Aren’t all search queries available to whoever hosts an instance? In my eyes this is much worse to privacy and a much bigger risk unless you really know who is behind your chosen instance. I would trust some a company a bit more with safeguarding this information so it does not leak to some random guy.
Keepass2Android supports many cloud options including Nextcloud and OwnCloud so it sync with storage directly. At least with Dropbox it works like a charm.
Any reason why Firefox is not under Browser section?
I would personally also add original KeePass, Notepad++ and ShareX (Maybe also Greenshot). These are Windows only, but great pieces of software.
It’s basically this when you see that sticker.
Besides the MAC lookup suggestion, have you tried to simply find hostname in local DNS by reverse IP lookup, maybe that would shed some light.
Not sure if there is anything useful, but in browser just check site source, maybe there is something useful there that could help with identification. Does site have certificate? It might include info that would help with identification. Do the standard browser network trace via dev tools F12, maybe something useful appears there.
In nmap you can attempt to guess OS, try that. Additionally it might be possible to get hostname as well.
And have you checked your router to see if this connection is connected to your Wi-Fi AP or Ethernet to narrow things down? If it is not possible to determine this from router, simply connect your main PC to Ethernet, disable AP in router settings and check if IIS site is still up. If it is not, enable AP again, does it come back early or it takes some time?
Lastly, if it still is a mystery, start powering off devices one by one to find the source. Based on comments it seems you have multiple devices, but I assume it would not take that long?
While decentralised systems can be useful it will not be the future. Initially everything was decentralised and then we moved to centralised systems because they are easier to manage, easier to secure, cheaper. The main benefit for decentralisation is that you are not tied to single organization that dictates all the rules. If reddit would have better management, I would move back.
Doubt it, because we have ″Microsoft Government″
Same setup here. Will check what’s the state with new Locus version, maybe it finally has something that will win me over. I do not mind it being subscription too much, makes sense for continuous development, depends how much it is though.
Could it be due to data quality?
I personally use specialized local app for public transportation that gets data directly from public transport provider (their official app is lacking), check if you have one in your region. Routes and timetables are always correct this way.
Main gameplay seems to be exactly the same as in Adventure Island
Storage is another issue. Will you store / seed random YT videos on your PC? You need to make sure you have enough copies so things are available and that there is adequate bandwidth so you do not wait multiple minutes for video to start.
Reliable video sharing sites with tons of content like YT / Vimeo makes sense only being centralized and they must have some kind of monetization like ads or subscriptions.
It’s often either mentality or high workload. Higher pay will not help in these situations. There are bad corporations and also bad workers.
True, although I think there usually are either signs or site admins give heads up when site is soon to go under. Doubt Reddit or Twitter will be dead any time soon.
I honestly do not think Internet Archive even should be archiving such behemoths like Reddit or Twitter. Only thing it should keep would be currently dead sites.
Even worse when people are accessing these posts through Archive even when there is a live copy. A lot of storage and bandwidth wasted.
Industry standard solution that protects companies against malware is malware? Any proper AV will have unrestricted access to system. Only other option is for companies to completely lock down your device.
So what you are saying you want a shitty AV that would not recognize a potentially malicious executable? Any normal AV should flag crack as a potential threat due to what it does.
Stick with Defender and whitelist executables you trust. This is computing 101.
Talking here about regular x64 OS install not ARM though, have not played with that myself.
Not really, it is usually PowerShell scripts from trusted blogs or in case of local account creation, you run a batch file that is built in installer (oobe\bypassnro) that adds a single registry value. Not sure I would call this hacking. Then again I don’t think Linux 10 years again had problems with account creation as well.
Would be nicer if you could create local account out of the box? Sure. Do some prefer MS account? Also true.
You don’t even have to pirate Windows. Without activation everything will work besides some customization (I think you could not change wallpaper) which you can easily bypass if you would really wish to.
Thanks for clarification and great that this is not included in project, but couldn’t someone change the server side code and somehow see more info that goes through?
I know there is that HTML check in https://searx.space/ to see if search interface code is not heavily modified, but on server side anything could go on.
If requests are encrypted in a way that searxng does not see contents then it probably is not trivial to do, but there always is a possibility something clever could be done.
