Struggling with all-or-nothing mindset in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So many great comments here, from thinking people who often struggle with the same thing. I have my own story with its ups and downs.

My view of privacy these days for the most part is of owning my data. If my information is on my own server/devices and off the cloud then I have it private for the most part.

This can sound contradictory at times, for example: Signal is not private to me because my chats and data is still only available through their app and only their app, and a plain text file ilcan be more private if only stored locally. For the most part though, this model works and allows me to think id something is intended to be private or public.

DDG and app tracking blocking in c/[email protected]

I see, thanks! Even if it doesn't work, it shows what it's blocking based on an open source list of people updating it constantly. This is good.

DDG and app tracking blocking (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm wondering how many are trying this out and if someone with the right skills here (or elsewhere) actually tested it.

From a quick looks it does the job well. I wonder how it works exactly (has a list of known IP addresses and blocks traffic to those? Does it follow what information other apps are collecting, if so, probably means DDG collects it all? Etc)
