Do these things correlate that much tho? Not to toot my own horn, but I am fairly tech-proficient and have terrible typing skills. My technique is somewhere in between hunt-and-peck and touch-typing, despite regular typing lessons in elementary school. I imagine a lot of other people are like this, and vice-versa as well.

yes, it’s that.

Does anyone have this picture without the text? Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty funny with the toot, but I feel like it would also be funny without.

You can lock your password database with a key file (this is a standard feature in keepassxc) and transfer the key file once between devices via sneakernet (microsd or usb drive). That way even if someone intercepts your database file, AND knows your password, it is still virtually impossible to crack. Should be a good enough solution, unless you are quantum-tier paranoid

Marginally better than using discord itself as your password manager (also a true story!)

If you’re on Linux and you like minimalism, pass is also a great option

I mean he’s not wrong about paper being more secure than password manager (provided you have good physical security and trust the people you live with)

Clean and simple

In your browser

What?

Okay, I just tested Tor on windows, and it shows a bunch of microsoft fonts that my linux box doesn’t have.

But what I did notice is that the fingerprint changed on my linux box after a full restart of tor browser. So I guess their approach is to randomize fingerprints between sessions, rather then to keep everyone’s fingerprint the same?

how much of the internet is unusable with js disabled

Quite a lot actually. A lot of articles / blogs / news sites are actually more usable without javascript than with, because none of the annoying popups and shit can load. I suggest having two browser profiles: one with javascript enabled by default, and one with javascript disabled. So for things like online shopping, you’d open the js profile. And for things where you expect to do a lot of reading, use the nojs profile. Ublock origin also lets you temporarily enable/disable js for a particular website pretty easily.

This is what I though as well, but brave on stock windows doesn’t show any noto fonts. Haven’t tested tor browser on windows yet tho, so idk

I’m running Brave and Librewolf from flatpak. Nope, it doesn’t help, at least with default sandbox settings.

I’m slowly starting to agree with @ssm that safeguarding against fingerprinting is an exercise in futility though…QubesOS sounds like something that might help though, since it makes it easy to browse from a virtual machine with fonts and other settings that may be leaked set to the most bog-standard defaults.

On a related note, disabling javascript can actually improve your user experience quite a lot for certain types of tasks. A lot of news/blogs/article-style websites nowadays are actually more usable without javascript, because you don’t have to waste time closing all of the ads and cookie popups. I have a separate browser profile with js disabled and use it quite a lot.

Ah, makes sense, thanks.

Isn’t that also more or less the case with X11? From what I understand, if you try to use bare Xorg without any extensions like Xfixes and Xdamage, it’s pretty miserable

I’m more of a w3m guy myself

What do you mean by “handles multiple monitors poorly”? Is it something to do with scaling? The only issue I’ve encountered under X11 related to multihead is the inability to set different subpixel geometries for different monitors, but iirc wayland doesn’t let you do that either? Just curious what your usecase is

At first I though this was just a regular shitpost but then I saw the screen tear edit lol

On a more serious note, is there a way to actually fix screen tearing under x11? I’ve always thought a compositing manager like xcompmgr would do it, but for me it only makes it worse?

Perplexity.ai is also pretty nice. As far as I understand, it’s just some version of chatgpt but with the ability to search the web.

I don’t know shit about fuck, but you explanation seems correct.

I do remember hearing that precisely because of the limitations of vinyl compared to CD, music is mastered differently for each medium. So the CD master of a certain song might be more compressed (dynamic compression, not digital compression) to make it sound “louder”, while the vinyl release has a wider dynamic range. So some people might prefer the vinyl version because it actually does sound different to the CD version.

Keep in mind tho, I might be spreading misinformation here.
