  • Have you seen the hold France and Russia keep in Africa?

    • The CFA Franc still exists in Africa, even though France uses the euro and is an EU country. France enjoys a de facto veto on the boards of two banks of the CFA Franc zone.
    • Those “Wagner” pieces of shit were doing business in Africa before they went to Ukraine.

    If that’s not imperialism, I don’t know what is.

    The new one looks so much better than that overdetailed crap, I don’t want a painting, I want an easily discernable icon. Also, I can’t believe we’re still doing Firefox so many years after its new logo debuted, especially since Thunderbird just changed their logo. In my opinion, it seems like people are just reiterating the same joke some bloke did without even looking up the why and how. And before you ask, yes I prefer the new Thunderbird logo too, it’s much more discernable.


  • Well yeah, you cannot completely cut deduction off the table. Not even in the real world. The fact though that the internet makes it easier is of course true. Even Tor is vulnerable to deduction-based MITM attacks using nodes that log activity. Nowadays though I think it matters less and less what you access, since everything in the internet has been reduced to a handful of huge websites (fucking SEO). If you’re in one of them, I doubt DNS info are going to be much of any use, apart from them having accessed Facebook, or YouTube. When I’m doing stuff I want hidden though, tor and DoH are a must.


  • As someone who knows a bit more about privacy in networking than watching the sponsored bits in YouTube videos, I agree with the examples you posed, but there are other technologies to fix your DNS leaking to your ISP. One of them being DNS over HTTPS. It’s default in Firefox, and pretty hard to crack just like any other HTTPS query. All your ISP can know is that you’re potentially making a DNS query. Another option is a local DNS server cache. Choose some domains you wanna be able to access, and diligently update your local cache using HTTPS from existing DNS servers every fortnight. Your DNS queries will never escape your LAN.
