ipa VS root

It's all other parties, actually. I'm assuming Mozilla and friends are trusted and that the cryptography is perfect.

I've filed an issue at https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/ipa/issues/90 but I'm still not sure if that's the right repo.

I will be caustious with such statement.

IPA now allows these companies to track users across multiple IP addresses, and regardless of the user's cookie settings, via a unique tracking identifier. It is also proposed that the operating system provides the unique tracking identifier which can then be used by all applications or browsers on a device, allowing different devices behind a single IP address to be distinguished.

Mozilla is one of the authors.

Mozilla are proposing IPA[1] which is designed to track user interaction with ads and product marketing, and track any conversion that occurs (e.g. users end up purchasing something).

If you are shown a product ad whilst browsing searchengine.example and then later look up the product at reviews.example, then end up making a purchase at shop.example, your browser sends all of these events to an aggregation service that allows shop.example to understand (at least in aggregate, assuming you trust the cartel running the aggregation service) that you were exposed to their product at searchengine.example and further exposed to their product at reviews.example.

NixOS hardening with (slightly wonky) tests[1], in case anyone's interested.

Any home-manager users on NixOS here? Are there any killer features in home-manager for you? I tried home-manager for a bit, but just went back to plain NixOS after I couldn't find anything it did better than what I was already using ([1], [2]).
