The wrong thing is that instead of going after doxxers, and reducing data collection to prevent leaks, they simply force the sites go to Tor network. And now Europeans want everyone to send a selfie and a passport to register at sites, whic

But they added ad clicks tracking API ("Attribution Reporting API") and interests tracking API ("Topics API") into the browser which work behind user's back and against their interests.

For privacy you should be using Matrix private chat with E2EE, no? So maybe we just need to add channels like in Telegram to Matrix?

Why don't you ask browser developers to stop adding features helping fingerprinting? Browsers even have some API for tracking ad clicks (attribution API or something) and user interests tracking API which nobody of the users needs.

I disagree, fingerprinting is necessary to track humans and it will be used regardless of scrapers being there or not.

Sites that are backed by a billion dollar company typically have better antibot protection, and lot of expertise in this. Also, patched browsers have existed since long ago, although they were not open-source.

by codedokode 2mo ago
That's the problem with many Linux distributions - their developers assume that you trust programs you run and if you run malware it is your fault. But you cannot trust commercial and closed-source programs so Linux is not ready for us

Then what's about using 4-8 cheapest motherboards with 64Gb DDR4 and a cheap CPU, and connecting them via PCIE x16 sockets? And as for DRAM channels, typical cheap motherboard has 2 channels and 4 slots, it should not be super difficul

> any costs for CPU, chip set, and motherboard redesign. Yes they spent those costs to switch from DDR4 to over-priced DDR5 and I suggested the cost could be spent on adding more DDR4 channels instead.

by codedokode 2mo ago
Why is that so?
207.
by codedokode 2mo ago
So what I am trying to say, industry took a wrong turn. Instead of moving to over-priced DDR5, they should just make even cheapest CPUs support 8/16 DDR4 channels. Because a 32Gb DDR5-4800 module costs $360, and two 32Gb DDR4-3200 modu

Please note that 8 x 16 Gb DDR4 modules cost $480, and have a bandwidth of 200 Gb/s, the only problem you need 8 DRAM controllers.

32 Gb DDR4 RAM module has a bandwidth of 25 Gb/s and costs $160. If you buy 8 of these, you get 256 Gb RAM with 200 Gb/s bandwidth at $1280. And if you buy 16 x 16 Gb modules (each at $60) then you can get 400 Gb/s of bandwid
