Well, undiscovered vulnerabilities are kind of a special case. You can’t do anything about those except turn off your pc entirely. Using NoScript isn’t necessarily going to help with those.

Browser JavaScript is already sandboxed, so there is a limit to the info that can be accessed, though it does expose some of basic information you’ve listed.

To the best of my knowledge, the only items that can be accessed from the ones you listed are:

• current time (by creating a Date object)
• operating system and version (though this is usually not precise info and only provides a rough version)

an example of the info that can be accessed (via the navigator property) for a Windows pc is:

# platform = Win32
# appCodeName = Mozilla
# appName = Netscape
# appVersion = 5.0 (Windows; en-US)
# language = en-US
# mimeTypes = [object MimeTypeArray]
# oscpu = Windows NT 5.1
# vendor = Firefox
# vendorSub = 1.0.7
# product = Gecko
# productSub = 20050915
# plugins = [object PluginArray]
# userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

As you can see it’s not a whole lot of information. Certainly there is no way to get the serial number or other hardware information. Also, local files cannot be accessed without permission.

There are some user agent spoofer addons that will change the user agent string. I am not sure but i imagine some of those also allow overriding this navigator information to anonymize that data further. Preventing accessing the user’s time zone would be pretty impossible though given how the Date object works.

DDG uses Bing under the hood for the main results, so it doesn’t really matter too much in terms of results.

73%. Glad I’m still able to do a decent job at it.

Yes, i really wish there was a good way to do pixelfed relaying.

You need to follow people for their posts to federate to your server. Posts won’t federate until you’re following a user and they make a post, or boost a post. Also, old posts won’t federate unless they are boosted/reblogged/shared. This is also how Mastodon works.

I recommend following as many people as you can, especially people who boost a lot, and following the people who are being boosted.

It takes a lot of effort to start the process up.

Also make sure that the AP and federation features are turned on in the env file, as i believe by default they are off with pixelfed.

vandalizing a Tesla is such a bad idea given that they are rolling surveillance machines

Generally the fediverse is not designed to import identities. Every instance has its own set of identities and you can’t log in across instances like that. You can access posts, but can’t use another instance to post. It’s a matter of trust. The original instance has no way to trust the second instance with your credentials/the authority to post on your behalf.
