I use a ti8ling windows manager. usually

I know that my doctor won't get the vaccine for himself, since he considers it unsafe and I trust my doctor more than some stranger on the Internet claiming things. The specific complaint about the process was that the testing was only done on Africans who are genetically different from other races and thus the vaccine is still untested as far as these other races are concerned.

To me it remains untested until it is out in the field for about two years. How are you supposed to figure out long-term damage if you don't give the tests time?

Unfortunately the pharma industry is one that has lost every bit of trust it ever had over the years, so I wouldn't even be surprised if they were lying about everything, faking test results and paying off enough people to keep this under the lid. I recently heard that a cure for cancer was found decades ago, but since it was unprofitable the pharma industry suppressed it successfully. And that's just something I heard in the past few weeks.

i appreciate you maintaining your position but i do not appreciate you spreading false facts. these were tested that how they are able to be distributed. if you did any to little research or had any basic knowledge on how vaccines were developed you would know this.

I support this post.

Depends on if it's collecting personal identifying information or not.

Just knowing things like traffic stats, busiest traffic days of the week or times of day, traffic total divided by country of origin or popular pages isn't much of a privacy concern anymore than knowing that at 5PM on a Friday, this particular coffee shop is busy.

Narrowing it down to knowing how many times a particular IP accesses the site, what pages, and what they clicked on to get to that page and what they clicked on to exit, etc... Knowing browser stats, screen resolution, OS, etc... That's the privacy concern. Just like knowing that at 5PM on a Friday, /u/mr4channer is at this busy coffee shop, and he was last week too, and often visits between these hours on these days, and orders this, and pays with that, etc. That's the privacy concern. But just having a general understanding of knowing peak usages isn't, in my opinion.

For what it's worth, I don't do any of that for this site. I do have network graphs at the server level that just tells me how much traffic passes. Can't differentiate between traffic from the various networks that way, besides Lokinet, which the service creates it's own virtual ethernet device so it's graphed separately, but with no data other than the just bandwidth in/out. For the purpose of this site, that's enough. Upvotes/comments, perceived activity and looking at a network graph over the course of time (say 3-6 months) will tell me if there is growth or not.

That ain't no small difference

Flat justice

I never used Ubuntu and will never use Ubuntu at all !

Thanks for the others suggestions :)

tails os, debian, antix is bundled with a ton of software, opensuse also has liveos options. dont use ubuntu

analytics is not "privacy" focused at all

Hi thanks for fast answer !

I already have a amnesic OS with Tails for travel.

I choose the Live-USB option for unplug my OS/files and use it on any device like you said.

I'll use Debian or Artix or maybe TTY (why not LOL).

Nowadays if you want privacy I think the best way is to have Live USB (but the ultimate safest way to have total privacy is simply not be connected at all and totally Off The Grid but that's another topic :) )

Thanks you again for your answer !

PS : do you know any spotify or netflix like .onion ?

using jewgle in your site at all is cringe

I prefer Debian but there are a ton of other flavors of Linux to choose from. You may just want to download a few and see what works best for you: https://www.debian.org/CD/live/

Since it doesn't sound like you need or want an amnesic OS like Tails (which is very popular and used by many via USB) I'd say just about any Linux flavor should work just fine.

Is the Live-USB option so that you can unplug your OS/files and use it on multiple devices, or so you can physically lock up the SSD when not in use (like in a physical safe?), or what? If not, then maybe installing as normal on the device you will use the most and using full disk encryption and following some basic privacy measures will offer you what you're looking for as well.

To be fair, I thought about using something to just measure website traffic and in the end, decided against it.

I used to run Piwik as a self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics on other sites in the past, but that still gave me the option to view a ton of data that I didn't really 'need'.

I figured for this site I'll just measure growth on perceived activity and BW use over the course of time. This is the first site I've ran that I've not cared about SEO scores and search rankings, that I've not (over) analyzed data over to try to improve this random metric or that.

I mean, you're still pinging YouTube directly but I guess at least you don't have to browse their site directly.

May not be so much a privacy tool as it is, just a tool. Wasn't for sure where to share this.

Oh, I like that! I'll link to it in my next list update like I've done not_bob's and copy any that hasn't already been covered. Looks good!

My go-to lists for new routers!

"Intellectual property" is an outgrowth of the old slave system, one which declares certain activities people do to be property rather than certain people. It needs to be abolished entirely. It would be almost infinitely more efficient to do so in technical terms, allowing all technology to everyone and just pay producers according to a tax system that lets the users select where they want their money to go. However, such a system would not benefit the few who own the world, so we must destroy it first.

What this article describes but fails to comment on is that "CAPTCHA" is a word that started off meaning "a test for humans versus bots" and ended up meaning "Google AND ONLY GOOGLE Rummaging Through Everything You Do On The Web To See If They Like It".

Nowadays, CAPTCHA can only serve as a means for the user to screen out fake forums like 4chan that look like they're independent companies when they're really just Google spy franchises. After you rule out everything bogus ... maybe you come here.

This is a fairly naive approach that tolerates having a lot of sites not work. To be sure, the sites that do work without Javascript are the best sites, the least spy-industrial-complex afflicted of what is out there.

But, that said, there is a more modest approach which is to run NoScript on Firefox and authorize Javascript on one site at a time as needed. Now NoScript and Firefox both come with big crooked "whitelists" but at least for the moment you can still disable what you see there.

A notable advantage of disabling scripts is that a LOT of news websites are really, really dumb. They have come up with something so stupid I couldn't believe the first time they did it and now everybody of course wants to copy it. Namely, the sites seem to rely on cookies to let people read one article from a web search, then start pretending they can't find any other article you click on. But I guess they use a script to check if you're accepting their cookies? So I just block all cookies from nyt, sanluisobispo, usnews, bostonglobe, kansascity, idahostatesman, miamiherald ... whatever dot com, and then they are as readable as in the glory days of the web before this script nonsense and the third party spy ads it was meant to propagate had ever been introduced, despite putting on a pretense of not being readable at all. I wonder if subscribers have as good an experience.

There is a hardware tool that can secure private information on a computer system... a hammer.

Somebody was right -- either Stallman or Kaczinksy. Take your pick.

Probably less ads :D
