I made https://fahrplan.cc where you can filter the [not] recorded sessions, categories, and titles.
I've mostly made it for myself to skip the recorded sessions when on-site and to see what's coming up at the current time of day. It therefore tries to include all the self organized sessions, workshops, meetups, music programs, etc. I've been running it for a few years and people use it for all kinds of use cases, including sitting at home and watching the streams.

This seems to affect users from the EU, but not from the US.

> reproducible build available at F-Droid
It's not available at F-Droid. They have an F-Droid compatible repository that you can manually add to your F-Droid client where they ship binaries.
I also can't find any mention of reproducible builds on their website, and their builts seem to include proprietary binaries.
The issue [0] to publish the app on F-Droid is still open.

Any service that claims to be "free" and doesn't have a very obvious business model gets me very suspicious. I usually start reading the service's privacy policy.
This website's "Privacy Policy" states:
> We collect [personal information] by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used.
Yet personal data is collected through Google Analytics without being mentioned anywhere and without my consent. The policy is also the linked privacy policy for the Android and iOS app. It doesn't let the reader know why personal information is collected and how it's used, as it claims. Is that different in the actual apps? Also, what data does the website and the app collect?

This is a "feature", not a bug. Twitter keeps asking for phone numbers all the time and then suggests you also allow others to discover your account via phone number.
So this guy merely enumerated a lot of phone numbers and found accounts of users who agreed to have their phone number publicly match their account.

I'd like to point out that GDPR compliant sites don't need to ask permission for strictly necessary cookies.
I also recommend using Cookie AutoDelete for Chrome [0] or Firefox [1]. You can define a whitelist of websites where you actually need Cookies (because you want to stay logged in), and the rest will be forgotten when you close the tab. It even allows different rules in Firefox Containers.

Also, in my experience address locations on Google Maps are often very inaccurate, so it's not even a good source.

I keep wondering why people who seemingly care about their privacy continue to use Google products/services, doing all their online activity while logged in to their Google account.

Useful website, but years out of date and unmaintained.
The actively maintained community fork can be found at https://justdeleteme.xyz.

Please don't rely on the Referer being present (ever). It's an optional header to send in a request and you can configure your browser — at least Firefox — to not send it for privacy reasons.
Logout (or anything else that triggers changes of any kind) shouldn't be a GET request.

Comcast has even published an informational RFC describing how to inject crap into HTTP requests:

I think most VPNs use NAT, so many users share the same IP address. Otherwise the VPN would be mostly pointless.
