anyone else have experience with this one?

Yeah true. I think what I’m looking for is a reasonable cost/benefit/time investment, like maybe I’ll order a Kanary scan once a year and manually opt them all out. I did kanary this afternoon and the vast majority only had my voter registration info, but a few had attached my cell number which might be from the WhoIs data. If I can slow the spread of that for <$20/year I’ll feel satisfied.
I see the logic if I was continually making potential leaks (I guess we all are), but for trying to clean up a specific thing like my case, I suppose I can just buy one month.
very cool thanks
Checking them out, thanks. I kinda wish there was a different pricing model than a subscription for this kind of service.
edit; after signing up i can actually see within the free tier that there’s a “buy custom scan” option which might allow more piecemeal payments, gonna look into it
i just realized i set up ente but put the login for it in my bitwarden. that kind of defeats the purpose. so i guess i would need to save the ente creds outside of bitwarden… then i need a second 2FA source for that… endless cycle…
Ente looks really nice but I wish it had a Firefox addon
so much chinese text
i’ve tried it, it’s soooo overdesigned. linkding works for me
i run ABS as a web based manager for drm free audiobooks but the player itself is just totally unreliable, i download the files and add them to BookPlayer on iOS
yeah i’m sure this top 1% acclaimed journalist had no other options
he should be ashamed of himself working for a16z. reactionary VC ghouls
I know this is somewhat defeating of the privacy purpose but I use FF because of sync- is there an alternative that can use something like webdav to sync my bookmarks/history/etc between instances? e; i know floccus is around for bookmarks but i find history useful too
weirdly if you search “website advertising preferences” in the firefox setting search bar nothing comes up, you have to manually scroll to find it
do you mean anything by this beyond his election chances? i’m failing to imagine what policies would change based on this
i’m genuinely curious about some alternatives to this sort of surveillance to solve issues like CSAM etc., which aren’t “it’s the parents responsibility”. section 230 reform? links to further reading appreciated.
i found this to be an interesting talk by a specialist on the way risks from these things are ranked and where the state of currect research is: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=vocvz6N6faI
the important takeaway for me was that "micro"plastics aren’t exactly microscopic
ars posted this article today: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/08/its-not-worth-paying-to-be-removed-from-people-finder-sites-study-says/
takeaways:
i ended up using kanary and optery in the free tier and doing the removals manually. but to follow up on my OP, there’s no service i’ve seen that goes any deeper than what comes up on google, which is disappointing. there are larger, private databases (such as lexisnexis) which was hoping to be able to get out of.
