Here is a screenshot of the default Tor Browser, installed from the repos, no config changes made. As you can see, creepjs can detect that I am using Linux.
Obviously, if you disable js, then the site doesn’t work. Not sure if there are ways to detect the OS without javascript.
One common way to analyze the OS if all else fails is to look which fonts are installed. This is done by rendering thousands of divs with some text out of sight of the user. Each div with a different font. If the div width changes compared to the default, you know a font is installed. Different OS have different sets of fonts by default. Not sure if flatpak/flatseal (or other containerization methods) could protect against that. Technically you can install the exact set of Windows fonts and uninstall all Linux fonts, but I’d expect some linux app breakage and general uglyness.
An online search I did for how to completely hide the OS without breaking most websites did not result in anything except runnjng the browser in a Windows VM.
How comes my useragent is Linux then? I just installed it fresh trom the arch official repos for the first time to test. Creepjs shows the useragent further down (not in this screenshot) and I visited other test sites as well.
I’ll test it tomorrow by downloading it from the website.
afaik there are two options of why that is happening
per default seeds will be used for cooking. You need to toggle that off in the kitchen settings.
to get new seeds from your grown crop you need to brew alcohol from the plum helmets (and not use them for meals, but that should be off by default). So you should set up a brewer with the task of making alcohol from plum helmets.
Decided to test some browser fingerprinting this morning via the Cover Your Tracks tool by @eff. @brave, @librewolf, and (no surprise) @torproject all performed (or appeard to perform) better than @mullvadnet.
This one is also an interesting test because it has ways around many obfuscation attempts that privacy oriented browsers utilize. Well… less of a test and more of a showcase how creepy js is.
On my setup it was able to get way more info compared to coveryourtracks. For example, creepjs always detects my actual display size, but coveryourtracks doesn’t.
Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself.

I went to a startup bootcamp years ago and I quite liked it - I’ve learned a lot about my strenghts and weaknesses and thought about what I actually want to do in my life.
The startup methodology part was really boring though and didn’t align with my values at all, so I just ignored the instructions and did my own thing.
They have live traffic data, which OSM doesn’t have.
In terms of search, there are algorithmic ways to get smarter results compared to what is built in OSM per default. So if other users say that the results are better, magicearth might be doing some magic under the hood.
I know what it is. But it literally says “A stop job is running” and since english is not my first language, I had no good idea how to better express the technicalities of it in a short sentence.
As for it having nothing to do with systemd:
I am dual booting arch and artix, because I am currently in the middle of transitioning. I have the exact same packages on both installs (+ some extra openrc packages on artix).
About 30% of the shutdowns on arch do the stop job thing. It happens randomly without any changes being done by me between the sessions.
0% of the shutdowns on artix take more than 5 seconds.
I know that I can configure it. But why is 90 seconds a default? It is utterly unreasonable. You cite windows doing it, but compare it instead to mac, which has extremely fast powerups and shutdowns.
And back to the technicalities, openrc doesn’t say “a stop job is running”, so who runs the stop job if not systemd?
I will not debug 3rd party apps. I don’t even want to think about my OS nor ask any questions about it. I want to use a PC and do my job. That includes it shutting down asap when I need it to shut down asap.
systemd default - shutdown not always asap
openrc default - shutdown always asap
whatever the heck macs init system is - shutdown always asap
It may be not the “fault” of systemd, but neither does it do anything helpful to align itself with my needs.
If an app didn’t manage to shut down in 90seconds, it is probably hanging and there will be “DaTa LoSs” no matter if you kill it after 2 seconds or after 90.
Been running arch for over 5 years now.
I track all my hours and for arch maintenance I’ve spent a grand total of ~41 hours (desktop + laptop and including sitting there and staring at the screen while an update is running). The top three longest sessions were:
btrfs data rescue after I deleted a parent snapshot of my rollback (~20h)
grub update (~2h)
jdk update which was fucky (~30min)
|
It’s about 8.2 hours per year (or ~10minutes per week) which is less than I had to spend on windows maintenance (~22h/y afair, about half of that time was manually updating apps by going to their website and downloading a newer version).
Ubuntu also faired worse for me with two weekends of maintenance in a year (~32h), because I need the bleeding edge and some weird ass packages for work and it resulted in a frankenstein of PPAs and self built shit, which completely broke on every release upgrade.
Honestly, I have no idea why it went wrong or why it let me do that. Also my memory is a bit fuzzy since it’s been a while, but as best I can remember what I did step by step:
fuck around with power management configs
using btrfs-assistant gui app, rolled back to before that
btrfs-assistant created an additional snapshot, called backup something, I didn’t really pay attention
reboot, all seemed good
used btrfs-list to take a look, the subvolume that was the current root / was a child of the aformentioned backup subvolume
started btrfs-assistant and deleted the backup subvolume
system suddenly read only
reboot, still read only
btrfs check said broken refs and some other errors,
i tried to let btrfs check fix the errors, which made it worse, now I couldn’t even mount the drive anymore because btrfs was completely borked
used btrfs rescue, which got all files out onto an external drive successfully
installed arch again and rsync the rescued files over the new install, everything works as before, all files are there

All my WD drives died, while all my Seagate drives are in perfect working order.
Bought 2 WD hdds new, used them for about 4 years in RAID for daily borg backups, one died, the other got very slow with tons of smart errors.
Bought 2 Seagate hdds new, same usecase, same capacity, have been running for over 5 years now.
Personal anecdotes are not a reliable factor for manufacturer quality.
To quote some statistics:
In general, Seagate drives are less expensive and their failure rates are typically higher in our environment. But, their failure rates are typically not high enough to make them less cost effective over their lifetime.

Due to people complaining last time I posted about this: GNU Taler is a privacy preserving payment system, but not a crypto-currency.
