vcunat | We just had https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/490953 so I expect the bot to soon make a PR for the second one. | 17:50:52 |

hexa | In more important news, we found that the vulnerability in libvpx encoding required a specific setting that Firefox is not using. It's essentially not affected.

whispers [& it/fae] | hai i know it's been like a month but i will note: it is possible to build tor browser and mullvad browser from source. i have experiments with it [in my personal dotfiles](<https://codeberg.org/whispers/nebula/src/branch/meow/nix/pkgs/tor-browser-src>). but yeah, the issues felschr mentioned in that forum post are the thing stopping me from using it in any real capacity. fingerprinting is really fucking complicated and i'm like half sure that all of the --with-system-XXX flags that buildMozillaMach uses probably introduce fingerprinting issues somewhere | 14:36:48 |

whispers [& it/fae] | the guix folks do actually build tor browser from source in their own repositories but frankly i'm skeptical they've done the work to make sure all of those risks are mitigated | 14:41:21 |
whispers [& it/fae] | simply because i doubt there's anyone on the planet who knows exactly what that work even is | 14:41:44 |
