>> Only in browsers

Most ppl use a browser to access websites

>> still not really sure what the plan is

Place the above list in the My Filter section of 'uBlock'. It destroys data leaks, sometimes by making a request to a server you reveal things about yourself, your setup, the page you are viewing, this may be anonymized in the case of using Tor but even when using Tor it is possible that you reveal information about yourself and even the exact page you a viewing. This enables vast meta-analysis at the very least. If a news outlet uses cloudfront for the image on their site for example just by getting the image you and EVERYONE who uses that site tells sc'amazon the issues that matter to them, thus opening up users of that site, and any possible users whose demographic overlaps in anyway with the target demographic of that site, to mass manipulation/indoctrination methods.

The plan is to starve their datacentres/servers of data they can use to target and attack humanity on masse using targeted AND aggregated data, as they have been.

>> CBDC

if people are not willing to block the 30 most prevalent cagemafia domains what hope is there for blocking cbdcs. in fact, i would argue it is the abilty for the predator class to mediate or inject themsleves into almost every communication ppl have on a web browser, is more damaging in the long run than seeing an occasional payment. As we've seen with the sanctions on ICC representatives, on russia, on truckers, on anyone, any attempt to control ppls payments is met with an extreme response. So if i had to choose between comms or payments, i want predator free comms.

Payment is downstream from comms anyway, payment is a type of comm. comms are not a type of payment. Comms win.

for the record I'm an advocate for good digital hygiene, and using Tor Browser in 'Safest Mode' and with uBlock Origin.
>> But uBlock Origin changes your browsers fingerprint!

Yes and no. It changes your fingerprint in ways that are not noticeable by anyone but you 98% of the time. For the other 2% of the time (where you access a site that is actively colluding with the tech predators your browser fingerprint matches the average TailsOS user, because TailsOS packs Tor Browser with uBlock BY DEFAULT....

....which is AWESOME! Dear Tor devs @torproject can you see this?

Safest Mode blocks javascript by default but if you drag the NoScript addon back into the toolbar you can enable js for the sites YOU choose....like ur fediverse, etc. This is how Tor Browser was years ago but they made a bad decision to remove the addon from the toolbar so the next generation of privacy conscious ppl would find Tor difficult to use. To enable js without NoScript a user needs to RESET their browser. Ie. Close the browser and lose ALL their tabs and start over. When they want to stop js (for ALL sites) they need to restart the browser YET AGAIN. Totally unusable.

Why? They take money from entities that dont want the average person to use Tor. They want Tor to be used only by 5% of users who a most adament in protecting their privacy. Or for Tor to be used in a country that blocks dodgy websites designed to intoxicate and brainwash the youth of that country, eg. fecesbook. If Tor were to become too popular it would end a bunch of golden handshakes, and attacks that the predator class exploit. So they had to make it a little bit crap by default.

I recommend going a step further and blocking common C.A.G.E.M.A.F.O.A. servers that have been able to dupe web developers into including snitches into their sites under the guise of convenience. Block information leaking to geewwgle, cloudflare, and scam'azon by blocking their Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and video sites, that some developers try to embed into their webpages.

Go to the uBlockOrigin settings and 'My filters' tab, then copy/paste the following domains, one per line, into the text area and click 'Apply changes' to block them:

If you have a suggestion for another domain to block I'd be intersted to know about it, but I check every website I visit for dodgy third-party requests and have not seen more than these. The rumble one is a guess by me....dont beleive ive ever seen a rumble embed, maybe a couple years ago just b4 the browser killed itself. @p @silverpill @sohrab @gabriel @caohuak

NEW domain to add the above uBlock block list, recently fonts.bunny.net was turned over to amazon. if you wish to follow my block list it should now read as:

>> "Seems like it'd be easier to just have a look at the ASNs for who owns the address space the IP resolves to"

Yes and no, by nipping the requests by domain name we avoid the DNS leak, also I don't believe uBlock is able to block based on ip address ranges, tho I may be mistaken, the third limitation is by scanning all the IP address ranges it might cause reponsiveness/slowness issues.

>> "what the purpose"

Block the most common extortion methods that the CAGEMAFOA have been able to suck web developers into adopting, under the false appeal and false economy of supposed load times.... and doing so in the most effective and efficient way possible.

This site, which is dedicated to an alleged free software community in China, is hosted on servers in Germany. It is being mirrored on i2p (fsfans.i2p), im guessing, without the express knowlegde or permission of the webmaster (William Goodspeed?). One of the more delightful pages is this one https://learn.fsfans.club/

(the learn.* subdomain is not being mirrored on i2p)

Anyway the last post on the site was made in nov last year (2025) and Goodspeed explains with BRILLIANT CLARITY some of the issues facing the free software community, and that they are moving to hosting a fediverse server instead. Interestingly they chose a PieFed instance and according to the post they can only federate with other #PieFed or #Lemmy instances (?). I was super curious so I went to visit their instance only to find that the certificate was only for samsung domains?!

Beyond that point of course I expect that the site is broken, and true to form, fetching pages doesnt work and errors on the page reference an akamai domain (errors.edgesuite.net). For those playing along at home akamai is the last 'A' in the techno-fascists acronym CAGeMAFiA. but to be honest anything beyond the certificate issue is not important, just a curiousity.

can anyone shed light on what happened to this instanve? I was not on fedi at the time, having my 19 month forced-by-circumstance hiatus, lol @p @r @gabriel @rms @silverpill ?? if not i invite u to ingore this post completely.

NEW TOPIC: Including some new participants due to reasons that will be obvious to them.

## Clam AV

How important is having an antivirus on linux like clamav for messaging (xmpp/fedi/etc) servers? or is there still an assumption that gnu/linux is safewithout it?

How disturbing is it that Cloudflare, and M$ appear to be the only ways to get the virus signature databases? Even the chinese mirror is cloudflare.

How positive would it be for the digital ecosystem if fediservers were to form volunteer combines where they agree to help build and distribute virus signature db files for each other. and possibly for ppl on their instance? As im sure ppl know im active in /dev/nulling cf, micro$haft, et al

just a thought, dunno.
