Does feddit.org work without JS? Does this depend on the front-end that the instance uses?

Configure the TOR Duckduckgo and Brave search engines and only search over TOR. Switch circuits every x hours.

Took a while but glad that they are back

Systemd is no longer just an init system, but the project began with Poettering's dislike of other init systems. I use systemd and I do not like its performance (too slow in some cases).

The tragedy is that being an end-user, it is ridiculously hard to replace systemd on "regular" distros. Admittedly, Debian can be moved back to sysVinit without backbreaking work, but the fact is that distros don't seem to have any intention of providing choice, making applications assume that systemd exists wherever they will be installed. That is the complaint I have against the Linux community

Why would you need a GUI for the init?

Explain how other init systems are necessarily worse than systemd

I've heard of s6 and runit alongside OpenRC as alternatives. I believe distros should make the init system agnostic of the rest of the software and not force users to stick with what they force them to do. Systemd is really slow.

What infuriates me more than distros playing the heavy hand in adopting it, are applications depending on it (I'M LOOKING AT YOU GNOME). This is completely unacceptable. If I find an application that doesn't work without systemd, I either compile it to see if it will work otherwise or give up on it.

Maybe my view of systemd will change if I delete all of the other binaries and just use the init module. Who the fuck decided to put a fucking log in manager with the init system???? This is the feature bloat that I'm talking about and I hate it

Yes of course, transacting amounts close to the payments you want to make is a bad idea.

I should probably study a bit more about MW, it's been a while

[–] Findmysec@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I do not know the specifics of how MimbleWimble works, but like XMR, transaction history and metadata is no longer public. Your trace of coins are effectively evaporated when you move coins over MW to another wallet from your "compromised" wallet, and from there you convert to XMR/move to another LTC wallet and pay merchants who accept LTC without MW. Obviously, basic OPSEC is expected but other than that the technology is supposed to work fairly well.

You could also do a swap like LTC->XMR->LTC and spend it that way, losing some money in the process but soothing paranoia in return

I just never looked into BCH, I'll take a look thanks

[–] Findmysec@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago (6 children)

You can just create two different accounts, both with MW on LTC and pass coins between them to break the chain. But yes you're right, I wish it was opt-out instead of opt-in

 

Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you.

Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You'll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent.

I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.

A lot many individuals run TOR exit nodes, but I never hear about people running their own I2P outproxies. Is it really hard to host, or is there some other reason? I thought that if you could run a TOR exit node I'd think you'd be just fine running an I2P outproxy.

Running more outproxies will help in bridging torrents from the clearnet to I2P, which would be a very good move considering the crackdowns on torrents right now. Companies even want to involve civilians into their lawsuits in Sweden now, making the need for privacy/anonymity even more important when torrenting, which I2P provides.

 

Every now and then I'll get an email from someone higher up in Wikipedia asking for a donation. I don't really mind a tenner but I don't know if it pads the pockets of corporate management or actual contributors. Also, are they really short of money or is this tugging at emotional strings a play at something else? I wish Wikipedia survives but there's a lot of projects I need to donate to and I have a budget.

 

I've never known so many shutdowns inside 2 weeks as the last two have been. Even websites pirating manga were shut down. What happened? What's with this massive legal wave of shutdowns, and why now?

 

The title is really vague, so I'll try to clarify my intentions here:

I am an ardent supporter of FOSS. It will be greatly beneficial for my life and especially my privacy to self-host such software. Yet, I cannot find much motivation to do so.

However, when it comes to hosting software for public use, I can usually give my utmost concentration and dedication.

This is not how I want my life to be. I want to be motivated for myself as well as for the community. And if that's not possible, I need to trick my brain into bringing me into that kind of zone for myself.

What do I do? What would you do in this situation?

 

Hi everyone,

This is my CONTAINERFILE for Bind9:

FROM debian

ENV LC_ALL C.UTF-8

# Update and upgrade system
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

# Install BIND 9 and sudo (for debugging if needed)
RUN apt-get install -y bind9 bind9-dnsutils bind9-libs bind9-utils sudo

# Configure permissions for BIND directories
RUN mkdir -p /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind
RUN chown -R bind:bind /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind
RUN chmod 664 /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind
RUN chmod -R 664 /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind

# Create and configure log files
RUN touch /var/log/bind/default.log /var/log/bind/update_debug.log /var/log/bind/security_info.log /var/log/bind/bind.log
RUN chown -R bind:bind /var/log/bind
RUN chmod 644 /var/log/bind/*.log

# Define volumes
VOLUME ["/etc/bind", "/var/cache/bind", "/var/lib/bind", "/var/log/bind"]

# Set the entrypoint to the named executable
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/named"]

# Set the default command arguments for the named executable
CMD ["-g"]

I keep getting this error when I run it with podman:

26-Jul-2024 03:18:21.328 loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf'
26-Jul-2024 03:18:21.328 directory '/var/cache/bind' is not writable
26-Jul-2024 03:18:21.332 /etc/bind/named.conf.options:2: parsing failed: permission denied

As you can see from the CONTAINERFILE, the bind user should be able to read and write to /var/cache/bind but for some reason it doesn't.

I have been at this for a while and I'm at my wits end. Your help is appreciated!
