  • YSK: Reddit webpage has unblockable trackers, even with Ublock Origin installed

    Jump

  • Indeed, it'll work, you just won't be able to interact, upvote/downvote, join subreddits or comment etc....

    If you'll not interact at all better to use RedLib (private frontend red.artemislena.eu), I think they'll hide even your IP address (not sure tho).

  • Day 456 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • What a game!!! I played it back on PS3, almost did 100%, I remember I missed some animal I couldn't get it to spawn no matter what.

    I'll play it again soon.

  • Add this:

    www.reddit.com/api/*

    It must explicit start with www.reddit or all the old reddit won't work.

    You should see this when you open your Network tabs of DevTools (F12)

    The first one has no effect if you're using old.reddit.com

  • Pasting my other comment here:

    They can't, the information you get server-side is limited compared to client-side. They might know what sub I follow and where I like to interact, but that's not enough compared to sending constant information of everything you do. If it was enough, they wouldn't need to track people client-side, right?

  • Yes, that's what I told uBO team when I opened a discussion on their sub, they said they tried it but some functions like chat stopped working properly.

    I'd try it myself but I think I really don't care that much anymore, let it just die already.

  • Yes, redlib do the job if you want to be completely anonymous, same as Invidious.

  • They can fingerprint you and trace a profile about your personality, this can be used for a lot of things.

    Imagine if they know exactly what are your tastes, you don't see ads, ok, you were able to block every unwanted visual interference. But imagine a new platform appears, you access it and by your IP, e-mail, phone number or even nickname they know it's you before you registering there.

    Reddit sell all your data for this new platform, the new platform can show you some sweet content that matches exactly you taste, you'll think "this is awesome, everything I like is here", it'll make you access it more often, contribute to it, later they add paywalls, mandatory ads, then you know... You've being manipulated already. You can't live without it and will be force to accept their terms.

  • Same, pretty sure they'll completely shut down old reddit soon.

  • It seems you can't block this request, I tested using mitm proxy, you can stop requests being made, so when you do it, the Reddit home page stop loading, if I resume but discard the request (same thing as blocking), the page doesn't load anymore.

    Back when I noticed this, I asked on uBO origin subreddit, and the uBO Team told me there's nothing they can do, they tried and all attempts broke the site, that's why I said this tracker is unblockable.

    I suggested them to intercept the request, change the parameters with fake ones, then proceed, so it's sending a wrong info in the tracker, they said they tried it already but didn't work.

  • My point is, when you open both browsers without any extension you can see the HTTP requests in the Devtools > Network page, so it isn't related to uBO, for some reason I can't see this specific request on Firefox, but I can see in Chromium based.

    I know that this request is happening in Firefox because I tested with a MITM Proxy, so I can see all my network traffic, I noticed the request is being made but Firefox DevTools doesn't show it for some reason.

    I tested without uBO installed of course, but anyway, requests blocked by uBO are shown in red with "Blocked by uBO" in the "Transferred" column.

  • GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels, and it may never look back

    Jump

  • I doesn't matter, they're supporting Google, they should do the best they can for more variety of models, even if it means not being "ultra super highly extreme private".

  • Let's congrats Graphene team for supporting the Google hardware for so long, they surely helped Google profit a lot given people buying Pixel just to use Graphene.

  • What are your suggestions and techniques for studying effectively?

    Jump

  • You first need to learn the very basics concept of what you're trying to learn, sometimes you're jumping straight to subjects that won't ever make sense to you unless you memorize it.

    This is the problem with most of people, they learn a lot of stuff, but not the very basics, because they think it won't be necessary.

    I can only learn if I understand the how and why something is as it is.

    For example: Why is 1 + 1 equals 2? Who said it's equals 2? Is it really equals 2? Or maybe we all just agree that it's equals 2 so we can talk the same language in numbers? Why do we need to know that 1 + 1 is equals 2?

    This kind of very basics I mean, you need to find a purpose on what you're learning and bring it to practice.

  • Windows 10 End Of Life - Your Story

    Jump

  • I'm still using Windows on dual-boot with Arch because of games, that's the only reason. I've Windows 10 LTSC IoT, which is the most debloated version available, plus I ran a debloater script, so the OS is basically raw now, no Microsoft account linked.

    Unfortunately Windows still gets more performance, at least on my experience, I've a Laptop 16GB RAM, Hybrid GPU (GeForce 1650 4VRAM + AMD).

    I'm still not prepared to give up from this little extra performance just to switch to Linux, it really makes a difference, and I pass the whole day dealing with Linux so at the end of the day I just want to boot into something that just works without major tweaks.

    I know it's not Linux fault, but most games are made to run better on Windows. If and when W10 become unusable, I'll switch to 100% Linux without any doubt, it's my last Windows.

  • Reddit is a living-dead platform, I always have the feeling that most posts there are made by bots.

  • I downloaded local Llama Uncensored and it easily teaches me how to make a home made bomb, suicide methods etc...

    This isn't news anymore, anyone can have access to such things.

  • For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?

    Jump

  • I'd say given the AMD contributions to Linux better to support them with your money instead of NVIDIA.
