I remember that thanks to the Goldie Lookin Chain song Waitrose Rap, which has the line “10 items or less, were you born in a sewer, the correct grammar should be 10 items or fewer”

I think those brains are the wrong way around

Just installed it. 25 attempts in to level 1. This isn’t for me. I get it, but its so annoying. Uninstalled, no regrets.

KwikFit fucked me over once 15 years ago and I’m never going back.

Apple is BS for losers.

Someone driving a Tesla I can’t help but think of them sucking off Musk whilst being ass fucked.

To avoid copying data out of a device it would need to be stored in a secure enclave of some sort that doesnt allow that. Basically that doesnt exist on consumer devices. You need good passwords, algorithms and OpSec.

I try do that at the urinals. Followed by offering a helping hand for the final shake

It started with Emby and pihole. I’m now up to about 30 different services from Vault, email, 3CX, home assistant, firefox, podgrab etc.

I just setup netboot.xyz this evening as an experiment. Is pretty cool.

This is an interesting read, even if it is a few years old https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/examining-btrfs-linuxs-perpetually-half-finished-filesystem/

I gave up on it in in 2016 and it sounded all the same back then too with too many people giving it a pass for unacceptable behavior. I don’t think anything has really changed since.

It was fine for me too, right up to the point that it really wasn’t.

I’ve been burned by btrfs before. Never again. It’s not a good file system, especially for multi disk systems.

Yes you can do that. I do with opnsense. The username and passwd are not obvious though - they’re probably not what you use to login to the ISP portal with.

Most ISPs will have a brief FAQ on how to use third party equipment with the basics of what settings are important for your connection. You just need to enter them in to pfsense correctly. Also, sometimes searching for “<ISP_name> pfsense” can find useful blogs and articles.

It’d be nice if email clients automatically checked for public keys for any email you enter in the To fields. With a nice prompt that keys have been found to Encrypt the message with. It doesnt sound too difficult and it could lead to much wider adoption of secure emails.

Unfortunately most people get their email free because companies like reading it and stopping that means it might become a paid for service. Something I’m happy to pay for, but many wouldn’t be.

You can download the public key from the web interface. I then imported it in to gpg with a gpg --import public.asc and then used the above commands to generate the WKD structure.

Air gap is a useful strategy. But what is that system? You don’t really know anything about its origin or what any of its processors actually do. You know really nothing about any of the firmware or software you run on it. Just getting software on to it securely is a huge challenge to prove its origin and the whole supply chain. And then getting data out is a whole other problem. A general purpose computer is not a great choice if you want the best in security. And having it just in your house isn’t that secure. Obviously as I say, most people don’t need the best security.

No worries, I thought it was pretty interesting and I’d never heard of it before so thought I’d share.

The most difficult part for me was configuring nginx to properly serve the files. The gpg part was actually the easy bit.

There’s 2 methods, one uses a subdomain and one doesn’t. Without is called ‘direct’. No special DNS entries required really. I have a wildcard subdomain entry which works for me. Just so long as the key is available over HTTPS using one method.

Building genuinely secure computer systems is incredibly difficult. You might even be in systems/software and be thinking “yeah it is hard”, but to be really secure it’s 1000x harder than that. So everything you use off the shelf from any vendor is a massive compromise and has holes in it. But on the other hand most people don’t need really secure systems.
