this is my alias "s" , for "suspend" , into my .bashrc

alias s='echo -n mem > /sys/power/state && xlock'

it is a breeze to hit Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal, then "s" then ENTER

for privacy I append "&& xlock" , in this way if someone resume my system while I am away they have to know ...

Very well made and informative video about browser extensions and their security/privacy concerns.

Worth watching it.

darksun

I would argue that the only needed add-on is ublock origin. This is a topic of much discordance , yet:

- the more installed add-ons the more is the likely-hood of bugs, vulnerabilities and privacy concerns;

today's video, very well worth watching it, that also proves my points.

Yes there is and I have managed my puppy stations in this way since ever, without any issues and with all the advantages.

I follow privacy and security news from a variety of sources.
With this post I wish to highlight an important issue, of which many of us, including and especially puppy users (for how the ISOs releases are managed) could be affected from, and a solution that could help mitigating those issue.

I ...

darksun

it might be something is blocking the images from loading, check the settings of your extensions (add-ons) , I do not use those I can see from your screenshot you posted neither we can know how you set them, but for example ublock origin can block icons from loading; you might try to disable all the ...

Each build has all security fixes up to that point in time applied.

This is too much. Puppy does not even support onepackage, I am leaving... yes I am leaving the puppy linux forum, puppy linux sucks.

Hello @retro_bread :welcome:

There is a really easy approach to getting your PC to run BookWormPUP64 (BKWP64). And its less work and less problems.

It is simple
FROM your Windows, go here and get "Ventoy for windows" .
the Ventoy for windows 'exe' will create a bootable USB for you from ...

retro_bread welcome to our wonderful forum, a place where we share goodness.

From what I can read you might have some basic IT knowledge to obtain, that are lacking, foundations to have, essential skills and understanding.

I would focus on learning the basics, alongside of having your first ...

Thanks.

I had ublock origin installed in firefox, but not in chromium, so I just installed but.... (look capt)

It looks like google doesn't like what works.

We must find any substitute... I think

@Jasonbc you could continue chatting and soon after invent a story and ask her for money

darksun

my opinion is that there is an high risk this is a scam, even if s/he is not asking for money yet.
I have seen documentaries about scamming and some organized groups even hire and pay beautiful women do to video calls, audio messages, pictures and videos. Often they are from poor countries like ...

darksun

I believe you are wrong.

It has one purpose, sell a particular VPN service

They are yes distributing the browser to encourage the sell of their VPN but the software is free and opensource https://github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser/ and, as they state here in their website https://mullvad.net ...

Jasper I am clicking on those faces but nothing happens. My browser (which is made by my fraudulent ISP Mullvad) either has been possibly escalated to root in my puppy workstation or my ISP is defrauding me with a 44% probability.
Better I switch to the Chinese Slimjet Browser, rumors says it can ...

I hope people new to GNU/Linux that read the last two posts would be able to distinguish between bad information and very bad information.

darksun

I recommend you to try this Firefox-based web browser developed by The TOR Browser team (who merged with TAILS) and Mullvad.

For download and info, you find everything here https://mullvad.net/en/download/browser/linux

PS the software is free and open source and does NOT require to be used with ...

I don't know if LibreWolf's developers can be trusted (including their build pipeline)

thank you dimkr . Have you given a thought to Mullvad Browser?
It is made by trusted and capable devs (by The TOR Browser team, who merged with TAILS team, and Mullvad).

Excuseme @darksun I must learn to give good reasons as u did.

I do not understand what you are trying to say.

Sure I could have Googled it, but I prefer asking in a discussion where people might add useful insights beyond a simple search result. If it's too much trouble to answer , you can ...

darksun

your argument is
I (pp4mnklinux) use this piece of software because it can run in background ;
I spend lot but lot of time setting up my chosen piece of software && making a long detailed forum post here

then you initiate the presentation of your work with

Slimjet gives you the option to keep ...

darksun

Slimjet gives you the option to keep it running in the background.- I don't know if other browsers do the same, but this is an interesting option for me.

it would have taken you 8.3 seconds, more or less, to open your favorite web search engine and type "chrome running background" ; and ...

If you are interested in browser fingerprinting have a look at the documentation of arkenfox https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/ .
