Not to mention the surprising ways that apps open you up to tracking *outside the app* even in Incognito:

Mainstream social media apps spy on you. This isn't even the first such revelation. All social nedia works just fine in your web browser, which defeats a lot of those shenanigans.
If you really want a separate app, consider a second web browser. Also, Mastodon apps should be fine (but be careful with the less popular ones).

Got banned from write.as for triggering an anti-SEO alert — apparently too many links to http://localhost (yes, really). I emailed support right away, assuming it would be resolved quickly. Two weeks later: still banned.
So I took it personally.
According to their rules, I need to delete all posts before I can delete the account… but I can’t do that because, well, I’m banned. 😅
Thanks to full approval from the CEO of TYOLabs.com (me) and the swift action of their lead sysad…

Since I could translate the symbols, I can now see them in gdb as well (extended with gef here). When I run QEMU, it uses the Multiboot header, but that's no issue.
In gdb, I had to
- `target remote localhost:1234`
- `add-symbol-file ./9pc64.aout.elf 0xffffffff80110000`
The second part is crucial for relocating the symbols, since we'll be long mode.
Anyway, enjoy symbols!!! \o/

Such a wild technical achievement in privacy invasion: Facebook app runs a localhost server so their tracker on web pages can ping it with session id and identify you -- even in Incognito or on VPN.

Wenn ein CFO Bilanzen fälscht, landet er im Gefängnis. Wenn ein CTO massenhafte Überwachung organisiert, wird er befördert.
Metas Localhost Tracking-Programm ist ein Paradebeispiel für den moralischen Verfall in der Tech-Branche. mrak.at/2025/06/15/ueberw…
