@nprofile…25zh You can post the same content on the fediverse or in a long Twitter thread but it isn't the same. I was aspiring to blog about cool stuff for a long time but I wanted a static blog and so then the content would be Markdown and consequently difficult or impossible to really author from your phone, so it was really hard to get into the habit.
I've made it much easier to write and publish content so now it's time to actually do it. And I've noticed that if you write a blog post about something it seems to get more interest on fedi than if you pasted the same content into a fedi post.
People really like blogs!

Do you want cheap static IPs from the cloud but use them at home because you don't want to pay exorbitant costs to run your workloads on their slow VMs when you have a capable homelab with gobs of compute and storage?
Well, you can just transport them to your homelab with a Wireguard tunnel.

@nprofile…vqyr nope, that part is taken care of actually.
I'm just trying to get a static IP that the VPS is supposed to have on its own interface to actually be routed through Wireguard to a computer of my choosing.
It was temporarily working which I think was a Linux kernel bug because the traffic should have been getting delivered to the loopback interface at the time. Now I can't get it to work again :)

The good NICs even have developers from the respective companies writing the drivers for them on FreeBSD. I don't believe Broadcom or Realtek has any devs contributing anything at all.

Is Linux networking fucking drunk or what?
So I have a VPS with an additional static ip. I have a wireguard tunnel. I add a static route to pass that static IP through the tunnel.
This part is fine. I can ping the static IP over the tunnel. Everything is fine on the other side, anyway.
But remote traffic / traffic from the internet cannot reach the IP. It's not firewall. The static IP is definitely routed to this Linux server, so it should be able to accept the incoming traffic and forward it (sysctls are correct, that's not the issue).
So I take a shot in the dark. I add the static IP as an additional loopback address. Still with the static route for the same address saying it goes over Wireguard.
And it fucking works??????
How do I have the IP address literally on a loopback *AND* the traffic for that IP is being routed across the Wireguard tunnel correctly?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING LINUX

@nprofile…jsfw @nprofile…h6f2 you can use DeltaChat with any mail server that can do normal SMTP/IMAP logins. You should avoid it if you want a good experience though. So like if you're in Russia and you need to evade the government, use Yandex. If you're anywhere else in the world try to use a purpose-build Chatmail server.
So yes, you can use it witha regular email server that you control but it comes with tradeoffs: probably slower due to your spam filtering and reverse DNS validation, SPF checking, etc. You won't have push notifications without a Lua script that hooks into Dovecot and then calls a custom Python service. If you graft all the Chatmail related features into your server you can get 90% of the way there but like you obviously don't want the rule that blocks all emails unless they're encrypted, etc...
So yes, you can. You probably shouldn't. It's not quite as nice. But you can and it's important that you can to help you evade censorship in hostile environments.

- Session (tor)

@nprofile…2cpy @nprofile…j3jt after Dr Jim Allison's research was more widely known it seems to have spurred some new angles to make these vaccines and they're not really the same for each targeted tumor type, but what I recall from his original research was:
for the the specific tumor he studied, he discovered something called CTLA-4. Basically when your own antibodies would attempt to attach and attack the tumor cells there was this CTLA-4 that would reach back out and touch the antibody and shut off the attack. So your own immune system could never successfully attack the tumor.
His vaccine introduced new antibodies that didn't have that vulnerability so your immune system could eradicate the tumor cells no matter where they were in your body.
Pretty neat stuff!
For my dog, his mouth tumor was shrinking and then out of nowhere it exploded in growth. It really needed to be paired with some other treatment to inhibit growth but this was during COVID and they wouldn't offer targeted radiation therapy because COVID lockdowns. Really too bad, I think he could have beat it. The alternative was cutting off half his lower jaw to get a good enough margin but that's insanely cruel and I don't know why people do that to their pets. His lymph nodes were clear, it really hadn't spread... and then boom, took over his whole body in a matter of weeks after seeing some really promising results.

Chatmail servers are purpose-built messaging servers for this app that are configured to block all emails that are not encrypted (no spam possible) and also have hooks on the mail server side so push notifications get sent to the app (securely, no identifying info leaked)
When you use a normal/legacy email service for DeltaChat you cannot get push notifications.
Create one on my server, it's like 2 clicks and automatic. It's a random email address with a random password. You never give out your email address as your identity anyway, only a link or QR code.

> Four health insurance programs — Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace health insurance subsidies — together accounted for 24 percent of the budget in 2024, or $1.7 trillion. More than half of this amount, or $912 billion, went to Medicare, which in June 2024 provided health coverage to around 67 million people who are age 65 or older or have disabilities. The rest of this amount reflects the federal costs of Medicaid and CHIP ($626 billion) and ACA subsidy and marketplace costs ($125 billion). Both Medicaid and CHIP require states to pay some of their total costs.

@nprofile…ake6 > Is this not how Matrix allows multiple devices to decrypt the same chat?
Ahh, sorry! E2EE should not support multiple devices without friction, I agree. The Matrix design is not something I'm comfortable with. We are definitely in agreement here. There is a mechanism to securely get the key to a device but it's way too complicated for my taste.
> Not to mention, a separate issue, if you're hosting a server, it's VERY easy to impersonate a user.
But how without the admin having their private key? It should be very obvious when their messages are not encrypted with the same keys, or the messages should be dropped/rejected automatically.
You should give DeltaChat a try. It's federated, has features others don't have, and the security is solid, audited. Signal has a couple properties that makes it more resilient against an attacker with infinite resources and the ability to MITM all your traffic but the gap is closing -- perhaps this year, waiting on an RFC to leave draft status. Multi device onboarding requires both devices be on the same network because a direct connection between devices is created to transfer the key material.
Give it a try. Instant anonymous sign ups, and idle accounts are automatically deleted after 90 days by default. Send me a message, I'll demo some features for you.

@nprofile…ake6 > You don't really want an encrypted messenger to federate because each chat is only as secure as the dumbest end user, so you want to key management to be as automated and retard friendly as possible.
What does key management have to do with federation? Your private key isn't being sent to servers in a federated system

@nprofile…ake6 Moxie never revealed who the original investors were in Open Whisper Systems (pre-Signal) and Signal hides the fact that it was originally funded by Open Technology Fund, which is from the CIA
Signal Desktop left everyone's data unencrypted for 10 years
They also will not give us the server source code
They have not earned anyone's trust

@nprofile…ake6 you're looking at this the wrong way. Why would they ever need the keys to decrypt anything when they can just put the logic into the Signal apps on the phone which holds the decrypted messages?
Once Signal is running all the data is there to be read. The cached messages on the devices are in a regular sqlite database. They're not stored in the same encrypted state as they are when sent over the network. It's just a stupid sqlite database that is encrypted with one static key that exists forever until you reinstall the app and start over.
But again, if the backdoor is in the code of the app itself it can read everything and send copies of messages to anywhere it wants. You can't control that at the device level on an iPhone and not normally on an Android.

@nprofile…ake6 because the new FBI is demanding lawful access to encrypted services and Signal was funded by the CIA so if they're not getting a backdoor they'll probably make their own?
We'll never be certain because they won't let us host our own Signal servers and see the source code

2025-02-26 02:47:32

Signal won't work if the government shuts down their servers or forces them out of the country. And everyone trusting them will get what they deserve.
If you can't self-host it I don't think you can claim it's really secure or reliable.
Rembember:
You can't trust corporations to host your cloud
You certainly can't trust corporations with your sensitive/private data
And you definitely can't trust corporations to run single points of failure for your secure messengers

There is no company or CEO that has to make a scene about leaving a country due to backdoor laws if you use Delta Chat :sigh:

If Signal is this crucial to operations in Ukraine I'm starting to suspect more and more that it has deeper ties with the CIA as well. This is documented, but everyone dismisses it as :tinfoil:

Commentary alleges that Russia was taking phones off dead soldiers to get access to their Signal as well which probably gives them access to the list of contacts to attack with malicious QR codes

@nprofile…dfsd @nprofile…h6f2 so circling back, Apple's spent over $200B just in R&D since 1997. Hard to find numbers right now, but let's say the iPhone 16 has produced and sold 75 million units to date.
Does that mean we do $200B / 75 million to get the "cost to produce"? $2666 ? Of course not LOL

@nprofile…dfsd @nprofile…h6f2 so the cost to produce a modern iPhone goes all the way back to the original Mach/XNU kernel in MacOS 10 that they acquired from NeXT in 1997 so "the cost to produce each iPhone 17" is going to look astronomical if you actually went back to every single thing they did over the years that was included in or influenced the final product

@nprofile…h6f2 yes, if you can fucking believe it
This shit is a joke especially how every state has a completely different name for the license that qualifies as a Real ID
Also how is it possible to surrender a Real ID license from one state and get a less legitimate license from another state?
I hate the government
