Sincere question - why is JavaScript required to sign up for Fastmail? Is it for browser fingerprinting? If so, what data is collected, how is it used and how long is it retained? No specific mention of it in the privacy policy. If I sign up in a virtual machine, can I later use Fastmail without running scripts?
Same here, but I have found wireless performance to be subpar. Ended up double-NAT'ing a second APU with Debian to use 802.11. Still plenty happy with OpenBSD though.
This statement has no effect when using Yubikey - the PIN is cached by the key itself and it will remain unlocked indefinitely until it's physically unplugged. See https://dev.gnupg.org/T3362
Anyone disillusioned by the thought that Apple values privacy would be well served by reading iOS, The Future Of macOS, Freedom, Security And Privacy In An Increasingly Hostile Global Environment - https://gist.github.com/iosecure/357e724811fe04167332ef54e73...
There is so much more to privacy than is made apparent to the user as a few OS knobs to "limit" ad tracking.
Characterizing this software feature as an "attack" or "backdoor" is pretty hyperbolic. In order to abuse multiplexing, the adversary needs local code execution ability, by which point you've already lost.
I doubt it's possible. I think Google uses the device browser (SFSafariViewController) to do OAuth, so users aren't asked to sign in in every application. No doubt they think this is a feature. Why not simply use Google Maps in an private browser window if you're looking to improve privacy? Or even better, check out OpenStreetMap.
I agree completely. These efforts to "break" end-to-end encryption seem entirely ineffectual so long as open source alternatives exist - they are plenty and well proliferated. Banning the use of unapproved software is impractical, like asking everyone to turn in guns. So what's really their end game?
I also experienced the gigabit performance issue (Debian 9 and 10, APU4C4); estimate a bandwidth cap of about 400 Mbps, too. I don't actually have a need to exceed that speed on my home network, so I'm still happy. But also curious if anyone has built a beefier, more capable open source hardware router that also isn't a power hog.
I've been using the APU2 platform for a home network router and can strongly recommend it. I especially like the open source firmware (coreboot) with frequent, signed releases. Wireless performance on OpenBSD was lackluster, so I'm back to running Debian for 802.11. Performance is strong even at full WAN bandwidth capacity of 400 Mbps.
