Reply to comment by Mrwarmind in What are your favorite anime of each decade? by Wahaha

Hokuto no Ken was pretty cool. It's originally from the 80s, but it got many seasons, even as late as 2016 or something like that.

Anime kind of exploded during the late 1990s and early 2000s, there are so many anime made around that time that it's hard to name all the great ones. Among the generally overlooked ones, I really enjoyed Gallery Fake (2005) and Master Keaton (1998).

Reply to What are your favorite anime of each decade? by Wahaha

It's a bit hard question, a lot of old anime shows I watched recently and can't exactly tell whether they're from the 80s or 90s

I just watched violence jack a month ago

However, I watched fist of north star back in the early 90s and it was the best thing I've seen, but I recon its older than that

As for 2000s, there were many great things like code Geass, death note, Fullmetal alchemist, guren lagan

When it comes to the last couple of years, I'd say Dr.stone

Reply to Freenode commits suicide, is no longer a serious IRC network by Rambler

I've followed the kerfuffle from afar, reading the most popular articles and comments on the "LiberaChat" side. And one theme dominates these stories, like a poorly-written comic book (which is how all drama plays out on this side of the Current Year):

Rasengan pisses off the right people. Every bad decision he might have made makes me chuckle. This Korean dude might actually be based.

I can imagine good reasons for doing all the terrible things he does (like dropping a bespoke, byzantine ircd nobody else uses for something normal people can configure, an ircd which was even controversial a decade ago when there were more people hacking on ircds), but I don't need to. He angers the people who got so angry that they died their hairlogo trans colors and moved out of their parents' house so they could stay up late and put their dildos on a shelf. At least, I'm 41% sure that's what happened.

Edit: (two days later) It turns out they anonymize IPs now like Rizon and other mainstream networks do. Based.

Reply to How Websites Know You're Lying About Your User-Agent by Rambler

I don't want to lie about my UA but I have to change it in order to avoid Cloudflare's CAPTCHA. Cloudflare passes Tor Browser's UA for IP addresses of Tor exit nodes. Btw, Cloudflare distinguishes its users by TLS/SSL fingerprinting as well as by HTTP headers including UA. I must doubt that organizations encouraging TLS/SSL want fingerprinting more beyond security. Hey, Tor Project and EFF, don't be evil...

I don't even change my user agent most of the time, so it just equals to what my browser is, but pretending to be Windows 10 while I actually have Windows 7, so it is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0 currently (this is what LibreWolf does by default, btw).

So anyway, the only time the user agent differs from the defaults is when I want to enable a desktop version on mobile and when I want to bypass getting user agent blocked because I'm using Wget, so I usually just empty it (or set it to a browser user agent because it also gets blocked).

Also, since I block third party scripts with uMatrix by default, there's not much point to constantly changing the user agent because the trackers won't see it anyway.

No single user-agent would protect your privacy anyway. What I do is to let my user-agent switch every ten minutes. Also, user-agent not only carries browser information, but also browser version and operating system.

Having scripts blocked per default also helps.

I don't mind websites knowing my user-agent is fake. I mind websites having the ability to track me based on my user-agent. Thus my user-agent changes automatically.

Reply to comment by Wahaha in RockYou2021: largest password compilation of all time leaked online with 8.4 billion entries by Rambler

I assume they add passwords to the next list...

The key thing for cracking passwords is, at some point it is way faster to search every password anybody has ever thought of, than to search every password anyone possibly could think of.

Yes, an honest site would just let you look up in the index starting with any string of letters, so you didn't have to give away your password in the process. Therefore, this is not an honest site. Q.E.D.

Faster proof: It's a site, from a company, on a computer. Therefore it is spying on you and selling your information. Q.E.D.
