I use GoSquared — the service is great and support is second to none.


I never hear about GoSquared. Thank you for suggestion. I'll observe.


When I click on links in the nav bar, they don't go anywhere. I have AdBlock installed which seems to be the cause but why on earth does AdBlock affect how an html link works?

I'm sure it's a great service but I shouldn't have to turn off AdBlock just to click links.


I am also facing the same issue in Firefox with ABP enabled.


Thanks for visiting deckrank.

We tested on Firefox desktop + ABP and Firefox Android + ABP, but didn't see this issue. Could you share more specifics that'll help us reproduce the issue so we can troubleshoot?


iOS8 randomises the MAC address to avoid tracking like this: http://venturebeat.com/2014/06/19/why-ios-8s-mac-address-ran...


Yep, so glad that this feature exists. Hope everyone else follows suit.

Have nothing against collecting data of people which choose to join the network, accept T&Cs etc but bulk connection of people passing by is not cool.


I doubt it will be long before this randomization is of no real protection against systems employed by the likes of the NSA and similar. If they can figure it out then a private company could as well and market the managing of free wi-fi services to localities and such all under the guise of better understanding your customers, or worse protection from bad people.

This previous story should pretty much end the idea that even randomizing your Mac address matters https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8094134


Isn't Apple leading the beacon tech though?


You caught me on a good day for merging pull requests ;) thanks for the contribution, always appreciated :)


It's changed to "direct links" rather than "urls" now.


We are looking at adding more information such as data retention, etc.


Hm. Do you really want to do that on your own? You'd have to find the ToS, document ToS changes, analyse the ToS, etc.

We're trying to do that already at http://tosdr.org, please join in (http://github.com/tosdr) and http://tosback.org

Edit: Hm I thought 5apps supported https already, i guess i was wrong


Hmmm...

You attempted to reach tosdr.org, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.5apps.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of tosdr.org.


I'm guessing you have HTTPS Everywhere installed. It works fine on HTTP.


That sounds great. The only problem is that you just have to accept the word of whatever PR person you talk to at these companies. Not that I really expect them to flat out lie to you, but I wouldn't necessarily expect the whole and complete truth either.


Are data retention policies generally in a site's TOS?

Not that that'd be much better than a PR rep, but it'd be easier to get at least.


I would monetarily support that.


We're doing everything we can to keep the site up. As said below, the direct link to the site is http://justdelete.me


Is this site not completely static?


It wasn't, but it is now.


Since the site doesn’t need anything except a static list in a .json, it would make sense to use a static website generator (e.g. Jekyll) instead of an index.php which loads the JSON file.


I'm certainly going to look at improving the information that is available about each site. Perhaps icons to indicate ownership rights.


Definitely, though I'm not sure what kind of icon would properly indicate 'personal ownership rights', you could color-code.
