Can I block the operation of an #Aternity browser extension by using a custom filter on #AdGuard on my router? Or perhaps using a @protonmail VPN config on my router?
I really don’t like my big bad business daddy digging into my personal health #data, communications, etc., & I don’t have admin rights on my PC to disable/remove it.
@protonmail@VTDARKSIM thanks. I already did it on a #GLinet#ATX1800 and it worked well, but we had trouble with #SlingTV kicking us out so we abandoned all hope. I just run the VPN on our individual phones & computers now so I don’t have to troubleshoot Sling every time my wife wants to watch TV.
@VTDARKSIM Thanks for further clarifying. If you face any future issues with SlingTV, we have some troubleshooting tips at the bottom of our support article: https://protonvpn.com/support/watch-sling-tv-with-vpn/, although, as you've implied, most of them don't apply to a VPN setup on your router.
So annoyed by those "cookies consent" pop ups! 😡
My #AdGuard doesn't seem to block them.
My #NextDNS either.
Nor #Mullvad .
What's the best approach here? Create a custom rule every time in AdGuard? Report it somewhere (e.g. one of NextDNS lists)? "Accept all" hoping that my protections will shield me from all theses trackers?
n'oublie pas la config s'il y a des choses que tu veux garder; dans firefox aller dans add-on puis cliquer sur les 3 ... et choisir options (pas évident) /
don't forget the configuration
=> add-on
=>...
=> options

I knew #Plex sends a lot of analytics from me to their servers, but I was not expecting analytics.plex.tv to be number one in the list of blocked requests.
Another surprise was 287 (for now) requests blocked to logs.netfix.com. Why it's a surprise? We are not using #Netflix. I have it pre-installed on my TV but not even logged in there. That's some crazy shit.
Enlightening, isn't it? There are other empty blocks, but they are either fairly standard or are described elsewhere in the document.
If you are familiar with #helm, you won't despair because you have the power of analytics.enabled: false. That works on the rest of this chart and is the standard way to en/disable things.
It doesn't work that way.
Let me save you some time with the terrible new #github code search. Here is the actual syntax:
"analytics.reporting_enabled: false"
So, yeah, I'm still on #Windows. And I think I will stay. I unchecked any telemetry that I could. I use #Brave, with extensions. I use #Adguard#VPN I use #Signal with family. I do what I can for #privacy and #security
I must say that Windows as a desktop is full of little things that make life easier. I even like it more than MacOS. Linux is great, but I often felt that GNOME or any other desktop was holding with gaffer tape. No tomatoes please. 🍅😎
@Rush it's why I chose xscreensaver: it's "best" in the realm of stupid workarounds for something that was insecure to begin with. Lots of effort is spent making sure the lock part doesn't crash and unlock the screen.
Wayland getting a screen saver that can run X clients as screen savers would be nice, but I'm not sure if Wayland will even play nice with all my X clients.
@yakkoj Wayland plays nice with 99% of them as XWayland is -for lack if better terms- just modded Xorg.
The app will most likely think it's running through normal X though, so things like Screen sharing might not work immediately. (or well, sharing things which aren't X windows won't work out-of-the-box in many programs when ran under XWayland)
