wildbus8979,

Where is the crypto documented? Iā€™m immediately dubious of messengers that do not provide LENGTHY documentation about the crypto. Did you roll your own? Are you using libraries? Which ones? Etcā€¦ Itā€™s not s good start to see that you have the self signed certs hard-coded in the repoā€¦

wildbus8979,

This doesnā€™t really explain how the whole protocol works. Are the keys exchanged for example? Are they rotated? If so when and how? From a quick glance at this bit of code this is just RSA? So no forward secrecy?

wildbus8979,

And they are subject to military censorship!

wildbus8979,

Itā€™s far more useful for them to maintain that image while essentially acting as a giant Room 101 for the entire internet. The three letter agencies, the fusion centers, and the Five Eyes of this world caneasily just parallel construction their way into what ever legal shenanigans they need.

Linux admin with 20 years experience, looking for "beginner" distro [Solved, the real beginner distro was the Debian I've used along the way]

Iā€™m over tinkering with my OS. So Iā€™m looking for a distro that ā€œjust worksā€ out of the box for my laptop. Also I want to test an ā€œeasyā€ distro I can install for my grandpa....

How do I create partitions on debian 12.5 to install other distros in the same M.2 SSD?

Iā€™d like to install linux mint xfce 21.3 and xubuntu 24.04 alongside the already present debian 12.5, but I donā€™t know if I have to create the partitions before installing or if Iā€™m guided to create the partitions while installing....

wildbus8979,

As long as it was encrypted with LUKS headers and not a raw cryptsetup resize is totally capable of resizing partitions/LVs.

Entirely depends if you count HGST as Western Digital or not, because they by far dominate the back blaze reliability scoreboards. IronWolf donā€™t even come close and are extremely hit or miss depending on capacity.

wildbus8979,

Iā€™m curious why you would think that containers are bloat? They require virtually no resources and are built into the kernel. A container is literally just a flag that you add when you exec on an executable binary.

wildbus8979,

How can you guarantee that depencies are compatible across versions? Thatā€™s a fundamental point I think you are missing.

wildbus8979, (edited )

Flatpak absolutely does use containers for sandboxing. Bubblewrap is wrapper for Linux namespaces. Containers is just another name for the underlying kernel technology called namespaces. Same goes for Docker, LXC, Podman, systemd-nspawn, Firejail, etc. Itā€™s all just userland frontends for kernel namespaces. man bwrap, you can also use the generic unshare to create them and nsenter to enter those same namespaces. Itā€™s cool technology, itā€™s very easy to use, a simple flag on your exec or opening of an existing fd is all that is required. I used to work on one of the many userland frontend, even have gotten a couple PRs from Jess Fraz who was one of the core Docker devs. Userns still scares the shit out of me (pretty much every single escape has come from them).

Hereā€™s a fun experiment for you: create a root fs using debootstrap and then enter it using unshare and chroot! Tada! Container!

wildbus8979,

No a chroot is indeed not a container/namespace. Iā€™m not sure what youā€™re getting at here. Flatpak isnā€™t a chroot and what I suggest you try isnā€™t either.

wildbus8979,

Not sure what youā€™re on aboutā€¦ Sid and testing are usually pretty damn near bleeding edge.

wildbus8979,

I mean sure, but thatā€™s a period of like a couple months every couple of years.

wildbus8979,

How do I get rid of it.

Reinstall Debianā€¦ Problem solved, and you get rid of snap as a bonus!

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: How can I make email sub-addresses with only letters or numbers and no special characters like plus?

I want a bulletproof way to give email sub-addresses, since some websites strip out special characters like + and .. I have an idea for how it could work, letā€™s say my email is TheTwelveYearOld@Reddit.com and I have the following:...

wildbus8979,

Why use a catch all when you can configure postfix to use _ as a separator instead of +. and then you can configure dovecot to automatically classify the selector into directories!

Cameractrls, software to control your webcamera - available as Flatpak (flathub.org)

I had personally been looking for a way to control my Logitech C930e Camera on Linux, but was struggeling to find something that would actually connect to the camera AND be able to adjust the levels of zoom and focus. Fortunatly I was able to stumble upon this project called Cameractrls! Itā€™s a very simple and straight to the...

Ah yes, famously the French need Russians to have antisemites and racists in their ranks.

Blinken hints at US sanctions against ICC over arrest warrants for Israeli leaders (www.independent.co.uk)

Antony Blinken has indicated that he will work with American lawmakers on potential sanctions against the International Criminal Court after it sought arrest warrants for Israelā€™s prime minister and defence minister, setting the stage for a confrontation with the world court in the Hague.

wildbus8979,

Did you even read the article? Hamas is mentioned exactly zero times wrt to the aid. This is all the US and Israelā€™s doing.

wildbus8979,

None of that says Hamas.

wildbus8979,

This whole operation is ran solely by the US and Israel, they have no one to blame but themselves. Moreover

He added that aid had been held in an assembly area on shore, [ā€¦] A US official told CNN that the Defense Department and UN are still working to determine how much aid can be held at he staging area inside Gaza at any given time.

The amount of aid getting to the Gaza shoreline from its initial staging area in Cyprus has also fallen short of initial Pentagon estimates.

wildbus8979, (edited )

It doesnā€™t say a group of men are detaining the aid, it says a group of desperate Gazan took the aid.

The solution is shockingly simple, send more aid so people arenā€™t so desperate.

wildbus8979,

Several desperate Gazans intercepted trucks delivering aid from the pier over the weekend

wildbus8979,

This isnā€™t an UN operation, itā€™s a US/Israel joint operation and was in fact Bibiā€™s idea. UNRWA is a UN operation.

wildbus8979,

Clearly complex nuanced issues arenā€™t youā€™re forte. But when evaluating media itā€™s important to remember who benefits from their bias. When people brag about doing things that arenā€™t actually the brag they think it is, they probably arenā€™t lying.

wildbus8979,

Remember kids, you gotta use rm -rf --no-preserve-root /* now a days!

wildbus8979, (edited )

Yes itā€™s difficult to get accurate numbers when a) the aggressor controls the population registry b) the aggressor destroys the records, bombs all the hospitals, and government buildings c) the aggressor repeatedly bombs rescuers on the scene of bombings d) blow up buildings that are still standing which may very well contain more bodies.

Whoā€™d have thunk?! But moreso, who the fuck thinks this is some sort of gotcha.

Canada sanctions FOUR INDIVIDUAL SETTLERS in usual performative bullshit move

Fixed that headline (and article) for yaā€¦

wildbus8979,

Itā€™s pretty funny you think MBFC is independent.

wildbus8979,

No, it really isnā€™t. Itā€™s a diversion to stop people asking for more action.

wildbus8979,

Honestly, it sounds like you want ssh.

wildbus8979,

Iā€™m not saying this to be smug, everything you listed here is things ssh can do if configured to do soā€¦ 2FA can be configured in various ways via PAM (namely yubikey being the superior method, but the possibilities are limitless). Banning non interactive shells can be done with something along the lines of:


<span style="color:#323232;">ForceCommand    if [ "$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND" ]; then echo "this server rejects non-interactive ssh usage" >&2; exit 1; else exec "$SHELL" -i; fi
</span>

Rate limiting is achievable via iptables/nftables.

wildbus8979,

Malware attacking vulnerability in whatever third party software you end up using is far more likely. You canā€™t open a second tty with an existing SSH session, youā€™d have to authenticate again, which would require the 2FA. Using a GUI isnā€™t going to prevent ā€œdoing something very fastā€ and like I said you can rate limit ssh using nf/iptables if you think thatā€™s helpful. Iā€™m not sure what you are referring to when you say ā€œterminalā€, because thatā€™s normally what is referred to as a tty.

wildbus8979,

Wow $2,500! Thatā€™s like a percentage of theā€¦ Let me check my notes hereā€¦ $256,000,000 in revenue. Really significant. Totally relevant foreign interference.

Yeah fuck trying to wash away American fascism as some sort of foreign interference. It is fully homegrown. It would still exist if American society was surrounded by vacuum.

On the other hand, APAIC exists solely to support a foreign state. And laws were changed specifically to allow them to do that.

wildbus8979, (edited )

Yeah I donā€™t think you know anything about anarchism as political theory if you think it has anything to do with corporatism and capitalism. Iā€™d suggest you pickup some theory and brush up on working class history.

What American political education does to a MFā€¦

wildbus8979,

I donā€™t think so, maybe I misread the point you were making, but again I doubt it.
