If am not wrong, Little snitch doesn't stop any malicious domain that the user is not aware of. Little snitch is effectively a MITM app for all connections on the system it is installed on.
My point is. With Linux and FOSS software, you do not necessarily need to treat programs as hostile. By default, most software is open and can be audited. If you decide to extensively use proprietary software then you…
> You can apply more flexible rules than just blocking specific hostnames -- for example, based on IP subnets, port numbers, or specific binary executables This doesn't sound like a common use case. You can already…
So Wireshark but with connection permission toggles... Why does anyone need this on Linux? You can already block domains you know are malicious in the hosts file or use a personalized DNS resolver for that. Or am I…
This would all be true if podman wasn't a gimped version of docker.
How about you consume your international news from outlets that actually specialize on reporting global news. Such as the BBC world service.
Not in support of the above poster's views btw, but I think he gave the analogy in a broader sense. Your take on this mirror analogy is from a micro-level. I still think looking at FB from a birds-eye view, the society…
Reminds me of a situation where I had to do tech support for a pal who had bought a Chinese phone (later learned it was a Xiaomi device). Turns out for some reason the Chinese model didn't have Google play store…
Oh. How convenient this automated system concluded I was a bot right immediately after the above comment received downvotes... I checked and there's no mention anywhere on HN guidelines about bans/limitations. This info…
Last I checked it's not illegal to be a fascist. Hacking computer systems and stealing data however is illegal. Whether this is right or wrong is debatable. Free speech shouldn't be.
Exhibit A. HN downvoting this comment to hell
This increase of extreme assault on free-speech platforms should be worrying to everyone. Not too long ago, we were hailing the "internet" as a free fair space. Now it is a free fair space ... for everyone but some kind…
I can tell your age by this comment. I'll leave you with this quote. "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Instead Firefox uploads your geographical location to their servers every time it starts up. And before you ask, this telemetry cannot be stopped. And when you finally manage to do some therapeutic dissonance from the…
> data.mistat.intl.xiaomi.com Ah. I'd recognize this spy domain anywhere since it regularly features in my pihole's top 5 blacklisted ones
All brands of smart TVs track you. Regardless of operating system. With this reasoning, one should not even look at any modern equipped TV.
I disagree, 4K HDR even on LCD panels is worth the picture. And a major jump from 1080p. Though what I agree with you about is the OLED prices. Been ages and still no indication of the prices climbing down.
> How could they not be responsible for the adverts they run? Except Facebook is not a political outfit (though debatable depending on who you ask) but rather, a private business. Anything they do or don't do is…
TIL The vast userbase of HN is 95% Apple, 3% Android, 0.0005% Pinephone. The remaining ~1% don't even make a digital footprint since they use the old Nokia 3310 type phones.
Offence is the best defence
You joke. But what if we we're playing right into their game and robot resistance is already underway. What if there's more to the vaccines we're injecting into ourselves? Is Bill Gates even a real person or just a…
Seems you have too many HN tabs open at the same time.. But the article I have linked shows the study done on how apps read this information. Goes both ways for Android and Apple at the time, not sure if much has changed

Wait until iot becomes mainstream. I foresee tiny chips creating mass scale mutiny against their creators and colonizing us (best case scenario)
Couldn't agree more. It's a far better approach as a cloaking technique. Reason I use privacy-possum addon on Firefox.
