I generally do too. But then you’re also at the mercy of whether the site was designed with even the most basic of security in mind. Luckily the password managers all generate unique passwords so one site getting hacked and plaintext passwords stolen won’t get my bank info put at risk - but still.

Honestly I thought it was great when OAuth started making it easy to use my various pre-existing IDs as logins for websites. But now I cant remember which one is which and my password manager doesn’t give me any hints. Sigh.

4·3 months agoYou can pry sqlite out of my cold dead hands. Because I’ll probably die while using it out of frustration due to the poor performance of triggers.

en-US en-UK en-CA
all have slight variations in dialect. I don’t speak other languages but I imagine it is important in many cases.

Linux@programming.dev•Okay why is your distro the best?
1·3 months agoI’ve been using a debian based system for a dozen years. Then I decided to buy a NAS and turn it into a NixOS driven media server.
JFC I thought I knew linux and I was so wrong.

Now the real question - can you play old school platformers on it with split second precision that doesnt get interrupted by random shit on the OS? Even Nintendo’s SNES Classic was horseshit for games like Megaman. Or maybe I just suck now.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux Will Finally Be Able To Reboot Apple M1/M2 Macs With The v6.17 Kernel
8·5 months agoiirc the M line of chips is a superset of ARM instructions. So all programs compiled for aarch64 should be able to run but programs compiled for M chips probably won’t be able to run on aarch64 targets.

Ah yes, the astrological symbol of cancaurus.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?
3·6 months agoNo, not really. I just take an opt-in to js approach to the internet. It won’t perfectly hide me from databroker fingerprinting - but that’s hard to do unless you want to just use TOR for your everyday browser experience and that’s too paranoid for me.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?
9·6 months agoI’ve been using ublock origin for the longest time. Set it up in advanced mode and block all 3rd party domains by default. I know it can block individual line items during the js interpretation stage based on matches to plugins like anti-malware scripts. I tend to whitelist some domains I trust on all domains and I’ll even blacklist some domains I don’t ever trust on other domains (like facebook and anything with px in the name).
Ultimately - the more protection you put in place, the more likely you will stand out to fingerprinting. They don’t give a shit about user agent descriptions. They look at things like how does your browser render a semi-transparent pixel when aliased ontop of something else. What HTML5 Canvas features does your browser support. Attempt to run this list of scripts and see which ones fail. All of that helps make a non-unique print of your browser that hints at an identity even without your Windows Device ID.
