SNotepad + Syncthing

A Syncthing relay, very simple to set up, I always install it when I have no need for a VPS but it’s paid for until the end of the month

Looks like it just have to be like that with all open source projects in this space with a name ending in “cloud” ;)

Yes, I definitely had a long term strategy when posting an internet comment.

But please do elaborate what my “stance on general purpose computing” is? Genuinely curious.

My feeling is you’re pro general purpose computing and against censorship. Which is why it’s strange to see you make fun of a provider for not censoring their product enough. I was referring only to that part of the article.

I see your stand from the comment above though, I’m not going to argue that. Peace.

There wasn’t, but it’s not the first article you wrote that I read, and I know your stance on general purpose computing. Why is a general purpose language model somehow a bigger problem?

that is so hilariously unsafe that its guardrails can be subverted by a tactic a 13-year-old uses when they want to prank-call someone. And that Anthropic refuses to take responsibility for that unsafe product.

We should ban general computing too, it’s scary how unsafe these things are!

Nice - but it’s a pretty crowded space between Zeronet and IPFS and possibly others. And even these well-known ones barely see any serious use. And these projects have been promoted pretty heavily. You need fanatical users ;)

What are you creating?

I’m so tired of coding for work, even though I always liked the thrill of just exploring where a project would take me. I’ve been neglecting my personal projects and, over time, stopped feeling bad about it. I have plenty of opportunities at work to learn about new things, it’s okay if I do something unrelated in my free time.

LLMs gave me some relief with work and I’m now able to at least think about programming other things for fun, but haven’t done any actual project yet.

You can easily forward arbitrary IP traffic if you get an additional IP for that VPS. Then you add the IP as your own on the local end, and set up routing like

ip r a 1.2.3.4 via 10.10.10.10 dev wg0 where 1.2.3.4 is the extra ip, and 10.10.10.10 is your local wireguard address.

With just one IP, you can forward ports over wireguard with iptables, but I failed to do that correctly.

Now I’m using xinetd to forward traffic from external ports to Wireguard with a single IP. iptables would be better but I ran out of patience.

Yay i satisfied big chungus!

Save that post for the next time when someone with too much time on their hands asks what project they should start/contribute to.

Git controlled docker-compose files and backed up docker data volumes.pretty easy to go back to a point in time.

Ephemeral diffie-hellman is exactly that, it’s part of TLS since I think 1.2

At some point there was a browser extension to support DANE (and Perspectives and similar approaches against centralization) but since then, browser vendors fixed that security flaw.

No, but I have a link showing how ISPs and CAs colluded to do a MITM https://notes.valdikss.org.ru/jabber.ru-mitm/

Shorter cert lifespan would not prevent this.

Or just meet and maintain that friendship

Haha, server grade hardware. Impressive, actually, that it survived so many years. I have a similar one in my car and it’s 10+ years old and works okay, but another one that’s permanently sticked in my server with an emergency boot image died when it was needed the most.
