You can try to be so generic that the attributes are meaningless, the meatspace version of this would be everyone wearing a Guy Fawkes mask so they all have the same face and you can't tell the difference between individuals. Or, you can wear a new generic face every single day so that nothing you did yesterday connects to you, an bland ephemeral identity.

Tor uses the former method (or tries to), everyone is up to something but you can't tell them apart because they all have the same face/browser attributes. Firefox's fingerprint resist is the second method, normally identifying values are fuzzed repeatedly so that while each signature is identifiable you won't be using it for long enough to connect them to eachother. Both strategies have their merits.

Around here there is a local grocery store that has flooded requiring a complete gutting 3 times in the last 20 years. And they're rebuilding it again. Seems like insanity to me but if some one is willing to sell you subsidized insurance for this and there isn't an available plot of land infested with NIMBY red tape I can understand why they do it. I can't understand why anyone thinks this is a good way to set things up though.

But if Vmware was open source they never would have bought it. The leverage being closed provides is the whole point.

I abandoned my facebook account when they asked for my driver's license scan, a few weeks later suddenly they didn't need it after all. My BIL recently wanted me to check sout omething he had setup on facebook and I found I could "login" by clicking one of the "what are people doing" spam emails they send. I've never used it on this PC before and have no idea what the password even is anymore. Super secure.

Not disagreeing with the topic at hand but this isn't even consistent anymore. When they switched to FttN for DSL in my area I noticed the batteries for the nodes only last a day before they die and I lose landline service.

Another poster mentioned that buying weed with cash is just a good idea as having credit card transactions at Bill's weed shop forever on your permanent record isn't a good idea.

Based on this test I'm surprised Brave's fingerprint resister did not work for you. But on firefox the enhanced privacy protection (strict) and the resistfingerprinting option are two different knobs.

> bonus points if the filtering happens upstream at a router or wireguard host so a compromised machine cannot easily disable filtering.

Is it possible to combine these two with open/tinysnitch somehow? It'd be nice to easily build a whitelist but with the way Windows works I couldn't trust any firewall that was running on Windows itself.

I actually think Microsoft's TTS is the best and has many voices. IBM's Watson branded voice was a close second. But as near as I can tell, there's no way to run these locally, only through their cloud interface.

I'd say this portaspeech one was the best local I've heard but it annoyingly trips on words like "shouldn't".
