@amolithIt's a Cloudflare bug - but I'm not giving up on fingerprinting protection. Cloudflare benefits from fingerprinting users -who'da guessed?

@fitheachApart from recommending Anker for quality, I'd say that battery packs are heavy, so get one small enough that you're going to carry it around. Better a small pack in your bag than a large one at home on the shelf.

The school I teach at makes students install a certificate on their personal devices before they can connect to the WiFi, and bans VPNs, so we can filter and log their internet use. 'Think of the children' is the refrain, so we 'protect' them by normalising network snooping and the loss of privacy. This is dangerous --- we shouldn't demonise VPNs, but should teach them how to pick a good one, or how to operate the one their home router probably offers to those with the skills to set it up.1/2

@dsfgsThe CS curriculum I teach allows me to show the few kids in the class how to use ssh tunnels and VPNs, but the management aren't too keen. The crazy thing is that all the MiTMing going on doesn't make kids safer, as they have the devices to bypass it. It is all for ass-covering, so the school pats itself on the back for child protection done well, while kid remain uneducated on internet safety habits.@travis @icedquinn @NEETzsche@iddqd.social#securityTheatre

@icedquinnI've got #wWireguard running on the #RaspberryPi that hosts my #Gemini site, and my phone switches to it (#Tasker is solid) when I leave my home WiFi network. Great piece of software.@dsfgs @travis#securityTheatre

@_xhr_I really like the ability to add custom action buttons to Zim - every day I use Python scripts to extract and reformat data from multiple wiki pages, and having these integrated in the UI is really helpful.@fitheach

@thorIs it a tracking ad? If not, I don't have an issue with it. I watch TV channels with adverts, listen to podcasts with adverts. Ads-on-update seems like a low frequency imposition.@ieure @catgirl

@fitheachI am the poo flnging chimp in my workplace, hoping the managers will get a grip and turn off the fan. But they are so busy flinging their own they don't notice. (I'd leave, but I have to resign end of April to leave in September. Its tricky.)@dch

@fitheachSo doing 'a thing' on your own is organising an event? Sheesh - perhaps the international interest has had an effect. She'll still need to emigrate afterwards though, probably.

@fitheach I use Mull, after I broke Firefox by trying to modify the settings to make it more privacy oriented. Mull is a privacy hardened fork of Firefox.https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/

@fitheach Yeah, the permissions looks like a long list, but a browser needs to do a lot of stuff. (The 'Anti-feature' flags the upstream Firefox code, not necessarily the Mull code, which is likely to have those libraries removed.)

"The National Security Bill now going through the UK parliament could jail journalists who share leaks of official information. Please take a look at this open letter telling Priti Patel, the home secretary, to change the bill so media freedom is protected: "https://do.opendemocracy.net/journalistic-freedom#opendemocracy #nationalsecuritybill

@cyploLet's call it Gnu Imp, or just Imp, for goodness sake. Gimp is such a terrible name that it hinders adoption. It really needs a rebrand.@Gargron @rysiek
