Reply to Is it safe to use the tor browser and surfing on the clearnet on the same network? by dandrews
Let me go into more detail. Don't use the same browser for clearnet and tor. Never do this.
It's best to clear the data from whatever browser you use for tor every time you start it. The tor browser does this on it's own. It would be easy enough to correlate you via left-over browser data.
You should really be using the tor browser unless you have a specific need to not.
Don't use javascript unless you really need it. That can expose you. Not only that, but who wants to run untrusted code? This will break some sites.
Don't mix your lives. Your bank account should never be accessed over tor. Nor your facebook, twitter or whatever else. Unless that's the only way you ever access it. Think political bloggers in some less than free countries. It depends on your case use. But, never login with the same account on both networks.

I think the concern was more around the fact that now an unknown and random 3rd party can determine who visits the site looking at the logs of how often their stylesheet was requested. I expect that the website owner would be able to view the logs of his own site, but not that a 3rd party (even if an admin) would be able to do the same to a degree.

Yes, but be smart about it.

Yes it's fine. Just make sure your browser turns off headers, or, you are using the tor browser. The security risk comes from the fact that some websites request the headers of what ever other tabs you happen to have open. Turning off header requests in firefox should solve this.

If you're more or less happy with Thunar, give PCManFM a try. Mostly the same layout so it should feel familiar, with more power user options that don't complicate the UI. In a debian based distro: sudo apt install pcmanfm

Truthfully speaking, I wouldn't care that much. My default position towards websites is distrust. As long as the site in question has some value to me I'm compromising. It's an unfortunate state of affairs, but the web wasn't designed with either privacy nor with security, nor with anonymity in mind, so you don't get any of those. I don't expect this to change, either. Not on the clearnet, anyway. Most people don't even know how things work. They visit websites like they visit a doctor. Unequipped with the knowledge to even notice if something is horribly wrong. We evolved to live in communities where everyone had each others back, so this attitude of trust was an advantage. Nowadays, where nobody has each others back and everyone is looking out only for himself, trust isn't a good thing anymore.

no, this is why most foss projects fail, because they do something their own way instead of listening to users.

I don't watch anime as they come out, I'll always wait for the blu-ray release. TV releases are often censored and/or unfinished. The BD version will be a finished version, often receiving upgraded animation and occasionally extra scenes or even entire extra episodes.
That's why I'm always at least one year behind everything.

Reply to comment by burnerben in In Spain a "register" for those who refuse the vaccine: "It will be shared with EU countries" by Rambler
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.

Reply to comment by mr4channer in Privacy Focused Analytics - A collaborative list of website analytics that don't use cookies and with a focus on privacy. by Rambler
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.

Same. I think I spent $20 on a ticket master show like 10 years ago in a college town bar.
