Though on the other hand giving fake info will make you look more unique and trackable.
will it if it’s not obvious? how?

I have a few hundred public torrents active, and they all have peers, even the “fringe” ones. maybe your statistics is right, but even then it has value. I don’t care about leechers if it improves the service for us too
thanks Microsoft for hiding extensions by default!
and over public DHT. we can share magnet links in this community, and why keep it to us only? if we keep it public, the survivability of torrents can even improve
run sudo ss -tulpn
, and have a look at the processes and their privileges listening for incoming connections. If one of them has a vulnerability, through which a third party can make that software do things it was not intended for… that’s pretty bad.
This can most easily happen with software whose developers are underresouced/careless/stubborn.
A recent case of that happening: https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/
Tl;Dr, remote code execution vulnerability in software that most often runs as root, automatically.
I was listening to it a few weeks ago, but vaguely there are auditing companies in the Netherlands that need to verify companies above a certain size whether they are handling their money properly. As I understand it includes tax accounting.
These auditing companies don’t like cryptocurrencies. There are several of these that don’t agree to audit Proton even because they are accepting Bitcoin, but none of the remaining would accept it if they were also accepting a second cryptocurrency.
Now that I think of it, it might have actually been the reason they don’t accept Monero as a payment? In that case, the reason for Proton Wallet being bitcoin only has something to do with another wallet’s developers having been jailed recently for handling multiple cryptocurrencies.
I recommend you to listen to it though, if you understand english speech. There were interesting topics (and Opt Out generally has interesting episodes).
This episode is 54 minutes, audio only. You can find it here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1790481/15505787-proton-wallet-w-andy-yen.mp3.
Technically it works, but they are doing something that makes them bug away when resumed. It is not rare that this is related to graphics
I don’t have a firewall on my desktop or laptop
you are brave to use your laptop that way. or is it used as a stationary device?
but yes it is useful at home if you live with people who you don’t trust to be managing their computer safely
I think it’s fine to start with UFW on a desktop system at home to learn the very basics and get an idea on what ports you actually need. learning iptables/nftables is useful, but not necessary for a simple user at that level
wireshark does not work for individual apps, it cannot make a difference between traffic of process a and b.
for example to make sure you have got drivers.
but then, you need software for less computer-like devices too, like a smart watch or earbuds. do you immediately reflash those too? and who will make the software?
there is, you send the SIGSTP and SIGCONT to any process for it to be suspended or resumed
they can only support one coin legally. for details check out the Opt Out podcasts’s episode about this topic
the EU store regularly posts updates on stock
that is basically DNS based filtering. no, it does not have the same capabilities as uBO. Or can it make changes to packets going in and out of the system? I doubt it.
Spend it where you can, not many places.
there’s a surprising amount of sites where you can buy gift cards with Monero, for a lot of services. there’s also a few where you can buy a prepaid card
posts on durov’s channel have been like that for some time
probably this is it’s manifestation: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4204
