Can we just have good parents that care about their kids and know how the internet really is outside of the big tech bubble?

Is Cromite on Android a viable alternative to Firefox based browsers? Any Experience? in c/[email protected]

I use it every day and I never had problems with it. It's pretty OK.but I would like to have something more powerful like Unblock Origin which is available on Firefox for android but the performance is not that good and I didn't like how it worked

Is there a downside to using Tailscale when it comes to privacy? in c/[email protected]

[–] Fijxu 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not a response, but I used to use taikscale with my own headscale server without problems but for some reason it just started to fail (I didn't even updated tailscake nor headscake at all) and the speeds with direct connection were some unbelievable 0.00Mbps over direct connection.

I searched for another MeshVPN and I found something called NetMaker, you can Selfhosted it too and it works really well. The speed is better than Taikscale too because it uses kernel wireguard instead of user space. They still lack some features like an Android client but I don't care. I just want to connect servers securely. It's pretty new software so it can have some bugs.

Changing the IP constantly is not going to prevent tracking on modern websites. They all use other methods to identify you like browser fingerprint and other ways to fingerprint you.

I don't know why VPN providers promote themselves as like they are going to make your connection more private, everything is already encrypted (except DNS). You are just shifting the trust from your ISP to the people that run the VPN.

If you are in a country with a high rate of censorship or you just want to circumvent geo blocking, using a VPN is worth, otherwise, a VPN is just a way to change your IP address which, is not going to prevent any tracking.

The real history behind the Lunix operating system (self.programmer_humor)

submitted 5 months ago by Fijxu to c/programmer_humor

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the 'mp3' program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as 'telnet', which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
