Looks like I (for now) have a guide to recommend for all people that wanna "harden" firefox :D
I see them kinda often Firefox also recently got better and improved stuff in its back-end:

 /home/jacob | Ye, I think we talked about that already | 12:46:13 |
| inference | It at least seems to no longer expose the renderer process to the website. | 12:46:18 |
 yemou | alpine just removed libexecinfo from their repos, so missing execinfo.h compile issues could be far less of an issue for us now | 13:24:16 |
 roomba | could you guys explain why signal still uses only phone number? | 13:26:21 |
 Sr. Estegosaurio | You can also usu threema if you dislike Signal. | 14:02:37 |
| Sr. Estegosaurio | Problem: it costs money. | 14:02:48 |
| Sr. Estegosaurio | But it has a google free app. | 14:02:59 |

could you guys explain why signal still uses only phone number? It locks it to your number so people can't spoof you as long as your number is in use (this isn't perfect, but it does ensure no one else can use your number while you are). It also makes it "just work" for normies. | 14:09:11 |
| inference | I don't see it as an issue:

| Sr. Estegosaurio | From my point of view requiring a phone number is downside. | 14:30:19 |

From my point of view requiring a phone number is downside. I don't see it as being different to a username or an IP address. | 14:30:54 |
| Sr. Estegosaurio | Well, here it's directly associated with my ID. | 14:31:12 |
| inference | In reply to @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org
Well, here it's directly associated with my ID. But Signal strips pretty much all of the metadata, so why does that matter? | 14:31:36 |
| inference | The only thing Signal can hand over and see is the last time you connected, and when you created the account. | 14:31:55 |
| inference | And Signal is the best you can get. OMEMO uses Signal Protocol, so does Matrix's Olm and Megolm, and so does WhatsApp. | 14:32:19 |
| Sr. Estegosaurio | I know, but even with that I prefeer not handing it. | 14:32:20 |
| inference | Great, another one:

| Sr. Estegosaurio | The Tor Project is rewriting tor in rust. | 13:25:55 |

The Tor Project is rewriting tor in rust. Wasn't it only a part of it? | 15:02:47 |
| inference | Begins with "A". Don't remember the name. | 15:02:56 |
| inference | I don't think they're rewriting all of it in Rust. | 15:03:09 |
| inference | But they should. | 15:03:18 |

Begins with "A". Don't remember the name. Arti. | 17:18:48 |
| Sr. Estegosaurio | Ppl were calling them soydevs for doing that. | 17:21:15 |
