Right, I understand.

There are browsers that implement a lot of Tor Browser’s anti-fingerprinting features, such as LibreWolf.

The problem is that if you’re connecting to a site from an unique IP address then you’re still uniquely identifiable regardless of how much your browser resists fingerprinting measures. If you have a dynamic IP address, information can still be derived from this to build an approximate profile for you (location, language, possible interests, statistically likely demographic bands etc.). It’s surprising how accurate these can get.

The strength of the anti-fingerprinting features in Tor browser is really an additional protection on top of the main anonymisation feature: the routing. Everyone using the Tor browser and routing appears (kind of) the same to a site.

Connecting through a VPN provider is a half-way measure, but still won’t be as good as Tor. To a site or tracker you’ll appear as one of a smaller set of people connecting from that VPN where your browser fingerprint is different from others in the pool of people connecting via that VPN. That may not be enough to personally identify you, but it’s enough to build a fairly well-targeted profile of you.

So tl;dr: anti-fingerprinting browser features are really cool and technically clever, but they don’t protect against all the ways you can be profiled. And somewhat counter-intuitively, using only browser-level de-anonymisation features could actually make you appear more unique to sites or trackers, because you’ll be one of relatively few people with that combination of browser and network connection profile.

Nice monstera!

A big part of the anonymisation of Tor is from the routing, so I’m doubtful that just using their Firefox customizations would be enough.

Using Tor Browser with default settings is probably the least time consuming way of reducing a site’s ability to uniquely identify you.

Following your advice and that of others on this post, I’ve changed the soil again and made sure I’ve removed all the existing waterlogged soil from the roots. Some of the roots came away when I was removing the soil, but the rest felt healthy and there wasn’t any sign or smell of rot. I’ve repotted with new soil and some stones/pebbles at the botton of the pot to allow for some better drainage.

Finally I’ve positioned the plant somewhere it’ll get more sunlight, so I’ll wait and hope for the best.

Owner told me “there’s no such thing as a house plant”, only plants we keep indoors.

This feels so nakedly obvious now I’ve thought about it 🤦🏻

No, thanks for that advice though! I’ve checked very closely and haven’t found anything like that. A friend has pointed out it might be root rot, so I’m going to repot it tomorrow and trim any mushy root I find.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll leave it alone and hope we get some more sunlight.

Yeah that sounds like the best solution.

Just FYI some banking apps don’t work on GrapheneOS (ones that check for strict SafetyNet support I think).

As I understand it, the banking apps should benefit most from the default sandboxing in GrapheneOS. I’m not sure there’s much benefit in further separation of them is there?

You know, I love those albums where they fucked around did things like hard-pan all the drums to the right channel. I’m here for the experimentation.

Saaame

I’d second this suggestion, I’ve used borg with rsync.net for the past 4 years and it’s been great.

My go-to *sonic/navidrome client on Android is Symfonium. It’s not free but it’s well-maintained and has all the features I need (smart playlists, artist radio, gapless playback and replaygain).

Nextcloud (either self-hosted, or via a provider) offers a photo gallery option.

Glad you enjoyed them ☺️

Sure! Here are a few good example albums of the genre

• Silver by Jesu
• Coma Waering by The Angelic Process
• A Dead and Aimless Hum by shedfromthebody

It’s always worth reminding them that they still need to fuck off
