for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏

oh gosh how is this the worst one /j

lmao

Beginning work on a full Minecraft server implementation; Other projects seem to be either frameworks (over full implementations) or relatively dead :(

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but using a 3rd party client or modifying the discord client is technically against the discord TOS. They don’t really enforce it unless you’re selfbotting or whatever, but there have been cases where people got banned from 3rd party clients because of a bug within the client that caused apparently bot-like behavior.

I’ve been learning rust for the sole purpose of implementing a Minecraft server from (nearly) scratch; I don’t want to use existing frameworks because I feel that building it from the ground up will provide more opportunities for optimization, maybe compatibility with existing Java-based plugins (maybe possible via JNI or J4RS?), and also as a learning experience for project management :)

maybe not easily producible, but RTGs almost fit the bill

Is it possible for devices to ask the pihole without doh, and the pi-hole to forward the request with doh if the domain isn’t in the cache?

The other user didn’t answer your question fully, but heuristic algorithms are very good for this purpose! if you’re able to identify some specific things in players behavior that only occur when they are cheating, you can easily create a machine learning system to identify that behavior, incorporating things like batch punishment (such as VAC or Hypixel’s Watchdog) to make it more difficult for cheat devs to identify the reason, or a manually-reviewed appeal process to account for errors in the model.

I suppose you’re right, but forging that kind of thing would be difficult, also considering the PKI already in place. If someone has their own email server and they sign/encrypt their email, and host their public key on a key server somewhere, it’s highly unlikely that all three would be compromised. and even if that fails, you could just meet up with them and exchange flash drives with keys.

What’s stopping someone from just sending public keys or something through Signal and encrypting their messages that way? There’s no way to enforce this with such simple loopholes present. We shouldn’t be focusing on breaking privacy and instead invest in helping existing victims in ways that actually matter.

What did discord do? their privacy policy is pretty airtight, but please elaborate!

The brown recreation road signs (USA) which have extremely vibrant logos for random water/amusement parks on them.

Is this fixed if using the iOS 17 Beta?

What do you believe are the best practices to protect ones privacy would be, regardless of complexity (something extremely effective, but not necessarily easy to set up/use)?

I’ve degoogled my desktop/laptop nearly completely, but are there any risks or downsides to using iOS/Apple’s default apps?
