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 :)

It was shit hardware that required you do almost all the work in software. Don't blame the OS devs for not giving two shits about a terrible common piece of hardware
Good NICs:

- Mellanox/Nvidia
- Solarflare

Bad NICs:

- Broadcom
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.

@nprofile…ake6 You *can* use your own email provider. That is how it was originally designed. A few email providers do not follow the RFCs properly and break it.
You should not use your own email with it unless you absolutely have to. 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.

@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.

2025-02-26 03:06:09

- reply

@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.

2025-02-26 02:53:22

- reply

@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

@nprofile…25zh so somehow you can request tokens which authenticates you. Each token can only be used once.
But somehow the server doesn't know who the tokens were generated for, only that they're valid. And you use a unique token for each request. But the tokens can't even be linked to the same user by any method either.
The tokens can't be forged. I don't understand how this works yet. Super weird.

What does copyright really get us? Waste. Lots of waste. Especially e-waste. Tons of products that cannot be repaired or reverse engineered.
- insulin pumps that cannot be repaired
- tractors that cannot be repaired
- cars that cannot be repaired
- printer ink cartridges that cannot be refilled
- entire swaths of pop culture lost to the annals of history because nobody can figure out who owns the rights to it anymore so it disappears from society unless you've pirated it
- software that's important, functional, but technically EOL and unusable anymore because the only computer it runs on is dead and the company that made it was gobbled up by another tech conglomorate and they hold the copyrights and patents but won't support or allow anyone to reverse engineer it or make it work on modern computers
It's really hard to square having a big boner for copyright and caring about the environment / fighting against consumerism at the same time. The two aren't even close to being compatible.

2025-02-12 18:50:45

How did we get to the point where people in tech are applauding copyright law? Isn't it the one thing we all rallied around years ago and came to an agreement that the current implementation of copyright is bad, not just for code but for everything?
It doesn't matter if it's a book, movie, music, invention, medicinal breakthrough, or some new paradigm in programming: copyright is a racket that gives the original inventor far too much protection for too long and prevents competition, innovation, and improvements in manufacturing processes for way too long. It directly undercuts one of the good parts of capitalism and leaves us with mostly the shitty parts.

@nprofile…h6f2 there are Samba settings you really need to change for MacOS clients. I'll send you my config

Finally got all my other web stuff back online.
OVH VPS for like $5 will get you 500mbit unmetered bandwidth and then you just slap a WireGuard config on the server and tunnel the traffic home. Now technically my services will work if I change providers or failover from fiber to 5G

@nprofile…uhwj @nprofile…v6nv @nprofile…qw7r no, there's a thread. It's the "context" field. This thread is identified by this value:
tag:infosec.exchange,2025-01-16:objectId=231338068:objectType=Conversation
This value is federated to every server. It's how you identify threads and block them. You can do this just fine on other non-Mastodon platforms like Pleroma.

@nprofile…ezh6 Yes. So the host system would have to be accessed by SSH, VNC/RDP, or another GPU

2025-01-09 18:05:02

@nprofile…ezh6 You wouldn't do it over VNC or something because that kills the entire point of doing the video passthrough if you're just going to force the video to then be transcoded to a terrible quality network video protocol. You'd pass the GPU directly through to the VM and view the VM on the monitor plugged into the GPU

@nprofile…r0kn and fact checking is only worthwhile if you can trust whoever is implementing it.
Does anyone really trust Elon to do fact checking?
Why would you ever trust Zuck to do fact checking?
The entire idea of "fact checking" on social media platforms is because of Trump's "fake news" nonsense during his first campaign and millions of people thought Twitter was their little darling that would do the right thing

technically it's a chat app built on top of email using PGP for the E2EE encryption. It could work with any email account / service, but it's best to use the specialized ChatMail server deployment as it is optimized for this use case. Nobody needs to know it's email underneath. That's the magic part about it. It just works, and it works great.
The ChatMail deployment is optimized for latency and as much metadata and logging as possible is scrubbed from the server and the messages. It's very well done.
Their architecture also allows self-hosted servers to transparently integrate with their push notification service so unlike self-hosted XMPP push notifications to your device just works. No logs are retained and the push notifications have no identifying info.
Additionally they've implemented direct P2P connectivity bypassing the email servers and the WebXDC "apps" they've designed can use this functionality too. You could build little games and utilities that you can publish into a chat and users can open them and interact in realtime. It's super neat.
Additionally, because it's built upon email standards, it can't easily be blocked. An ISP or nation state would have to block all email access to everyone to stop it. But email's too important so it's not feasible to break that part of the internet for your citizens.
Finally, it's very low resource usage. You can host like thousands of user accounts on a Raspberry Pi if you wanted.

I never really connected it before but my dad gave me a necklace with a St Francis of Assisi pendant on it and I liked that a lot as a kid. It's probably also why I like animals so much.

I migrated my Forgejo instance back to Gitea. I really should write a blog post on how to revert their database migrations.

"If you make your home warm you'll lose more heat to the outside than if you keep your home cold, so just do that. Being cold is cool now guys. Don't forget this couldn't possibly save the planet, but it's important you die in discomfort anyway."
