Did you know that you can upload your #Peertube videos with #Fedilab? Did you use it?

You can download Tor Browser for Android from our website or Google Play. It should be available from F-Droid within the next day. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.torbrowser

#Javascript is the motorcar of the web. It enabled many things to be done in a web browser that couldn't be done with just HTML/CSS (although some like media embedding now can). But like cars, it came with a whole bunch of negative externalities. Too often URLs now point to 'scriptsites', not websites, where even text and static images can't be browsed with JS turned off.

NoScript Security Suite: blocks content loaded from other domains

uBlock Origin: blocks ads

Privacy Badger: detects and fights attempts are cross-site user tracking

TrackMeNot: sends garbage data to various search engines known to track users to mask your real searches

HTTPS Everywhere: uses SSL/TLS by default with sites known to support it

Decentraleyes: it replaces Google tracker-laden scripts with compatible, trackerless local versions

CanvasBlocker: alters JavaScript when attempts at fingerprinting your browser are detected

Privacy Settings: allows access to various privacy settings without needing to dive into about:config

P.S. Instead of NoScript, you may wish to use uMatrix. The two are functionally similar, but some users prefer the interface of uMatrix and also the fact that uMatrix allows you to allow and disallow content of different types from different domains, exclusively on the current domain.

I replaced a recommendation to use an extension called AdNauseam with TrackMeNot because AdNauseam is not compatible with popular ad blockers. TrackMeNot is similar in sending garbage data to mask your legitimate information, but doesn’t rely on loading ad trackers to do so.

Great writeup by @awilfox !

#RedHat remains independent! #Linux kernel support for IDE reaches EOL, #GNOME explains the basics, and a Raspberry Pi on the half shell.

As it's the 10th anniversary of Minecraft, a reminder that there's a free open alternative called Minetest:

You can follow it on the Fediverse at:

It has many game modes including online multiplayer servers.

Please remember that #Git is by nature distributed. So when migrating from (for example) #GitHub to (for example) #GitLab please, please, please do NOT create a brand new repository and git add the files, or the entire commit history will be lost. Instead, just push the existing repository to your new hosting service.

What's not mentioned in the ActivityPub spec that you'll need to implement the standard? Learn about it in the latest episode of Libre Lounge:
