@stefano I bet they are requesting .env and .conf too.

Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers

This weekend I'll have something to read.

This looks interesting: https://radicle.xyz/

LLMs being used as a search engine "on steroids" is actually a good use case, IMHO.

You don't have to blindly trust the output, but instead have something to keep searching for an answer.

I've been using my Toshiba netbook for two days and I love/hate it.

The keyboard is very unergonomic. Maybe that's the reason netbooks are not popular anymore.

To find software that supports i686 machines is harder than expected. What's the purpouse of high level languages if not abstract the machine? Also I have found *zero* modern web browsers available for i686. Dillo works great for non-js websites, which are not a lot, sadly. Anything based on webkit crashes and I should try to find out why.

TUI/CLI stuff works OK, of course (Now I'm tooting with toot-cli), which kinda makes this thing ideal for hanging out in tilde servers.

But in general, it feels very cool to not need more than 32bits addr space and 2 GiB of RAM to do stuff. Of course I don't need a supercomputer to read some toots and to read some email!

Upgrading this Toshiba NB105.

Fortunately DDR2 prices are not that crazy. I also replaced the keyboard and the drive.

My cat is helping me with the cat hair inside the netbook.

I just learned about Reticulum Network Stack.

Basically, it's a decentralized & encrypted network that can be on top of IP, Ethernet, wifi, LoRa, AX.25 or anything capable to transmit digital data.

Looks interesting.

Gonna test it on some VMs.

The infosec hell was never users writing down their password in a post-it stuck to their monitor.

The true infosec hell is developers trusting centralized repositories of "open source" that nobody reads nor audits.

Again I have to battle against devs that, for pure convenience and laziness, put users and the company at the mercy of any random of the internet, with the willing to perform a supply chain attack.

@stefano I have never used btrfs. But I always read horror stories about it.

All I understand about btrfs is it's eternally in beta testing phase.

Computer: There's a nice dog on the cat tree.
Me: Wait. What!? You sure?
Computer: Yes. I'm 93% sure.

Sending mail from residential ip be like:

It's easily solvable using a "free" SMTP relay. But the privacy benefits of self-hosting are lost.

I'm using smtp2go to deliver to outlook and gmail. I have no idea if smtp2go is good or no. Do you have any recommendation?

To be fair, AWS tells you that you shouldn't rely on a single region.

But yeah, half of the internet shouldn't rely on AWS neither.

Is there a way to have nginx calling blocklistd in NetBSD?

Like, when it returns 444 or 403 statuses?

I'm selfhosting a cctv system, Frigate.

Two ip cameras and an old laptop.

I was able to check on my cats while I was on vacations. Really cool.

The only problem is that I couldn't find free/open ip cameras. I got two proprietary cameras that work with proprietary (and poorly written) android app. Had to use and old phone to set up the cameras, the rstp:// urls and static ip addresses. I hated every minute I spent on that app.

But frigate was really easy to install and configure. Sadly, it's linux-centric, like most of modern foss.
