  Sorry but that’s totally wrong.

  The entire point is that if it’s unique it can be considered a fingerprint — in fact the entire reason it’s called “fingerprint” is that in theory it’s unique like a real fingerprint.

  If it’s common then it’s unreliable as a fingerprint because it’s no longer unique.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean it’s somewhere between what both of you are saying. I imagine “randomized” means a random common “fingerprint” (with parameters like user agent, language, etc) rather than just a unique set of randomized parameters (say, time zone in US but language set to Farsi which would be unique to an extent).

  From their domain that I’ve already blocked with DNS? Or are you talking about first-party scripts calling Google (which I’ve also seen though much more rare)?

  In any case I block those too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, that’s why I mentioned all the blocking at the DNS and browser extension level — most fingerprinting is being done by third-parties — I generally don’t see first parties fingerprinting but if they do it’s likely a website I chose to be on rather than some shady <script> from God knows where.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My thinking is that most of the fingerprinting is happening by third parties, and where it’s the website operators themselves I’m not super concerned about being fingerprinted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m here with multi-hop VPN with the first two hops staying in-country and the rest all random + a shit load of DNS blocking lists and browser extensions + blocking Google. I use different VPN providers too. I’m also introducing variable delays to my traffic to make NetFilter data less helpful.

  And remember: this won’t work with “hidden” SSIDs.

  From what I recall hidden SSIDs will always be used for location services.

  Isn’t that why we have smartphones and computers? Personally I’ve never contemplated going to the kitchen to do such things.

  I’ve got a Roomba and Braava jet and I think the opposite: the software (navigation) is shit but the hardware (cleaning-wise, not including the lack of lidar here) is great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, blocking all of YouTube blocks all the shorts and it also blocks their disgusting tracking spyware littered across the web (not just Google properties).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I block all their domains using my DNS server and won’t ever be tracked by them again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But what about the small blogger, the local restaurant, or the indie developer? For them, it’s another technical and legal headache, forcing them to install clunky, site-slowing plugins just to avoid a potential lawsuit.

  As a small time developer, just no. Why would I be installing spyware on my small websites and importing a ton of third-party shit instead of doing things the right way from the beginning? Imagine tracking people to the extreme that you’ve got to resort to fucking popups and having that kind of web property tied to your name.

  Well lucky for me they don’t use AWS so I’ve never had to find out. 🥰

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Load bearing Tupperware⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t used AWS in years. No IPv6 support in S3 in 2017 was the last straw for me. I have to deal with it at work (sometimes) and always laugh when they introduce “new” features like HTTPS records in Route53 like two years late.

  Once per year? I had outages much more often than that on AWS.

  I run a side business and have been AWS-free for years. I love when all my competitors go down during AWS outages — my clients are the only ones still online in their industry.

  Off the top: imagine buying an amazing present for a loved one and being so excited to give it to them. Now imagine that someone else intentionally buys the same thing and gives it to them right in front of you.

  I feel like it’s kind of like that.
