This general is for discussing tools and methods for dropping tech monoliths, privacy and being ""anonymous"", and future networks.
Any political discussion that is not directly related to the statements, practices, and terms of service of tech companies belongs on other boards, not here. Also, feel free to use this general for discussing tech politics so the board stays tidy.

I've been using hooktube for the better part of a week. I'm worried that it will get taken down though. Everything good does.
Gabriel Russell
Will blocking all google analytics and ad servers with my hosts file break the websites I visit?
Aaron Reyes
how do I get rid of my name from google? I don't care if the content is there, I just want it so that when you search my name nothing relevant to me comes up
Samuel Green
no. why do you think it would?
Mason Adams
Pic related?
Mason Mitchell
In what way?
On the surface level you can just change your name. But the botnet will still give all your records to the FBI. There's no avoiding it.
There are services you can pay for to remove you from search results, but I don't know if its a scam.
Jeremiah Thompson
she's just concerned about her privacy user
Brody Hill
Can you block all that shit on the router?
Austin Foster
I guess I'll try it out. Was just wondering if it was normal for companies to use conditional logic and block people trying to avoid tracking.
Thomas Taylor
Some sites do break when you block gstatic.com
Brayden Adams
>looking at cock.li's subpoenas God being an email host must be a pain in the ass.
Mason Sanchez
can i suggest autistici.org for mail? based in italy so its somewhat out of the US reach and very privacy oriented.
It was a big thing when lavabit when down and was recommended here quite a bit yet its forgotten now
Ryan Richardson
Sup Forums captcha is hosted there
Colton Morris
you'll probably get the occasional "we see you're using adblock...." message. adding to hosts file won't be different from using a real adblocker.

Ryan Nelson
This is the type of person that wants to """""de-google""""""" by the way.
I consider unbotnetting a challenge that can never be met. Sort of like climbing K2. Thrilling but no hope.
Tyler Jenkins
Could I make a bunch of websites with fake content on them and spam my name so google shows those sites instead of, for instance, my github?
My github profile was my face for a while and I don't want my face to come up when you search my name.
David Carter
>>cock.li >>ProtonMail Both of these browsers REQUIRE javascript to run.And as pointed out before, they are both susceptible to XSS exploit. Ironically, gmail has an html mode.
Robert Foster
e.g. I have obv removed my github profile image since then but google cached a copy of the old image for some reason.
Cooper Scott
why use webmail though?
Jason Martin
use legacy captcha?
Isaiah Reed
Why be limited to one computer that has all your email downloaded to it?
Gab is pathetic. It's just like eightchan in that its only purpose is to complain about it's sister site Sup Forums and be a "stick it to the man" rebel site. Only difference is it has much bigger production value and isnt run by a cripple.
Joshua Lopez
As a kid I was part of social media a lot but after years of not using things like that anymore it all just went away. My face or anything related to me comes up. But thats also because I use an online handle for most things
Daniel Perry
i like that i can say faggot in live stream chat and not get banned
Brody Rivera
I just use a bunch of psuedonyms and never ever login to facebook. The normies I grew up with probably think I'm dead.
Faceted identity was the best idea moot ever had, too bad he was a faggot and now a cuck.
Justin Rogers
The more I use bitchute, the more I like it. It reminds me of Google Videos before they bought youtube. When you could find 8 hour long holocaust denial videos with no ads, and Google gave zero shits.
Carter Anderson
Reactionary web development needed to happen.
Noah Sullivan
So now that Cloudflare refuses to host nazis, is Sup Forums fucked?
Easton Taylor
Systemd is not an init system!! If someone characterizes systemd as an “init system,” you may safely assume that s/he is either utterly clueless or deliberately obfuscating the discussion. Calling systemd an init system is like calling an automobile a cup holder. Not even Lennart Poettering pretends that systemd is anything but the “Core OS” (sic).
What systemd is is an effort to re-create large portions of existing userspace (including login, job scheduling, and networking, just to name a few) inside a single process traditionally reserved for the sole purpose of starting *nix userspace. (Just in case it isn't clear, there is a huge difference between starting userspace (init) and being userspace (systemd).)
At the end of the day, how one perceives this re-creation of existing userspace strongly influences one's reaction to systemd. There are plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons to be troubled by this re-invention of the wheel; they range from the philosophical and aesthetic, to the technical and mechanical, even the purely political and brutally practical.
And that's part of the problem when folks start to “debate” systemd. Very few folks have the chops to think about, much less talk about all of these areas simultaneously. As a result, the discussion becomes fractured and disjointed, in what is literally the textbook definition of bikeshedding. Suddenly, a talking head who's never written a line of code in his/her life offers up an authoritative-sounding-but-utterly-bogus opinion on systemd's maintainability. Add in the fact that folks on both sides (including Poettering himself) act as if name-calling is a perfectly good substitute for empirical evidence, and the “debate” becomes indistinguishable from white noise.
>My problem with this is that the order in which services are started should, in my opinion, be exactly the same each time and predictable to the sysadmin. With systemd, the order is not deterministic, so you don’t know what’s going to happen next time you boot. I work with servers and embedded devices; I don’t care much about boot time. A server spends several minutes in the BIOS during POST anyway, before the bootloader is even run; making the OS boot faster doesn’t change very much. Embedded devices already start quickly because you trim them down to the bare minimum. What I care about is that every time I boot, the same exact things happen in the same exact order — the order that I want.
>It seems no one can agree on whether systemd is modular or not. I think the problem is with different definitions of ‘modularity’. Systemd doesn’t put everything in PID 1 like some people suggest; it uses modules that communicate with each other. So it is modular in that sense. But these modules are very tightly integrated. You can’t easy remove some of them, or replace them with other things. So in that sense it is very monolithic. This is not at all like having a simple interface and passing data via stdin and stdout, which is the modularity that makes UNIX pipes possible. This is the sense that matters to me.
>[...]I dislike the way systemd is absorbing everything. It’s not just an init system, it’s become an everything-under-the-hood includes-the-kitchen-sink management system. That doesn’t feel modular to me. Why should systemd implement NTP when ntpd already exists? I think systemd-timesyncd and all the others like it are just reinventing the wheel.

Matthew Wood
some fag on Sup Forums claimed that protonmail was "compromised" and details would be here so what's wrong with protonmail?
Julian Reed
i think he was referring to some story about it getting ddossed by israel
Nathaniel Lee
>so what's wrong with protonmail? just a brazilian kid trying to buy drugs on reddit got fucked up by protonmail
Samuel Edwards
k thanks. I just want to do regular legit business without putting my balls in Google's mousetrap so I've been feeling pretty good about Proton
Hunter Price
>skiddies thinking installing software and using services makes them anonymous on the internet
This is why everything is a placebo unless you follow a privacy live style. It usually means having a text based browser and not playing runescape.
Jack Lewis
I used to use my name and there are news sites e.g. techcrunch that have my name. it isn't going away
Henry Perry
I'm on arch so I tried $ sudo pacman -R systemd and I get :: dhcpcd: removing systemd breaks dependency 'udev'
how can I have udev and internet without systemd???
Jaxon Myers
I want to drop gmail but I've signed up for so much with it. What if I forget the password to some site I used gmail to sign up with?
Gabriel Hall
>infrared doesn't detect darker skin What? Does darker skin not give off heat?
Isaiah White
make a new account
Brody Rogers
maybe it's literally a shitty iphone tier camera used for motion detect; probably chinese
Adam Rodriguez
Its called project management, nerd.
>set a goal >do some research >decide how many things you're signed up to, you you think you're signed up >log in to each service and update your email to not gmail >every now and then check back and see if you reached your goal >use a high tech encryption solution for your passwords from now on, like a piece of paper in a safe

I found an angelfire site with redneck jedi jokes
Jordan Wilson
It'd be a near-ir reflectivity sensor, not far-ir.
Mason King
this is the kinda shit you'd show your dad in 1998 and he'd spend the better part of the evening reading the entire page outloud to the family
Juan Hall
Youtube alternative for /k/omrades. Most of them probably knows I guess.

I just moved off gmail last week - set it to forward all your email to your new address.
Jaxson Adams
What do I use if I'm not familiar with browsers
Grayson Watson
What about advertising? What are the best alternatives to Google?
Dominic Rogers
more opinions about this? it looks too good to be true
Nolan Sanders
Okay, so I have hackernews and slashdot as two technology news replacements, any other good tech sites that I can easily find news for?
Sebastian Walker
it just streams media directly from jootube, bypassing all their ads and analytics. Its only a matter of time before Google changes how Youtube works internally and it stops working. For now, it's great.
Christian Allen
it _CLAIMS_ it streams media directly is it open source?
Carter King
Impressive, very nice
Camden Lee
...
Logan Fisher
Sure. It can claim whatever it wants.
NewPipe is a mobile app that does exactly the same thing and it's floss so you can look it up on github and decide for yourself its working as described.
Jeremiah Jones

Brody Martin
Any thoughts on the Iridium browser? Or is it just more bullshit since it's a chromium knock off? I haven't had time to play with it much lately here. iridiumbrowser.de/
Thomas Mitchell
what's wrong with nytimes (aside from being big brother's news outlet)?
Blake Peterson

Nice try, with Google at least i won't be a retarded Drumpffag.

Eli Clark
Beautiful.
Chase Clark
I'd like to know too. Is it just ungoogled chromium?
Every chrome fork fucking sucks. Brave is a pig, Vivaldi is an ugly mess. Chromium is Chrome.
Zachary Perez
What's wrong with Brave?
Jaxon Reed
Its built on Electron, it uses a shit ton of system resources for basic browsing
Juan Sullivan
>Sup Forums uses Google captcha Fuck this. Give me an alternative to Sup Forums.
Jason Johnson
These colors kill my eyes
Daniel Kelly
you can only pick two: [ ]extensions [ ]efficiency [ ]freedoms
Adrian Thompson
It looks like mad frog yelling REEEEEE.
Landon Lopez
Iridium isn't even on that list. I went ahead and installed it. Seems like chromium, fast and not sluggish, gets updates and can use extensions. Gonna keep this one.

Damn, I remember that "scene". What happed to those videos? I had all of them on my ML favorites.
