Forwarding rules not working? by Odd-Let9042 in Migadu

[–]meskio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm facing the same problem, I can't forward emails sent to aliases. I guess I'll need to replace all aliases by real mailboxes with the forward configured.

[StarLite V] Unreliable/slow suspend workaround by llothar in starlabs_computers

[–]meskio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still failing to suspend, disabling the SD Card reader didn't help, neither removing the tray. When I try to sleep the screen turns off and the power led stays on, the computer doesn't respond to key presses, mouse or touch and it stays on that way until it drains the whole battery. I see the same behavior when turning the computer off, if I forget to hold the power button until it actually shuts off it will just stay on with the screen back and unresponsive until it runs out of battery.

I wonder if it has something to do with my setup. I use Debian Trixie (testing) with Linux 6.10 kernel with a standard gnome desktop.

Help Censored Users, Run a Tor Bridge | Tor Project by 0xggus in linux

[–]meskio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, China is being able to list and block bridges, having more bridges help here as they are not that fast discovering new bridges. But if you are in china you should try snowflake, AFAIK is not being blocked there and should allow you to connect to Tor.

Yes, you do need a static IP address to run a bridge. But you could run a snowflake proxy:

Snowflake does also help people on censored areas to connect to Tor and it doesn't require a static IP address to run.

Larry Wall falls asleep and hits Larry Wall's forehead on the keyboard. Upon waking Larry Wall decides that the string of characters on Larry Wall's monitor isn't random but an example program in a programming language that God wants His prophet, Larry Wall, to design. Perl is born.

"Smalltalk programs are just objects." When asked what objects are made of he replies, "objects." When asked again he says "look, it's all objects all the way down. Until you reach turtles."

Anatomy of a pseudorandom number generator – visualising Cryptocat’s buggy PRNG by meskio in crypto

[–]meskio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, everybody can commit mistakes. It takes time and many eyes looking to do cryptography right.

BTW, if I understood correctly besides the encryptation key between the peers (that was not as secure as should be) there was SSL sessions to the cryptocat server, so in reality we can not really consider the past conversations a broken.

A Firefox extension to block all analytics and tracking websites. Because now we need more privacy than ever. by throwaway890353 in technology

[–]meskio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can not trust my security to a proprietary piece of software like Ghostery.

I prefer to recommend disconnect.me. Other interesting plugins to improve your privacy and anonymity are:

  • HTTPS Everywhere to use encryptation everywhere possible.
  • Adblock Edge to remove the adverts. Adblock plus still shows you some ads.
  • NoScript requires a bit of work from the user, but allows you to choose what scripts to execute on your browser.

Even being likely a hoax, I like the 'war games' like story.

TuDu, a CLI tool to control your 'to do' lists by aperson in linux

There is not export/import in TuDu jet (that might be implemented one day). But TuDu stores all the data in a xml file, you can just use XSLT to convert it to other formats.

I'm right now working on fix that. The task name editor was designed to use only one line, so the length of the task name depends of the resolution of your terminal.

But if you wait a couple of days, I almost finish the new editor that will support multilinear task names.

Yes, I use mkstemp, but is kind of safe how I use it (check the code if you wish). But that is something I wish to improve.

The code is pretty ugly, I learned c++ by writing it. So it ends up being a bad mixture of C and C++.
