One thing is flagging (just like this), another thing is showing a different version of the site based on the user, the latter is scammy and is meant to give users the felling that their post is there (while it's not) but no one is looking at it.

Showing a different website to users is something really nasty.

What about this? https://blog.icecatbrowser.org/blog/20231221/application-net...

This was also hidden...

I believe this was my last interaction with this service. Thanks for hiding my contributions, i'm done.

A link aggregator that can decide which links to show. It wasn't anything controversial just a video showing unsolicited connections made by firefox, to support my theory that browsers developers contribute to mass surveillance.

Can you see it?

this was the url:https://blog.icecatbrowser.org/blog/20240702/what-does-firef...

I'm gonna comment next with the url i was trying to promote and see if others can see it too

But it was just posted, and it never showed up on my phone. I suspect there is more to this and I'm having very bad feelings about HN Now.

Please help me out here, otherwise i will have to think that HN is against free speech

Just let go on these spyware.

Report to facebook for?

Facebook has no authority in this, except to remove them from their contents. Facebook has instead a board of greedy people who want to maximize their income, regardless.

It probably is a way of circumventing some browser settings that like: ``` Isolate requests to First Party domains ```

It doesn't sound right, and honestly i don't need to tell you that they can change the contents there whenever they want, or start a mail server sending emails on behalf of your subdomain(?)

I mean i can see countless reasons not to.

Not to mention competitors who want to de-rank your domain.

The human nature is bad, "homo hominis lupus" said a guy....

New version 115.7.0esr for GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac

You mean make Bind capable of creating TXT records for letsencrypt?

Yes, Mailinabox works surprisingly well, not to mention that it takes care even of requesting and deploying SSL Certificates.

Did you use a turnkey solution like Mailinabox or Ireadmail?

I never got blacklisted using the same domain and server for more that 4 years now. What was your provider? Sometimes you get an ip address that is blacklisted already... I use Hetzner or Privex

I personally self host

- email

- a couple meta search engines (librex and searxng)

- a couple of invidious instances

- an xmpp server for chatting with friends

- an openvpn instances

- tor as dns resolver

- pihole as dns blocker (even locally on my laptop)

- jitsi for video meetings

- some webservers (i don't do AWS or similar stuff)

- translation service

- pastebin

- nitter

- gothub

-nextcloud for pictures, address book from my phone (GrapheneOs)

Gnu Icecat, so far the only one that does not connect to anything except what the user types in address bar.

If having someone reading your email is ok to you, then having some AI reading your email must be the biggest security upgrade in years.

from a self hosted person this sounds hilarious, what do you think? Why don't you self host your email for few bucks per month?

Indeed, i have to say at first that Gnu cannot endorse me although they know that I'm trying to distribute binary builds and installer for all major platform, they are OK with that and using the product name.

I also make available the Icecat source tarball (a beast of over 1.2gb) for those who want to check it out and go from there.

The Firefox extension store you see linked in that site, is from GNU and is not a simple mirror but it is a curated selection of extensions for Foxy based browsers.

I'm really glad to know that this is useful, I've been working hard both on the update of Icecat from 102 to 115 (july to september providing preliminary patches to gnu) and also on the builds (still on it).

Thanks for taking a look and for your interest.

I quit facebook, and voila' my privacy concerns are gone at once. I also quit whatsapp. I self host my email since years, so i don't have to use other people computers and let them read my emails. I also self host an xmpp server for chatting with my friends.

You know it seems to me that people spend a lot of time trying to solve a non existing problem, in this endless entropy.

Just let go, already.

Hi, I thought that some of you guys would like to use Gnu Icecat, but don't have time to build it yourself. Here we go, and ask me anything about the project.
