Materialious contains zero trackers. Believe this was a issue with ublock falsely flagging local fonts as trackers or something, someone else open a issue on the repo with a similar issue. Feel free to review the source code for any trackers.

Ward OP ,

Materialious doesn't use remote fonts by default, only as a backup if local font loading fails. For some reason ublock in hard mode makes local font fail loading & remote font is used.

Anyone know exactly what info Youtube captures from you from its browser version (and by what means)?

I know the prevailing sentiment for a long time in the privacy community has been "DAE Youtube bad?" though I have always thought that it is kinda overblown. Besides, I am using Firefox which is supposed to isolate tabs so they can't speak to each other, so I felt a small amount safer using Youtube....

Maybe with the Materialious frontend

Cough cough might be a plug

fair enough! Materialious very much meant for people who use Invidious and are comfortable with JS.

Ward OP ,

This interface uses the Invidious API. So if YouTube breaks Invidious & Materialious, once Invidious is fixed, Materialious is also fixed.

Materialious uses ReturnYouTubeDislikes for dislikes and likes, this option can be disabled in settings.

Yea the slider was the default component vidstack uses, I do agree it would be a good idea to use a drop down instead.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Yes! DeArrow support is planned

Materialious is a web app. Check out Clipious for a native Android Invidious client with support for Android TV.

Thank you & yes my taste is on point.

Enable dash in settings

Yes anyone can host Materialious on their own server! Does require you to host Invidious too.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Thanks for your interested. Currently this is just a alternative frontend for Invidious. But I am open to integrating other services into Materialious.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

I enjoy confusing people.

Home page is the "popular" page what is pulled from Invidious' API. Basically just the popular videos people have been watching on that instance.

The amount of Firefox fanboys who will get mad at you for mentioning Android Firefox missing per-site process isolation. I’ve basically made the choice to not mention it anymore because I always get harassed whenever I do lol…

Firefox on desktop is awesome, Mobile should be avoided.

The most insecure Android stack

Its considered a highly experimental feature, so enabling it could result in unknown issues or even security issues.

Also Firefox still lacks isolatedProcess bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1565196

I’d imagine Firefox would enable Fission by default if it was actually ready.

Certbot is great. Let's Encrypt is great. ( lemmy.world )

I’ve been downloading SSL certificates from my domain provider, using cat to join them together to make the fullchain.pem, uploading them to the server, and myself adding a 90 day calendar reminder. Every time I did this I’d think I should find out about this Certbot thing....

@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Certbot is great when using Nginx (or Apache2), but if you can use a different engine. Its worthwhile checking out Caddy!

Big fan of Quaver, its a community-driven, and open-source competitive rhythm game.

Check out onlyoffice. Open source MS 365 alternative and yet to find any issues with it.

Yea but obviously he has a office 365 plan, so a alternative to the office suite for word processing etc is relevant.

Developer of Paaster.io here, always looking for Python or UI/UX contributes 💞

github.com/WardPearce/paaster

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Actually I did a Pros/Cons for Paaster compared to PrivateBin awhile ago here

github.com/privacyguides/…/2015

Basically the TL;DR Modern encryption, doesn’t expose metadata, modern design (svelte + asyncio python), pwa support, frontend / backend code separation & paste history.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Surprising good comparison from ChatGPT. Some key points is Paaster does support syntax highlighting & Markdown.

PrivateBin’s conversation system isn’t encrypted.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Aaah true, yea I was more meaning syntax highlighting for Markdown & not Markdown rendering. Thank you for the correction!

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Paaster doesn’t assume the users intent for the service. People can share a wide range of data in pastebins and users don’t always want this to be public.

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

We’ll obviously people are finding / needing a use for a service like this. Paaster has 340+ stars & a similar project Privatebin has 5.1k stars.

Sometimes you want to share data briefly with others or to only a specific groups of people (private forums, game lobbies etc) so being able to do so quickly and securely can be extremely useful.

Also this is a privacy page, why should your Pastebin data be stored in raw text and easily indexable by the host? Obviously pastebin data has the potential to be sensitive (look at the amount of people leaking things on pastebin.com)

Also data leaks do occur! Why should all your pastes be publicly viewable when you only intended to share it with people XYZ platform etc.

The fact your unable to imagine use cases and benefits of such services / projects honestly amazes me.

Ward OP , (edited )
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

And the paaster github even says you have to run your own instance for security and privacy.

It says a “instance you host or trust” this is true of any web app (including Proton etc.)

Even if you self host data leaks can occur.

The fact you don’t see the need for a encrypted pastebin only speaks to your limited imagination.

Matter of facts are, people share data not wanting it to be indexable or open to data leaks by the server, data in pastebins can be sensitive & people are using E2EE pastebins.

Here is a use case what matches all your arbitrary requirements. “User wants to share sensitive data over a insecure channel (like discord), they can send a Paaster link what deletes after view, so if Discord ever tries to view it in the future they cant see the data.”

E2EE now labeled security theater 🤣

Maybe your specific use case doesn’t benefit off E2EE, but can’t believe I have to explain this. You aren’t the center of the universe and use cases of E2EE pastebins aren’t limited to your specific use case.

Even pastebin.com sees the benefit of “private” pastes, but according to your logic this shouldn’t even exist too!

Anyways this conversation has lost any sense of productivity & obviously your care or understanding of privacy is minimal.

As a final question (what I don’t want a response to) is, should every paste ever always be accessible by everyone?.. Hopefully your answer is no & you can put 2 & 2 together.

Have a good day & use any data collecting, raw text, insecure platform you want!

Ward OP ,
@Ward@lemmy.nz avatar

Yea fundamentally the same idea. Paaster does use more modern encryption algorithms and libraries. Privatebin also stores more metadata about pastes readable by the host.
