| Gredeu | i have a valid user account on ubuntuforums.org however it won't allow me to retrieve a password reset. its a valid account. | 03:35 |
|---|---|---|
| Gredeu | i get the best assistance or ubuntu on the forums. | 03:37 |
| Gredeu | i also want to use the forums for privacy reasons | 03:40 |
| bkerensa | Is there any reason I'm forced to login to forums to view certain threads? | 05:48 |
| zenrox | no idea | 05:49 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 05:49 |
| zenrox | thought thay were all open to read | 05:49 |
| bkerensa | just a little time consuming to sometimes to view something and be prompted | 05:49 |
| bkerensa | thats what I thought too | 05:49 |
| bkerensa | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=309749 | 05:49 |
| bkerensa | is a example of a thread that talks about tray docking and it prompted me =/ | 05:50 |
| zenrox | Hello, zenrox You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section. Be aware that some of the information is outdated and may cause problems to a current installation. | 05:50 |
| zenrox | you have to be loged in to read the old stuff | 05:50 |
| bkerensa | odd :P | 05:50 |
| bkerensa | I guess they do that to reduce traffic consumption? | 05:50 |
| zenrox | and i am loged in | 05:51 |
| zenrox | not only to protect new users | 05:51 |
| zenrox | makes sence why thay would do that | 05:52 |
| bkerensa | well I have been prompted on newer threads in the past too like stuff thats only a few months old | 05:52 |
| zenrox | hmm odd | 05:52 |
| zenrox | i just keep myself loged in i dont have that prob | 05:53 |
| bkerensa | :D well my browser clears every time I close it and plus I have Bleachbit set to run in cron twice daily to wipe all temp data :D so thats not gonna be easy for me | 05:53 |
| === darkmatter1 is now known as darkmatter | ||
| zenrox | should just set it to ignore that website | 05:54 |
| zenrox | or that cookie | 05:54 |
| Aquix | bkerensa why do you have cron to run bleachbit twice a day? | 06:07 |
| bkerensa | Aquix: I like a clean system :D | 06:08 |
| bkerensa | Aquix: Chrome doesnt delete as much data as it suggets in fact it leaves tidbits so the only way to fully nuke stuff is via bleachbit or shred | 06:08 |
| bkerensa | I dont like wipe my free space but I do have it say to nuke chrome, firefox and a couple other trivial things now and then | 06:09 |
| bkerensa | like rotated logs | 06:09 |
| Aquix | I see. afraid someone will look at your computer? | 06:10 |
| bkerensa | no I just dont like leaving cookies for tracking purposes | 06:14 |
| bkerensa | plus I dont like the idea of having the risk of someone being able to login to an account if I leave traces of data | 06:14 |
| bkerensa | :D | 06:14 |
| bkerensa | ie: Bank Acct, etc | 06:14 |
| Aquix | I just stay logged out from google, and for the bank I log in with my cellphone. Cookies or not, there are enough companies doing ip tracking anyway. | 06:17 |
| bkerensa | Aquix: Well I have LastPass + YubiKey so I'm pretty secure but just for safety :D | 06:46 |
| Aquix | better things for safety out there. Get noscript and better privacy addons | 06:49 |
