That’s not blocking the fingerprinting, that obfuscating the data. The fact that you are doing that itself becomes part of the fingerprint being built. Services like Tor or Chameleon don’t stop the fingerprinting process running, they just make it more difficult (but not impossible) to tie the fingerprint to your actual identity.
That’s not the fingerprinting happening client side, that’s just information supply. Fingerprinting is about what the server does with that information.
You can’t really “block” fingerprinting. You can obfuscate it a bit, but the fingerprinting process happens server side, not on your device. So whether or not your system sends whatever age verification signal becomes a part of its fingerprint.
I was expecting civil discourse and a level-headed response.
He may have been hoping for that, but surely he didn’t truely expect it. The FOSS community can barely have a civil discussion about filesystems.
We are talking about legislation. Unless it’s very specifically targeted legislation, the conversation always is about the general public.
Then why would they be relevant to a discussion about legislation that affects the general public?
You honestly believe that the general public is going to suddenly rush to chromium or Firefox forks?
That question was rhetorical. Apple and Google account for 95% of the browser market.
You mean the browsers all based on code from Google and Apple, who also want that info, and will be pressured to use that API to “protect the children” from adult websites?
App stores and anything else that makes a call to that API.
Nope. Most of these legislations are pushing for OS level.
I’m guessing one of the motives is to be able to get more data from non meta users. If the API exists at the operating system level, they can then use the code behind that stupid little Facebook button that every website has to get user age as well as the normal browser fingerprinting data.
Lol, very first pair of comments. I love phoronix sometimes.
For Corsair RGB, there’s also OpenLinkHub. Supports pretty much everything Corsair now.
To answer your question anyway, raspberry Pi made the rp2040 chip, which is a microcontroller similar to the esp, instead of a full fat computer SOC
Many. But there too, I’m seeing many people move to VScode + platformio. I’m not saying Arduino is already dead, I’m just saying that the alternatives were already gaining ground.
Maybe it’s just what I’ve been noticing, but I feel like Arduino was already losing its share of the hobbyist market. The plethora of small, cheap esp32 devices have already been taking Arduino’s place.
If you are a company the size of Microsoft, you have more than enough resources to test absolutely everything.
Like other people have said, it’s going to depend on what you want to do with the NAS. If it’s going to be a pure NAS (ie network storage only), then using onboard will be fine. If you plan on doing other things (home assistant, media server, etc), I recommend going the virtual machine + HBA route.
I’m guessing that a good chunk of that usage is coming from the TrueNAS VM.
