Nokiamies

nothing. It is good phone. Just funny how long end handsets kept similarities for long. There has been mostly slight modifications for series 30 UI. I actually got 1110 from 2004 or 2005 that shares same UI as that phone. I guess Nokia had perfect design for basic phones OS wise. That phone got horisontal UI scrolling while newer ones did vertically and new one got different battery and signal indicator but under hood share similar code and functionality. that was good price cut from 2005. Low budget phone before that was 1110 that was around 50 euros here when came out. 1280 was one of few last phones on market that did what phone supposed, make and recieve phone calls. Also monochrome screen is superior on dark and bright environment and makes battery last longer which is why 3330 and 6110 are my favorites

that like brand new compared to mine. Nokia 6110 from 1997 (old photo)

well I used to use 15GB quantum fireball LCT hdd that had plenty of bad sectors. I had to reinstall Windows many times whenever bad blocks were on same as Windows system files and hosed up. But it still chuigged along over 5 years I connected that hard drive and it had 25 sectors marked as bad and not remappable. LCT stands for low cost technology for reason and back in day bad sectors on drive were normal, this drive however had problem where controller overheated so much it turned into red . I saw that on friend once and though they were cold cathodes or led fan that was glowing

I said out of so called privacy options it is worst. Did I mention Chrome or Edge as alternatives? No. Many fall for Brave after Firefox thinking it is more private and secure and close their ears from facts. You choose trust some other evil than before but wont get rid of the evil. Few interesting facts like here that may also interest @Dixel https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.html here was some analysis from Brave on it default settings. http://tilde.club/~acz/shadow_wiki/browsers.xhtml#Brave here some more and if I did not prove enough here is last nail to coffin related to your comment You need account on uphold which privacy policy states that is same level of surveillance as Facebook for me. That is not anonymous or privacy respecting at all. If they did not do payment system to respect privacy can you trust anything else they say. take everything on internet with grain of salt even my sayings. My sayings are based on my and others research. I compare my test results to ones mentioned on websites. I do them on lab network with MITMproxy. And I can say Brave is as evil or even more evil than Mozilla. It is shilled everywhere for and they usually defend it with "Mozilla does bad things too". If someone does bad things it does not justify others to do bad things. If someone else steal car am I allowed steal one too? No. Brave, Mozilla Firefox, Protonmail etc. are mostly aimed for privacy normies so they can think they are on super secure platform that respect their privacy. Once you evolve with your technican knowledge you understand there is no such as privacy respecting provider. All that say so are liars. You wont trust any provider to handle your private stuff. First one I never heard about but that name suggest it is not private at all. Well I need fire up my lab again. GNU icecat is okayish but I rather recommend librewolf. Only thing it adds is libreJS that can also be downloaded other browsers. And librejs is pretty useless for privacy actually as it only cares from javascript licence and not what JS does in your system. Iridium got one problem that developers wont address and that is google safebrowsing https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/iridium.html That still exist on latest version of iridium. Why safe browsing is issue? Since browser needs to connect on Google servers to download file and that means excess connection. Also developers refuse to address issue saying "it only downloads them for local use". Safebrowsing always been obsolete since malware sites got so many domains ready. Once safebrowsing blocks one they add another. Vivaldi is huge red flag too. Here some more sauce to support my findings https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/vivaldi.html It sends telemetry that includes your profile unique ID, screen resolution and your IP. That is same fingerprinting as other violators. Also their developers don't care about user concerns. And forget about building it from source since there is no full source code that makes it not to be open source. So what browsers I should use? If you really need to use big browser use either Ungoogled Chromium or Librewolf (Firefox based). If you want something else UXP browsers like Palememe and and Basilik based browsers are great alternatives. Though vanilla versions have started limit user control but many forks still respect. And do not fall for built in privacy protections scam. Remember that developers whitelist trackers many times from built in protections. Use your own set of privacy addons like Umatrix/Ematrix, Decentraleye, Nocript, Ublock origin that gives you much better privacy. I welcome any actually privacy respecting browsers to be listed at end of first post. We need to give them that alternative I told to go for. And it does not have to be for "latest and (not so) greatest" OS. Lets take example from ff52 that is latest on XP and Vista with offical support. It got plenty of telemetry built in already like you know. And yes I know Windows phones home but I mitigated most of it on my personal rig and it is not as bad as with windows 10 or 11. Palememe based browsers are way better alternative or go minimal like Netsurf. I asked your opinion for other legacy supporting that non spyware browsers since you got experience with Chromium under older Windows versions.

Have you tried pipe viewer with MPV? That comobination is bloat free and allows play and search youtube on my EEEPC. I personally hate whole HTML5 video thing since compability is limited

what scares me is that nobody learnt anything and history keep repeating itself. Back in day there was no internet or other sources to do research today there is but everyone still think those are ok. You can easily find reality to those problems from internet but like you like seen nobody seems to bother

I left that since it some are too Mozilla diehards to leave that logo and bloated UI and brand behind, For those it is better to even try fix it if refuse to leave firefox. Believe or not I met too many that refused go away from Firefox no matter what. I even showed them what MITMPROXY showed and they said they got nothing to hide and did not accept any more counter arguments so I ended up fixing browser issues. Arkenfox user.js file bulk fixes most issues on FF but that is not ok for me. I personally cannot use Firefox anymore and really hate use when it is only browser loaded to workstation. I guess I am too spoiled for proper system menus, non cluttered UI and other things that I take granted on my personal workstations.

as far as I know there are no any XUL enabled browsers that got it. I never used that feature since only logged into one service at the time and when browser closes I clean cookies and other data. but in other hand they limit power of extension for altering browser for you taste. Feels that theming device is dying trend. Windows themes were able to alter icons, background, colors, cursors, sounds freely until XP and on XP needed create graphics for themes but was still possible. My nokias can do plenty of customisation on colors or even change battery level icon into something stupid if really want that. Firefox used to be all about customisation. Nowadays themes usually change few colors and add background graphic and that is all. Well I guess most users do not care from that anymore and are happy to put up whatever company decides. Well there is always seamonkey that can do better customisation. What seems strange many ff diehards seems to mock anyone who want to use browser with XUL addons. I can understand some benefit of Webextension but killing them totally was stupid decision. Biggest reason for me to hate Chromium is not engine itself rather same reason why I really hate Internet Explorer, company behind it tries push their broken standards down everyone throat causing plenty of compability issues. Many say gecko engine is like internet explorer to support today. No Chromium is Internet Exploiter of this decade. Back in day same was said Netscape/Mozilla just because INTERNET EXPLORER AND IT DEVELOPEMENT TOOLS USED BROKEN STANDARDS. I do not want world with only one browser engine because that point competition has died (what competition though like there has been any actual competition for long long time....)

I found out Youtube automatically remove some comments too for same criteria. I had my comments deleted because watched video on Pipe-Viewer and MPV under linux and logged into youtube to comment then logged out. Same happened when used invidious and went to youtube. Also certain words are hard banned like faggot which is does even mean insult on some use cases, but according youtube it does

https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/update-to-youtube/ in short youtube will be hiding dislike button because "We want to create an inclusive and respectful environment where creators have the opportunity to succeed and feel safe to express themselves. This is just one of many steps we are taking to continue to protect creators from harassment." I will state my opinion first about it. These days I am mostly using Youtube trough Pipe-Viewer or Invidious and rarely login into offical site to do anything. I did not know youtube did any testing on hiding dislikes until read that.Back in day youtube had star rating that gave very good image from video if was good or not but sadly that was taken away in favor of like and dislike system which was still ok. Originally dislike/like ratio had red/green bar where green was likes and red dislikes. That itself showed if video was worth looking. It like star system was simple way to state your opinion from video without leaving comment. Now youtube is planning to remove dislike button because it is apparently offending some when they get dislikes. Another step for walled garden. Really if biggest worry in someone life is that someone dislikes your video and wont have worries from finances, work or anything else I would be more than happy take that person position. If you cant take any critic do not make any contect or state your opinion. I am ready to take critic from my saying and it wont ruin my day or life. I may be angry for reading some personally insulting criticing nosense but it is someone opinion that makes that person look stupid. Cant people these day stand any critics?! I guess next whole dislike button is remove for good and next goes comments and likes and everything else... what are other opinion on this?

Librewolf does as far as I am aware. It is Firefox without all nasty stuff and includes more privacy features like addon firewall (control addon traffic)

what really bothers me is that one article there states SystemD to be good for standardising init and other systems. SystemD is horrible and limits user freedom for choosing system to use. Also when SystemD had bug Redhat developers were very unprofessional with their responses and made Linus Torvalds mad and he stated that would not contribute for Redhat anymore. Also statement that automatic forced updates are good for security. Those has been used to abuse and caused system failures at worst. Second thing bothering me is statement there is no more secure distros and that there has not been breaches on linux users. or faster or more customiable linux distros and all are equal. I disagree with that. If that is case something like Qubes OS does not do anything to improve security by virtualising all processes to containers. Also some distros includes ssh or vnc on by default that can be security risk. And should I mention Openssl library had vurneability that allowed hacker download small amount of data from victim machine? Some distros with same desktop are faster by default since they include less background clutter that makes stuff crawl. Lets compare my default Devuan with XCFE vs Xubuntu and Devuan is faster on slow hw and uses less ram since it wont have automatic updates, telemetry or other junk. Also some distros limit customiability. What is I want change my init system? Too bad that most systemd distros wont allow it while Devuan allowed pick it during setup or could do it afterwards too. And third and worst was this is that article written by some intelligent agency or just by dumb person? Let start with the obvious. If I configure my linux distro for miminal how it will be less private than Windoze 10 64bit? Also TOR identification sure is possible but if you configure browser correctly it is less likely. You should set slider to safest mode on browser so it will block all js by default. Also if you are super worried from fingerprinting use Whonix or Tails linux. Does that person even know how Tor or VPN works. VPN that refers to so called "anonymity service" is just using VPN protocol to route your traffic trough different IP that is usually logged. And VPN is not designed for anonymity. VPN was originally designed for secure remote access for corporate network. It is still used for that atleast on my workplace. If I work from home I need use VPN to access some data. Where did this VPN for anonymity came from? TOR in other hand routes data trough 3 nodes run by volunteers before exiting to network or reaching either internet or onion service. First node can see your ip but not traffic. Last node can see reguested data but not your IP. Sure there is ways to sniff that traffic with malicious nodes or try fingerprint browser but those are not always the case. So that article states that is is more private to use Windoze 10 with keylogging and other features with Google Chrome spyware or Firefox which nasty issues I mentioned here https://msfn.org/board/topic/183138-mozilla-has-turned-into-evil-mitigate-problems-or-go-to-alternatives/ Windows got your MAC address and real ip and keylog all strokes to Microsoft and you wont block JS while trying be anonymous and that is safer and more private than linux? Just use spyware to be private that went bit long rant but that site deserves worst contect overall award from me . I have seen way more professional artcles that lists real issues with linux and one I cannot find right now at says at the end "there is lot better things on linux compared to Windows but problems are usually overlooked" that is true and still addresses main issue unlike any article on that site. I started moving into Linux when Windoze 8 came out. I never liked from MS making UI looks like tablet. Also somewhere around that time GNOME on Ubuntu took same approach but guess what great thing I learnt that day? On linux I HAVE THE CHOICE OF UI. I was able swap out for XCFE and that was great. Also found Mate desktop that is great too. Then I started explore other distros and I was hooked. I had all keys for control and was able break my setup few times but hey atleast it allows me to do anything I want for OS. Also I got plenty of hw that cannot run Windoze 10. For example my EEEPC 900 with 16gb ssd (now 256gb). When had 16gb I was able use Devuan with 4gb install footprint including programs I needed. On other hand Windows 10 takes that 16 and even more for bloat. For me question do I want use linux or Windows answer is both. I like to use older Windows for gaming and it very reliable softwares and use Linux for some other things like banking. While I like linux Windows before Windoze 8 got special place on my heart.

graphics cards sucks. Get rid of them and use system headless with ssh There is also Web Browser (palemoon fork) for linux that works great. Problem is I had issues getting all depencies under Devuan linux yet so only made it work on other test machines. Here is source of it if want try compile it. I have been planning give salix a shot but linux biggest issue is depencies and if some package is not available on other distro you need to compile it and will have depency hell. That is biggest slowdown on changing distro compared changing windows version where there is usually some version

I need something someone could search so those wont work. Figured out anyway. But first one would have been but as you said would not pass moderation . Edit I changed name. If this is find by too many people on internet I will get lot new haters. Liked or not that title is still true Interesting is my install of Mypal or Webbrowser did not do those requests with either MITMPROXY with snooping cert (decrypts all) or Prcoess hacker. did you mitigate palememe?

I cannot even say who they are with due their holiday shopping guide that is definitely not honest opinion. Microsoft is one of last companies I trust with anything

give me better title and I will update it

I forget to link that file and good that you added to that mitigate part but I still stay behind this Mozilla had made me mad enough already. And feels pointless to even see any effort with it anymore...well librewolf was recommend by me for reason security is sorta two pipe thing to me (means it is sorta both). More simple and smaller codebase and less features increases security too. Palemoon lacks webrtc and EME for example that are commonly used on exploting along with WASM (palemoon got it on toggle setting tab and no need use about:config) and JS. On other hand memory hardening and isolation increase security but remember that Mozilla previously whitelisted some trackers so I cannot see reason for them not to add backdoor for protection for those trackers. PS. Fun to actually have some counter arguments with actual arguments. If I would say same on any other place would be eaten alive by mozilla fans

Yeah I know that title is not best in the world, but could not get better one into my head. And now it may feel bit clickbait too This board has not have yet any topics about Mozilla/Firefox problems and I decided to make one. This topic purpose is not to shill some firefox alternative like brave or say anything based on gecko engine is bad rather address real problems related Mozilla corporation. I used to be huge firefox fan but lot been going wrong since it. lets start with first and biggest one which is false claims. Mozilla is not people first not profit like they claim. Mozilla foundation sure exist but behind it is mozilla corporation that does profit with marketing deals and also they laid off 250 developers around same time when Mozilla ceo took himself nice paycheck (someone look article from that since was not able find it on quick search anymore). Also Mozilla pretends to be against Google and care from you privacy BUT website privacy policy says against it. so they implemented google invisible recaptcha and google and yahoo trackers on their site. That is caring from privacy right? Also firefox uses google as default search engine Now lets move to browser itself. I wont put tons of stuff here but if someone wants read more Spyware watchdog got good article about it. First issue is Firefox uses google analytics on browser (source) and developers ignored that saying they wont use it for datamining. Sure I trust google about not doing it. Then there is pocket feature which according privacy policy does allow insert personalised ads into stories saved to pocket. Also you need firefox account to use it. Then there is Google safebrowsing which make browser to download address database from Google servers. I explained on other thread why that feature is useless in real life and is only privacy threat. Also Firefox advertises addons during browsing by default By default Mozilla collects telemetry from following I think there is enough from Mozilla privacy issues and time to move for other issues. First one is addon blocking which Mozilla admit they wont care from your choice and want "protect" you https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/add-ons-blocking-process/ Then there was dropping XUL addons in favor of Webextensions. Problem with webextensions is they are way more limited than XUL addons were. Take example from Classic theme restorer developer if wont believe my word on it again they want limit what you can do and are ready to ignore what users want. Then there is issues related UI changes. Mozilla has been renewing firefox UI multiple times without giving option to go back old look. I absolutely hate new Bloatfox theme. It takes too much screen space for no good reason and removal of most icons on menu makes it harder to navigate. Before you were able to fix it but Mozilla killed XUL addons so not anymore Sure someone will pull you can disable them but why bother fixing something that turns more spyware on every update? Some alternatives I would recommend: Palemoon based browsers. I cannot recommend using vanilla Palemoon for multiple reasons that most here likely know but codebase of browser is solid and Newmoon/Mypal on Windows and webbrowser on linux. Those are best if you need lightweight browser without webrtc or other. Those forks also runs down to vanilla Windows XP Also Basilik is pretty good browser. I recommend disable addon blocklist on both of those If you really want to use latest Firefox based browser: Librewolf which is firefox with telemetry and propieraty blobs removed. Problem with that is they are depent on Mozilla and code grows all the time so it will be uphill battle If you want to use latest Chromium based browser Ungoogled Chromium which removes Google stuff from Chromium. That like librewolf is they are in uphill battle If you want to use chromium on XP: I cannot say anything here since only used goanna based browsers so @ArcticFoxieand @Dixel who got experience can help me out with this one Honorable Mention: Seamonkey I have been using that for while on linux to see how good it is and have to say it is very decent browser and not done by paid Mozilla Employees. It UI makes sense, support classic addons and theming. If you plan use it please follow mitigation guide for maxium privacy. That is way better than firefox on default options, but I recommend still do tweaks Browsers I cannot recommend at all. Waterfox: While it claims to support your privacy it spies on you as much or more as firefox and if that wont convince you it was sold to advertising company Brave: That gotta be absolutely worst out of all options analysis. It has fake cryptocurrency system that needs personal information, it got lot of telemetry, it offers it own "privacy respecting ad platform" which injects ads into webpage. Also it is shilled way too often and you should NEVER trust shilled products. If you want secure and private pick one that does actually well pick one that is as minimal as can and select your own addon set (tampermonkey, umatrix, ublock origin, noscript, decentraliseye) and you got pretty good setup Please add any findings or alternatives I missed

Soon there will be only HTTPS as option and companies wont allow you to access http sites to "protect you". One thing Mozilla fails to protect me from though is from burning nerves when launch firefox with new bloat ui. That is horrible to use on small laptop. It is like mozilla showing middle finger and saying "I do not care from your opinion or if you want functional UI" Ok now to the topic of this artcile. I did some correction and I also tested it on my lab pc that and it indeed block me from reading actually informative site that just happened to lack HTTPS. Good job keeping me on wallen garden. HTTP does not equal malware sites. Most malware sites got HTTPS these days so that tells nothing. it wont on me on either cases since I wont let browser scan files I download but when scanned files using local antivirus it infected executable. I recommend block scripts overall by default. HTTPS does not mean js cannot do harmful things to your machine. All it takes is one link to land on infected site. Also if I modify CDN or other provider site uses I can use that to load bad script no matter if got HTTPS or not If you feel like my purpose is to mean for you, it is not. I am not any casual with safety. I have done lot of pentesting and test runs of exploits and know how they work. I can grab nice amount from victim system with javascript only. Point why I keep saying false protection is because they assume everyone are equally stupid and wont give advanced user option to choose. We made web disaster it is now and try patch around without actually adminitting core mistake, browser running unauthorised program code on cpu is horrible idea. And there is need for encrypted connection for sure on sites like banking and others but not every single simple site. There is many older and embedded systems that cannot do TLS and are locked out from internet for that. I also enforce HTTPS whenever can but sometimes cannot. If HTTPS is not issue why does frogfind search engine exist that cripples it along with other bloat? Also when I say victim I mean my own virtual machine or person who asked me to do the testing on isolated lab network, not someone unknown. I don't abuse my computer knowledge

Correct, Norton speedisk is paid software. I got it since had few cd of norton systemworks that had it. Most of utils were useless to me but windoctor and speeddisk were very useful. I am not sure if norton bundled it seperately. That suite got Norton antivirus and I hate norton antivirus. Luckily can opt out. Norton 2003 internet security was decent but 2006 was nightmare. Well so was avast 4.7 before bloatvast 5.0 came out, best could be maybe set up own fileserver. I have been thinking do so some point on future. Then could ftp files there. Biggest things is find good vps, good domain provider and hope wont get DDOS:ed. that brought back memory from last year. I was working on modchipping my original xbox when found mentions from fire hazard on Foxlink psu (foxconn owned company). Later found it was due cold joint on power plug that caused short circuit. MS way fix it was not replace faulty psu rather send you cord with circuit breaker. Mine was close to hazard so was good I applied some fresh (leaded) solder to it and been good so far. Also fun fact is that xbox was comparable to desktop computer on parts for the era. It had Pentium 3 with half of cache, 64mb ram and Geforce 2 based gpu and Windows 2000 kernel. It was popular in modding for that reason.

Forced protections like automatic updates without ability to opt out, blocking addons, safebrowsing are false security/privacy features. I do not want browser treat me like baby and recist what I can do with it. If I want will load all possible adware and spyware plugins and only visit phishing sites I should be allowed do so. It is not browser vendor problem if user that stupid. For me privacy and security are hand to hand. If privacy is lost so is security. Lets say you enable feature than pings to company all the time to protect you from "bad sites" (sure they wont harm you with that data) and company gets breached and all of your browsing data with IP address and mac address they have collected is leaked there goes security.... I wish browsers would be as recistive limiting developers from doing whatever they want with browser. That would actually help for security. "Hey lets make program language that allow web browser do stuff without user consect since I can see zero abuse risk on that". Most of web browser security issues are self caused by adding stuff that DOES NOT BELONG to be web browser. For me problem on those protections is someone else decides what is safe and what is not safe for me and caused biased opinions many times. For example Palememe blocks Noscript because Moonchildish devs got mad to noscript devs for no good reason. And reason to be blocked is it breaks sites. It sure breaks sites but that is because sites got too much js and noscript like name suggest is script blocker

for me 1.8l DOCH engine feels like bare minium since I will use highway a lot. SOCH is fine if got Variable Valve Timing, but 99% town driving you wont need any of those yeah all we now needed was more rapidly pushed nosense. How we get needed energy without using wood or peat? Nuclear power or should I say nucdirty power? Sure that is 100% safe and not like soviet or japan taught us how safe it is and definitely did not lead to disasters. Why we have to cut our energy independence to "save climate"?

I recommend what @Dixelrecommend. I have been cleared smart alert on some disks. Sometimes bad blocks are not remapped by controller when should be i recommend same too. I generally had bad experience with seagates. WD blue (7200rpm 1tb model with idle parking off) and wd black never let me down. Funny that my 20gb seagates from early 2000 got zero issues while had plenty of issues with newer ones

well remember that mozilla says they respect user freedom but mozilla also said this https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/add-ons-blocking-process/ so they admit "protecting" is more important than allowing user have freedom. that was just slightly scratching surface from mozilla issues and agree belongs to it own thread

Well Ford and Dell got some in common. Both used to do high quality stuff but since then started cut corners and turned into unreliable short lifespan products. Dell uses cheap caps on mainboard and their cases are propieraty so no way change case easily. I hope you and your machine will have long lifespan together . PS. that desktop is interesting looking still. It looks like mix of Windows XP and Windows 7 to my eye
