type-iix | And so I won't be investing in a QubesOS laptop | 01:40:33 |
type-iix | The lack of any migration support | 01:41:03 |
type-iix | Leaves a bad taste in my mouth | 01:41:09 |
type-iix | Sad, because technically it's great | 01:41:14 |
type-iix | But practically, terrible | 01:41:19 |

Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | In reply to @type-iix:tchncs.de The lack of any migration support Wait, what? | 22:14:20 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | In reply to @type-iix:tchncs.de I have found adrelanos to be cavalierly dismissive Well, I can't attest to the helpfulness of any Whonix developers, but Qubes isn't maintained by the same people as Whonix, and IME Qubes' developers are very helpful | 22:17:04 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | People often talk about Qubes+Whonix as though it's just a way of running Whonix. Which is unfortunate, because that's unfair to both Qubes and Whonix | 22:20:03 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | Qubes is far more than just a glorified hypervisor to run Whonix on top of | 22:20:35 |
rolodondo34 | has anybody heard Creepjs? | 23:17:04 |
rolodondo34 | it is a browser fingerprint tool | 23:17:14 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | Yeah, it's fairly well-known | 23:17:15 |
rolodondo34 | o losiento | 23:17:25 |
rolodondo34 | it works on Tor Browser? | 23:17:35 |
rolodondo34 | it was coded by who? | 23:18:03 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | It works on every browser. The question is whether how much useful information it's able to gather | 23:18:12 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | Well, any JS-enabled browser | 23:18:32 |
rolodondo34 | it uses entropy? | 23:18:41 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | I suppose you could say that | 23:19:21 |
rolodondo34 | what is the most vulnerable fingerprinting property of Tor Browser | 23:20:08 |
rolodondo34 | a high entropy API? | 23:20:15 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | The fact that it needs to work on different operating systems | 23:20:49 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | If Tor Browser only worked on a single very specific OS, it would be entirely impossible to fingerprint. It would also be basically useless to the large majority of users | 23:21:26 |
rolodondo34 | si claro | 23:21:56 |
rolodondo34 | this javascript property can be changed? | 23:22:22 |
rolodondo34 | user/agent? | 23:22:27 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | In reply to @chile09:matrix.org this javascript property can be changed? Tor Browser has 3 security levels: Safe, Safer, and Safest | 23:22:54 |
Babba27's Evil Twin (DriftNotSkid) [they|them] (🕊️ Lena) | Safest mode disables JS entirely within Tor Browser | 23:23:04 |
rolodondo34 | si | 23:23:35 |
