take your fricking meds moron.
the "machine id" is set at installation time. If you reinstall your OS, it changes. If you delete it, a new one is created at boot. Unless you have some schizo custom setup, each networked computer needs some kind of UUID that doesn't change every time you reboot.
It's persistent and is good enough to identify you. >you offend THEM >they raid your house >they image your harddisk >they find your machine ID >they can pin everything on you
This implies a random website can see the /etc/machine-id file, which is highly unlikely. When has a web browser ever read a file from /etc/? And since when do websites have access to your system files?

Read OP's pic again. Back them, JavaScript wasn't even universal, and there certainly wasn't a JS API to read the ID. So why were people at the time outraged? Think about it, zoomer.

Because any program could get your ID with a CPU instruction, Black person. This is not an issue with a sandboxed, open source web browser.

No website can execute native CPU instruction to get a CPU ID, moron.

That's literally the point of the post you are replying to, Black person monkey. The privacy issue was not because of web browsers, javascript wasn't even popular.

you can patch any program that includes these instructions, in fact you could simply not ever run any program that would execute this instruction, it's trivial to detect
Are you some moron that thinks the world's most powerful governments never look into any new emerging technology or companies? There is never a product out there that isn't looked over by the most powerful.
Are there any computers that aren't pozzed?
pc 98
SteamOS
wire-wrapped homebrew z80
>pozzed
the holyness of templeos automagically gets rid of hardware backdoors trust
dbus generates a unique ID for each PC and stores it in
/etc/machine-id
The Linux desktop is glowing.
Yes, poetteringware glows. And?
>I don't have this on my machine
>I'm not using systemd
Systemd adopters can't stop losing
i have it on my openrc ;-;
dbus requires it. Most Linux desktop software requires dbus. dbus crashes if it doesn't get that ID, even though it's rarely used at all.
imagine using dbus. basically anything that starts or ends with the letter d is spyware. this includes mullvad
systemd?
I believe you could make a script to regenerate it upon boot?
