My apologies to the Bugzilla team for wasting their time holding my hand on this one. Would have honestly never noticed the little “HTML5” info icon to the left of the URL bar though without their help.
Yes, that is one method to resist canvas fingerprinting, but only resist it. Notice the portion about GPU performance testing, that would work even if the data was fuzzed. The best method seems to be to return fake data that changes frequently, but even that is contested.
Here’s a good document with other methods (but not focusing on just canvas fingerprinting): 2019.www.torproject.org/projects/…/design/#finger…
For what it’s worth, Firefox does protect against canvas fingerprinting by default it seems. I am not exactly sure how, however.
Let's play a little game! In the interest of building community (and if you'd be willing to share), answer these 2 questions:
What does your username/alias mean?
How/Why did you choose that one?
I'm really curious to hear where some of y'all's names came from! I'll start.
SYN-ACK is the second step in the TCP handshake process (SYN -> SYN-ACK -> ACK). The SYN-ACK packet is the server's acknowledgement that the client's request has been received, and also sets a sequence number for server responses so that the client knows what packets are coming from the server.
I chose this for a couple of reasons:
I'm a software dev by trade, so I wanted something geeky and technical-sounding
It has my initials embedded in it
It metaphorically captures the concept of either posting a toot of my own (which is "ACK"ed by anyone who responds to it) or reading someone else's toot (replying to someone else's toot, thus "SYN-ACK"ed, well, by me :bec_grin: ).
An alternate version that I toyed with, SinAck, could tie into the Shadowrun concept of runners being SINless (where SIN == System Identification Number). Might still do that sort of shenanigans in my display name from time to time now that I've been here for a while. :bec_wink:
So Justin #Trudeau, our "#unifying" prime minister who wants to "build #bridges, not sow #division", announced the suspension of the much-hated and regressive #carbon#tax on #heating#oil - but only in the Maritime provinces, because heating your #house shouldn't be expensive, and the #Maritimes are mostly oil-heated.
The west, which is mostly natural #gas-heated, or #propane-heated, which are also carbon taxed?
Kristall is a small browser for the small web, namely for the #gopher#gemini and #finger protocols. But it supports a subset of HTML too and that's what we're testing out.
It completely ignores our CSS as expected, but the result is completely readable with a working navigation menu.
It does a great job at displaying a CSS-less version of our site.
Aus dem Bilderbuch 'Die fünf FInger und der Mond' von Kemal Kurt und Aljoscha Blau (1/3)
Die 5 Protagonisten die jeweils einen Finger (Daumen bis kleiner Finger) darstellen leben in einer Welt in der nachts gearbeitet und tagsüber geschlafen wird. Entsprechend wichtig ist der Mond für sie und entsprechend dunkel sind auch die Bilder gehalten.
Dieses Bilderbuch ist das Erstlingswerk von Aljoscha Blau.
Aus dem Bilderbuch 'Die fünf FInger und der Mond' von Kemal Kurt und Aljoscha Blau (2/3)
Der Mond verliert im Laufe der Geschichte Teile von sich und wird 'krank'. Hier wird er von Goldfinger - dem Heiler - verarztet damit er sich wieder frei drehen kann.
Aus dem Bilderbuch 'Die fünf FInger und der Mond' von Kemal Kurt und Aljoscha Blau (3/3)
Als der Mond dann geheilt ist gibt es ein großes Fest und in 'Anderland' ist alles wieder wie früher.
Laut Wikipedia ist das Herzstück des Schaffens von Kemal Kurt das Erzählen für Kinder. Er hat auch viele Bücher von Deutsch in das türkische Übersetzt.
This is so cute: Happy Net Box is a public Finger server by @benbrown If you sign up and create a profile it will be served via the Finger protocol, the link in bio of the pre-web Internet.
It seems like the people responding to this poll (so far) skew towards those who experienced the Internet in the 1990s and earlier.
Which might suggest there are a lot of people on the #Fediverse that not only remember the #oldInternet , but might want to support, bring back, and re-create & restore the best parts of the "old Internet".
ProTip: If you enabled resistFingerprinting, you have to manually allow HTML5 canvas usage per website (mastodon.social)
