Zero sympathy for the phone zombies that saw a random code and decided to pursue it uncritically. Streamwise are pretty awesome trolls apparently.

You've been very busy talking to several of my puppet accounts.

I've been wanting to get an old book like this and go through the install process of some OG linux just for the learning experience.

It does make sense from the perspective of "destroy the public's perception of 'unsafe' USB storage so that we can push them to use our 'safe' cloud storage (on our terms) instead".

...with usbguard installed and configured with a default-deny policy.

You were on the right track with the HTPC. It just needs an appropriate input device. I recommend:

The best "TV remote" in the world.

Disallow corporate entities from owning residential property.

And tax the shit out of second (and third and beyond) home owners. If you don't reside there it is absolutely a luxury. Nobody on the face of this Earth needs more than one dwelling.

Not a bother at all! I have used uMatrix for several years now. It is no longer actively maintained, but has an absolutely unrivaled grid interface (hence Matrix) that comprehensively lays everything out into columns and rows.

Rows represent the different domains and subdomains that a webpage loads assets from.

Columns represent the different types of assets individually.

Sane, strict rules that can be set within the My rules page:

    
https-strict: * true
https-strict: behind-the-scene false
noscript-spoof: * true
referrer-spoof: * true
referrer-spoof: behind-the-scene false
no-workers: * true
* * * block
* 1st-party image allow

  

Or these can be set with the graphical matrix grid with global scope selected, then click on the lock icon to make it persistent.

What uMatrix does that uBlock Origin does not (or the authors refuse to integrate into uBlock Origin):

• Cookie handling. uMatrix is particularly intelligent about cookies in that it will still accept cookies from sites, but never release those cookies back out to web servers (when cookies are blocked).
• CSS handling. IIRC uBlock does have some rudimentary all-or-nothing css blocking but cannot do so granularly.
• An awesome, fast, easy to check at a quick glance visual interface.

Unfortunately, uMatrix has been left to bitrot, so I've been closely watching the development of xiMatrix which replicates the idea and extends it to also handle remote fonts and inline scripts. (But still needs further development before I can consider it a drop-in replacement IMO).

It can and does continue to grow. We do not delete content. There is a trove of old (not recently acquired) files on these drives that several members have not gotten around to yet.

I am currently trying to devise a system wherein these different drives can be synced across geographically distant locations. Like a bi-directional rsync system which doesn't remove extraneous files from the destination.

I don't have favorites. Just ones that suck the least.

Firefox does everything anyone needs to do. I don’t understand how some people struggle so much.

I've always wondered what it is that people are doing when they say that FF is too slow or inadequate in some way. But elsewhere in this thread to be found:

There’s only like one notable website I’ve had to use chromium for instead of Firefox.

The website for recalibrating a Google Pixel’s fingerprint sensor. I’ve had to use that website twice, and I just used Microsoft Edge to do it since I can’t uninstall it.

Absolutely wild.

I would use firefox, but youtube is basically unusable on it.

Also wild.

It loads fine for me without CSS or javascript.

Why would you ever want to allow the execution of
adobeDatalayer_bridge.js
adobe_analytics_bridge.js
globalstore_bridge.js
?
Good example of third party trash hiding behind first party domain.

There has been some back and forth between Goolag's countermeasures and Invidious' countermeasures before arriving at the current situation, Invidious seemingly having lost the battle.

From their git issue tracker:

Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore. (Some datacenter IPs may still work, but that's a matter of time until they don't anymore.) ... This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Capital punishment disproportionately affects males. Capital punishment is sexist.

The problem I've run into is versioning, determining which collection is most "ahead". We've had a large drive which was once used collectively by my family, but with everyone moving around it's been demoted to a more downstream status.

Debian just looking out for their users making sure they don't waste time playing vidya.

I've resigned myself to just pre planning longer routes to avoid tolls. I am not putting a transponder in my car and I am certainly not going pay for that privilege or to help normalize it.
