N.A.N.Y. 2021 / Re: N.A.N.Y. 2021: ClipURLCleaner - Clean URLs in your clipboard

Does your .exe file has a windows manifest integrated? <- that would be my first step

-KodeZwerg (September 24, 2020, 05:42 AM)

Not yet. But good point.

Here’s clipurlcleaner.exe.manifest:

[Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
    <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" name="ClipURLCleaner" type="win32"/>
    <dependency>
        <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"/>
        </dependentAssembly>
    </dependency>
</assembly>

Does it work for you? If so, I might embed it.

(I wonder why my Windows 10 has not complained then.)

Disable it. Instant security improvement. Seriously, virus scanners are pointless overhead.
Else, I’m pretty sure that there must be a way to declare the .exe as harmless.

I'll add one or two tools towards the end of the year again, in addition to the previous ones from 2020.
Don't worry, I don't do this for the mugs.  I'll just participate without a prize.

Logs of all of the other programs that are open on your computer

Totally not spyware. Oh yes, I’m sure that Discord’s servers absolutely need this vital list.

Also, Google and Facebook trackers:
https://www.reddit.c...ta_there_are_google/

I understand that it’s 2020 and everyone deliberately lets some spy crapware scan their computers anyway. I remember when this was a bad thing.

When exactly has DC stopped being a privacy-aware community?

Sure, except that it is harder to use Discord (IRC clients don’t need much from you), the channel does not suddenly appear in the search results, the client software is a mess and there are no sane reasons to move away. I mean, this is a web forum. Why doesn’t DC move to Facebook/reddit instead because that’s where the people already are? It would be “about time”...

This was a horrible idea for many reasons, but spyware is “modern” these days because “everyone” uses it.

Eek.

Good. Could anyone transfer the rights to the IRC channel to me? Because I refuse to use vendor lock-in software running on centralized and proprietary US infrastructure.

edit: Rolling on the floor laughing for multiple reasons. Broken low-security spyware as an IRC replacement? No, thank you.
A serious downgrade, if you ask me.

The TextEditors wiki - where I had contributed in the past - suffers from a lack of maintenance of existing pages. There are a lot of 404 links over there and my day only has 24 hours. Maybe someone of you feels able to fix those?
