To save ourselves, our children and the future generations from the very painful decimation or, more probably, the extinction of our species and so many others, let's organize for the necessary ancom International: https://bu.noblogs.org/the-necessary-international/ - until Global Liberation.

I like persimmons a lot.

@jones, dici che ce la farebbimo a mettere searxng¹ sul server dell'officina, così posso farmi ricerche supercustom senza vedere risultati che si riferiscono a un fiume brasiliano?

¹ https://github.com/searxng/searxng

jones,

@GustavinoBevilacqua ma penso di si, però sei sicuro che a metterlo su un tuo server puoi personalizzarlo di più che a usarlo su un server altrui? Io no.

jones,

@valhalla @GustavinoBevilacqua
Ma credo che Gustavo non abbia in programma, almeno per ora, di rendere la sua istanza searxng disponibile al di fuori della sua LAN. Però forse mi sbaglio. Comunque la mia impressione è che la sua esigenza sia suppergiù quella che ho descritto qui: https://graeber.social/@jones/111908714937022761
(Discalimer: sono anche un po' ubriachetto, trattatemi con cortesia e competenza, se non con affetto).

jones,

@valhalla @GustavinoBevilacqua

"Discalimer" invece di "Disclaimer" è certamente un buon lapsus.

Vuoi scendere?

Devo andare a comprare la legna per la stufa.

jones,

@GustavinoBevilacqua poi ci siamo incontrati sotto la pioggia, tu ti stavi chiudendo la porta di casa alle spalle, io stavo tornando dal bar e ti ho detto "non posso, è troppo presto, e ho degli impegni", e poi ci siamo baciati alla russa, sotto la pioggia, e ti ho detto "ora vai, vai, prima che sia troppo tardi, prima che Pepinzia capisca, questo nostro amore è impossibile, ma non preoccuparti per me, troverò qualche altra sistemazione, ci scriveremo...", ed eccoci qua.

Ma quanto manca allo shutdown di nebbia?

jones,

@NicholasLaney @mandorlo

Però non è vero: se la chiudete a modino, ovvero da SSH sul server su cui sta, con il comando "tootctl self-destruct", viene mandata una notifica di chiusura di nebbia a tutte le istanze note a nebbia (che sono tutte quelle che ospitano account con cui tutti gli account di nebbia hanno interagito da quando è nata), e tutte queste istanze cancellano tutti i post di tutt* le utent* nebbia che hanno ricevuto: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#self-destruct 🙂

Yesterday i connected my notebook to the internet using USB tethering on my Android 12 cell phone; my SIM is a Wind SIM, so Wind is the connection provider; for the 1st time ever (to my knowledge), the data connection was on ipv6 (only: no ipv4 added), and i discovered it was not behind any firewall at the provider (that is, Wind), and that Android 12 (i guess it's one of the latest releases) has no builtin firewall for ipv6, so, if it was not for its software firewall, any network service (1/2)

Every time public or corporate officials go to the press to cry about how they are under "cyber attack" with "a million attacks just during the previous year" or some similarly huge sounding claim without specifying what they consider as an individual "attack", what I hear is them saying is "I am incompetent within this field".

During just the arbitrary latest ~3 days, just one of the several firewall functions of my home router blocked 5229 unsolicited externally initiated connection attempts by machines extremely probably just randomized scanning the whole Internet for any machine with a vulnerability the scanning software knows, probably intending to if they find an opening move on to automated intrusion to infect with making the infected machine scan others as well as participating in actual attacks and/or covert crypto-currency mining.

Normal since like the year 2001 and is extremely probably hitting you and everyone else too at similar rates, as I hadn't been doing anything particularly noteworthy online prior to those probably randomized scans.

Just make sure you have reasonable protection, preferably both some external hardware firewall (e.g. integrated in your home router), a software firewall on each machine and keep all software reasonably up to date, then don't worry about it.

jones,

@b9AcE i am on a router with NAT and a firewall, and i also have iptables (configured by ufw (configured easily with gufw)) with only port 26 open, for SSH - not on port 22, otherwise the logs get flooded with attempts to login exploiting misconfigurations of sshd, and-or to use known vulnerabilities of old SSH versions.

jones,

@b9AcE here are some instructions for Arch, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iptables, but they mostly apply to any other distro, though maybe many other distros come with a software firewall already configured, i don't know.

jones,

@b9AcE i don't know AsusWRT-Merlin, are they free router firmware replacements to be flashed over official router firmwares?

jones,

@b9AcE a bit off-topic, but not so much: yesterday i connected my notebook to the internet using USB tethering on my Android 12 cell phone; my SIM is a Wind SIM, so Wind is the connection provider; for the 1st time ever (to my knowledge), the data connection was on ipv6 (only: no ipv4 added), and i discovered it was not behind any firewall at the provider (that is, Wind), and that Android 12 (i guess it's one of the latest releases) has no builtin firewall for ipv6, (1/2)

jones,

@b9AcE ... so, if it was not for its software firewall, any network service running on my notebook and binding by default on any network interface could have been reached from the internet, which really sucks. (2/2)

jones,

@b9AcE another possibility, for linux and the likes, is to setup privoxy, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Privoxy, which does just that (blocking ads), and use it as the default system proxy for everything (or, at least, for the browser).

jones,

@b9AcE my opinion is slightly different: i think the best would be having ipv6 firewalled (all ports closed, in input; and obviously all ports closed in output) at the operating system level. Google should have implemented this on Android "yesterday", maybe with a mechanism like this: if an app requires to listen on ipv6, Android should ask for user's permission to open the port(s) it needs in input.

jones,

@b9AcE yes, mine was just an addendum to your post for those who are a bit more skilled, but if you are bothered with it, i won't do it anymore :)

jones,

@b9AcE yes, when the connection is done through a router, or similar fixed equipment, i agree, but i was writing only of data connections on cell phones, where that extra "firewall layer" could only be done at the provider's physical infrastructure level, posing the problem of how a user could configure it (opening ports in input) from their mobile device. However, i guess it could be done too, and the best would be to have a standardized mean to do it, not requiring to install a provider's app.

jones,

@b9AcE yes, i agree, and this reminds me of windows 95, that had no firewall at the OS level, and it was the period of phone line modem connections, so you had everything open, and there was an SMB share setup by default by w95 on your storage; so, great mess :D
Anyway, that's how ipv6 works, so i guess the first responsibility to implement a firewall on both ipv4 (because it happens to use it not behind a router) and ipv6 is on the OS producers (be it the OS of a lightbulb, or of a pc, etc.).

jones,

@b9AcE exactly, that's the point i was thinking about too: as long as those fucking shits of the industry can bounce responsibility among each other, leaving users exposed to all kinds of invasion of their privacy, they will do it, exploiting the average user's technical ignorance, which is abysmal. In order for this to change, and to not rely - even, to some extent, among "us" - on an "each one for themself" model, which is one of the pillars of bourgeois culture, the only possibility (1/2)

jones,

@b9AcE i'm not as much optimistic about human behavior as you: as you can read even just in this summary here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything#Summary, we were able to live some kind of anarcho-communism in big contexts only a very long time ago, and for a maximum of one millennium and some more, after which we have no other examples of such big anarcho-communist societies, which we had only after the hierarchical and unequal approach did so much violence, exploitation and death. That's why i think that (1/3)

jones,

@b9AcE ... if we ever managed to "set up" (sorry for my poor english), in the future, some kind of anarcho-communist societies, we would still need to use all the ways we have (arts, sports, whatever) to sublimate our dark sides, which i consider at least to some extent innate, and make harmless catharsis of them.
Which would require arts and sports, and all the rest, to be accessible to all; (2/3)

jones,

@b9AcE ... which, at least as far as arts are concerned, would require the means of productions, also those of hardware and software, to be "in the hands of everybody"; which would require to seize them (the hardware ones; but it seems to me that even the "free software movement" is not much healthy, nowadays). (3/3)

jones,

@b9AcE

> I see no reason we should be innately worse than them.

Neither do i, but i guess (only guess, with no historical knowledge of this specific example), those societal arrangements could have followed periods of unequal and hierarchical arrangement, as is true in many other similar cases: that is, that they were mainly based on knowledge of the nefarious effects that competition, aggressiveness, egoism and other dark sides of human nature, probably innate to some extent, can cause (1/?)

jones,

@b9AcE ... and on revolts/revolutions against that societal arrangement, and then on cultural elaboration of a cultural taboo against accumulation of power and wealth, that was enough only for some times, after which the hierarchical and unequal societal arrangement began forming again, and again, "in the end", established its hegemony. So, about current examples of better societies, we can't assume that, even if the world around them was not against them, they would last; (2/5)

jones,

@b9AcE ... and, as you wrote, we come from such a long period of hegemony of such hierarchical and unequal societal arrangements, that we would need to use workarounds (sublimation and catharsis) of our dark sides even if they weren't innate at all (which is difficult to sustain, because if it was so, hierarchical and unequal societal arrangements would not have formed at all "right from the start"). (3/5)

jones,

@b9AcE
Also, and most of all, we currently have a decimation-extinction problem with the current ecological state of the earth and how it connects with wars spreading, and i think it's evident that governments won't do even remotely enough to solve these two problems of ours: they're doing so little for the ecological problem (globally, greenhouse gas emissions are still increasing a lot, year after year), while they are doing more and more wars; (4/5)

jones,

@b9AcE that's why i'm convinced that the most urgent thing we need is an anarcho-communist International in the context of which we need to seize the means of production to shut down the polluting ones while building the sustainable energy production alternatives, reduce consumption, and the lands to cultivate them without polluting, and the "meat farms" to shut them down as they are unsustainable and unhealthy (viruses and so on), just as Kropotkin, Malatesta, Goldman and others said. (5/5)
