The EFF provides pretty sound advice, see the 2nd link in my initial comment.

One way of helping would be to tell people how to mitigate it. Telling them it’s impossible does the exact opposite.

Gotta love a call for contribution that makes you want to paint your face blue and attack Adobe with a sword lmao

They say it here, but I disagree. Fingerprinting is difficult to prevent but not impossible. Same thing as with malware: You’ll never be 100% protected from malware, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take precautions against it, does it?

Here’s one way of testing how unique your fingerprint is.

Booting a live USB and reinstalling GRUB as follows has saved my butt in the past. Obviously replace the /dev/sdXY paths with your own. Further adjustments might be needed depending on your system.

# mount root partition:
sudo mount /dev/sdXY2 /mnt
# mount boot partition (if there is any)
sudo mount /dev/sdXY3 /mnt/boot
# mount efi partition (if there is any)
sudo mount /dev/sdXY1 /mnt/boot/efi
# mount other partitions:
for dir in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /run; do sudo mount --bind $dir /mnt$dir; done  
# chroot into mounted system:
sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash -i 
# reinstall grub:
grub-install 
# rebuild grub.cfg:
update-grub 
# rebuild initramfs (not sure if necessary):
update-initramfs -u
# sync, exit chroot, reboot:
sync
exit
sudo reboot

Welcome to Lemmy :), you’ll fit right in lmao

Nice specs, nice setup. You might want to add another rainbow sticker or two, just in case :p

Using an officially supported secondary app store and calling it a Play Integrity bypass seems like a bit of a stretch.

Never heard of iodéOS. At first glance it looks like they take LineageOS for microG, bloat it with some random apps, and expect us to pay them for adblocking. Am I missing something?

Windows 7 hasn’t received security updates for ages. Your machine is probably part of seven bot nets.

Only a matter of time until it demands for Windows to be installed

mdadm --stop /dev/mdX should at least tell you whether or not mdadm is causing the spinning.

Is there anything similiar for non-mobile?
