I’ve felt like I’m in a simulation quite often. It sounds very cliché and I never thought I’d actually feel it (the idea has always fascinated me but c’mon, really?) up until the last few years.

Fucking sick people. Imagine going into work and doing this subhuman shit all day.

I can’t remember for sure but I think it’s common knowledge that lemmy.world blocks VPNs. Just switch to an instance that doesn’t.

I don’t really care either but I think immediately calling it “not news” is maybe a little much.

I use this website quite a bit but there are tons (just search for “what’s my IP address”). This is another good one for testing IPv6 connectivity problems.

The simple explanation is that on IPv4 it’s 99% probable that it’s the case that everyone on your home network appears as the same IP address on the internet. With IPv6 it’s possible but highly discouraged, each device would have its own IPv6 address (though it might still be obvious they’re related).

So yeah, it really does seem like they’re hating on your home network.

Or ip address?

Makes sense since their shit hole servers only support IPv4. You were all probably NAT’d to the same IPv4 address.

Yeah the scale is crazy confusing.

Yeah seriously. Why even engage?

Share of people who gave a response between 1-4 on a 1-10 scale to the question: “Please tell me whether you think homosexuality can always be justified, never be justified, or something in between.”

“Share” would imply it’s the percentage of respondents to the survey no?

Even worse, don’t use the suggested Samba, NFS without a tunnel either! You should probably have the default ports blocked at the router.

I get the same confusion when I prove someone wrong using a universal curl example. The same guy that parses JSON by hand (rather than use a library) can’t remember how to fucking use curl.

Surprised no one just said Samba or NFS over a tunnel (Tailscale, WireGuard, etc).

Or by “sharing” do you mean keeping files synced between the two for replication?

I came here to say MDMA too! I’m a Millennial but it was far my most favorite drug c. 2010.

Move to the other side of the continent.

I think I’ve seen research supporting this but of course I can’t remember where.

Sorry but that’s totally wrong.

The entire point is that if it’s unique it can be considered a fingerprint — in fact the entire reason it’s called “fingerprint” is that in theory it’s unique like a real fingerprint.

If it’s common then it’s unreliable as a fingerprint because it’s no longer unique. Therefore whether it’s unique or not is the entire point and relevant to the topic.

I mean it’s somewhere between what both of you are saying. I imagine “randomized” means a random common “fingerprint” (with parameters like user agent, language, etc) rather than just a unique set of randomized parameters (say, time zone in US but language set to Farsi which would be unique to an extent).

From their domain that I’ve already blocked with DNS? Or are you talking about first-party scripts calling Google (which I’ve also seen though much more rare)?

In any case I block those too.

Right, that’s why I mentioned all the blocking at the DNS and browser extension level — most fingerprinting is being done by third-parties — I generally don’t see first parties fingerprinting but if they do it’s likely a website I chose to be on rather than some shady <script> from God knows where.
