2024 Suzuki Swift.

You even need to dial in the date and time manually because there’s no GPS either.

I didn’t tell ChatGPT who I am. I have a separate email address for it and everything.

Just keep in back of mind how everything is being linked and profiled behind the scenes. Without anything else, all they have to link you to other things is an IP address and an email. IP addresses aren’t terribly reliable these days. There may be supercookie/fingerprinting mischief going on though.

Even if a relative has shared their DNA, it can be used to make some fairly safe assumptions about yours.

My car’s computer doesn’t transmit. It doesn’t log anything more than engine fault codes. That’s how I like it.

I would have assumed the hosts file got cached, indexed and re-read if the file changes. Surely it’s not read and parsed for every single hostname lookup.

My adblock list is in BIND9 anyway, so I don’t get this issue. I can see it definitely takes a second or two to parse the whole list on startup.

The photoshop page doesn’t even have a download link.

0/10 would not download.

This is what I did. Flashed OpenWRT on all devices and enabled the 802.11r stuff. My “mesh” is just multiple APs connected by ethernet and fast BSSID handover.

802.11s is a mesh where it’s all done over Wifi. 802.11r uses ethernet for comms between APs.

It feels like I spend 15 hours waking up.

I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.

I just went on Youtube and watched the real song that was posted 15 years ago.

The comments are flooded with “RIP Rick Buckler” (drummer) from 15 days ago.

Now I’m ruined.

I first visited London only a few months after this came out. It was stuck in my head the moment I got on the platform at Heathrow.

It would produce something completely different every time.

You either need to be indistinguishable from everyone else, or indistinguishable from your last page load.

Just randomly inserting fake fonts, changing your screen resolution by a few pixels, changing the variant of English between US, Canada, UK and Australia. Rendering text and images with unnoticeable random dither in the subpixel hinting. That sort of stuff.

Microg pairs best with LineageOS. I’ve done both and I prefer the GrapheneOS sandbox. It actually passes safetynet at the moment.

Just don’t expect RCS messages or NFC payments to work on either.

I’ve configured my home wifi to capture all DNS regardless of its intended recipient. It’s unencrypted so it’s possible.

I also use encrypted DNS on my phone.

Well… shit. My company just sold my department to another company. The phrase they use in the office is “a Microsoft shop”. We’re talking Windows, Teams, Azure and O365.

The transition is going to be shit. After the transition is over, it will be shit.

I might just operate my workflow entirely out of WSL2 out of spite.

They can’t do that - GM Holden had the SS since ever.

In your network settings did you set the private DNS server to “https://sky.rethinkdns.com/”?

DoT doesn’t work on my company network, but DoH is indistinguishable from other HTTPS net traffic.

I don’t even use it. Once I got SPF/SSL/DKIM/DMARC working, there was less spam than what I get on gmail.

You don’t engage with them. Don’t file complaints. You don’t publicly announce your hate for them on social media. Don’t “build up to it” with petty crimes.

You keep your nose clean. Go to school. Get a job. Keep your invasive thoughts to yourself. Live a normal life.

Then one day, you can execute a CEO in the street and nobody will be around to stop you. Go straight to a 5-star wanted level and run.

We need email. It’s one of the few protocols that are 100% in the user’s control. I run my own mail server. I can’t do the same for whatsapp.

We’ve added a lot of checks to email (SSL, DKIM, DMARC, SPF) so it’s very easy to identify spam these days. It’s also easy to avoid giving any two companies the same email address. That’s something much harder to avoid with a phone number.

For 2FA, per-account email addresses and authenticor apps are the best approach for privacy.

Australia has a “do not call register”. It seems to mostly work, but telcos are having trouble with calls originating from outside the network with spoofed caller ID. We still get spam/scam calls from India among other places.

Even if they’re not calling you directly, they are still using your phone number to link you to things and create a shadow profile behind the scenes.
