Detect when your installed Chrome extensions have changed owners
Recently my favorite open source mouse gestures extension SmartUp Gestures was taken over by some shady entity (with github no longer being updated of course).
I opened Chrome ticket that they should ask to re-enable extension when ownership changes. They just closed the ticket replying with this link:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/extens...
:(

Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003 and newer
Hmm. It looks like files with the .lnk or .pif file extension can only be downloaded on a user gesture: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/39841e54180...
So it can't be done silently. Although, I do wish the type was marked "DANGEROUS" a la dll files.

New Linux glibc flaw lets attackers get root on major distros
On Linux, Chromium uses setuid or user namespaces to restrict the access of sandboxed components and seccomp-bpf to reduce the kernel attack surface.
Check out the Chromium docs on this topic: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/l...

You can also disable JIT in Firefox by setting javascript.options.baselinejit to false in about:config, although you won't get CET.

Google Is Tracking You Even in Incognito Mode, New Disclaimer Is Up
For the sake of completeness, I've traced the evolution of the notice over time:
From 2008-07-26: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of: / • Websites that collect or share information about you / • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit / • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys / • Surveillance by secret agents / • People standing behind you" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/09911bf300f...)
From 2013-12-07: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, software, or people standing behind you." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/c5e36c57178...)
From 2013-12-13: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/70821506825...)
From 2014-02-27: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, governments and other sophisticated attackers, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/ab54bd65701...)
From 2014-04-29: "Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/eb09a62ef40...)
From 2016-01-15: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn’t hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/b7dac1a6a79...)
From 2017-02-27: "Your activity might still be visible to: / • Websites you visit / • Your employer / • Your internet service provider" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/cfe102adddc...)
From 2017-03-29: "Your activity might still be visible to: / • Websites you visit / • Your employer or school / • Your internet service provider" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/7ca3ccf74e8...)
(Note that some of these were behind a feature flag for a few months.) Also, it looks like they've been intending to modify the new-tab page text for Incognito windows for some time, as part of the "Revamped Incognito NTP" project. You can view the modified text with 'chromium --enable-features=IncognitoNtpRevamp':
From 2021-08-13: "What Incognito doesn't do / Incognito does not make you invisible online: / • Sites know when you visit them / • Employers or schools can track browsing activity / • Internet service providers may monitor web traffic" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/e6ae57ba385...)
From 2022-01-25: "What Incognito doesn't do / Incognito does not make you invisible online: / • Sites and the services they use can see visits / • Employers or schools can track browsing activity / • Internet service providers can monitor web traffic" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/8b349f6c984...)
The incognito warning has always said that websites can still track you.* Point (b) won't be helped much by letting people know that Google is also a website.

People like me are why you shouldn't run a hosting company
I think its weird that Vercel has this limit. There is no practical reason I can think of for having such a limit on URL characters that is so small. Chrome suggests a 2MB limit[0] for example. The platform itself doesn't have one, and Firefox I believe if memory serves (I can't find the source for this claim atm) is 1 MB effectively, and I don't think Safari is any lower than that either (and may well be more inline with Chrome on this, at 2 MB)

Easy VPN install on Debian
Wondering what people are using these days to get a VPN (Wireguard?) up and running easily. Is Wireguard itself simple enough that one can just ... do this? I'm thinking of something like PiVPN which does appear to still exist but I'm unsure of how up-to-date it is. Specifically, I like terminal commands just fine, but would prefer not to have to manually configure a basic VPN (internet gateway) and its associated profiles/certificates.

Wireguard without VPS?
If you really want some hand holding, PiVPN is even easier.

Remote Access
They're easily set up via the guided PiVPN installation script. Should work on everything that's Debian-based, not just on Rasbian running on a Pi.

Build your own private WireGuard VPN with PiVPN
under Features in [1]:
* Doesn't need to be a Raspberry Pi™, It runs on any x86_64 system
yes the webui now has some convenience options for generating and importing configs, but there's still a gap (as in default package installed) in client profile management or network management on cli.
What pivpn (and similar tooling wrapping lower level commands) bring along is this client management and even some network topology/routing management : https://docs.pivpn.io/wireguard/ and https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn/tree/master/scripts/wireguard
I think it's a interesting spectrum between wg-cli and tailscale.
