Windows Linux Dual boot

Hello there,

I have a question. If I'm doing windows linux dual boot, is there any possibiliy that windows can spy my data on linux? Or: if i got ransomwared on windows, is my linux part of my pc safe or not?

How can I prevent all above?

Thx

I don't think Windows will spy on Linux, but you never know, as we don't have the source code of Windows to look it up.
If you get ransomed, they can lock the whole ssd, even if your Linux partition might be encrypted already. And even if you have Linux on a separate ssd.

To prevent all that, practice good use of Windows without going to questionable websites or downloading apps from random places. But the best would be to either have a different PC for Linux. You can buy a small factor PC for $99 these days, brand new. Or, each time before you boot into windows, you disable on the BIOS the SSD with Linux in it. This way, no Windows malware can "see" that there's another SSD there, so they won't be able to lock it. Unless of course they lock your BIOS too...

BIOS /UEFI malware exist too. Your suggested best practices should also factor this in. Basically if you're being targeted there's nothing you can do but by being aware of these risks you have a better chance to keep yourself safe.

The BEST way if you must use Windows, is to have it in a VM on a Linux host. Isolated in its own sandbox.

It depends on the software. If it's audio real time stuff you need to run, a VM doesn't help.

Yeah, and also games often require a real install. I think aside from those types of scenarios, the safest, most efficient and convenient is a VM.

Other systems should not be able to see your data on a Linux install as long as the disk is encrypted, which is proposed during the install of many distros.

AFAIU, ransomware will try to lock all devices, USB drives, etc, so no, your Linux install is not safe from that if it is on the same machine. Even machine on the same network might be at risk.

How to prevent ? Backup! Loosing your entire machine data should not be an issue but just a matter of re-installing the OS and recovering your data from a backup. Have at least two backup, including one outside of your house.

About dualbooting though... Putting Windows + anything else on a single drive is a really bad idea and Windows WILL try and take over it, at least breaking the boot partition. More concerning, and it actually happened to me recently: when putting a Linux on one disk and Windows on an other in the same machine, the Windows somehow still managed to break the Linux boot partition...

So if you can afford it and really want to have both OS, you should try and have two machines or at least install Linux on a drive that you can easily unplug.

I hope this will be helpful, good luck!

I had a dualboot on my last laptop for a long time and seems they've toned the overwriting of the bootloader way down since the invention of EFI. For the last 8 years or so it occasionally changes the boot order to default to Windows, every time these larger updates come in. But it doesn't seem to overwrite anything any more.

Other than that, I'd also recommend Backups. Windows doesn't come with drivers for these filesystems, so it can't read Linux files. But theoretically things could happen to the data on a harddisk nonetheless.

Y'know, there’s a little part of me that suspects that just because Windoze will not read certain file systems for the user doesn’t mean it doesn’t read those file systems. Especially now that data theft is their business model. I know it’s a little paranoid, but the OS may very well be reading stuff it claims to not recognize. Just food for thought.

I don't think Microsoft are that clever or malicious in that way. There are third party drivers available and I don't know what all the Linux parts in Windows these days are able to do... So it's definitely possible. But I think you're looking more for a targeted attack with this. Like an agency or a hacker singling you out because they know you have valuable data on that filesystem. But Microsoft's business model is more fishing for the easy targets and funneling data en masse, not the niche stuff... That might change at some point one day once the Linux subsystem automounts filesystems or something like that.

Like I said elsewhere, the ideal way if you absolutely need to run Winblows on the same machine, is to do so within a VM on the Linux host. Not usually an option if the purpose is gaming, and, well, usually the purpose is gaming.

I cannot answer definitively, but it's highly unlikely that windows could access any data from your Linux partition. That said, if you're that concerned about the potential for this to happen, perhaps your shouldn't use windows at all. This is coming from a PC gamer who uses Linux exclusively.

I tried to dual boot for a while but it was just not worth the hassle as Windows always broke something and after almost every update I had to try and fix my Linux install. Windows is basically malware at this point.

I use KVM and put Windows in a VM for those things that it still is needed for. Don’t use it much these days. Dual booting was just too difficult.

That's a sensible approach. I used to need Windows for one particular program that I couldn't get to run on Linux and i also put it in a VM. Luckily I've found a replacement since.

I work with a Grub boot for Win11 / Debian on the same disk (work provided laptop without the persuasion to change my employer MS-First policy) but one of the lucky ones I guess.
No problem for 2 years now.

Only thing after a big Windows update it forgets its TPM Bitlocker key for its own partition. Must type it like once in 2 months manually.

If you install Linux first, Windows will see a grub partition on install and go "Oh, let me use this too" disregarding it's for an entirely different OS. Then when grub is updated by Windows it goes "What's all this crap, nah, we don't need any of this" and then your Linux distro can't be booted.

I've dual booted for years, never had an issue because I installed Windows first.

if we're being paranoid, unplug or swap out the linux disks while running windows
i wouldn't bother though, windows itself doesn't mount non-ntfs partitions (again, unless we're being paranoid and assume that they do, since it is relatively easily done, it's open source, technically they could be able to do it)
also people in this thread are not doing dual booting right, i have multiple pcs with windows and various linuxes, the latest machine has two distros as well, and i never had an issue, in many years (the oldest is an athlon x2 with windows 7 and mint 22.1)
i think the key to my success is that i install them on separate drives, so windows has its own boot sector and everything, and then the linux bootloaders find it and do their own thing

Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.

If you want to make absolutely sure that Windows can't spy on anything, you'll need to physically remove the storage device containing Linux when booting.

A more practical but slightly less secure approach is to enable full disk encryption on Linux. Then, if Windows does decide to get sneaky it'll only see random data.

This doesn't prevent hostile code such as ransomware from destroying the data though. For that, you need to have good backup hygene.

A good backup system is to have automatic daily backups to some online cloud storage provider, and weekly or monthly backups to a physical device you keep disconnected and safe.

Mounting a drive is the function of the OS. If you mean automatically disabling a port, no, typically motherboards don't have that functionality.

Windows cannot access EXT4 or BTRFS by default. Also in Linux you can use LUKS to have your partition encrypted, and Windows even with a ext4/btrfs driver will not be able to read your data.

Of course Windows, if infected, could wipe your partition table or things like this.

I have been using Linux as my daily driver for quite some time (around 5-6 years) and usually manage to get whatever needs to be done.

Robot builds a robot's brain: AI generated drone command and control station hosted in the sky

Web.
PDF.
> Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) including large language models (LLMs) and hybrid reasoning models present an opportunity to reimagine how autonomous robots such as drones are designed, developed, and validated. Here, we demonstrate a fully AI-generated drone control system: with minimal human input, an artificial intelligence (AI) model authored all the code for a real-time, self-hosted drone command and control platform, which was deployed and demonstrated on a real drone in flight as well as a simulated virtual drone in the cloud. The system enables real-time mapping, flight telemetry, autonomous mission planning and execution, and safety protocolsall orchestrated through a web interface hosted directly on the drone itself. Not a single line of code was written by a human. We quantitatively benchmark system performance, code complexity, and development speed against prior, human-coded architectures, finding that AI-generated code can deliver functionally complete command-and-control stacks at orders-of-magnitude faster development cycles, though with identifiable current limitations related to specific model context window and reasoning depth. Our analysis uncovers the practical boundaries of AI-driven robot control code generation at current model scales, as well as emergent strengths and failure modes in AI-generated robotics code. This work sets a precedent for the autonomous creation of robot control systems and, more broadly, suggests a new paradigm for robotics engineeringone in which future robots may be largely co-designed, developed, and verified by artificial intelligence. In this initial work, a robot built a robot's brain.

Just got on first private tracker, want to start a seed

Hi I just joined my first private tracker (torrentleech). I found something in the wish list which I have. I'd like to seed it to start out on a good foot. Are there any good guides on that? I've tried in the past and utterly failed, I'm hoping it's easier to start a seed on a private tracker?

I haven't uploaded a new file to TL before but on other private trackers it was fairly straight forward. I just created the torrent in QBit, filled out their upload form making sure to follow the rules as far as naming conventions, listing metadata for the file(s), including screenshots, and copying and pasting a plot summary from somewhere like IMDB, before finally completing it all and uploading my torrent to the site for mod approval. I'm away from my PC right now so I can't check but I'm sure they have their upload requirements listed in the FAQ or Rules page.

Another great way to build ratio there is to filter by torrents listed in the last couple of hours and grab them (especially freeleech) even if you have zero interest in watching the content and seeding it for as long as possible. The mods there recommended this to me back when I first signed up and got banned because I hadn't uploaded or downloaded anything within the first week or two of signing up.

in reply to CmdrShepard49

You probably have to wait a while to become an uploader.

An easy way to get lots of free upload is to download framestor remux files. If it’s marked “freeleech”, it won’t cost you to download but you’ll get all the upload credit.

Okay I will start like that. I read the FAQ and it looks like I won't qualify as an uploader as I'm just short of the upload speeds they need and won't likely be able to upload many things a month.

Side question, are you constantly managing your ratio or do you think that if I run all my sonarr stuff through the the private tracker and just leave stuff to seed indefinitely that I will be okay?

Something else worth mentioning, if you have some release at home which already are on tracker, you can seed them too. Just make sure it is identical release, load torrent file from tracker and point directory to where your file is. On a different matter, make sure your client is well setup, that means to ensure you have a port rule on router leading to your pc IP and use same port on your torrent client. And if you use a VPN, prefer to setup your torrent client to use VPN connection rather than using a kill switch on VPN client.

Use autodl-irssi or autobrr to grab some free leech torrents as soon as they are uploaded. You will hit 200GB in a few hours if you have a decent upload speed and have port forwarding set correctly.

I just signed up to TL as well. I just grabbed a couple of the latest uploads (top of the browse section) that was freeleech (so download doesn't count it seems) and they finished quickly and I've already seeded a few GB which is showing up on my upload total now. Both were 15 and 30GB so they weren't small, but since they were posted within the past hour ish, there are still plenty of leechers to seed to.

I'll probably do this for a bit on any new freeleech uploads to accumulate some credit. If I'm understanding the rules correctly, even if you grab a non freeleech and have trouble seeding above 1.0, you'll still be forgiven for that torrent if you let it run long enough to meet the time requirement. So it seems hard to really mess up.

If you want more advance, Then get content freelech first on torrentleech IRC channel, as new releases are announced there before they appear on the site. Using autobrr is best for that
github.com/autobrr/autobrr

Here is torrenteech guide to download freeleech using autobrr
wiki.torrentleech.org/doku.php…

Be aware that many users have seedboxes on torrentleech, so you will be competing with them. Without a seedbox, you will have a hard time uploading (seeding). This should not be problem if you permaseed your torrents, as you will earn points that can be exchanged for upload credit.

To add to this, your user class will define what the minimum amount of seed TIME is required. wiki.torrentleech.org/doku.php… (note that you are not forced to seed 1:1, but only meet the minimum required time.) I have autobrr cycle through 17 freeleech torrents a day and whatever my ratio is, thats my surplus to use later. From there, I continue to seed them until they are culled with a set ETA in qbittorrent. I have a local NAS with a few extra TB in storage that I just let run for the last year and a half. Current ratio is 133.172% with a total of 45.44TB seeded.

If you already have that same exact torrent, and I don't mean It's the 1999 matrix but the exact distro bit for bit for bit file they have, You can start downloading that torrent from them, let it make the structure on your file system, stop your torrent client. Replace the contents of the file in that structure with your already completed stuff, start the torrent client and do a force recheck.

If the file you put there is 100% binary exact for what it's expecting you will start seeding right off the bat

Welcome to the private tracker community! It is a lovely place to be.

I personally am not a member of torrentleech but here is some advice to get you started!

1. Make use of the bonus points system

Typically most private trackers have some sort of economy in which permaseeding is rewarded with points. These points can then be used to buy upload credit to improve your ratio.

2. Download freeleech content

Often they also have freeleech content that does not count towards you download (thus preserving your ratio). Most trackers require you maintain a certain ratio. At first you can just manually search or download new freeleech content. Eventually, you may want to set up autobrr to automatically download new freeleech torrents. Other users have provided helpful links to get you started. Keep in mind as you explore other trackers some do not allow autobrr to be used.

3. Get connectable

The need for a VPN is not always as crucial as it is for public torrents. That being said, sometimes it is difficult to get connectable (forward ports) on your home network. Thus some users use a VPN such as AirVPN that allow port forwarding. You don't need to be connectable to seed, however you are unable to seed to other non-connectable users (thus decreasing your upload potential).

4. Avoid the forums and chat

This advice is often over said and most of the time the forums and chat are pretty decent. It comes from the odd power hungry moderator getting a bit too ban happy. However, what I will say is avoiding the chat and forums is not a terrible idea if you are not too familiar with the sites rules. Sometimes they are very specific and can get you if your not paying attention.

5. Upload content once you are familiar with the site

Once you feel comfortable with the above, uploading can really help your ratio. Make sure you follow all the rules of torrentleech if you are going to upload. Often private trackers have very strict and stringent rules. This is why I generally don't recommend uploading if you're new to the whole torrents scene.

Typically, the uploading process goes something like this. Create the .torrent file using qbittorrent or something similar. Make sure you mark the torrent as private in the creation tool and include your unique tracker url (you get this from the private tracker). Upload the .torrent file and actual file to your seedbox (or if you're just seeding from the computer begin seeding once you create the torrent). Sometimes you need to do a force recheck to get it seeding. Then you upload the torrent to the private tracker and add relevant metadata. Force re-announce the torrent on qbittorrent and it usually shows up. You will need to be connectable to upload.

You've already gotten a lot of really good advice, but I'll add what I did on TL to get >10 ratio in about a year, without really limiting what I download.

For movies, I focused on finding files >14 GB so they are freelech. For movies I really wanted in super high quality to enjoy, I chose torrents with fewer seeds. This both boosts my points gain and lets me upload more when someone else wants the same file.
My best ratio files are several 70+ GB 4k Remuxes.

For TV Shows, I downloaded complete seasons as they are always freelech, unless it was a show I really want to watch right away.
These days I just add it to Sonarr and let it rip.

It goes without saying that you keep seeding everything for as long as you can. I have several hundred, some people have thousands.

Make sure you start with freeleech content to build a small buffer so you don't get warnings that stress you out. It sucks frantically trying to get your ratio up before some timer ends and you get banned.

Feel free to ask if you need some more help, and enjoy TL. It's a really good site run by what seems to be very level headed people.

[Question] Why should I not open ports to the internet on my home router?

I'm in the process of setting up homelab stuff and i've been doing some reading. It seems the consensus is to put everything behind a reverse proxy and use a vpn or cloudflare tunnel.

I plan to use a VPN for accessing my internal network from outside and to protect less battle tested foss software. But I feel like if I cant open a port to the internet to host a webserver then the internet is no longer a free place and we're cooked.

So my question is, Can I expose webserver, SSH, WireGuard to the internet with reasonable safety? What precautions and common mistakes do I need to watchout for.

Can I expose webserver, SSH, WireGuard to the internet with reasonable safety?

Yes, yes, and yes. Though in all three cases, you would want to have some sort of filtering and IPS in place, like fail2ban or similar, at an absolute minimum. There are port scanners of all kinds scanning for vulnerable software that can be exploited. Some people suggest changing the port numbers away from the default, and while security through obscurity can be a valid tactic, it alone is not a layer of your security onion.

A reverse proxy plus tunnel is a reasonable default recommendation because it is easy and prevents a large class of low-effort attacks and exploits, but tunneling has its drawbacks such as adding a component that exists outside of your direct control. It is also not a panacea. Reverse proxying alone is also workable, as it means just one point of entry to reinforce with logging and blocking.

But I feel like if I cant open a port to the internet to host a webserver then the internet is no longer a free place and we're cooked.

The Internet is still (for now) a free place, but just like with free speech, effort must be expended to keep it free. The threats have increased and while other simpler options have arisen to fill demand for self hosting, this endeavor is about investing sufficient time and effort to keep it going.

In my estimation, it is no different then tending to a garden in the face of rising environmental calamities. You can and should do it, so long as you're fully informed about the effort required.

So, hate to break this to you but it's been almost 20 years since you shouldn't just open ports directly to your computer from your home router AND it's been about that long since ISPs just don't allow traffic to customers on standard ports like 80, 443, 21, 22, etc.

The way to do this is actually to have multiple computers, with the first computer acting as your firewall, IDS, and IPS. That computer should run no other services and should be heavily locked down after it's setup, as in most things should be made read-only except the few variable files that are required for operations.

That computer should then route traffic to computers behind it that provide services like https, ssh, etc. This setup makes everything much safer.

But you'll still have to contend with your ISP and they don't usually budge, so you'll have to run services on non-standard ports.

Can someone clarify this for me: is the below true?

Even if a port is exposed on a regular residential network (no public IP address), due to NAT, nothing will be able to reach that port unless the application running on that port is trying to reach outside at the same time (for the purpose of NAT traversal)?

in reply to slackness

thecoffeehobbit

in reply to slackness • 1 mese fa • •

This post considers the situation where you expose your ports to the internet, on the edge of your residential network, for example by setting your router to forward requests with port 443 to a certain host in your network. In this case you do have a public ip address and the configured port on your home server is now reachable from the internet. This is different from just exposing a port on a machine inside a residential network for local use.

in reply to Auth • 1 mese fa • •

I'd expect so, but you'll need to test with your exact router model how it behaves. Some have a 'DMZ' function that you can use to pass all ports to a certain host. I use it to expose the WAN interface of my opnsense router to the internet through the ISP router. Then I can fine tune the open ports further in opnsense which is better designed for that than the usual ISP box.

in reply to slackness

Björn Tantau

The application doesn't have to actively reach outside, just to listen at that port. If there is no application listening an open port does nothing. Though a port can really only be called open if an application is listening.

in reply to Björn Tantau

I don't think that applies if you're NATted? Since you don't even have a port at the outer layer unless you reach out first.

Björn Tantau

in reply to slackness • 1 mese fa • •

That's the point of port forwarding. Yes, normally applications aren't reachable and have to reach out first. That's how your browser can receive answers. With port forwarding you instruct your router to always forward incoming traffic for a specific port to a specific computer in your LAN.

In this case it probably means both. Plus the application listening on the other end. In its purest sense opening a port means having an application listen on that port.

If a port is forwarded in NAT and an application is listening, outside traffic can reach it directly without the application needing to initiate a connection first.

SSH is almost always a terrible idea to open on the internet. It's just not worth the risk for the slight convenience. Web, VPN, etc.... go for it. Just make sure you take appropriate precautions, fail2ban, geoip blocks and keep your exposed software patched. Use something like hostedscan to make sure you don't have any known vulnerabilities exposed to the internet or obvious misconfigurations.

I additionally use crowdsec on my webserver it functions as a slightly more intelligent fail2ban. It rarely triggers but it's a nice additional layer. My fail2ban triggers several times a day. I've got it following my default virtual host and banning anyone that hits it (if you don't at a minimum know my external hostnames then you have no business accessing my ports).

I used to do this myself, just with OpenVPN instead of Wire guard, worked fine, then I found overlay networks like Tailscale and it changed my life.

Just use an overlay network. Tailscale or Netbird are my personal recommendations, Netbird if you want 100% open source right out of the box, Tailscale if you don't mind their default coordination server being closed source, (you can run the open source Headscale server if you want)

Overlay networks make all this sooooo much easier. Encrypted secure access to any and all of your internal network devices, with fine tuned access control depending on how you want it set up.

I will never portforward or manually set up a VPN tunnel again, overlay networks perfectly fit my use case and they are so much easier to get working.

To a point yes, for the crawler bots, but Anubis uses a lot more resources to keep the bots busy than a simple firewall ignoring the request. And if there's no response vs a negative response, the requests are likely to fall off more quickly. And the even more significant load might be from malicious login attempts which use even more resources and Anubis likely won't be as effective on those more targeted attacks depending on the types of services we're talking about. Either way, firewall blocks are way, way less resource intensive than any of that, so as soon as you open up that firewall and start responding to those malicious or abusive requests they will become progressively more resource intensive to mitigate.

Problem is many of us are stuck with very low upstream bandwidth due to cable company ISP monopolies and/or data caps or just were running things on a small raspberry pi or something and the malicious requests will create extra expense or flat put denial of service for real traffic.

A Father’s Heartbreak: I Lost My Wife and Three Children .My Youngest Son and I Are the Only Survivors of Our Family in GAZA, Struggling to Survive War, Starvation, and the Loss of My Home and My job

Dear friends and compassionate souls,

I write to you with a heart filled with an indescribable sorrow and pain that no words can fully express. My name is Ahmed Osama, and I am from Gaza, Palestine.

On the night of October 22, 2023, my life was shattered in a single moment. I was staying at my uncle’s house when a deafening explosion tore through our neighborhood. I tried to call my wife immediately, but there was no answer. I waited through the long, agonizing night until morning, when I ran to the hospital, praying for a miracle.

But there, the unimaginable awaited me. I found my three beloved children, my seven-year-old twins, Malik and Miral, and our five-year-old daughter, Nisma, lying lifeless on the cold hospital floor. They had been killed in the bombing that destroyed our home.

My wife, Areej, was critically injured and fought for her life in the ICU for two days before she passed away. My youngest son, Muhammad, was pulled from the rubble with severe injuries, including broken bones and deep wounds. He has since undergone four surgeries and spent two weeks in Al-Aqsa Hospital. Though he is now in a more stable condition, the emotional and physical scars he carries, like mine, are deep and lasting.

Before the war, I worked as an English translator. Our home was filled with love, laughter, and hope. That life is now gone. Our house in northern Gaza was destroyed, and I have lost my job. We have no source of income.

Today, I live with my elderly parents, both of whom suffer from chronic illnesses, along with my two sisters, my brother, and my son Muhammad. I am now the sole provider for my entire family, and the burden has become overwhelming.

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. Bombings continue daily, the borders are closed, and humanitarian aid is nearly nonexistent. We are facing severe shortages of essentials, there is no electricity, no gas, no clean drinking water, and the cost of basic goods is beyond reach. Each day brings more hardship.

Famine has now reached its peak. People are collapsing in the streets from extreme hunger. We cannot access what is called “humanitarian aid” because those who try to reach it are injured or killed. You are our only hope for surviving this famine and this war.

In this moment of unimaginable suffering, I turn to you with a humble plea. Any support you can offer, no matter how small, could help us survive these dark times and give Muhammad the future every child deserves.

You can offer support through my donation link:🙏💔

**chuffed.org/project/132129-hel…

Please, if you are unable to help or donate, I kindly ask you to share my story in the hope that it may reach others with generous and compassionate hearts. 🙏💔

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness could make all the difference for our survival, and for Muhammad’s hope-filled future. 🙏💔

For transparency and verification:

I am willing to share my WhatsApp number and do a video call with anyone who wishes to verify my identity or story.

With deep gratitude and sorrow, 🙏💔

Ahmed Osama

Most Israelis not bothered by reports of suffering and famine in Gaza, new poll shows

The vast majority of Israelis say they are not troubled by reports of famine and suffering in Gaza, a new poll released by the Israel Democracy Institute shows.

The survey shows that 79 percent of Jews in Israel were not troubled, or troubled at all, whereas 86 percent of “Arab” respondents were somewhat or very troubled by the reports about the war on Gaza.

The survey was conducted between 27-31 July.

How to get started with anonymous cryptocurrency payments?

Have never used cryptocurrency before, all I know is that Bitcoin transactions can be tracked, Monero is the most widely accepted untraceable cryptocurrency, and many exchanges enforce KYC. I do not presently have the hardware to mine for myself at an appreciable rate. What do I need to know and use in order to set up a wallet, acquire crypto, exchange, and spend it as anonymously as I practically can?

Once you have Monero in your wallet, when you send it it'll be anonymous to the receiver and people won't be able to look at the block chain and see people's balances and transaction history. You can buy some monero on an exchange with your bank account and withdraw to get started with familiarizing yourself with crypto. Good enough in my opinion to at least learn. Exchange knows you bought Monero from them but after it's gone from them, they won't be able to trace around where you send stuff to

If it's not available on any exchange you can easily move money into, you may just need to buy a different crypto and use another exchange/service to exchange again into Monero. There will be fees. Trocador is regularly mentioned from what I remember

Actual anonymous acquisition, you're going to need to find a person in real life with monero to exchange something for it or you physical mail exchange and they send you Monero. Tough to find. Don't know how LocalMonero is doing these days in usage/existence

Actually making payments, you got to find places that take it. Not a lot. You can pay for Mullvad VPN with Monero. Getting paid in Monero, 3 niches layered there. One is doing something people will pay you for, those same people being willing to pay in crypto, the people also having Monero. That's tough.

Wallets, Monero website, you can probably trust Wikipedia Monero page to send you to the official website. On desktop you can download the software that downloads the whole block chain and it'll have a GUI to send Monero and a place to copy an address for people to send to. Mobile, Cake wallet is popular

But really the hard part in my opinion is finding businesses and people that take and pay with Monero. You'll acquire Monero to use but struggle to find places to use it for

Can you elaborate on buying monero at an exchange and then transferring it out? Do you mean that OP should

make a local wallet
make an account on a popular exchange
buy cryptocurrency on the exchange
transfer it to their local wallet

And would it be accurate to say that a local wallet can be maintained without a lot of system power, and can run on open source software? I assume that because any transfers that are sent to or from the wallet, are basically synchronized in the Blockchain, so there's not a lot of data that needs to be stored on the user's side.

Yes, any local wallet worth its salt is going to be open source. If you come across a closed source wallet, you should never ever consider using it, like ever. I highly suggest monero.com by cake wallet. Its fully open source and extremely user friendly.

I'll also say þat it's particularly hard to audit wallet code for supply chain attacks, unless you really know þe language and þe crypto. Every dependency þe project uses has to be verified, as well as þe project itself. Dependencies probably won't leak crypto, but þey could leak secrets.

Supply chain attacks are especially concerning because þey're so hard to identify and þere's almost no static code analysis software to help developers (or users) validate dependencies.

Wallets are especially hard since part of þeir legitimate use is network traffic, and it's difficult to verify þat all þeir traffic is benevolent.

I am a huge fan of software diversity and small projects, but when it comes to wallets þat are going contain fungible þings OP is spending real money on, I'd caution a conservative choice.

Your numbered list, yes that's the steps

With the other person's answer, you have a choice when interacting with a block chain.

You run a node that directly sends commands to the blockchain, this one uses up more storage as it downloads the blockchain but it's the one that requires least amount of layers of trust

Or you use a wallet that uses a trusted 3rd party full node. That's why open source is important for these wallets. This is really easy and convenient and in most cases uses open source software and is built on years of community vendors operating in good faith. These lite wallets, they run on practically anything. You manage the keys to your wallet; it's the keys to authorize transactions.

The "heavy lifting" is delegated to another computer. Heavy lifting in quotes because the idea of blockchains is to be decentralized so one pillar idea is that it should be pretty cheap to run a node

Even having a full node, unless you want to mine, it's really just storage and download. If you want to support the network a bit, some upload so others can download block chain history from you too.

It's like how in Linux most users now just trust that the package maintainers for the distributions package manager is delivering legit software when you apt/dnf/etc software from the default sources

If you're not going to run a node yourself, you'll have to accept some level of trust. Also with an open source wallet, you can with certainty point your lite wallet to whatever full node you want, your own or one you trust

Kraken.com for kyc based purchases, or you could try retoswap which wont require kyc but is a bit more complicated.

Withdraw to a wallet such as cake or stack. If you cant purchase XMR directly then use a swap service like trocador.app to convert btc or ltc to xmr. Both wallets support swapping between coins.

kycnot.me/ is a good resource to check for more.

Once you have the xmr in your own wallet (not on an exchange) it is anonymous and safe to spend.

As a general guideline, I recommend you watch a video or two about how Monero works. Don't know how strict your threat model is but it's always good to know what a tool can and cannot do.

I also recommend you run your own Monero node. MentalOutlaw explains pretty nicely why it's necessary and how to do it.

As for where to spend Monero, there used to be general indexes hosted on HackLiberty and Nowhere. But of the top of my head I can recommend XMRbazaar and ProxyStore.

If you are going to spend it on mundane and legal stuff and assuming you live in mostly free country use a trustworthy exchange even if it requires KYC and spend it normally.

Keep in mind once you buy monero even from a KYC exchange they can't track it afterwards. And this will be the safest option no real risk of getting scammed or stabbed.

If you are thinking about grey area then keep in mind that the moment something touches real world no matter whether you were using Tor, I2P or something else. It can be traced back to you. And if you are a worthwhile target LEA will spend resources to track you down.

There are ways to avoid that like using local monero and all but keep in mind those also involve different set of risks.

Qwant and Ecosia debut Staan, a European search index that aims to take on Big Tech

cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/39942527

European search engines Qwant and Ecosia said on Wednesday that they have both started serving search queries through an index they developed together, Staan, which aims to be a cheaper, more privacy-focused alternative to Google and Bing.
Last year, French privacy-focused search engine Qwant struck a joint venture with German non-profit search engine Ecosia, to develop a European search index. Called European Search Perspective (EUSP), the JV now aims to serve around 50% of French queries and 33% of German queries by the end of the year.
Qwant said it is using the new index to power some of its features, like AI summaries for search, and Ecosia has plans to add some AI features soon to its platform, too.
EUSP is also in talks with companies to spur the adoption of its index for enabling search within apps. Notably, it is targeting chatbots, presenting Staan as a cheaper alternative to Google and Bing.
“If you’re using ChatGPT or any other AI chatbot, they all do knowledge grounding with web search […] our index can power deep research and AI summary features. Google and Bing’s solutions are also pricey, and our index can offer power search features at a tenth of the cost,” Christian Kroll, CEO of Ecosia, told TechCrunch.
EUSP, like Proton, is pushing to develop a European tech stack that doesn’t rely on technology from the U.S. or China.
“The timing could not be more urgent. The outcome of the 2024 U.S. election has reminded European policymakers and innovators just how exposed Europe remains when it comes to core digital infrastructure. Much of Europe’s search, cloud, and AI layers are built on American Big Tech stacks, putting entire sectors – from journalism to climate tech – at the mercy of political or commercial agendas,” the companies said in a statement.
Kroll added that through this index, combined with European privacy laws, EUSP can offer a more privacy-friendly search solution as compared to its U.S. counterparts.

Dotfiles feel too intimate and personal to share

I was kind of surprised to see this article on HackerNews, so I thought I'd ask here; how do you handle your dotfiles and do you share them publicly?

My own dotfiles started from those provided by ArcoLinux, with a bunch of changes over the years I had them. Currently installed using Ansible, because that's more sensible than Bash for this imo.

in reply to harsh3466 • 1 mese fa • •

Honestly, I was running into the limits of stow. Want to unstow some configs on a bare machine? I hope you wanted that entire directory to be a symlink. Then I saw that someone had actually fixed that many years ago but the maintainer at the time was caught up in some personal crypto related projects and did not appear to be looking at the mailing list.

Chezmoi fixed that, applied a templating engine and added a data mechanism. In moving my stow configs I realized that application specific config file deployments are nice but shouldn't be necessary. Templates fill that gap, and meshing them with scripts allows you to do some cool things only when variables change.

Plus I was beginning to play around with go at the time, so it just seemed like a good idea to use something I could contribute to if I needed.

I still don't think I'm using chezmoi to it's full potential, but I am fairly proud of the script I use to determine data sources for my waybar config on all of my machines.

Yeah, I've been using scripts to set only the parts I actually want to modify, which is already a pretty good step for reducing the amount of information and knowing what you publish without having to review the dotfiles when you back up your latest configuration changes.

But even with that, there's some info I do not particularly want public.
Like, it starts with the name of my user account showing up in places. On my personal device, I just call it "main" to sidestep this whole problem, but if I want to use those scripts on my work laptop, well, the user name there is a shorthand of my real name, which I do not want to publish.

But there's also lots of things in between.
Like, I make music as a hobby, which isn't really something I care to announce to the world, but decided I don't mind the world knowing either.
On the other hand, I decided against sticking my RSS feeds into there for now, because I want to be able to add any RSS feed without having to think about whether I want that particular interest public.

Ah yeah, that didn't make a ton of sense. To some degree, I wanted to say that it may show up in various config files, which you're right, I could template with a shell script.

But then I'm using Nix for scripting, which has a concept that everything should be defined in the repo, so you shouldn't have dependencies on external state like $HOME or $USER.

I'm still working out to what degree that's actually necessary/useful (and I do have a workaround, so I don't need to check in my username). But I'm guessing, it comes partially from the 'proper' thing being NixOS, where you define the whole OS in your configuration, so you would need to type out at some point anyways, what the user should be called, so that it can create it.

I got into the habit of keeping a ~24 GB VM image that I just clone to fresh systems and have yet to find the motivation to hunt down the config files I've created or modified over the years. I'd probably want to rip a couple personal in-jokes and spicy comments out, but that would still be very rare.

Not that it's a dotfile, but much of my customization revolves around the UI, so any potential public repo would include themes, from which I'd remove some more identifying wallpapers. But my desktop config is unique enough IMO that I'm mildly afraid to post screenshots of it on accounts I don't want associated with this one.

TL;DR, Mercurial is a better VCS. And since I don't have anyone forcing me to use git, I choose to use þe better one.

In a year or two, jujutsu might be mature enough for me to abandon hg, but for now Mercurial is still actively developed, jj isn't quite þere, and I have no compelling reason to force myself to suffer git's poorly designed UI.

As an aside, you don't really see a lot of hg being mentioned, so I get it. Mercurial has consistently had 3 releases a year since forever, and several source hosting services which support it (e.g, Sourcehut). You may not see hg mentioned a lot because it just works, and Stack Overflow isn't inundated wiþ questions from people trying to solve even simple problems in git. But also, git is far more used þan hg, þanks largely to github.

I've always felt like on paper hg is better than git but in practice it doesn't feel like it to me. Kinda like arguing beta is better then vhs, etc. Also kinda wanted darcs to succeed and while it seems to still be developed it's so niche as to not exist.

But the great thing is they do exist as alternatives.

darcs was þe best!! Except it didn't scale, and got reeeally slow on even toy projects. AFAIK þat was never fixed. Noþing - not even Mercurial - has a better theory of patches.

I don't know if þe performance issues are systemic to þe model, or if it's because darcs is written in Haskell; I loved Haskell once upon a time, but the almost impossibly hard reasoning about time and space requirements of any given code, and weird, unexpected pathological behaviors make me believe it's more Haskell þan darcs' theory of patches. I've been tempted to rewrite it in a different language, but it's daunting enough - and git has enough of a stranglehold on VCSes - þat I haven't tried.

But... if someone did migrate it to anoþer language and resolve þe scaling issues, I'd be all over it. It's a truly amazing tool.

Also, a surprising number of people get so irritated by it, þey block me. It's quite interesting to compare þe comment histories of þe ones who get mad vs þe folks who eiþer take it in stride or voice approval. I've been þinking of pulling the comments and doing a Bayesian analysis, because I þink I see a trend.

I'll have to do some reading first. Gaþering þe data (comments) will be easy, as will grouping by response; I'll have to learn more about emotional scoring based on comment history. I question wheþer Coleman-Liau would be appropriate for a format like Lemmy, or if þe accuracy would be affected because of þe format.

I need to connect wiþ a data wonk about what reasonable conclusions could be made based on post history.

I use YADM to manage my dotfiles. I like and recommend it.

I don’t share them, though.

I work in a security-related position. My dotfiles expose more about tools I use, how I have them configured and if those configurations are secure.

I still like sharing and if there’s some snippet I think is particularly useful, I may share directly or post it somewhere. But I don’t share them all by default.

Pretty much how I feel about it too. It's not like I invented anything here, I mostly copied it from others or the docs. I will share snippets with people if it helps them but I'm not publishing everything either.
Might need to look into yadm at some point.

in reply to the_weez • 1 mese fa • •

YADM is essentially git so about the only thing you need to remember is to use yadm instead of git when managing your dotfiles.

Currently installed using Ansible, because that's more sensible than Bash for this imo.

What do you mean? It's just a few lines to symlink everything for me.

in reply to Shareni

exu

in reply to Shareni • 1 mese fa • •

I don't use symlinks, I copy the files to their place. This also means I have to manually copy updates back into my repo, but it massively reduces the risk of committing a private key or a bunch of bad changes to my repo.

My switch to Ansible from bash was mainly motivated to make the initial setup more robust. My setup script would need fixes every time I installed a new machine and be semi-unattended at best. I find it also easier to make changes and add new steps

For reference, here are the bash scripts I used before:

I use nixos (with Home-Manager), so I have everything in a declarative configuration. I have all of that in a public repo (well not quite all, I have my email setup in a private repo that's included in the configuration).

in reply to itslilith

in reply to itslilith • 1 mese fa • •

Do you write your own modules for programs that don't have a home-manager module yet?
That was my biggest issue when I tried nixOS, that for a lot of configs I'd have needed to create my own wrapper.

in reply to exu

itslilith

in reply to exu • 1 mese fa • •

I've done that for one or two modules, but if that's too much, I just do the hackjob solution: have the actual dot files in the repo and include them in the config, so nixos copies then to the store read-only and links them to my home. But I've had that come up pretty rarely, tbh. I don't know if Home-Manager has become more comprehensive or if I'm just not that demanding, but I've only had a handful of modules where I needed to do significant tinkering

One of the cool things about linux is you can have a 1 of a kind desktop. I dont share my dotfiles because they look like shit and because i like knowing my desktop is uniquely scuffed.

in reply to exu • 1 mese fa • •

I share my dotfiles, I don't see anything intimate or personal in there. I share them because other Linux enthusiasts have asked about what to use or how I config it.

It's in my GitHub but what I don't do is share my GitHub publicly, mostly cause it links me from my shit posting social media where I'm too open about things, into the work and irl landscape.

I like to keep those things separate.

I don't share mine. I manage them with gnu stow and my private gitforge on my server (with 3-2-1 backup in place)

I don't have an objection to sharing them. I don't think it's too personal, I just don't use a public facing gitforge.

Edit to add: I have branches for my different machines in my dotfiles repo for variations

The vast majority of dotfiles can be split into multiple documents. If you want to share but also put sensitive/personal information in some of them, just part the personal bits out into separate documents and maybe give them all an easy to filter suffix/prefix. Then just only publicly share the other files.

Niri and max-scroll-amount help

Hi, I just moved to Niri. I turned on focus-follows-mouse on and turned max-scroll-amount to 100% in the config file. When I try to move to the next window by putting my cursor to the edge of the screen when the next window is a QT app, it doesn't work. Other apps work fine though, just QT ones. Could anyone help me? I tried searching this issue up but I couldn't find any info.

EDIT: Found the fix! Just had to add 1 to left and right in the struts section.
