lunar night
#

no audio is coming out of the headphones

faint laurel
#

i see

#

have u definitely set ur output device correctly ?

lunar night
#

when I plug it into linux mint, it works

#

yeah I toggled the output devices

#

so there's Digital Stereo HDMI Output + Analog stero input

digital stereo hdmi output

analog stereo input

pro audio

#

I'm looking for analog stereo output

faint laurel
#

i see

lunar night
#

since that's what it said on linux mint

faint laurel
#

can u send a screenshot?

#

of what the options are?

lunar night
#

okay

#

i will install firefox first

faint laurel
#

yee

#

or librewolf-bin if u dont wanna bother adding ur firefox configs first lol

lunar night
#

what's librewolf

faint laurel
#

its a fork of firefox with security patches preapplied so u dont have to harden it urself

lunar night
#

I prefer hardening firefox myself

#

but i will check it out

faint laurel
#

yeah i use both

#

in a weird spot with browsers atm am changing them up to use hardened firefox but idk what role i wanna use it in yet mysticatThink

lunar night
#

yeah I'm like that but with tor

#

I like my privacy, but I don't know what to use tor for, it's just so slow

#

firefox is amazing, I use around a dozen custom profiles for it and store the profiles on an external drive, I can use the same profiles wherever I go

faint laurel
faint laurel
#

see idk if i want firefox to be my primary browser for me to be signed in on all my accounts and such or if u want it to be my disposable browser for general browsing

#

i might use ungoogled chromium as my primary browser and firefox as disposable im not sure what i want yet

#

rn im using librewolf for everything lmao

lunar night
#

I NEVER log into all sites on a single browser

#

in fact, by default, I use a firefox template using ffprofiles

faint laurel
#

how many browsers do u have installed lmao

lunar night
#

all my profiles are hardened so that they don't save anything on restart

faint laurel
#

in fact could firefox containers be considered as private as separate browser instances?

lunar night
#

I mean, I have firefox installed and that's it. But in terms of profiles? Around 12 and I intend on increasing that number

#

No

#

I don't recommend containers

faint laurel
#

whats wrong with them?

lunar night
#

My browser setup is quite complicated so I wouldn't recommend it to the average person but, you aren't the average person

#

containers don't provide the same security as a separate profile

#

and I like being able to have different settings for each activity

#

for example, these are some of my profiles:

phf - my main profile
discord - discord only
study - I use it for studies related to school
shopping - i only have one shopping profile for a specific site
email - I use it to login to emails (I intend on installing QubesOS side by side with Arch, and I will only use Qubes to open emails cause they're a huge threat vector

#

Honestly, the more you compartmentalize your activities the better.

faint laurel
#

true

lunar night
#

the easier solution, than using so many firefox profiles, is using Qubes

#

and more secure

faint laurel
#

however i need to consider the complexity and effort and balance it against my threat model

faint laurel
lunar night
#

honestly I like my setup, it's convenient for me. But here's the thing, if you want to be able to login to every site on a single browser, on a single profile, your losing a lot of privacy and security.

#

What I'm saying is, I don't trust containers to fully protect my online privacy.

faint laurel
#

perhaps in future if i got another machine i could do all personal activities on that qubes machine and keep this one for general use

lunar night
#

I definitely recommend qubes

faint laurel
lunar night
#

in fact, if qubes was a bit more user friendly, and had better performance, i'd recommend it to everyone, and I'm pretty sure Zen is the future of computing

lunar night
#

You ain't fooling facebook with those containers.

#

Actually, you're not fooling facebook by even using separate ff profiles

#

facebook is an example.

faint laurel
#

i mean i dont use facebook lol

#

yeah

lunar night
#

sites can track you across browsers, containers won't help

faint laurel
#

i mean can supercookies breach containers? ik regular cookies cant

lunar night
#

I'm convinced even across VMs but that's a whole different story

lunar night
#

I don't trust containers. I've never used them extensively.

faint laurel
#

i see

#

how is it u deploy ur different profiles btw?

lunar night
#

I set about:profiles to my home page so it's easier to manage the profiles

faint laurel
#

i see i see

lunar night
#

it's like a manager for your VMs

#

think of your profiles as VMs

#

also...

#

if you want to protect against supercookies across profiles, encrypt each profile.

#

assuming you only decrypt the ones you need, nothing can breach the encrypted profile

#

unless they're open at the same time

faint laurel
#

i see i see

lunar night
#

I don't personally encrypt each profile but I would, if I wasn't planning on using Qubes

#

and that setup is a little complicated, requires a lot more work

#

encrypting each profile when needed, making sure not to decrypt too many at once, and decrypting when not in use, etc

faint laurel
#

i mean maybe u could sandbox the profiles and firefox using bubblewrap so they cant access each other 🤷 idk if that would work tho

lunar night
#

I've never used bubblewrap, i'm not sure what protections it has.

#

also I doubt it would be any better than encrypting each profile

#

again, in this scenario, Qubes is the perfect solution

#

you can't beat qubes at this type of setup

faint laurel
#

can you run 2 instances of firefox with different profiles or is that not possible? as i would like to have up to 2 browsers open at the same time for general searching while using an account - i imagine this is not recommended but is it possible ?

lunar night
#

qubes is a type 2 hypervisor so it will beat any VM or sandbox program

faint laurel
#

*type 1 hypervisor

lunar night
lunar night
faint laurel
#

thats interesting

#

so how do u run multiple firefox instances? do u just open a new window and switch the profile?

lunar night
#

using two profiles at once is fine. You're not fooling anyone by only using one at a time, it's not a concern for me.

faint laurel
#

yesyes

lunar night
faint laurel
#

yeah

lunar night
#

firefox is really easy on the cpu/ram

faint laurel
#

it is yes

#

interesting well i will look into creating some more firefox profiles maybe off of the basis of arkenfox and try that setup out :)

#

maybe i will be able to just use one browser :)

lunar night
#

sure thing

#

also use ublock origin

faint laurel
#

ofc ofc

#

thats installed by default on librewolf aswell lol its pretty much a given lol

lunar night
#

canvasblocker, cookieautodelete, decentraleyes as well

#

although ublock is king

#

i have them all installed on each profile by default

faint laurel
#

hmm i have heard conflicting things about those other 3, because as much as they may reduce tracking, more and more of their features are being included in firefox anyway and having more and more extensions can be a fingerprint in in of itself

#

(not just those 3 extensions ofc but just adding too many extensions in general)

lunar night
#

yes, httpseverywhere is redundant now

#

I think canvasblocker is okay, the others are optional

faint laurel
lunar night
#

It's hard to determine how much the others are contributing to your privacy/security

#

i haven't looked into the specifics and don't have enough knowledge to really know what they're doing

faint laurel
faint laurel
lunar night
#

I wouldn't use privacy badger personally but I'm sure it's not bad

#

actually I'm pretty sure privacybadger is just a worse version of ublock origin

faint laurel
#

yeah its just not necessary and u dont want unnecessary stuff coz it can be used to fingerprint u

faint laurel
lunar night
#

alright

#

i'm gonna fuck around with my new install and see if it all works, thanks so much

#

send a fr

#

sent*

#

oh i forgot to send you a screenshot

#

wait did i

faint laurel
#

hmmm

#

i mean maybe try analog stereo input as the output lol? i think at some point kde got confused and mixed up the inputs and outputs of the 3.5mm jack controller

lunar night
#

I tried all of them

faint laurel
#

there will be a way to fix it but idk how off the top of my head

lunar night
#

none output audio

#

okay

faint laurel
#

u will prbly have to make pulseaudio configs or pipewire configs to switch the source and sink of the audio jack controller around i imagine

#

which is a pain but should be solvable

lunar night
#

ok

lunar night
#

(audio issue still unresolved)

olive bobcat
#

pacman -Qs wireplumber

#

does it have anything?

lunar night
#

local/wireplumber 0.4.11-4
Session / policy manager implementation for PipeWire
