You can find it here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1790481/15505787-proton-wallet-w-andy-yen.mp3.
Chinese vehicles sold in the US would have the same internet connectivity as a base 2007 Honda Civic. Surveillance by the Chinese would be practically impossible with those limitations.
yeah sure, we all know the us government blocks trackers of the bloatware built into chinese smartphones, chinese network routers, and all other things. Except they don’t.

I would even consider buying them, then. Honestly. It’s increasingly hard to find such cars.
Lemmy is disappointingly facebook-like in terms of their seemingly endless desire to be told what to do every step of their lives.
I would be surprised if that was actually the case. most of the visitors are here because they got fed up with reddit’s decisions.
What makes you think that way?
I don’t have a firewall on my desktop or laptop
you are brave to use your laptop that way. or is it used as a stationary device?
but yes it is useful at home if you live with people who you don’t trust to be managing their computer safely
I think it’s fine to start with UFW on a desktop system at home to learn the very basics and get an idea on what ports you actually need. learning iptables/nftables is useful, but not necessary for a simple user at that level
no, not really. on linux that depends on the default policy of the corresponding chains, so it’s configurable. I don’t think all common distros default to reject either.
A firewall (at least in Linux) blocks everything inbound by default.
are you sure? I thought that at least UFW allows through some common LAN services
well of course. however not everyone uses only SSDs, especially before SSDs became popular, but even today.
