"But I'm using Adblock!"
Yeah, neat, same.
AdBlock is blocking (On Reddit)
* GA
* Moat
* Amazon's ApStag
* DoubleClick
* Fullstory
Google Tag Manager is still firing, and Reddit's own tracking analytics is still working, you can block:
e.reddit.com
reddit.com/static/pixel.png
redditstatic.com/reddit-init
If you want to remove that as well.
So if you _happen_ to find yourself on someone elses' browser, and can access their cookies.
Well you probably shouldn't be able to do that anyway, but if you did, you could find their Reddit click history and their alt accounts.
Hah, I remember doing a short investigation into Reddit's user tracking a while ago.
Their tracking is like _significantly_ more overt and invasive than other websites I played around with. So when I do user tracking, I keep all of it on the log side and then join it up through cookie IDs.
Reddit just throws it into your cookies. Currently in my cookies on Reddit:
* Last Session URL Referrer
* LoggedIn Account last link clicks
* My Alt Account last link clicks
So they just tie all your alts together in your cookies.
On top of that they're using fullstory which is a default 'video track' type to view mouse movement and form fills.
this is such a fucking good answer, god john darnielle rules

The sermon today was basically about how culturally we're all set up to turn guilt ("I did something bad") into shame ("I am bad").
It's an interesting and I think valuable observation, especially since the first one is something you can fix, and the second is counter-productive.
There's a corollary these days, I think, especially in online groups, to do the flip side of it, seeing someone who did something bad and turning it into "you are bad".
I am confused by this winter wonderland nonsense that's going on.
@ksonney the bandwidth might be a bit much tbh, others use this network. Thanks :)
I'm sick of seeing this image in #image #processing #data sets, so I'm now filing issues. Feel free to copy-paste where you see fit. https://github.com/DmitryUlyanov/deep-image-prior/issues/19

@icefox Neat, thanks! I read a few of the guides and the software side seems to be just loading up things via docker, so that helps with the network-y side
y'all, is it worth getting a rasp pi just to host my own instance?
like I want to get more into the tech side of code, and I like the idea of having more understanding of masto stuff
