Really? I’ve been on Waterfox for months at work, home, and mobile without issue. However, I don’t watch videos online, game in browser, nor have any social media.

I should stick to Firefox forks like Waterfox, Librewolf, or Ironfox. I think Vivaldi has gone the way of Chromium as have many others.

Extensions you can run are Privacy Badger (EFF) and Port Authority.

OK, thank you.

Thank you for the more detailed explanation of use and practice. That does help! Gives a little more piece of mind too.

Gotcha. OK so maybe a little less applicable to some more than others.

I already use mostly unique passwords (like a random root word(s) with varying numbers and special characters mixed in) for accounts, and only have my mfa app allowed, not email or SMS. My PW & MFA apps have unique PINs. I also have multiple email aliases for those varying accounts and rotate through after they’re sold every so often. Helps cut down on spam A LOT vs manually unsubscribing. Retail sites are especially guilty of selling info IMO.

Mine might be slightly overkill, and maybe less necessary with passkeys, but I’ll wait until there are goods self-hosted apps for that.

How is passkey better than PW + MFA? Serious question. Everywhere I read online tells me “it’s better” but doesn’t get into the nitty gritty. Also, I don’t use biometrics of face scans on any device.

Edit: I should add, doesn’t this make online less anonymous/private? Once a site or browser is uniquely identified, couldn’t that be used for better fingerprinting across other sites, hindering anonymity? I feel like data is still going to be extracted or gathered.

Aren’t they also stored via cookies? What if your authenticated session is stolen via cookies, what then?

Same. Paid Proton and Voyager, and no bueno 😭

Already have https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglasses

How would this app be an improvement or any better? Sometimes I feel people clone app repos, tweak 1 or 2 things and call it a whole new app.

They’re usually a lot more trustworthy, better community contributions, and better ratios to help others, hence the seeding requirement. It’s a sort of accountability to sharing. There are also those who abuse the rules…

A few smaller sites are a bit goofy, I’ll agree, but at least 2 bigger ones are non issues.

Outlook gives you aliases, but obviously we’re not trying to use big bro tech.

Proton paid does this as does free with limited aliases.

Then there’s SimpleLogin (also through Proton) that gives you a bunch of domains to use with several other domains. The only service that rejected the alias domain was Github, but it’s trash and owned by MS so nbd.

Be sure you use a good front end or UI like NAPS2

Do people not know about Quad9? DoH & Quic

I use Waterfox which forgets all data on exit, with Privacy Badger and Port Authority extensions with no exclusions.

So far, no sites really “break”, if anything, they’re a little quicker… reading mode is nice to get passed paywall popups on most sites that want a subscribe.

If at work, I include the company-provided password manager for all my sites I need. Still works well (unless my post gets attention and companies try to break it)

We’re in the Midwest too, so I feel your pain with the winds and weather. I’m close to Chicago and we’ve taken a beating lately.

Dang! That’s all good info thank you! I wonder if 2 could be combined lol. Or at least lined up on a row. We had the dome shape tunnel with the plastic cover that was 10x20, but again it couldn’t stand up to wind, long term. Hail, however, was great because the plastic tarp had give.

How much? How big? Where from?

We’re windy by us and have gone through several aluminum and steel tube cheepy greenhouses because they eventually collapse. My wife would love this!

Can you mark Flock cameras? I think I saw someone post that before.

Annke is Hikvision hardware, but direct to consumer, can be viewed directly over IP address over a multitude of apps (including FOSS) or webpage, can directly record to micro SD card so no online cloud or NVR needed. You can configure remote viewing over dynamic domain too.

THEY OFFER UHD/4K/8MP cameras with color night vision even that’s insanely clear.

The downside is they’re typically meant for 10ft+viewing distance. They do offer a special bird feeder camera with a solar panel+battery, but it’s cheaper plastic model. The birds love it though!

Wouldn’t surprise me. It’s a good thing the attic at work is a graveyard of old servers and PCs…I might rehome some

Feels like a class action waiting to happen… However, it’d likely only result in a slap-on-the-wrist fines and no action taken.
