The ISP would only see “encrypted video call”-like traffic between you and the people who connect to Tor through your snowflake.

How/why would a VPN be useful for this ?

This lets people use your computer as an entry point into the Tor network and camouflage the traffic as a video call between you and them (if the regular, publicly known, entry nodes are blocked by their ISP or gouvernement). The snowflake extension will then forward people’s traffic through the Tor network, and services they use will only see a tor exit node’s IP, not yours. As long as you trust Tor to be secure and anonymous (I personally have very high trust in its guarantees), you don’t have to worry about legal consequences or being blocked by services.

I used to run a few (public) tor relays (entry or middle nodes, not exit ones), including one from my home network and IP. Never had any issue except for one service which blocked everything that had anything to do with Tor. I reached out for their admin, who claimed Tor users can show up with any node’s IP (which they definetly can’t, only exit nodes will forward traffic to the regular internet)

I thought funkwhale is dead

Edit: last time I checked, the funkwhale.audio website was offline and I could not find a maintained Git repo, but now the site is online and the Git repo has had recent updates. I don’t know what happened

I don’t know about other homeserver implementations but synapse kinda sucks. It used to randomly eat 100% of 1 or 2 CPU cores (including the database) until I tracked it down to 3 rooms having a messed up state which caused costly SQL queries. I removed the rooms from my server (using a third party admin panel because there’s no proper admin GUI built in, the documentation just mentions curl commands to hit the admin API, with placeholders to manually replace). It has been fine since I did it, but I’m the only user on my server. And I expect other issues to come up at any time…

It also eats a lot of storage, mostly the database. It grew very large quickly, but it’s more stable now

I found out about it while making a Jekyll plugin, the speed improvement is really noticeable

ImageMagick does the job but can be slow. libvips is à faster alternative

What I mean by “lower level” is that it has less abstractions built in

Systemd abstracts so much stuff away that it does not feel like learning Linux “from scratch” :/

(I like having it in my daily driver, but it’s sad LFS had to drop support for a “lower level” init system)

This is neat. I’ve intercepted trafic from a few apps in the past, and whenever cert pinning was enabled it was a massive pain to deal with

Blocking or allowing domains should not mess up SSL. Is there anything else filtering or intercepting the trafic ?

This would have been a (if not the only) good point to make in the article considering the title. But I guess this would have taken space away from ads

The headline is vert clickbaity : it does not affect VPN users (the law forbids age-gated websites from promoting VPNs as a circumvention), and the whole article is just an ad for VPNs

https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin is a great tool to manage and search your shell history. I especially enjoy it being able to search commands based on the working directory I was in when I ran them.

It also has more features (which I don’t use) to manage dotfiles and sync shell history across hosts/devices.

I once had a similar issue, caused by the keyboard layout in the os installer (when I defined the password) being different from the keyboard layout used for unlocking the drive. I quickly leaned to type my password in qwerty on my azerty keyboard and all is fine now.

Another similar thing I’m thinking about is trying with caps lock, as you may have had it on when defining the password

I had one such case recently, turned out it was due to a faulty SATA (data) cable. Once you find which drive is clicking, try plugging it with a new cable before declaring it dead.

dmesg output may contain some useful error messages. If you find errors related to I/O, block devices, SCSI or SATA, you should include them in your post

Someone registering the domain would be able to receive any email sent to any address under this domain, including password resets.

Reminds me of the time when I bind mounted my home dir in a chroot, then rm -rfed the chroot when I no longer needed it…

Just trying to debug some weirdness with outgoing activities from my server, looks like it’s back to normal since you saw my comment and replied to it ;)
