Bane of the javascriptless:

Getting around anubis'd websites in (not just) links2.

If you enable the "Fake Firefox (improves privacy)" option in links2 (Setup - Network Options - HTTP options - Header options), links2 then pretends to be the tor browser, imitating the same headers and user-agent - this results in websites that use anubis to bully you and expecting the completion of some javascript challenge. If you do not enable this option, you can get around the annoying anime girl.

Presumably you could use the links2 user-agent in any other browser. I suppose this is true for lynx as well.

> Links (2.28; NetBSD 9.3 amd64; GNU C 7.5; text)

You can also use wget's user-agent, which currently lets you get past anubis as well.

> Wget/1.25.0

You can check what headers your browser is sending at https://wtfismyip.com/headers .

...

To try this in firefox - go to about:config, add `general.useragent.override' and paste in the links2 user-agent string.

@homohortus

"Nous devons repenser notre relation à la technologie ..."

That's one of the (many) boundaries that I understand @prahou 's #unix_surrealism has been pushing.

" ... privilégiant des outils qui renforcent l’autonomie et la liberté plutôt que le contrôle et la dépendance."

and that's what I have found on @prahou 's #serpico and @neauoire 's #uxn

But that's me.

I agree with your article, in full. We have been deprived of our individualism and objectivized to inhumane levels.

#alpacino in #Serpico 1973
Frank Serpico is an idealistic New York City cop who refuses to take bribes, unlike the rest of the force. Frank's actions get him shunned by the other officers and often placed in dangerous situations by his partners. When his superiors ignore his accusations of corruption, Frank decides to go public with the allegations.

Many of his fellow officers considered him the most dangerous man alive: an honest cop.

No Javascript Browser fingerprinting - experimental warfare in #links2

https://automa.triapul.cz/nojs-fingerprinting/

...

edit: just a side note, thanks to another fellow links2gangster, you can supply links2 with some completely arbitrary header, which will change the fingerprint: ie

links -g -http.extra-header "Accept: $RANDOM/$RANDOM" https://noscriptfingerprint.com/

But I suppose the best practice would be to rotate real (useless?) headers, as this will potentially make the browser stand out.

Thanks @smoon

One of the first observers to recognize the impact of NSA’s capabilities in the emerging digital landscape was #David #Burnham,
-- a pioneering investigative journalist and author who passed away earlier this month at 91 years of age.

While the obituary that ran at his old home,
The New York Times, rightly emphasized Burnham’s ground-breaking investigations of police corruption and the shoddy safety standards of the nuclear power industry
(depicted, respectively, in the films “#Serpico” and “#Silkwood”),

those in the digital rights world are especially appreciative of his prescience when it came to the issues we care about deeply.

Export subscriptions from an #invidious or #piped account and use the newsboat #rss reader to watch videos.

This will mostly only make sense if you use the aforementioned services, but maybe it can inspire you to use an rss reader to watch videos anyway.

edit: actually the parsing of the invidious file is different, I added it now (use the opml export).
