key management is lot harder. signal does not support multi-clients for a reason, you can look at the history of matrix with encryption to find out what are the problem is. I'm not sure they even fixed or just know of all the failure modes of it.
is there somewhere a list of ActivityPub server software that supports events? a very useful thing, but I think only mobilizon and friendica supports it, both of which are buggy, and otherwise not as easy to recommend as lemmy or mastodon.
they probably mean, 8 trackers loaded in the frontend. hundreds are still possible by selling backend collected data, they just don't get direct access.
Prometheus is mostly for regularly collected statistics and state. what would you recommend for statistics that are only collected when something happens? stats that aren't available on schedule. as an example, take UPS state changes to battery mode or overvoltage mode. Prometheus can't collect them when they are short lived.
To make a stick of RAM spyware, would cost $100k/stick or more,
how the fuck did you pull that number out of your ass?
the smallest, simplest embedded CPUs built onto the stick and wired in could do a lot. even if they can't handle the operating memory frequency, they could access contents through another channel, and also the memory bus.
Considering I'm not being tracked in any noticeable way
lol. can you give me a few examples when tracking is noticeable? because I don't know any, other than when sites show me consent prompts and privacy policies with obvious lies.
How is me trying to understand the impact of the mechanisms used by uBO vs those used by, say, Ghostery, "arguing in bad faith? WTF are you talking about?
how? you do not seem to be trying to understand this.
Because I get the technical details
you are wrong. you do not get the technical details. Otherwise you would not be saying stupid things like "I'm not being tracked in any noticeable way".
So it's not a privacy issue, it's an ad issue. Which doesn't show, it's blocked.
I don't understand what did you intend to respond to with this. as filtering instructions get more out of date, the addon's privacy protections will also fail.
What does uBO do different here?
on youtube? if you fire up firefox, install uBO, ocannote uBO logger and open a youtube video page, you'll see what it does. I don't know what it does different because I don't happen to have an itemized list of what does uBO lite do, but I suppose it has a logger function too, and you can compare it.
uBO mostly protects against tracking here. automatically selects no in the google data sharing dialogue, employs lots of scriptlets (documented on the wiki) to set variables used by youtube, to unfuck youtube in other technical ways, and to block behaviors it shouldn't even think about doing (why does it need a scriptlet that blocks writing the clipboard??), blocks ad video segments, hides annoying things from the UI because I have lists enabled that do that.
but there is something I can confidently say it does differently: it always works from up to date, detailed filterlists. lite cannot do that.
Just FYI - that only happens to me on YouTube every once in a while. Like, three times this year for a day or two.
so far releases go public within a day, but don't think that will go so smoothly when google gets the urge again to fuck up ad blockers, and addon uodate review suddenly takes days to weeks, or they find some idiotic non-existent problem as the play store team loves to do with open source apps.
I am already using a custom rom that is somewhat similar, but there are a dozen of unique features in graphene and nothing else that I have listed in another comment in this thread.
initially the founder had issues with an old project member, who founded copperhead os, a competing rom. allegedly he took all the code from graphene for use in copperhead, without attribution, and it even involved money some way. these two were suing each other for a long time, there was brigading in chat rooms and forums and whatnot. then somehow the rage extended to other projects too, like f-droid and calyx os, which they also accused of brigading and more, so that anyone mentioning calyx os in graphene rooms gets banned from there on sight.
I don't have enough information to be certain about which projects were actually hostile to graphene and which not, but people have been calling the graphene founder paranoid for thinking everyone wants to destroy their project. the founder was writing a lot on twitter and other places, mostly (but not only) with tye official graohene os account. he stepped down from being the project leader a year or two ago.
"but you don't have an expectation of privacy! no!! you don't have and you shouldn't!!!! 😡😥"
