  • Dear hacker,

    How did you get my camera to work on NetBSD? I'll send whatever shitcoin you want.

  • Alternatives to Hashicorp Vault?
  • It's no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.

  • Alternatives to Hashicorp Vault?
  • Vault features are cool. I really like it. But with Hashicorp now there is this big risk of "rug pulling" regarding its license.

    The wise thing, in my opinion, is to avoid this company as much as possible.

  • Alternatives to Hashicorp Vault?

    I want a centralized way to manage keys and secrets. And some service users with little privileges over a subset of the secrets. Ideally, a service user only should be able to read its own subset of secrets. So, let's say, if a container gets pwned it will only read its secrets and no more. It should be FOSS and self-hostable.

    And a beautiful nice-to-have feature would be access log, to know who read what and when.

    My only experience with something similar is Hashicorp Vault, but I don't want to be near any Hashicorp stuff ever again.

    Do you know a FOSS alternative to Vault?

    Why people want to replace sudo with polkit? Visudo is no near as obscure as configuring polkit.

    I hope distro maintainers don't follow this.

  • What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
  • Parallel Desktop

    There are several FOSS alternatives. All of them are more popular that Parallels.

  • What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
  • Nobody likes Adobe, nobody wants to work with Adobe. Nobody can avoid Photoshop. That’s just the world we live in and I don’t like it.

    This sounds like Stockholm syndrome. You are just too familiar with Photoshop, so using anything else is hard and less efficient.

    In photography there is this mantra about "the most important part is right behind the camera". A good photographer is not a good Nikon user, or good Canon user. A good photographer can deliver decent pictures with a potato camera if needed.

    Sure, a potato camera is less efficient for any work that an actual good one. So it's good to invest in a good brand. But the point is: if you are not capable to make average results with a potato software, the problem is not in the software.

  • Reminder: crypto isn’t solarpunk. It’s cyberpunk.
  • Not true.

    The immutability of the thing is just Merkle trees. And integrity of the writings is any form of authorized blocks. From a certificate from an authority a la PKI to proof of work. And anything in between.

    The thing is that there are not too many applications for slow distributed inmutable databases.

    DNS is the only thing that I know that is globally distributed, with slow updates of domains being acceptable.

  • and they were roommates
  • omg they were roommates!

  • Reminder: crypto isn’t solarpunk. It’s cyberpunk.
  • You missed the part of they just hating money.

    A slow but decentralized and immutable database can have it's applications. You can have a semi-decentralized one if it's needed, doing stuff like PKI. I wish DNS were like that.

    But the popular use is currencies. And scams. And people here seems to hate money, even more than actual scams.

  • If you’re concerned about security, consider GPG signing your kernel with Libreboot GRUB for an additional layer of verification at boot.

    Hey! I had no idea that was possible. I usually encrypt everything but /boot, because it's easy that way.

    I don't have a "threat model" of someone puting malware in /boot while I'm away of the computer. But it would be nice to know how to prevent that.

    Do you have a link of a guide or tutorial for that?

    I still blame the engineers. At least say "congrats! you are first" or something.

  • Is my NVME drive dying?

    My laptop is working just fine. It's from 2018 and it has an NVME drive.

    It has an EFI boot partition and other partition with LUKS and LVM on top of that.

    Since this week I see these logs from time to time:

    Mar 07 17:31:14 almendra kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1d.6: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID) Mar 07 17:31:14 almendra kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1d.6: device [8086:34b6] error status/mask=00000001/00002000 Mar 07 17:31:14 almendra kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1d.6: [ 0] RxErr (First) Mar 07 17:31:14 almendra kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1d.6: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first Mar 07 17:31:14 almendra kernel: nvme 0000:02:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID) Mar 07 17:31:14 almendra kernel: nvme 0000:02:00.0: device [8086:0975] error status/mask=00000001/00002000 Mar 07 17:31:14 almendra kernel: nvme 0000:02:00.0: [ 0] RxErr (First)

    The devices are: ``` $ lspci -vv | grep 1d.6 00:1d.6 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Device 34b6 (rev 30) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])

    $ lspci -vv | grep 02:00.0 02:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Intel Corporation Optane NVME SSD H10 with Solid State Storage [Teton Glacier] (prog-if 02 [NVM Express]) ```

    The laptop works like always, but I have the impression that the NVME drive is telling me something bad.

    It happens from time to time:

    $ journalctl --since yesterday | grep -c "nvme 0000:02:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical" 9

    Do you know what does it mean?

    Receive only email server

    Hello. Let's say I want to selfhost an email server (smtp + imap) that only will be used to receive email.

    I only will send email internally (from my domain to my domain) and receive from 3rd parties.

    Should I setup DKIM, DMARC, SPF and reverse IP lookup?

    To be honest, I'm having a bit of hard time understanding the madness of email authentication. So I can't figure it out by myself if those mechanisms are needed in my case.

    I haven't deployed anything, but probably will use Stalwart. It looks like it's easy to deploy. Is there any other beginner-friendly email service I should read about?

    Thanks!

    Rate my setup: Raspberry Pi 400

    cross-posted from: https://feddit.cl/post/807710

    tl;dr: It has been two weeks using the Pi 400 as my personal computer. It's good enough for what I do, but when I need performance y connect it to my old laptop.

    ---

    So, last year I bought a Raspberry Pi 400 and I did what I always do: absolutely nothing. It was kept inside its box getting covered by dust.

    About two weeks ago I decided to clean the mess out of my desk. This desk is very small and I've got my work laptop, my personal laptop, a monitor and a lot of cables and stuff. So I put my personal laptop below the router connected by ethernet and put the Pi 400 on the desk.

    It is way slower than my laptop, obviously. So when I need performance I make an ssh tunnel for vnc and pipewire, and got my laptop DE back.

    I used fscrypt for the /home partition, because I'm too paranoid to go unencrypted and it doesn't support full disk encryption. Also added a USB stick for more local storage, ciphered with the same tool.

    I don't play video games any more :sad-pepe: so I don't miss a graphics card in the Pi.

    I bought it with the official Raspberry mouse included. But I have no idea where it ended lost.

    So now this is my "setup" lol.

    Uploading keepass database to the cloud?

    Is it insecure to upload Keepass database to Google Drive, Dropbox or any other file service in the cloud?

    I've read this answer in Security Stackexchange: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/45337

    So, I feel kinda confident if a put a big number of PBKDF2 iterations, like 10.000.000, it should be OK.

    My master password is based on diceware, but is not very very long because I need to remember it.

    What do you people think about this?

    Just finished this bad boi

    YMDK Air40 with DSA keycaps.

    I'm trying to not use mouse, but the keyboard instead. So mouse movement, scroll and clicks are mapped in keys in a convenient layer.

    It took me like a week to get used to ortholinear arrangement. But I've never type really fast in my life anyways.

    I'm definitely not faster, but my writs stay more relaxed and are almost always still.
