I bet he's paid nothing to do it. Then one day, when a timing attack happens that can be traced to the DB, some knobhead CTOs and tech influencers will start talking about "securing the supply chain". They'll want other such bullshit and responsibilities to be shoved unto volunteers.
It's not a conspiracy theory. It's exactly what Malus did and why it's harder to root iPhones nowadays (but the EU is seeing to that by forcing them to start opening up their walled garden).
Can't remember where I read it, but I think it's the dude who started AsahiLinux that shared part of his story in the scene. And a few dudes were tracked down and had the choice between a lawsuit and employment. Makes the decision pretty easy.
Doesn't help that they did their thing on Github and other public platforms instead of I2P or something.
Probably the biggest drivers are Microsoft (being greedy pigs and making their UX worse) and Valve (promoting gaming on Linux). It should've been the Linux Foundation, IMO, but allocated spend 2% of their budget to linux.
OK, so you'd be fine with everything you said in private being recorded and then shared with the world? Are you confident you've never said anything that's offensive to anybody? You don't harbor any opinions you'd only share in private? No information you'd rather keep private? "As long as a participant in the conversation shared it, it's fair game", right?
Holy shit, they're nearly there! Does she even have a mastodon account? Mastodonians could be spamming her campaign to join it. Looks like she has a big following on it.
No surprise there. What are we even doing? I haven't written something important at work since the beginning of my career. It is/was a learning experience for sure - I'm not dumber for it, but nothing I wrote had to be written. The world could've done without any product I helped develop.
Quite the ride you had there. I rarely reinstall even if my system is borked and just fight through everything until it's fixed. I can understand not having that kind of time though.
This is when I realised I can’t recommend nixos to normal people. If for any reason you need to install sth. that is not in the packages you are fucked.
💯
After thinking about installing it on a friend's laptop, I too ran into the issue of not finding some software and realised it would be me playing packager and package maintainer. It's simple to install Debian and call it a day.
However once I managed to get the update working i wasn’t able to login into x11 anymore and Wayland seems inperformant in gaming.
This is definitely a reason I don't want to use wayland yet. Maybe in a year or more it might become my main, but until then X11 it'll have to be.
However, why do you need to boot with NVIDIA? Does GPU passthrough not work if you don't? What type of VM are you using? KVM?
So? Does it need more? Seems to be doing just fine.
Are we really doing fine? 4% linux market share? Windows is a default? 8 fellows and 28 "leaders"? That's "fine"?
Not sure why people think the linux foundation should only do the kernel, it supports a wide variety of open source projects.
The maintainers are burning out, the developers are graying, there could be more tests, Rust could be a bigger focus, hundreds of positions from trainee and beyond could be funded, contributions via alternative means besides email could be supported, hardware support could be improved, support staff could be employed, lobbying for linux could be done (linux as a default for products, government OS default could be linux, etc.), and so much more directly related to linux could be done.
The problem isn’t making monetization available, it’s having sufficient pull in the market to make it viable.
That's creating an chicken and egg problem.
We won't create monetization options until there's pullWe won't join until there's monetization
Someone has to break the tie and it's much easier for us than content creators.
When we’re talking about video storage those petabytes start getting really expensive.
You're worrying about a scenario a decade out. Also it's not like peertube is a single entity. It's a federated group of servers that will each host a part of the total. Not every peer will host the total, so there are no such restrictions on storage.
I will never understand why people name stuff just by opening an English dictionary and simply picking a word.
Also why start a browser with C++? Google and Mozilla don't employ nincompoops to work on their browsers and still say 70% of their CVEs are due to memory management errors from C++. Instead of learning from that, they start yet another browser in C++.
In theory it great that this org wants to make an alternative, and probably being funded by a millionaire (billionaire?) can't hurt, but C++ man? Come on...
As you can see the request to wikipedia itself does not go through a nameserver, only the DNS request does. It's the entire reason Firefox has the option to proxy DNS queries over the proxy: to avoid DNS leaks
Right now, all that should be happening is DNS requests being proxied, not the rest of your traffic.
There's a huge difference when I enter https://one.one.one.one/help/ normally with "Use system proxy settings" in my browser and when I enter it with a "Manual proxy configuration" with the SOCKS Host set up and "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5" checked on.
To me that indicates the DNS proxy through TOR isn't actually working with your dnscrypt setup 🤔 However it's difficult to debug from here. It's possible the DNS query is slow, but because the actual HTTP request is going through your standard internet with no proxy it's fast, and when you do turn on the proxy for HTTP/S requests, you observe actually using TOR for everything and thus the latency.
Could you run these commands please
sh
# Find which process is running the local DNS server
sudo ss -plant | grep ":53 " # alternatively sudo netstat -plant | grep ":53 "
# Check your DNS resolver config
# You can share it or not, but 127.0.0.1 MUST be in it, otherwise your DNS queries aren't being encrypted/proxied
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Measure how long it takes to query a new domain name
time dig techhub.hpe.com
time dig bash.org
time dig element.io
If you feel comfortable with it, you share the logs of dnscrypt (I don't know what kind of information is in there, so you might have to clean it).
journalctl -u dnscrypt-proxy2 or just systemctl status dnscrypt-proxy2. Either here or PMed. Here are encrypted pastebin alternatives.
I don't think that's a correct assumption. DNS just resolves domain names to IPs. When you access a website, if the IP isn't in your dns cache, it will look it up and that's the only part that should be going through dnscrypt. The actual request to the site goes to the IP directly. To use TOR across your entire system, it should either be used as a VPN or as a system-wide proxy. Dunno how to set that up though...
You should be able to at least activate logs for dnscrypt and see which DNS entries are being requested. To have a deeper look into your traffic, the only thing I know of is wireshark, which can sniff all your packets. You should be able to observe your DNS request going to dnscrypt, possibly through TOR (I doubt the packet tracing will work, sequence numbers or something should be disrupted by going through TOR), then a request going out to the IP it found over HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443).
Got a good chuckle out of me. As for
