I can’t remember for sure but I think it’s common knowledge that lemmy.world blocks VPNs. Just switch to an instance that doesn’t.

Seriously, I am so sick of IPv4 still being “default.”

Even worse, don’t use the suggested Samba, NFS without a tunnel either! You should probably have the default ports blocked at the router.

I get the same confusion when I prove someone wrong using a universal curl example. The same guy that parses JSON by hand (rather than use a library) can’t remember how to fucking use curl.

Surprised no one just said Samba or NFS over a tunnel (Tailscale, WireGuard, etc).

Or by “sharing” do you mean keeping files synced between the two for replication?

I’m still pretty sure the meme is a joke. Ever heard of context clues?

Car brainrot [sic] is real

I’m pretty sure the meme is a joke.

My area in Los Angeles used to have several rail lines nearby along with pedestrian tunnels (called “sub-ways” at the time) all over the place. I like looking at old photos from those times and marvel at how much more pedestrian friendly it all used to be.

Sorry but that’s totally wrong.

The entire point is that if it’s unique it can be considered a fingerprint — in fact the entire reason it’s called “fingerprint” is that in theory it’s unique like a real fingerprint.

If it’s common then it’s unreliable as a fingerprint because it’s no longer unique. Therefore whether it’s unique or not is the entire point and relevant to the topic.

I imagine it’s somewhere between what both of you are saying.

I imagine “randomized” means a random common “fingerprint” (with parameters like user agent, language, etc) rather than just a unique set of randomized parameters (say, time zone in US but language set to Farsi which would be unique to an extent).

From their domain that I’ve already blocked with DNS? Or are you talking about first-party scripts calling Google (which I’ve also seen though much more rare)?

In any case I block those too.

Right, that’s why I mentioned all the blocking at the DNS and browser extension level — most fingerprinting is being done by third-parties — I generally don’t see first parties fingerprinting but if they do it’s likely a website I chose to be on rather than some shady <script> from God knows where.

My thinking is that most of the fingerprinting is happening by third parties, and where it’s the website operators themselves I’m not super concerned about being fingerprinted.

I’m here with multi-hop VPN with the first two hops staying in-country and the rest all random + a shit load of DNS blocking lists and browser extensions + blocking Google. I use different VPN providers too. I’m also introducing variable delays to my traffic to make NetFilter data less helpful.

And remember: this won’t work with “hidden” SSIDs.

From what I recall hidden SSIDs will always be used for location services.

I think it’s valid to call out this behavior as sick because frankly, it is. I’m not sure what makes you think it’s right to torture wildlife like this.

I hate Microsoft with all my heart but I think it’s smart to have some sort of general computer skills.

I grew up having to take keyboarding and learning about office software (Apple’s suite at the time but later Office in community college).

From what I hear the kids can’t even type, never mind actually navigate a filesystem or troubleshooting basic issues.

Why wouldn’t you just try other recipes? I wouldn’t want to go back to the garbage I ate as a meat eater anyway; there is so much variety out there that doesn’t depend on eating animals.

Yes, I use Tailscale but WireGuard is another great option that’s simpler for more tech-savvy people.
