Yeah, it is the same reason as to why there is almost zero publicity about browser fingerprinting nor any effort to properly address it only bullshit "private browsing mode" "tracking protection" etc that doesn't actually stop the latest and most high tech forms of tracking users. 0xDF372A17.asc Description: application/pgp-keys ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] It's far from being over. Sigh!
I never thought of it that way, now it's mentioned that seems exactly right to me. Again with flash, I felt this was always pushed by commercial entitites because it was convenient for advertisers and trackers. You basically "needed" it then it was used to shove ads in your face. Some of us have started working on documenting the alternatives here: https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php/community:alternative_browsers My favourites so far are uzbl, and netsurf.. and anything that doesn't require a login works well with lynx or w3m.

Try one of those to see if it's still happening. golinux ___ Thanks for the suggestion. It occured to me that I might be able to remove the Broadcom adapter card from the C700 and that the netinst.iso might then see the usb d-link adapter which just might work ootb. Without changing the netinst.iso image, I'm now typing on the fresh install of ascii on the C700. I will refresh the netinst.iso and retry with the Broadcom adapter. Of course, I could now install the firmware required by the Broadcom adapter, switch in back in and go. But the more important issue at this point is to get the netinst.iso working in the case where the sneeker net has to be used to provide it with the non-free licensed firmware on a removable device (usb).

FYI, ifupdown is (still) installed by default but a simple `apt-get install ifupdown` will put it in place if necessary. # I have a habit of marking all installed automatic after the initial # installation and configure APT to purge any unnecessary packages, # occasionally even telling it to ignore Recommends: # If you do that ifupdown may get purged. > If you have a wifi interface, it is more complicated.

Made my take a look at what wicd was doing under the covers. Should have done so a lot earlier ;-) It puts snippets for your wireless interface(s) below /var/lib/wicd/configurations/ and uses those to run wpa_supplicant like so wpa_supplicant -B -i $if -c /var/lib/wicd/configurations/$mac where $if is the interface name, typically wlan0. The $mac is the MAC address of the wireless access point, lower-cased, no : separators. You can use the files in /var/lib/wicd/configurations/ to seed your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicaton.conf file. As for the group, the user that installed the system is a member of the netdev group by default, I think. Looks like a good default choice to me, unless wpa_supplicant has special requirements. Definitely more nowadaisy than dialout (or dip) :-) BTW, group "definitions" can be found in file://usr/share/doc/base-password/user-and-groups.txt.gz (outdated?) https://wiki.debian.org/SystemGroups I'm off now, reconfiguring my wireless setup.
