Something happens to me occasionally, and I don't know where to put it in the ridiculous - infuriating - preposterous feelingspace. It happened again today.
Backstory: I'm an email geek, who has been running mail servers for three decades, and who has written a lot of mail-handling software. I've worked as a consultant on email systems for companies large and small.
When you run your own mailservers, have deep experience with MTAs, and are a bit of a privacy nut, you might have a tendency to want to know exactly who does what with your email address when you give it to them. For most people, this desire is just a dream; it's not possible with their email system.
Thanks to a technique semi-related to #VERP - variable envelope return-path, a mailing list feature with the qmail MTA - it's possible for email geeks. Basically the idea is that you give a different email address to everyone you deal with, and keep track of who you gave it too. Then, when you receive email, you can tell from the address the email was delivered *to* - one of your many addresses - where they got your address from.
Example:
Say I own the `example.net` domain. I arrange for all email to that domain to come to me.
I decide to order something online from #CrappyTire (ask a Canadian). When the Crappy Tire website asks for my email address, I type in "crappytire@example.net".

#DEDA - #tracking Dots Extraction, Decoding and #Anonymisation #toolkit
Document Colour Tracking Dots, or yellow dots, are small systematic dots which encode information about the printer and/or the printout itself. This process is integrated in almost every commercial colour laser printer. This means that almost every printout contains coded information about the source device, such as the serial number.

Apples Tracking-Nachfrage in iOS: Frankreich sieht Wettbewerbsverzerrung

Windows 10 may very well be the last Windows OS that I ever run on any computer I own. I have never used Windows 11 and have been holding off upgrading as long as possible due to concerns like this.
I even have a Microsoft account, but it's the principle of the thing. Who actually owns the technology I use?
I have been tinkering with Linux off and on for nearly 20 years, with some long stints using various distros as my daily driver.
If Microsoft is going to be this way, so be it. I can get along just fine without them.

…I have seen BlueSky critically for a long time (see above in the deprice). I am not the only person and why it has to be avoided to avoid @FediThing told us clearly. Tracking is relatively easy to redirect on the left.
Hast Du Links oder Tipps für den #boykott von #noafd Unterstützer*innen? Bisher hab ich nur #mullermilch und seine Markenauf dem Schirm.

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social"[We are a]n age old Digital Marketing Agency operating over 10 years in the global market
having its main office at AZ, USA. We exist for such a long only because we follow ethical business practices"
Yes, sure. VERY ethical, right? You'd never place tracking pixels into your mails for example, would you?
"Do you want me to send…" – Are you kidding? No, of course. I want you to stop that 
Apparently #Vivaldi is inserting affiliate links into pages
Private #Browserfenster verhindern keine Identifikation im Netz.
Die #IP-Adresse und das Browser-#Fingerprinting ermöglichen weiterhin das Benutzer-#Tracking.
Wer wirkliche #Anonymität sucht, sollte auf Tools wie den #TorBrowser setzen. Doch auch der schützt nicht vor allen Gefahren.

Hmm, privacy tip. OsmAnd sends a "unique ID" when you download offline maps, UNLESS, you turn off that identifier. Any kind of UUID transmitted over the web is unfortunately (another) digital footprint ad companies and whatnot can use to follow you through life. You can turn it off. #osmand #privacy #tracking
These antennas on a shelter building at Frontenac State Park in Minnesota attract attention.
What are they?
If you follow the coax lines inside you find they lead to a dusty old Home Depot storage bin in the corner, with a label—
"What is this thing?"
• This box, along with the antennas outside, is a Motus station
• Motus stations detect signals of tiny transmitters fitted to birds, bats, and insects to track their movements across North America
• The transmitters are harmless to animals, and eventually fall off
• At Frontenac State Park, we want to understand how the Mississippi River Valley is being used during migration
I was tempted to peek at the equipment inside … but was admonished not to … and I didn't.
Noch eine US-Stadt will mit AirTags Autodiebe bekämpfen
Auch wenn Apple das gar nicht vorsieht: Eine weitere amerikanische Metropolenpolizei hofft darauf, mit AirTags Autoklau zu verhindern.
Smartphones are loaded with sensors, cameras, mics, GPS, accelerometers... but do consumers actually control them? Who else is listening, #tracking, and profiling us?
Die Deutsche Bahn macht ernst mit dem Überwachungs-Upgrade! Wollte nur einen Kaffee im Zug am Platz direkt vom Tablett der Servicekraft kaufen – bar, versteht sich – und die Servicekraft tippt fröhlich meine Wagen- und Platznummer ins Smart-Terminal ein. Äh, bitte was?! Habe dann lieber auf den Kaffee verzichtet. Kein Bock, dass mein morgendlicher Koffein-Kick noch im Bahn-Datenzentrum analysiert wird.
