  • could be defeated by doing an analysis of when the commits were made on average vs other folks from random repositories to find the average time of day and then reversing that information into a time zone

    This is the first thing I thought of upon reading the title, and I swear I’ve read a writeup of something that included this as a lead that led to identifying an individual (i.e. commit timestamps)

    The “daingert Madelyn” in the last panel is from a CAPTCHA challenge. In case you’re not aware, CAPTCHAs used to present squiggly pseudo-words like that for you to decipher. I suppose they still might, but they used to, too.

    And the joke is, well, it was always funny when the two words somehow made sense

    Edit: And to totally kill the joke, “daingert” kinda looks/sounds like “dangit” in a southern(?) accent if you squint enough



  • I don’t personally have that big of a problem with my posts/comments being “persistent”, as I have a fairly high threshold for commenting and refrain from commenting anything too incendiary. And anyway, posts/comments, as I see it, are public and should be considered as such.

    However, what I’m still a bit unclear on is the privacy of my votes/saves in the Fediverse. Should I start exercising the same caution in what I upvote or save? I understand that my home instance admins will have access to this data, but is that it?
