the whois info for the IP might have an abuse email address, try that

that mostly matters for domains on billboards, flyers and in ads. but you’ll only see this domain in links on your computer, where it’s just a click regardless of the length.

maybe a friend has the 3d printer? also, reduce, reuse, recycle. and finally, it likely consumes less power.

what made you choose that distro?

I already considered that, and for an untrusted website I already don’t trust the content or the scripts. So it doesn’t matter if it was modified or not, it’s still untrusted.

but then why are you reading it? is it cat photos and cooking recipes only? or does it have articles about pricey things you could buy, news, life improvement tips, car and other thing repair docs/advice?

I remember reading about some kind of an alternate DNS root servers. they have some unique TLDs (sounds risky though, the possibility of future name clashes). not too popular, but it is being used. I think this is it: opennic.org

but there are more: icannwiki.org/Alternative_Roots

though, it will not salvage the .org TLD. such a shame it got to that…

I don’t agree, I think there is a difference in likely outcomes. but even without scripts, you don’t want you article’s content (text, images, statements or names) be falsified by an attacker. Unless you are just reading the article to waste time, and magically what you read will not influence your views.

If you inspect the generated timer you see the same format in the OnCalendar line.

but without the command

What do you mean by persisted? The service and timer will both be there as long as the timer doesn’t end. Which it won’t in my example.

I mean saved to a file so that it will still be there after reboot

SSL/TLS have very specific benefits. None of which matter that much for reading random articles on the web.

it is a huge benefit if a man in the middle cannot run scripts on your computer.

So I don’t see the problem with this website doing their own thing to bring attention to the potential issues of the current system.

there is no problem with that. this could work, with the required patch to firefox, also in the repo.

then why use DANE. this is just plain old TOFU

the repo readme writes about this. Firefox does not yet support DANE, it needs a patch, included in the repo.

you are probably aware, but with DNS you are still dependent on a third party, namely the whims of the united states. check what happened with austiciti.org recently

thank you. this creates it, but is there a way to view or edit its current configuration in a similar format? and this is not persisted, is it?

do the files get modified after uploading? some filesystems can deduplicate based on contents, maybe it wouldn’t take double space that way.

I generally like some things that syatemd gives, but is there an easier way to create timed automations with systemd timers?

with cron, its just a single line with the recurrence pattern and the command. with systemd, you have to create a timer unit file with several lines, a service unit file with several lines, put them in the right directory, reload systemd, enable the timer. timers are not difficult, but much more convoluted than the crontab.

is systemd available for windows and mac?

it seems it has already been

OxyLabs seems to block Streaming in their TOS

but you won’t be streaming, technically you just need that for the login

they haven’t published binaries either though

vibecoding and security don’t pair well.

Prometheus is mostly for regularly collected statistics and state. what would you recommend for statistics that are only collected when something happens? stats that aren’t available on schedule. as an example, take UPS state changes to battery mode or overvoltage mode. Prometheus can’t collect them when they are short lived.

also: I did not realize until now, and also it might just he a coincidence, but it looks like as if your max swap usage with plenty of cached memory would be 10% of your RAM. I wonder if it would top out at half of that with a swappiness setting of 5. if you try it, load back all your swapped memory first.

cache is good, but you shouldn’t have that much swap usage with that overall memory utilization. 8t seems the kernel is making a decision to move a significant amount of memory to swap to have just a little bit more cache. that could make sense in some situations, especially with lots of RAM and a slow disk that is frequently accessed… but probably not on your system. I see you have already reduced swappiness to 10, so maybe all that was snapped out is really rarely used memory, but I wouldn’t want even that on an SSD so you could try setting swappiness to 0. that way it should only use the swap when there is no more cache to free, I think, but the behaviour of this sysctl was not always clear like that.

I’m happy enough we got on a platform that is at the very least e2ee

that’s mostly just a myth. tbh I would prefer imessage over whatsapp, if I could run an imessage bridge.

well, that’s true, the reason for that is battery efficiency. the chat client does not need to be awaken constantly to receive notifications, a lightweight app can do that which will wake up the chat client when needed. fewer long term network connections, lower idle memory usage, faster routines handling the bare minimum

afaik I2P was forked from Freenet. I wonder what makes that big of a difference in performance.

and what will handle the breaking changes? and the release verification?

and I routinely get key errors

did you try reporting them? they are watching for reports, and they are making automated tests for all cases they receive. you should probably both open an issue in the client repo, and then use the “report a problem” button in the client and paste the github issue link. before you send the report open the chat with the decryption error, or try to reproduce it with a new message if you can, so that they can get better logs. probably also toggle on the “contact me”.

if you get a new message that can’t be decrypted, send a report from the client soon. don’t need to open a different issue if you don’t want.

But it also requires a third party for push service

not necessarily, you can host ntfy or something else yourself too

molly has support for unifiedpush, the new messagd ping does not need togo through google. it also has better multi device support, and is available through f-droid with their own repo. location sharing uses osm instead of google maps, but of course signal users will still hand over your shared location data to google
