<ul></ul><p>If we uncheck <code>Allow player statistics to track your client</code> and keep the other checked, the two other below are greyed out but it still track people:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>[ ] Allow player statistics to track your client<br />[x] Allow player statistics to use your nickname<br />[x] Allow player statistics to rank you in the leaderboards</p>
</blockquote>
<p>because with these settings I'm listed in: <a class="external" href="https://stats.xonotic.org/game/2075117">https://stats.xonotic.org/game/2075117</a></p>
<p>I'll try with all 3 unchecked.</p>

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>unconfirmed</i> to <i>confirmed</i></li></ul><p>I think that even with tracking disabled it still tracks people</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://stats.xonotic.org/game/2075155">https://stats.xonotic.org/game/2075155</a></p>
<p>Here I'm the third blue:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>32 Anonymous Player 3 0 1 1 2 28</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So I'm still recorded as "Anonymous player".</p>
<p>To get that info I played a game, then I take a picture at the end of the statistics and I compared it.</p>
<p>There were only 3 blue and 3 red at the end.</p>
<p>Though I didn't restart the game since I unchecked the 3 boxes.</p>
<p>edit1: Add methodology.<br />edit2: Add the fact that I didn't restart.</p> Packages - Privacy Issue #3402: Check if xonotic enable statistics.xonotic.org by defaulthttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3402?journal_id=184462022-12-22T01:28:21ZGNUtooGNUtoo@cyberdimension.org
<ul></ul><p>Guix has the opposite issue: tracking doesn't work there somehow: <a class="external" href="https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43685">https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43685</a></p>
<p>So I probably need to remove the file they are talking about to see if I can get not listed on xonotics statistics.</p> Packages - Privacy Issue #3402: Check if xonotic enable statistics.xonotic.org by defaulthttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3402?journal_id=184472022-12-22T01:35:48ZGNUtooGNUtoo@cyberdimension.org
<ul></ul><p>After quiting <code>xonotic-sdl</code> and starting it again, I'm this blue line:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>31 Anonymous Player 0 0 0 0 0 0</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a class="external" href="https://stats.xonotic.org/game/2075159">https://stats.xonotic.org/game/2075159</a></p>
<p>So it still collects data.</p> Packages - Privacy Issue #3402: Check if xonotic enable statistics.xonotic.org by defaulthttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3402?journal_id=184482022-12-22T01:42:38ZGNUtooGNUtoo@cyberdimension.org
<ul></ul>The 3 settings variable names are:
<ul>
<li>cl_allow_uid2name</li>
<li>cl_allow_uidranking</li>
<li>cl_allow_uidtracking</li>
</ul>
<p>And for the 3 settings, the options are:<br />-1: ask<br />0:disable<br />1: enable</p>
<p>It was on 0 when I had the privacy leaks. I'll try -1 but I fear we'd have to either remove xonotic or fix the source code.</p> Packages - Privacy Issue #3402: Check if xonotic enable statistics.xonotic.org by defaulthttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3402?journal_id=184492022-12-22T02:16:09Zdirenis
<ul></ul><p>I really like to see xonotic on the repos, i will try to help somehow. also there are performance differences between xonotic from repos and xonotic downloaded from their website.</p> Packages - Privacy Issue #3402: Check if xonotic enable statistics.xonotic.org by defaulthttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3402?journal_id=184502022-12-22T02:36:28ZGNUtooGNUtoo@cyberdimension.org
<ul></ul><p>With -1 everywhere it asks before starting to play an online game</p>
<p>But after saying yes you end up with again statistics showing up:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>31 Anonymous Player 11 4 7 2 1 114</p>

<ul></ul><p>Some performance difference could be attributed to compilation flags. Parabola tries to also be compatible with older computers, so it doesn't use compilation flags for things like AVX2 unless there is a runtime detection of CPU capabilities.</p>
<p>Though maybe it's possible to build multiple variants within the same PKGBUILD to make sure that the maintenance cost isn't increased.</p>
<p>edit1: Add more background.</p> Packages - Privacy Issue #3402: Check if xonotic enable statistics.xonotic.org by defaulthttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3402?journal_id=186092023-01-29T19:06:26ZGNUtooGNUtoo@cyberdimension.org
<ul></ul><p>I've checked with a fresh Guix system installation, and xonotic has the same behavior than with Parabola: with all tracking settings deactivated I still see me as an anonymous player in the public statistics.</p>
<p>edit1: improved wording.</p>
