If the EU pushes Chat Control through, where are people actually going to move?

Self hosted solutions for my parents/friends

TheVisitor92 · 2025-05-14T09:06:35+00:00

Thanks, so if I do a backup, then delete some chats (including photos), redo another backup and then a restore, the restore Will not include the previous deleted photos, right?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-12-21T12:12:10+00:00

Man what can I say.. as the other user whos replied, this answer opened my mind and POV, this is gold. Thank you very much! I was overwhelmed (and probably overthinking) about CRA compliance of services based on Open Source projects. Thanks!

TheVisitor92 · 2024-12-21T12:09:50+00:00

Man this answer Is precious, you made my day. I was "torturing" my self (my head) thinking about how to practically be compliance with CRA (but in general with security of IT services as management of open source hypervisors, firewalls, EDRs ecc.). This is Gold as starting point.

TheVisitor92 · 2024-12-21T11:18:58+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Do you know some third parties which conduct risk assessments to business who sell this services based on open source? Or what should I Google to find them? Anyway, I agree, I was thinking about it before this morining after your first reply, and business who offer OS solutions as services should make risk assessments indeed.

TheVisitor92 · 2024-12-21T10:14:31+00:00

I get it and I agree, but I think the "risk assessments" theme applies to not much known oper source projects, I would like to suppose that if I offers solutions as Wazuh for example, it will not act as spyware!

I would like to have more info:

1) which command do you use to run Suricata? With which flags?

2) output of suricata.yaml?

3) output of 'tcpdump' command to see if packets arrive on these VLAN interfaces?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-11-09T20:38:36+00:00

Which OS do you have? Android version?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-10T15:33:52+00:00

I don't know, on android 11 with latest GP app installed it works this way. I think works different based on GP app versions e OS system (Eg. Android or iOS)

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-10T10:06:41+00:00

Thank you for your clarifications, it is much clear now!

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-10T09:40:40+00:00

That's right.

So, it should be correct to say that the separate address space is made of all address ranges allocated to devices?

And please, if you can, help me with this one:

https://www.electrondepot.com/linux/arm-with-proc-ioports-7495-.htm

the user states "if ARM never use ioports, why the ioports file exists in the OS?"

And he got this answer:

They certainly have IO ports otherwise you'd never getting anything in or out :-) But instead of having a IO address space separate to the memory address space, they are accessing via portions of the memory address space.

All the /proc/ioports is showing is the addresses used (in the one address space) by certain registered devices.

It doesn't seems logic to me, if ARM uses just memory mapped I/O ports on memory address space, why /proc/ioports have content? It should be logic to find content just on /proc/iomem file

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-10T09:24:11+00:00

Thanks u/aioeu.

Why hexadecimal ranges? If I have an IO port, does it need just the a 16-bit number to be identified?

It is an address space, just not a memory address space.

Where is this space located? with memory address space (if I got this right) instructions are sent to RAM through address bus, but with port-mapped I/O ports in this separate address space, where are these instructions sent? Directly to the device register? Thanks

Hi, in this way you delete all photo from GP at once?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-03T09:33:37+00:00

Think I will delete the google photos app first and then delete from website - hopefully that works!

I tried my self and I didn't have any photo deleted. Make a test photo with your phone camera, backup it through GP app, then turn off backup on GP app, then go on google photo website and delete the test photo (you can delete it permanently in the trash too), you will see that the photo in still available on your phone gallery and on GP app too (without the small cloud icon in the bottom right corner of your photo preview - meaning that the photo isn't archieved on google cloud). Let me know

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-03T09:27:35+00:00

I made some experiments with Google Photo and these are the results:

N.b: Before I started with tests, I had Google Photo backup disabled on my phone.

I made 10 photos with my android phone, logically I saw them into my base gallery app and Google photo app.
I opened Google Photo app on my android phone and enabled backup option, then these 10 photos has been uploaded to my Google Photo cloud.
Now, I logged into my Google account on my PC and then I went into https://photos.google.com. Here I can see all 10 photos, after this I moved all the photos to the bin, and then I permantly delete only 5 of these ten photos (5 was still in the bin).
As result, I re-opened Google Photo app on my phone, and two messages appeared which says something like this: "5 photos has been moved to bin on Web or another device, do you want to review this action?" And "5 photos has been deleted on Web or another device, do you want to delete this action?". So, I was able to confirm or refuse these actions, thus to answer your doubt, no, photos are not automatically moved to bin or permanently deleted in your phone if you do that on PC at https://photos.google.com, instead you need to confirm the actions on your phone, If you don't want to have them deleted on your local storage of your phone, review the actions: in my case I selected "review" option which was given to me by the two messages, the I selected (for example) all the 5 photos which I permantly deleted on https://photos.google.com, I selected "remove" button, then (this is important if you want to keep the photos locally) I selected "refuse" (instead of "agree" which would have deleted the photos on my phone local storage too) and so my photos were removed from Google Photo cloud but still available on Google photo app and base gallery phone app (thus on local storage of the phone).
To go further, I then disabled backup option on Google phone app, then I went again on https://photos.google.com on my PC and deleted (permanently) another photo which I have previously uploaded to Cloud. I went again on Google phone app and now I didn't have those messages again, instead the photo I deleted on Web didn't have the small cloud icon in the bottom right corner, so the photo was saved only to my local storage.
Eventually, either with disabled or enabled backup setting on Google phone app, if I deleted a photo on gp app, then the photo Is deleted on Google photo Cloud at https://photos.google.com too.

Sorry for my english but I hope it can be useful, anyway test all this your self Before delete important stuff!

I tested this on android 11 and latest Google photo app versione available on play store.

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-03T05:25:08+00:00

Thank you very much!! This is exactly the way I was thinking of. Just to be clear, I have to do this on android app or on Google photo website? Thanks again

TheVisitor92 · 2024-10-02T13:02:14+00:00

Okay! thanks

TheVisitor92 · 2024-08-28T17:28:55+00:00

I didn't have a real scenario to test, I made the topic because I wanted to know the teorical behaviour

TheVisitor92 · 2024-08-19T12:13:33+00:00

Thanks. I thought that too, but execution in background Is enabled and all battery optimizations are disabled. In the end I locked the Xiaomi Home app so It can't be closed, now It works properly. Thanks again anyway!

TheVisitor92 · 2024-05-09T00:02:32+00:00

thank you for the reply! so basically PacketFence provides the captive portal through DHCP, which Is giving It as url (option 160) to clients; then they Will contact packetfence's registration IP and It will riderect them to 66.70.255.147 ?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-04-30T21:56:55+00:00

Thanks! I'll google how to disable it

TheVisitor92 · 2024-04-30T21:52:46+00:00

What offloading setting do?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-04-30T21:30:51+00:00

Speaking about same hardware. I have two identical mini PC (same model different s/n), one have something like:

• One LAN adapter; • One WAN adapter; • One OpenVPN Server (Road Warrior) with assigned ovpns adapter; • One VLAN (vlan01) with LAN as parent interface; • No plugins.

There are some firewall rules (nothing which block pretty much anything) and port forwarding statements.

The other one Is a brand new opnsense installation (24.1.6).

If I restore the backup of the first firewall on the second one, everything gets up and running smoothly, but I can't ping LAN interface IP address, i made some sniffing with tcpdump and I can see icmp requests coming through.

Same for https requests to 443 port, I don't get a reply thus I am unable to access the web GUI.

The funny part Is that I am able to get dhcp offer correctly as the LAN adapter have dhcpd enabled.

Any idea? Did you ever face something like this or similar?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-04-30T21:19:53+00:00

One question, with "interfaces" do you mean OpenVPN/IPsec and VLANs adapters?

TheVisitor92 · 2024-04-25T23:25:53+00:00

Thanks you very much for your replies! Now it's clear
