smpl@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox search is resolving to IP instead of hostnameEnglish0·4 months agoHave you looked at the OpenSearch Description file for your instance? It might be generated with an IP by SearXNG not knowing the hostname. The URL is probably
https://search.home/opensearch.xml
.If you want to examine the search engines in your browser profile, they’re stored in a json file compressed with a mozilla specific variant of lz4. The file is
search.json.mozlz4
and can be unpacked to json with lz4json.
smpl@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.ml•Google Chrome is no longer 'deprecating third-party cookies'English2·10 months agoThank you.
Interesting that they’ll make it a user choice. Who would answer yes?
On 22 July 2024, Google announced that it is changing its approach to Privacy Sandbox. Instead of removing third-party cookies from Chrome, it will be introducing a user-choice prompt, which will allow users to choose whether to retain third party cookies.

smpl@discuss.tchncs.deto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Bold Ideas For Funding Open Source SoftwareEnglish9·11 months agoThat’s the last stage of being a FOSS developer.
From what I read these articles talk about post infection use of OpenNIC tlds. Anyway it was just a suggestion, it’s always a good idea to only use DNS servers you trust :)
I don’t understand how that would be a security risk to you. Even if I understood what the threat vector was, it would be very inefficient to use an OpenNIC tld to spread malware as you only target 0.0001% (random very low number) of internet users.
smpl@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Jonathan Kamens: "It has come to my attention that many of the people complaining about Firefox's PPA experiment don't actually understand what PPA is…" - federate.socialEnglish96·11 months agoYou’re in trouble already as a business, wasting a lot of money, if you don’t know where your target audience is. What you argue is that this is used for a business to probe where an advertisement would work. I’d argue that that is a very expensive way of finding your target audience, because you still have to pay for all the ads that didn’t work. There are much better ways of figuring out where your target audience is.
I think most people believe that this obsessive data collection is neccessary, only because Google has repeatedly painted that narrative. This better advertising is just coincidentally the form of advertising that Google is in the best position to supply.
If you carefully pick the places you advertise and do statistics on how it affect your business while a campaign runs I’m willing to bet you get a much better return. As a bonus to saving money you didn’t have to shit on an important principle in democracy, the autonomy of the people, protected by something called privacy.
smpl@discuss.tchncs.deto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking youEnglish101·11 months agoDid you ironically preserve the utm_source parameter?
smpl@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Jonathan Kamens: "It has come to my attention that many of the people complaining about Firefox's PPA experiment don't actually understand what PPA is…" - federate.socialEnglish209·11 months agoI’m not even buying the premise. Any business can look at its bottomline to see if their advertising works. If they can’t, then its not working.
How?
There’s plenty to add from OpenNIC and you get access to some addition TLDs as a bonus ;)
smpl@discuss.tchncs.deto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Privacy@Lemmy.ml: How can I remove the extra parameters in startpage.com URLsEnglish31·11 months agoI use the addon Redirector for rewriting urls to youtube etc. to private alternatives. I guess you can use it to rewrite startpage queries.
Unless someone has registered the trademark for those specific purposes you’re clear. A trademarks is only valid within a specific field of purpose. Trademarks are there to avoid consumers mistaking one brand for another.
There are a lot of entertaining articles on Techdirt about companies not understanding trademark law.
I agree and the requirement for an exact placement of attribution is not very friendly to derivate works either. I don’t think that section 7 of AGPL allow adding anything other than the exact terms in section 7 and it has a clause that allow removing non-permissive additions to the AGPL, but I’ve sent an e-mail to FSF asking what their position is. I would be very concerned picking AGPL as a license for my projects, if section 7 allow adding clauses like that. Anyhow the clauses were added in this commit, so anything prior to 7.3.0 is normal AGPL.

You’re right in pointing out the problems with decentralized message synchronization, though I was only trying to point out the fact that no known technology is capable of real-time messaging unless both parties are online ;)
