That’s what cheese glue sticks are for!

They are usually separate things. Cookies are produced/saved locally, to be read in the next visit (by the same website or maany websites basically forever unless you use firefox containers or at least clear them once in a while). There’s also local storage which is different but can also be used to identify you across the web. Ads, trackers, all of these categories are often made of many small components: you read a single article on a “modern” newspaper website, hundreds of connection are being made, different tiny scripts or icons or images are being downloaded (usually from different subdomains for different purposes but there’s no hard rule). It’s possible to block one thing and not another. For example I can block Google Analytics (googletagmanager) which is a tracker, but accept all of Google’s cookies.

Or lock me out when I just had an accident in the yard

Most people give their real full name, phone number and email for any loyalty card wothout batting an eye, plus even with anonymized data it’s useful to the owners to track correlation of purchases, time, location. Definitively what you said too, we all make mistakes (some more than others), every needless complication of a system is a disadvantage to the customer.

There are free services that allow you to create countless emails, one per site is ideal, just like one (different) password per site. Addy and Simplelogin have a generous free tier, last I checked the first one allows for unlimited receive-only addresses (when shopping it’s very rare you need to respond), the second gives you some two-way addresses.

If you get a domain, many registrars include free mail service, and have mail forwarding, or “redirecting”, which basically will allow you to create countless addresses (that can also send/respond) for your one account (You add these “email forwards”, or “Identities”, to your app of choice, like K9-Mail for android). You don’t necessarily need to buy their separate email package (although the interface might be more convenient). I’ll give you one example which includes email: OVHcloud, one of the largest clouds in europe.

If you can afford it there are all-in-one services like Soverin with easier interface.

It might be wise to start a slow process of migrating (or maybe deleting and creating again) accounts, and saving all this stuff in a password manager (like KeepassXC) if you aren’t already.

There are many encodes floating around and even a full bluray copy (criterion collection) on ygg.re… but I’m curious, how come it’s at the top of your list?

I would disable Network Access at least, if you’ve never done it go to App Info (holding the app’s icon) -> Mobile Data Usage -> Allow Network Access (at least it’s there now in A14 / LOS 21, could be slightly different in other versions)

Btw Plasma 6 is glorious. First time Wayland “just works” without me noticing too.

Recently wanted to try KDE 6 on my second laptop and after being pissed off at the lack of encryption with Void installer (gotta do it manually, have done it in the past but I’m lazy), another fail with NixOs (known bug with encryption in the latest stable installer) the easiest way was installing Arch lol.

I used archinstall as suggested, just answer questions, no manual voodoo incantation required. You can do it.

croc is great, works even when devices cant find each other on the network, or with gigantic folders (I use it between computers).

Or Simplex chat, I dont use it to chat but only to quickly share between phone and laptop :)

A lazy option to set up a player (what I do a t least), is installing via flatpak Jellyfin Media Player. For android, installing from F-droid.

Very well written…this reminded me of Astro City.

Other than cleaning the vents, I would also see if any problem come up with a few passes of Memtest, and with a linux live system (I suggest Ventoy if you don’t have one ready, you install it once on a usb pen drive and from there on you only drag and drop the .iso files)

Aye

Oh you’re right, I looked again and found the releases page on github, they have windows, macos (also aarch64), ubuntu, and Appimage for everybody else (x86 tho yeah)

Yeah, in this case quantity makes the poison (mycotoxins can be on so many foods, we don’t go lab-testing every bite), and all the people saying the mould root system is already soo deep are overly paranoid, those fungi started from the outside you are definitely cutting most of it just by using your eyes and cutting with a tiny safety margin.

That’s a great usage, I’ll definitely try that! Plus it’s seems actually usable by average Joes for quickly starting a private chat. Hopefully they’ll start packaging the CLI version for linux distros (idk why but I prefer downloading a package to using an install script), also I saw that simplex will release a desktop version of the app

Hey thanks for this suggestion, you motivated me to look into simplex a bit more than just lazily downloading it on my phone

Hey, at least installing a foss browser won’t slow down your phone like a spyware app, you could always try something like Mull even for only a portion of your browsing if you have ~80MB to spare. I suggest it because I hate some of that extra bullshit that comes with standard Firefox. Also there’s tons of projects that try similar stuff with Chromium! Like Mulch. Way better defaults than Chrome
